We understand that the Supreme, Court, al
its present term, has decided in favor OF the
Government the question of its right to collect
duties under the Compromise law, during the
period which interviewed between the first July,
1912, when the tariff Of duties as regulated by
that law ceased, and the new law commenced.
1t will be remembered by the country, that,
for having caused the collection of duties during
that time, the President was accused by the
Federal Wings of assuming usurped au-
thority, and, as il was called at that time,
ierying ship money. 1t was recollected that
for this he was denounced by J. q. Adams, IN
his memorable report, and declared TO be i'ly
subject to impeachment; and that when the Pre-
sident protested against this unjust proceeding,
the House Of Representatives refused his pro-
test place upon its journals.
The highest judicial tribunal has now vindl-
Gated the judgment of the President, and his
purity of character, and history will do impair
tial Justice TO his accusers. "Truth is mighty
and will prevail"

PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT IN THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Mr. EplroR l perceive with feelings of great
pleasure, that the Hon. w. II. Hammelt, of Misss'
sppi, has introduced joint resolution, authorizing
the Joint Committee of the Library to decorate the
Rotundo of the Capitol with flags of all foreign coun
tries which have been made trophies by the va|or OF
American arms, where The young men of our coun-
try can have opportunity of seeing them whenever
they shall visit the seat of Government and thus re-
mind them of the chivalry and patriotism of their
counlrymen in by-gone days. This patriotic move.
ment is calculated to enkndle in the bosoms of the
young men of the country feeling of patriotism so
necessary at this important crisis in our National
affairs, when it is evident that British diplomacy and
the secret emissaries of that Government are using
every exertion in their power to ALLEVIATE the Ame-
rican People from the true and legitimate principles
which produced the American Revolution, and esab-
shed the present Constitution. These trophies, exhi.
bited to The gaze and admiration Of the American
young men, will recall to their minds the pleasing
trospectons of the vaor and patriotism of our Revo
utionary fathers, and enkindle in the country true
and genuine American feeling. This, of ITSELF will
do to eradicate the British party in our coun.
try, who have done every thing in their power from
the days of the Hartford Convention, to break down
that Republican spirit which is so congenial to the
American People than any other. There they can
gaze with enthusiasm worthy Of their illustrous
ancestors upon their heroic deeds, and admire the
" Star Spangled Banner" Of their own dear and ma
tive country.

Agreeably to the declarations of the prisoners taken
before the authorities of the Mexican Government
the greatest courtesy and kindness subssted between
Sentmanat and Mr. Patterson, cabin passenger dur

No man could do more in favor of the prisoners
Than Mr. Patterson has done under the circumstances
Not even you yourself, had you been placed in the
same position, could do more for the American sal
ors, in declaring them, and other American passen
gers that were IN the schooner, innocent and, far
IRON wishing TO crimnate our Government, as stated
IN your letters, only take the trouble to look the
declarations taken from Mr.. Patterson and the pri-
