MR.. WEBSTER'S SPEECH IN REPLY
TO CHAS. j. INGERSOLL.

In the Senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Webster
spoke as follows in relation to Mr. Ingersoll's &C
cusatons of corruption against him, and the call
on the President for the items Of expenditure of
the secret service fund:
Mr. Webster rose and said | have few, and
but few, remarks to make on the Presidents
message in answer to the resolution of the House
of Representatives calling for an account of the
disbursements during the period in which had
the honor to be Secretary of State ont of the fund
for the contingent expenses Of foreign intercourse
In the first place, sir, | am happy to say that I
entirely approve the course of proceeding which
the President has adopted. In my judgment, he
could not have acted otherwise than he has done,
without the violation of law and of his own duty.
Sir, as know that not dollar was disbursed
from that fund without the sanction of the Presi-
dent, and as am conscious that every disburse-
ment was made for proper and necessary public
purpose, it might be thought that should desire
the publication of the papers, in order that every
body might see what they are, or what they show
But this is a matter Of so little concernment to me
(and presume it is of as little TO the late Presi-
dent) that / certainly would not wish to see an
important principle, and an important law, VIC
lated and broken for any personal convenience in
that respect. ] am not at all apprehensive that
the country will suspect either President Tyler,
or me, acting under his authority, of any thing
improper in the disbursement Of few hundred or
few thousand dollars, in case in which the
law fePoses confidence in the President, and gives
him discretion as to making the expenditure
public.
Sir, President Of the United States. or the
head of Department acting by his authority,
must think but poorly of his own reputation and
standing with the country if he is afraid of being
suspected of having violated his duty and his oath
in a matter of so little moment. / will add, that
person who entertains such a suspicion, without
reason, of any public man, may himself be we'll
suspected OF having held no very complimentary
dialogue with himself
Sir, we all know that tho head Of Depart
ment cannot touch a dollar Of this fund except
with the Presidents sanction The whole power.
and the whole responsibility, is with tho Presi-
dent. The Presidents message states this so
fully and clearly that need not dwell upon it,
| will say, in the first place. that no expenditure,
improper in itself, or improper in its amount, was
made to my knowledge, judgment, or belief
And will say, in the next place, that the late

WYE LA BAGATELLE.

The correspondent of the New York Herald
tells the following, for truth, in his communica-
ton of the 10Th April =
ga good story is told of Mr.. Pakenham, and
drunken man upon the Avenue. The British
Minister was passing on foot up to the capitol.
when Mr.. Rumtoddy intercepted him, and &C
costed him: '' You are that British Pakenham,
amt you2 Yes, know you are. Well, inst
bear it in mind will you, that you are not going
TO get the first inch of Oregon below 81 40, and
be ID to you'll" A passer by informed Mr.
Pakenham that the man was drunk Certain
ly," said the Minister, " no sober man would
make such declaration as that" Recently, too
upon another occasion, Her British Majesty's
representative passed from the capitol to the Pre-
sident's in his carriage, with 81 40 chalked upon
its sides. Had the President seen it, it would
have justified the calling of Cabinet Council
upon this new and extreme assumption Of Great
Britain.
owe are informed that great alarm prevails a.
mong the Catholic hierarchy of Mexico, in ap.
prehenson of an invasion from the United States,
and the falling Of the church treasures into the
hands of the heretics; according to the repuled
maxim Of the Secretary of War, that " to the vic
tors belong the spoils" We would tell the good
priests Of Mexico, that the people of the United
States are civilized people, and will carry on The
war, in the event of an invasion of Mexico, upon
any other than the barbarous plan Of Santa Anna
in his invasion of Texas in 1886"
The New era. [volume] ([Portsmouth, Va.]) 1845-1847, 1846-04-28

PRESIDENT OF the United States, in all things re-
speeding the expenditure of the public moneys,
was remarkably cautious, exact, and particular.
And here say, sir, that all declarations, aver
ments, statements. or insinua,ions, made any
where, or by any body. which impute perversion,
mlsapplcati0n, or waste Of the public funds com.
mitted OF made by me while Secretary of State,
are utterly groundless and untrue. And | will
conclude with one remark, the bearing of which
shall leave to the Senate and to the country
Whoever charges me with having either mis-
applied or wasted the public funds, while in the
Department OF State, has either seen the papers,
or has, in some other way, obtained knowledge
on the subject or he has not. Ii he has seen no
papers, and has no knowledge, then his impua-
tlons are purely wanton and slanderous II he
has seen the papers, or has any knowledge, then
he would be sure to state what he knows, if he
knows anything to sustain him in his charge. -
Silence, under such circumstances is conclusive
that he knows nothing; because he is under no
obligation of secresy, and, absence of all other
proof, he would of course tell all he knew, if he
knew anything which could, in the slightest de-
gree, bear him out; The charge, therefore, was
either made in inter ignorance Of any facts TO sup
port 1t, or else with the knowledge that the facts
which 90 exist would, if made known, entirely
dsprove it, As TO the source of this miserable
vituperation, have nothing to say. | am afraid
| shall be thought 10 have paid TOO much attention
to 1t already. Sir, | leave the author of these
ISLANDERS where he isl leave him in the worst
company | know of in the world leave him
with himself

ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY

Yesterday our City was all alive with the pa
rade OF the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, in
celebration of the Anniversary of their truly be-
neVolent and excellent Institution Aureeablv to
the programme announced several DAYS before,
the members OF the Order assembled at their Hall
on Wolfe street, where they received their Broth
rem from Portsmouth, and having formed in Order
OF procession, proceeded through the route previ-
ously arranged, to French's Hotel, where the
Orator Of the Day, P. ID. d. G. SIRE, SAM'L.
YORK AT LEE, was received and escorted 10
the Theatre, where the Grafton was delivered TO
a very large and respectable auditory, graced by
the presence of many of the fair and intelligent
daughters of our City. The Orator performed
his interesting part in the ceremonies with pecu
liar grace and fitness, impressng his audience
with deep generation of the Order, and ia
vorable sense of his own talents as public snea
ker. After the Grafton, the procession was again
formed and pursued the route designated in the
programme, to Military Hall, where the Breth
rem, with their invited guests, partook of a SUNNI
tuous and elegant collation., in spirit of harmony
and brohefly feeling corresponding with the prn-
ciPles of their Order The procession then form
cd again and escorted the Portsmouth Brethren
to the ferry wharf; after which they returned to
their Lodge in Wolfe street, and so concluded
the ceremonies of the day.
They were attended during the day by the
splendid Fortress Monroe Band, under the di-
Tection of Mr.. w. L. Bloomfield, their accom-
PlIshed Leader, who also gave Grand Instru
mental Concert at the Avon Theatre in the even

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

sion of five hundred and fifteen thousand one

OF founding an institution in the District of Co

edge among men," About ten years have elapsed
since our Government accepted the trust, and
eight years next September, since the money was
obtained from the English Court of Chancery,
and paid into the Treasury of the United States.
With an interest accruing since its receipt into
the treasury, nearly two hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, the bill now before Congress pro-
poses to erect the buildings, and the insitu tinn is
to be supported hereafter on the interest of the
original amount. This would seem to exhibit
great dIlatorlness on the part of Congress, but
the delay may be attributed to the opposition
made to it on constitutional grounds. Sufficient
time we should think has, however, been given
10 dispose of the matter. one way or the other,
and it is to be hoped that the present Congress
will not adjourn without doing so-BaEt Re

GRAIN CROPS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

We have received from all sections of the
State, the most iat,ering accounts of the pros
poets for bountfu grain crop, which will in
great measure alleviate the horrors of destitution
which afflict many portions of our State We
hope TO have the pleasure of laying before our
readers some experiments which we fancy we
have successfully tested in raising wheat, which
may show that the value of this crop has never
been properly estimated in our State By an
analysis recently made, it has been proven that
live barrels of Southern flour will make as much
bread as six barrels of the best New York flour.
Our grain is much richer in gluten. and if pro-
pefly prepared, the -four can be made almost to
equal the best canal brands in its appearance
