eral TAYLOR and his administration has
been systematic course of detraction.
AT one time eliminating the Cabinet, at
another time denouncing the PRESIDENT,
it has steadily pursued one object and SO
coarse have been its phrases, so unscru-
pulous its perversions, that one might al
most suppose it had adopted the belief
that the force Of allegations depended
upon their falsity, and that no invective
could be severe unless expressed in the
language of grossness. AT no period has
it exhibited more violence and reckless
ness than now the force of habit seems to
be more and more conjoined with impulses
of instinct, so as to add continually to the
virulence of its illusions. Whether it is
encouraged by the hope that its system Of
defamatory tactics gives better promise of
success, or whether it is growing despe-
rate at the prospect of its failure, it is not
worth while to conjecture. The turbid
current will run on in either case.

The Galphfn Claim.

The first resolution of the majority OF
the committee appointed to investigate this
claim is in conflict with the reports which
we publish below. OF the latter, it NAV
be safely affirmed that the facts were re-
garded as authentic, the arguments fair,
and the conclusion legitimate. More than
one half of the committee who voted for
this resolution were members of the House
of Representatives in lS48, when the bill
authorizing and requiring the Secretary of
the Treasury to examine the claim, and
pay the award that should be found due,
was passed. The objection of either one
OF these gentlemen, or of any other mem
Der, to the consideration of the bill, at the
time ofits passage, would have defeated il.

the bill reported by him from the Committee on
Commerce, authorizing the Postmaster General TO

the opposition came from the other side of tho
chamber.
Mr.. CALDWELL replied that the bill had more
friends on the Democratic than on the Wing side.
Did the gentleman hear the speech OF the gentle
man from Ohio, (Alr GIpDINGs!)
Mr.. MARSHALL said he did, and thought that
the gentleman had forgotten the history of his own
part oil the country.
Mr.. GIDDINGS, by permission, entered into a
brief statement TO show that only protection is
in the arms of the backwoodsmen, as in former
times.
Mr.. MARSHALL, on the contrary, referred to
the engagements under Anthony Wayne and st.
Clair, and TO the action at Tippecanoe, &c, to re-
mind the gentleman that il was sometimes conve-
nient to forget that regulars were engaged in all OF
our wars. He then said that true policy demands
that the Indians should be whipped soundly, and at
once, and until they that treaty ia a boon.
