ON the first day OF the next week.
Randolph who was not ABOVE caves
dropping, came into Congress ana
moved resolution that the Presldehtl
should not declare s WI, war c' against uresl as'
Britain. Clay and the congress sup.
pressed him, and handOiph ppcnsneu
an address 10 his constituents. This
led Clay to put card in the Intclli-
gencer, In which ehe Establishes the
principle that the House has a right
to know through its organ, the
Speaker, the specific motion which q
member intends making, and that 1t
will itself fix the time of hearing an
argument. " Henry Clay.o assisted by
Calhoun, Langdon, Cheves, afterward
Speaker, ana VIM. Lowndes, three Of
the lot from South Carolina, actually
made the war Of 1872. Madison and
his cabinet being very doubtful on the
subject, and his Secretary, Gallatin,
decidedly opposed to it. Cheves suc-
ceedcd Clay as Speaker, having been
the head of the Ways and Means
Committee under Clay, and he i'm
posed the war taxes. They all re-
sented Gallatin's want of haste in
taxing the people, and Cheves, whom
Clay afterward put into the United
States Bank, never thought well OF
Galfatin.
