The parallel passage has not the piquancy
of the original speech, but I hope the
Hon. Senator will excuse me, when I state
that I have given the nearest paraphrase of
which in situaiton would admit, as my seat
in the gallery placed an additional bar to :1
full and adequate report.
Mr. Preston arose in favor of the menio-
rialists. He said that perhaps he felt unduly
prejudiced in favor of the letter writers, hav-
ing been once,/latlerczl by one of them, who
had traced a strong personal ,resemblance
between him and the Hon. Senator from Con-
necticut! That Senator had objected to the
letters written by these gentlemen, that they
were caricatures. Now he would inform
the Senator, that though the design of a cari-
cature be to raise a smile, yet that its excel-
lence consists in the fidelity with which it
portrays some leading features of the objects
which it represents. In this respect the let-
ters written from Washington, (allowing that
Senatorls remark to be true,) convey a more
lively idea of realities, than the most labori-
ous report.
Mr. Niles was understood to say that he
had now become hardened to obloquy. He.
had been accustomed to be abused from his
youth upwards! He thankedqthe Senator
/gem South Carolina for his friendly compli-
ent. He was himself a younger and a
ihandsomer man than the newspaper corres-
pondents would allow.
The question was soon after taken on the
question to postponethe memorial indefinitely.
Ayes 20, nays 17. ,
Mr. Niles is one of a. class of political
demagogues, who would gladly stifle the lib-
erty ofthe press. Corrupt in their motives,
and exposed to the galling shafts of ridicule
from their manifest incompetency for the pub-
lic oflices to which the influence ofparty man-
agement has raised them, these men may well
dread the influence of the most powerful or-
gan of public opinion. But above all things,
should John M. Niles be careful how he
talks of hirelings, lest it be brought forward, to
raise the blistering blush of shame. on his
forehead, how he was the hireling of govern-
ment, the base tool of a faction through
whom that most mendacious and scurrillous
print, the Hartford Times, was made to cast
forth the filth, which other papers in the
pay ofthe administration, however sunk their
condition, disdained to soil their columns
withall l
The consideration of Jlr. Ri-t-cs's resolu-
tion being resumed, Mr. Niles took the floor,
and occupied the Senate with his remarks
for the remainder oftheday. —N. Y. Slur.
In the House, ilfr. llIason of Ohio, had
leave to oflbr this resolution :
“Result.-czl, That George IV. Jones, late
delegate from VVISCOHSIII, is not entitled to
mileage and perdiem, for this session ofCon-
gress.” ,
The Speaker laid before the House, a let-
ter from Mr. Jones, in which it appeared that
he had had this pay given him; but, hear-
ing that some dispute existed as to this right.
he sent it back; claiming, however, to re-
ceive it as a matter of right.
III)‘. ll’Ia.son stistained his motion. He de-
,scribed Mr Jones’ conduct as unparalleled,
and entirely inexcusable. He had come up
‘to this -‘session of Congress, knowiiig his com-
petitor, after a fair trial before the people, had
been elected by a large majority over himself,

&c. Before ‘this motion to suspend could be
put, several motions to adjourn were put and
lost. The motion to suspend wasthen put,
and carried by a vote of 125 yeas to 27 nays.
III)". McKa._7/ (L. F.) wanted to amend the
-resolution so as to get hold, also, of an opin-
ion of the Attorney General, (understood to
be an opinion in favor of llfr. Cass’s receiv-
ing a per certtum on disbursements.) The
amendment was adopted: and the rosolution
of 1IIr. Ha.rla71. was carried, without a divis-
ion.
Some Executive communications were
then laid before the House by the Speakeri;
_ and the House adjourned.—Co7m. Coura//it‘.
January 7.
In the Senate, on Monday, a communica-
tiontwas received from the Secretary of the
Treasury, in conformity to a resolution of the
4th instant, in relation to the keeping and
disbursing of public monies in foreign coun-
tries, which was referred to the Committee on
Finance,‘ A communication was received
from the Secretary of War, asking an a pro-
priation to prevent the spread of smal pox
among the Indians of the Upper Missouri,
and referred to the Committee on Indian af-
fairs.—The special order of the day, being
-the bill for the reduction and graduation of
‘the price of the public lands was debated
three hours, after which the Senate adjourn-
ed.
In the House petitions were presented
from the several states, and among them we
noticena great number of abolition petitions.
A petition with 205 signatures, among which
was that of Mr. Bryant, editor of the Even-
ing Post, prayed the repeal of the resolutions
against "petitions on slavery introduced by
Mr. Atherton of New Hampshire.
" Mr. Cashing of Massachusetts presented
.'-he resolves of the Legislature of Massachu-
_ setté‘. passed at its last session, and also a long
—
the Federal Government, and declaring Mr.
Atherton’s resolutions unconstitutional.
Mr. Athertpn‘s resolutions have by no means
effectually prevented the discussion of the
subject of slavery in Congress, by its intro-
duction as collateral to matters which cannot
be kept of-the House.
Janna-7'_r/' 8.
Congress dpes not appear to have done
much on Tuesday. The Senate was at work
nearly all day upon the Graduation Land
Bill,with which probably nothing will be done
this session. They have but about seven
weeks to work in—and the bill will have to
pass the House ordeal after going through
the Senate; ifindeed the other branch do not
get up a bill of their own which will be found
at the last moment irreconcilable with the
Senate bill. ..
In the House, the principal theme was de-
falcations generally, and ll_.'lr. Swartwout’s
in particular. An act was passed .‘to provide
for carrying into effect a convention between
the United States of America, and the repub-
lie of Texas, and for marking the boundary
between that republic and the United States.’
Bills making appropriations for the civil and
diplomatic expenses of the government for
1839; amending the act to authorize the is-
sue of Treasury Notes; for the suoport of
the Military Academy of the United States
for 1839; and for the continuation of the
Cumberland road in Ohio, Indiana and Illi-
nois, were referred to the Committee ofthe
‘Whole.
January 9.
In the Senate, _Mr. Prentiss, of Vermont,
presented resolutions adopted by the Legis-
lature of Vermont, requesting their Repre-
sentatives in Congress, to use all their exer-
tions to prevent the annexation of Texas to
the Union, and to procure the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia. He
moved that they be received.
Mr. Lump/tin moved to lay the motion on
tshetable, w__hich was agreed to, ayes 27, pays
The land ‘bill was farther discussed by
Messrs. Merrick, Fulton, Walker and Buch-
anan.
]lIr. Clay of Ky. presented a substitute
for the whole measure. This substitute em-
braces the distribution bill of the Senator
from Kentucky. No question before ad-
journing.
In the House, the debate upon raising a se-
lect committee on defalcations was restimed,
and occupied the time ofthe House until the
adjournment. A sketch ofMr. Bond’s speech
or this subject will be found in another col-
uinn.
January 10.
The Naval Service. has been the matter
under consideration in the House of Repre-
setatives, and the Land Bill in the Senate.
Mr. Clay has made an eloquent speech in
favor of his Distribution Land Bill, which he
brought forward as an amendment to the bill
proposing a reduction ofthe price of—Public
Lands. He has argued the matter with abili:
ty—contrasted his bill with that proposing a
reduction in the price of Public Lands, and
answered‘ the objections to the Distribution
system, with ability——nieet_ting them all fair-
ly, and refuting them all triumphantly.
Mr. Clay’s Land Bill in the form present-
ed, has been rejected by a large vote, after
the adoption of one ofits most important pro-
vis_ions_——allowing the poor eniigrant to pur-
chase the half ,of _a quarter ‘section ofland
(St; a_ci'e_.-3) at the reduced price offiftyi cents
the acre, after the land has remained unsold
for the space of fifteen years.
'I-‘ho Dry Dock at Brooklyn, has been the
great theme oftliscussion in the House of
Iiepresertt-atives.‘ Mr. Hofiinan made an’ able
and clo.qaci'it _spe,2ch in favor of it.
.ILI.7L1l-(BT12/. ll.
The Senate resumed the consideration of
the bill to reduce and graduate the price of
the public lands; and the bill, as amended,
having been reported to the Senate.
Mr. Clay, ofKentucky, called for the yeas
and nays on concurring with the commit-
tee of the whole in the first amendment as
iineniled, liinitiug the benefits of the bill
to actual settlers on the land under the bill,
or on land adjacent. Yeas 25, nay 16.
The other amendments of the bill wer.e
then concurred in, with one exception.
The question now being on the amend-
merit from Mr. .Clay’s substitute, authorising
the pu,1'cl_ia,se of 80 acres or less by settlers
on the land at 50 cents per acre.
The atnendment was rejected.
nays 23,.
Mr. Rives now moved that the bill be in-
definitely postponed.
After a few remarks from Mr. Morris,
The Senate adjourned till Monday.
The House resumed the consideratioii of
the unfinished business of the morning hour,
being the consideration of the modified resolu-
tions of Mr. Wis_c, providing for the publi-
cation of 20,000 extra _copi_es of certain‘ pub-
lic docurneiits in relation to defaulters, &c.
Mr. W/iiltlcsey moved to amend the reso-
lutions by striking out 20,000 and inserting
5,000, which would be enough to supply the
inembers of the House, and also those press-
es in the country which wished to print them
for political purposes, whilst 20,000 copies
would not be enough for general distribution.
The following resolutions were after some
debate adopted;
Resolved, That 20,000 extra copies of do-
cument No. -297, of the 2d section of the
25th congress, and a like number extra of do-
cument No. ',13, of the present session of con-
gress, the former relating to public default-
ers, the latter to the ,defalcations_ of Samuel
Swartwout, be printed.
Resolved, That .the Secretary of the Trea-
sury reportito this House: 1. W'hatdefalca-

THE RECENT DEFALCATIONS.-—WHERE
rm: GUILT LIES.
Mr. Bond’s Specclt.——In the course of the
debate which occurred in the House of Rep.
resentafives on the 9th inst. relative to the
appointment of a committee to investigate
the recent defalcations:
“ M r- B006 rgmintled the House that General
-IHCRSOU. in his inaugural speech, said ii would
devolve on him to ‘t manage the revenue of the
country.’-' ,t1n;.l that that duty was ti “searching
operation." both "delicate and important," and
constituted noineonsiderable share "of his" of-
ficial duties. lmineiliately flllPr this, be ap.
pointed Samuel Swarlwout collector of New
York. Although the Senate had been in ses-
sion. this appointment was not made until after
it had adjourned, and be was continued in office
a full year beforethe Senate had an opportunity
ofacting on the nomination. He held the office
Until March. 1833. when his term expired. ‘
" All appeared well until Congress was told in
the late annual message, that "a change in the
office of collector at one of our principal ports
has brought to light a defalcation of the gravest
character.” A speciul report exhibits a defol-
calion ofa million and a quarterf How wastlie
neglect to discover this fraud explained? Prin-
cipally by the allegation that the present law
was deficient in providing for an occasional ex-
amination of the books and accounts‘ of the col-
lector, and the President and Secretary gravely
recommended Congress to provide for examina-
tions in future? The great act regulating the
customs, passed in 1799, provides that the col-
lector and nai.'_zil ofiicer “shall at all times sub-
niittheir books, papers and accounts to the in-
spection ofsucli persons as may be appointed for
that purpose." Yet no such examination had
ever been madel
“Again, the naval officer of New York had
neglected his duty, in not examining the ac-
counts of the collector. The law expressly pro-
vides " that he shall examine the r,-,olle,ctor’s ab-
stract of duties. and other accounts of receipts,
bonds. and expenditures, and, iflound right, he
shall certify the same.”
" The auditor, says the naval oliicer, did give
the needful certificates, but that they are proved
to be false! Who was this naval otficer? Who
but Enos T. Throop, the personal friend of Mr.
Van Buren? And, who, after baviiig by design
or neglect sanctioned all these frauds, was last
spring sent as charge d’afIairs to Naples--in oth-
er words, instead of being disgraced. as he should
have been, was rewarded with a higher oflice,
and with it received the sum of $9000 forsalary
and outfit.
‘* But the President and Secretary said these
frauds took place during the time of the deposite
bank system. True— but the complaint is, not
that Swartwout deposited, but that he did riot
deposite the money in bank. The Secretary,
somewhere in his report, condemns the old de-
posite act of Congress, on the ground that it
placed the governnient in the situation of_a great
money lender. if ' " "‘ ‘ ‘ ' "'
Mr, Bond reap? the ryirctila," issued by l)I,'. Ta-
iiey. when he engaged lheslate banks to receive
the deposites. It is dated 26th September. 1833,
aad contains this passage:
“'The deposites of the public money will
enable you to alibrd increased facilities to com-
merce, and to extend your accommodations to
individuals. And as the duties payable to go-
verumeiit arise from the business and enterprise
of the merchants, it is but reasonable" that they
should be preferred in the additional accommo-
dation which tlie public deposites will enable
your insikutions to give, whenever it can be done
wiihotii injustice tothe claims of other classes of
the coinmuiiity.”
“With what face then can the Secretary talk
of Congress compellitig the government to be a
great money lender, with this evidence of the
counsels and course ofthe adminisrraliou before
his eyes 3"’
