THE GAZETTE: By EDGAR SNOWDEN._ Terms. Daily paper S8 per annum Country paper 5 per annum The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, anc Saturday. All advertisements appear in both papers, anc are inserted at the usual rates. REPORT Of the Committee of the House of Representa fives, appointed to investigate the affairs oj the Bank of the United States. [concluded.] The purposes for which your committee wen appointed, are stated so distinctly in the resolu lion of the House, that they have experiencec no embarrassment in deciding on the characte of the duties imposed. They are required, 1st to ascertain, if practicable, the cause of the com inercial embarrassments and distress complain ed of by numerous citizens of the United States in sundry memorials which have been present ed to Congress at the present session, and whe ther the Bank has had any agency through it management, or money, in producing the exist ing pressure. 2d. To inquire whether the charter of th Bank of the United States has been violated, am what corruptions and abuses have existed in it management. 3d. To examine whether the Bank has use its corporate power or money to control th press—to interfere in politics, or influence elec tions. The powers designed to be conferred on th committee, if they could have been exercisec are adequate to the performance of the dutie enjoined; they were authorized to send for pej sons and papers; to summon and examine wii nesses on oath; to visit, if necessary, the prir cipal Bank and its branches; and to inspect th books, correspondence, accounts, and other pa pers connected with its management. Sue are the duties and powers of your committee conferred on them by the House with extraoi dinary unanimity, and which your committe felt bound to regard, as consistent with the chai tered rights of the corporators and their debl urs. Under a deep sense of respectful obedience t the decision of the House of Representative thus solemnly expressed, and feeling that the had no right to question its justice or propriety your committee proceeded to Philadelphia o the 22d April, to commence the performance c their duties. On the 23d of April, their Chairman address ed to the President of the Bank, a communic* tion, enclosing a copy of the resolution of tli House of Representatives, and notifying hii of the readiness of the Committee to visit tb Bank on the ensuing day, at any hour agree* ble to him. In reply, the President informe the Committee that the papers thus receive sbouid be submitted to the Board of Director at a special meeting to be called for that pu: pose. It appears, in the journal of the proceei ings of the Committee, herewith presented i the House, that this was done, and that tb Directors appointed a Committee of Seve of their Board, to receive the Committee the House of Representatives, and to offe for their inspection such books and papers c the Bank, as may be necessary to exhibit th proceedings of the. corporation, according t the requirement of the charter. In the letter John Sergeant, Esq. as Chairman of the Con mittee of Directors, communicating the prc ceedings of the Board, he says that he was d rected to inform the chairman of this commii tee, that the Committee of the Directors wi immediately direct the necessary arrangemenl to be made for the accommodation of the Con of the House of Representatives,” and would ai tend at the Bank to receive them the next daj at 11 o’clock. Your committee attended, an were received by the Committee of Directors. Up to this period, nothing had occurred t justify the belief that a disposition was felt, o the part of the managers of the Bank, to err barrass the proceedings of the committee, c have them conducted differently from those c the two preceding Committees of Investigate On assembling, however, the next morning, i the Bank, they found the room which had bee offered for their accommodation, pre-occupie by the Committee of the Board, with the Pn sident of the Bank, as an ex officio membe claiming the right to be present at the investigf anrl py^ mi nations of this com mittee. Th proceeding the committee were not prepared t expect. When the appointment of the Con mittee of Seven was first made, it was suppo* ed that that measure, however designed, wa not well calculated to facilitate the examinatioi The officers of the Bank were believed to b the most appropriate agents of the Board Directors to exhibit their books and paper By them the entries in the books are made, an by them, such entries are most readily explair ed. It is their duty, too, to be daily at the Banl insr house, and on that account they could aj sis! in the examination more readily than th Committee of Directors. These objections to the special agents of th Board, were felt and expvessed, but they wer waived, and no dispositi >n had been manifes ed or felt by your committee, to conduct th examination in any manner not entirely accef table to the Board. Under these circumstances, your committe did think that a decent respect for their righl and privileges, and much more for the dignit of that body from which all their powers wer derived, might have induced the Committee c Directors to forbear to make them feel an entir want of control over their own room. With previous determination to be present when thei books were to be inspected, they could hav waited to avow it until these books were calle for, and the attempt made to inspect them i their absence. These circumstances are no1 reviewed, because they then excited an appr the laws, and with a wise regard to the public r interest, is conceded to the judicial tribunals o both the Federal and State Governments, j The facts already stated, demonstrate that f 1 room could not be procured in the Bank for the use of the committee, without* concession no d to be recalled, which would have made youi committee dependent on the courtesy of the Directors of the Bank at every step of the in quiry, and the various communications receiv ed from the directors and their committee, an q nexed to this report, will fully, corroborate this ctatonipnt I’ Having failed to accomplish the object of pro curing the books of the Bank for inspection, a their committee room, your committee felt it tc be their duty to demand their submission for thai r purpose, at the Bank, of the President anc Cashier of the Bank, the usual and general a *j gents of the corporation. For that purpose, or the 5th day May, having apprised the commit tee of directors of their intention, at one o’clock they repaired to the Bank and then required the ’e President and Cashier, each of them respective ly, to produce certain of the books of the Bank e for inspection of the committee. This was re e fused by each of those officers, for reasons sta ted in writing, and to be found in the appendix e to this report. i- In this refusal, your committee believe there was a substantial violation of the Bank charter e and a contempt against the authority of the s House committed* y They are of opinion, that your committee e were under no obligation of right to recognise f any agent of the Bank other than those gene e rally known as such, and make their duty anc a right to inspect the books and depend on the r convenience or caprice of such deputation, e if such be the fact, then the examinations o d the Bank will in all cases, depend on the dispo n sition of the Directors to have their proceedings >v examined. Having been thus denied, by the officers o n ^an^’ an^ having been informed by the Di rectors, that they were not aware of having de jr clined to furnish a room for the exclusive use o ls ffie committee, your committee, sincerely desi rous to meet the wishes and directions of the House, believed it to be their duty to seek anoth er interview with the committee of Drectors and by arrangement, met the committee of Di of the Board, at the Bank,on the 7th day ol May 11 at an hour fixed by themselves. Your committee then and there, in writing required of the Committee of the Board fc produce to your commitee.for inspection, certair books and papers of the Bank, to enable youi committee to inquire into the truth of represen tations made by the Government Directors tc the President of the United States and to Con v gress; and to ascertain whether the Board ofDi h rectors had violated the charter of the Bank, b] authorizing the exercise of illegal powers by their committees or officers, and whether the Bank had any agency, through its management or money, in producing the present pressure, or has used its corporate power or money to con trol the press, to interfere in politics, or influ ence elections. Without giving a specific answer to these calls for books and papers, the committee of Di rectors presented a written communication, which was said to be indicative of the mode of proceeding deemed right by the Bank.” The committee of the Board in that commu nication, express the opinion, that the inquiry can only be rightfully extended to alleged vio lations of the Charter, and deny virtually the right of the House of Representatives to au thorize the inquiries required in the resolution. They also required of the Committe of Inves tigation, “when they asked for books and pa pers, to state specifically in writing, the purpo ses for which they are proposed to be inspect ed; and if it be to establish a violation of the charter, then to state specifically in writing,what are the alleged or supposed violations of char er, to which the evidence is alleged to be appli To this extraordinary requirement, made on the supposition that your committee were charg ed with the duty of crimination, or prosecution for criminal offence, and implying aright on the part of the Directors to determine for what purpose the inspection should be made, and what books or papers should be submitted to in spection, your committee replied, that they were not charged with the duty of criminating the Bank, its Directors, or others; but simply to in quire, amongst other things, whether any pro secution in legal form, should be instituted, and from the nature of their duties, and the instruc tions of the House of Representatives, they were not bound to state specifically in writing any charges against the Bank, or any special pur pose for which they required the production of the books and papers for inspection. A specific answer was requested to the calls which had been made. The Committee of the Board, after delibera tion, made a communication to your committee, in writing, in which they announced their pur pose to adhere to their resolution, and refused to submit the books and papers of the Bank, re quired by your committee to be produced for thpir insnection. These calls were made in the Bank, and in the presence of the Committee of the Board, and then and there a compliance with them was refused. Not feeling authorized to regard this unexpected and unequivocal refusal as the act of the Board of Directors, your committee sub mitted the proceedings of their committee to the Board, and they were by the Board fully approved and sanctioned.” In this act of refusal, which nothing that had occurred had prepared them to anticipate, your committee are of opinion, that the charter of the Bank was violated, and a contempt of the authority of the House of Representatives com mitted. Your committee, acting under the instruc tions of the House of Representatives, without power to modify or enlarge them, charged to inquire, and not authorized to accuse or to ar raign, except in their report to the House it self; armed with but the limited authority of a committee, unauthorized to punish, were neces sarily compelled to the conclusion, that, in the face of the obstructions already detailed, they could not efficiently prosecute the inquiries with which they were charged, without the aid of the power of the House of Representatives. Anxious, however, to perform their duty with out complaint to the House, and in conformity with the proceedings of the Committee of In vestigation of 1619 and 1832, your committee called on the Bank, in a series of resolutions, to furnish statements, and certain extracts and co pies from their books and papers, which in the opinion of your committee, were all intimately connected with their duties, and many of them indispensable to afford to the House of Repre sentatives the information which they had di rected your committee to obtain. The first of these was responded to by the Committee of Directors, and the information furnished. Though useful, it was comparative ly unimportant. The Board of Directors, after deliberation, refused to comply with the other calls, for rea sons which will be found in their resolution in the appendix, and which reasonsdeserves exam ination, as manifesting the deliberate purpose to the Directors to resist all attempts to exam ine into the proceedings of the corporation in the latitude required by your resolution. They say, that the Board of Directiors, do not feel themseives at liberty to comply with the re quirement of the Committee of Investigation, i because “part” of the copies called for “relate to matters over which the Board have no con trol.” _ i i i i _ i THIS reason li is piam, caunui uavcuuu iuuuu I weight in producing the decision of the Bank. If only apart of the information desired was I beyond the control of Board, that fact could have been stated, and this committee would have cheerfully received the residue. 2d. The Board say, they cannot comply, be cause it would be impossible for them to do so “within any reasonable time, having ascertain pun saidoo 9ip JBip ‘uOpBUllUBXO pija.IBO B Xq {pa statements called for by the resolutions of the 1 29th ultimo alone, would require the uninter rupted labor of two clerks tor at least ten months.” This reason, it is also fair to presume, could not have materially influenced the decision ol the Board. If, in truth, an entire compliance with all the resolutions would require great la bor, still that did not justify the refusal to com ply with any one of them. Besides, the whole objection could have been obviated by the em ployment of more clerks than two, the compen sation to whom, if paid either by the Bank or this committee, would have been well expended in gratifying the requirement of the House ol Representatives. 3d. The Board say they cannot “comply. inasmuch as in respect to a part of the papers 5 called for, the effect would be the same as the surrender of their books and papers to a secrcl f and ex parte examination.” Who can read this last reason for refusing, given by the Directors, and fail to perceive that f this committee is justified in declaring, that with out the aid of compulsory process, they cannol obey the directions of the House. If extracts from their own books, made by their own clerks will not be furnished, because they might be used to conduct an ex parte examination, whal benefit could this committee expect to derive bj access to the books themselves? Permission to take extracts for themselves could, and probably would, be denied for the i same reasons; .and a committee of the House, without power to compel obedience to its de mands, would have power to make no use of the books, which was not approved by the Direc tors themselves. And the House will be at nc loss to determine what latitude they would be willing to give their inquiries. And without au thentic extracts, such as were unhesitatingly furnished by the Bank to both the former Com mittees of Investigation, your committee could very imperfectly convey to the House the grounds of their conclusions, or the result ol their inspec tion and examination. In what condition, then, is your committee placed? The House have commanded them to inquire “what corruptions and abuses have ex isted in the management of the Bank,” whether it has used “its corporate power, or money, to interfere in politics, or influence elections.” To do this, they have attempted to use the on ly means that can, by possibility, enable them to fulfil this duty; and they are refused by the Directors access to those means which are in their custody, and which, by their charter, they are bound to furnish. Because, say they, the inquiry this committee has been charged to make, ‘‘can only be right fully extended to alledged violations of the char ter.” And even these violations of charter are not to be inquired of until the Board is furnish ed with “a specification of all the charges in tended to be inquired into.” Should supposed violations of charter be specifically charged, then the Directors are to decide whether the facts, if true as stated, would amount to techni cal violations of charter, and then, and not till then, will your committee be permitted to “pro ceed with them in order as stated.” It must be said, that these pretences, by'which the Bank would justify its bold disregard of the provisions of its charter, are, in themselves, derogatory to the dignity, and contemptuous to the authority, of the House, to which it in fact owes its being. The Committee believe, that these proceed ings of the Bank Directors, denying vital and essential powers to the two Houses of Congress, and asserting, in effect, a paramount and con trolling authority over both in executing a pow er, devised as a check upon the Bank itself, would justify a more extended comment. But confiding in the disposition of the House to main tain its own rights and dignity, and to sustain your committee in the faithful discharge of their duty, they present as a part of this report the various resolutions adopted by your committee, with those received from the agents of the Bank us an appendix, declaratory of the powers be lieved to be possessed, and the purposes of your a nm m Iftoo They believe that these resolutions will of themselves vindicate their conduct and proceed ings from all those imputations which are to be found in the various communications of the Di rectors, and their committee, and will serve to show that they have afforded no justification whatever for the extraordinary position ulti mately taken by the Committee of Directors and the Board. But that their determination not to permit any conduct of theirs not. involving breach of charter, to be investigated must have been entertained long before it was made known to your committee—and that it was not commu nicated until every other means of preventing the examination had proved unavailing. But for this conduct, which your committee cannot regard as distinguished by frankness and can dor, the absence of your committee, from their duties in the House would have been of much shorter continuance. Believing they had now exhausted in their ef forts to execute the duty devolved upon them, all reasonable means depending solely upon the provisions of the Bank charter, to obtain the in spection of the books of this corporation, your Committee were at last reluctantly compelled to resort to the subpoenas which had been fur nished to them under the seal of this House, and attested by its Clerk. They, thereb3r, on the 9th inst. directed the Marshal of the Eastern Dis trict of Pennsylvania to summon Nicholas Bid dle, President, and thirteen other persons, Di rectors of the Bank, to attend at their Commit tee-room, on the next day, at 12 o’clock, at noon, to testify1' concerning the matters of which your Committee were authorized to inquire, and to bring with them certain books therein named for inspection. The Marshal served the sum mons in due form of law, and at the time ap pointed, the persons therein named appeared before the Committee and presented a written communication signed by each of them, as the answer of each to the requirements of the sub poena (which is in the appendix to this report.) In this paper the}” declare “that the)' do not produce the books required, because they are not in the custod3r ofeither of us, but as has here tofore been stated,of the Board,” and add, “con sidering that as corporators and Directors, we are parties to the proceeding—we do not consi der ourselves bound to testify, and therefore re spectfully decline to do so.” Your committee will not dwell long to answer these technical excuses for this contempt of the lawful mandate of the House. They are to be found at large in the written document above referred to. Most of them, it is believed, have been already satisfactorily answered. The two i __ _• _r_ii. _j. i_a l_ nuvei CAUuscs iiuiem an iui in, ^auuui uiu uc condemned as insufficient. The first is founded o a very refined distinction between the power of the Directors as persons and as corporators. The same persons have and have not power to submit the books. As corporators, the custody of the books is in them; but as individuals, al though collectively assembled, the same books are not under their control. Thus, by an atte nuated technicality, the lawful authority of the House is to be defied. If, in one room of the Bank, they must be esteemed as individual citizens,” who may lawfully disregard a subpoe na duces tecum,because they have not the books demanded—if, in another room of the same house, by a transmigration not known to Heathen philosophy, their identity is gone; they have become mere ideaT creatures, on which not even a subpoena ad testificandum can be served. To make this excuse still more ex traordinary, let it be remembered that seven ol the gentlemen by whom it is offered hud been appointed by the Board of Directors to exhibit the books of the Bank for inspection, and ol course must have had the right to that exclusive possession for that purpose. The reason assigned for the refusal to be sworn is parallel with that which has just been considered—that, as corporators and Directors, they are parties to the proceedings of the House, and therefore not bound to give testimony, ii is a humane rule to be found in the criminal law, which declares that no man shall be com pelled to criminate himself, and one which this committee would be unwilling, under any cir cumstances, to deny; but your committee are not aware of any principle of evidence which will excuse a person for refusing to give testi mony, simply because it may subject him to a civil action. There are provisions in the Bank charter, making the Directors liable to a civil suit if pro ved to have participated in certain transactions therein mentioned. But it ought not to be sup posed that any thing can be found on the books of the Bank that would subject the Directors tc a criminal prosecution. Even if the latter sup position be not entirely without foundation, still it is insisted that a witness called on to testify, must do so, unless the Court or. other tribunal before which he appears, shall adjudge that he is interested. That question the witness can be permitted to decide for himself others*0 evidence might be withheld without good c-ii As to the supposition that the Directors or If’ corporation under their control, are to be c l, sidered parties to the inquest this committee w directed to institute, it has already been answ^ ed in this report, and needs no further reply the inquest had been prosecuted, and had sat tied Congress or the President that a scire cias ought to issue, then, and not till then conn the Bank Directors become parties to the U ceeding, and under that principle, attempt** conceal transactions known only to themself and even then their books might be used as dence against them. Justice requires us to i that the Directors, while they protested again our right to examine them, declared they no knowledge, which, if a necessary rea'a,,/1! their duty and the rights of others permp.. they would not willingly expose without resetv'. Under such circumstances, it is to be regretov that they have not imitated the courseof Directors of 1819 and 1832, by waiving supposed technical rights, and inviting an imp strained examination of their proceedings, gy conduct could not but have gained public app-, bation; audit is humbly conceived, could v have been reasonably objected to by any p, sons having business with the institution. If sue had been the course of the Directors, the cor! mittee hope to be pardoned for saying their purpose to have endeavored to ha' 3 formed the duties which had been enjoined thoroughly, impartially, and with a rigid adhe> ence to the immutable principles of Vmh justice. Thus, your committee conclude, thejusi oow er and authority of the House of Represent tives have been set at naught, defied, and ten! temned. Thus, the charter of the Bank of the Unitt States lias been deliberately violated, by repeat ed refusals of the Directors of that corporat:500, in the Virginia Monongalia Lottery, Cla sold to a gentleman of this place.

Alexandria. AnESDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1634. hicKennan’8 Speech.—We have received, a read with great satisfaction, the Speech of Hon. Thomas H. T. McKennan of Pa. de v red in the House of Representatives, on the Aand 29th ult., on the subject of the Bank and Removal of the Deposites. It is a clear, and able argument, and well worth the attentive pe Mjsal of all candid men. Mr. McKennan is one if the ablest, and most independent of the rep ^entatives from Pennsylvania, and we rejoice t thc noble stand he has taken at the present rjsi5 in our affairs. His constituents have a ^an to represent them in the Capitol who is eve |ry way worthy of their confidence and suport. one deserves more at their hands than Mr. njc£ennan. Mr. McDuffie has been invited to public din iei's at Warrenton and at Lynchburg. His health is such, that he has been compelled to de cjixxe the invitations._ Mr. Ruffin’s Farmers Register is now print ed at Shell Banks, his residence. We have re ceived the May number, which is, as usual, full of excellent agricultural matter. T ie Richmond Enquirer backs out from the ..protest and opinion” found among Mr. Jeffer ?jq’s papers, and discovers that Mr. J. has giv en a wrong opinion, and that it will not pin its faith upon~Mr. J. sleeve,” &c. O! the Enquirer! Fredericksburg and Alexandria.—The Gene ral Assembly of Virginia, at its last session a dopted a resolution authorizing the Board of Public Works to engage the services of an able and experienced engineer, to examine the coun try between the towns of Fredericksburg and Alexandria, with a view to the construction ot a McAdamized road or turnpike, or gravel road between those towns, and report to the General Assembly his opinion as to the probable cost and nf imnrovement. uu The Richmond Compiler says:—££ We are grat ified to learn that the Board of Public Works have been enabled to engage the services of Mr. Moncure Robinson to carry into effect this resolution. The citizens of Fredericksburg will perceive in this projected improvement an ad ditional motive for making a handsome sub scription to the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railway. A good road between Alexandria and Fredericksburg, will give to the main nor thern and southern route a decided advantage over the bay steamboats during that portion of the year in which the navigation of the James and Patapsco, as well as of the Potomac, is in terrupted by the ice.” Flowers of Melody.—We ask the attention ol thepublic to an excellent collection of American, English, Scottish, and Irish Songs, in two neat volumes, under the above title, which, for judici ous selection and variety, in the sentimental, pa thetic, humorous, and social, stands probably unsurpassed. Considerable interest is added to the work by biographical sketches of the authors, and anecdotes illustrative of the songs. The work itselfcontains sufficient recommen lation to the lovers of social harmony; but, when it is known that the compiler, Mr. John Graham, sometimes called the Scottish Poet, (and auther of several songs in the collection, also,) some years ago, while in New York, lost his sight, by which he was rendered unable to follow his usual occupation, and now depends on his publication for the support of himselfand family, an additional inducement, it is believed, is offered lor the support of the benevolent. Mr Graham is now in this town, offering the work for sale, and, independent of his poems ap pears to be a deserving object ol public liber I Our colums are so crowded to-day, that we cannot offer the specimens of Mr Graham’s poe try which we intended to present, and which would recommend him to every body, and es Specially to every true Scotchman. Potke Editor of the Alexandria Gazette. Washington, May 24, 1834. Sir:—My attention has been drawn to a com munication signed A Marylander,” which ap peared in your paper of the 9th instant. 1 he Writer has fallen into an error, in point of fact, which it is but an act of self-respect for me to c°rrect. He undertakes to impute to me the manufacturing a speech on paper, which he did not deliver in the House.” And in proof, offers certain inferences of his own, deduced the Rules of the House, and the omission the reporters to give my remarks. The his °ry of this session might have satisfied the wri ’er,that the 46th Rule had, by the acquiescence ^the House, been suspended in regard to a par cular class of memorials; for few of this class *tre presented, which were not debatedThe ^porters in the House have not published one ‘^nth of what has been said upon distress’: Memorials, during this session. The remarks, "published, are substantially those which ac• mpanied the presentation of the memorial from Prince George's County. They never would ave appeared in print, but to resist the charge /being an attack upon my constituents, for •eh‘ audacity in instructing me,” made through : VV/UIU Company; make a fair offer, and bring such re port of their character and means to perform as would satisfy the Board, I thought such offer would succeed. I reasoned for the Board ac cording to my perceptions of its duty to you; some others had very different ideas of that du ty. I was particularly desirous also to have a contract formed, to put at rest the belief of ma ny persons interested, that the Board really in tended to proceed by days’ work; and, I con fess, the assurance given by Mr. Mason, that it was not intended to keep the Aqueduct work under direction of our Engineer, never did re move my distrust on that subject. About the middle of April, 1833, Win. Le Baron presented an offer for himself, Burke and Dearmond; the two latter were expected the next day; Mr. Ma son and Mr. Hunter were appointed to confer with the Company. Burke and Dearmond came not as expected. The Board met, daily I think, to receive a report of our Committee. Le Ba ron was, 1 understood, disconcerted by the ab sence of his friends, and desired to return for them; wishing first to be on certainty of not lo sing his time and charges, he asked the Board to say if his offer would be accepted, provided he returned within a given time, with satisfacto ry assurance of capacity to perform the con tract. Such, to my recollection, was the sub stance of his request to the Board. During the uncertainty of Burke and Dearmond’s arrival, remarks had been made at the Board respect ing the parties offering. Mr. Mason expressed himself to this effect, and nearly, if not positive ly, in these words, viz: Le Baron acknowledg ed to me that he owes ten thousand dollars, and he wants public work to enabled him to pay it.” Whether the whole sentence, or only the ad mission of debt, were Le Baron’s words, and the means of payment a suggestion of Mr. Mason’s, he best knows; as to that latter part. 1 certainly truly state Mr. Mason’s words. No thing was then said of any property, or other means of Le Baron’s to pay that debt. As a man of business, the representation of Mr. Ma son conveyed to me, distinctly, to the idea of Le Baron’s insolvency. I had such different report of Mr. Le Baron’s situation that I thought personal feelings had too much influence in Mr. Mason’s representations; I fully believe so now. i Thp Board seemed indisnosed to assent to Le i Baron’s request. I differed therefrom. The 1 offer, I think,—my recollection may not be ex I act, as I did not note the amount,—came out about $400 or $500 more than we had agreed to give Martineau Bargy for the same work, at a season more favorable for us to conclude such bargain. Consistent to my repeated de claration that improvement of time was more important to us than to sacrifice it for the un certain saving of a little money, I would not, in the urgency of the case, suffer the petty sum of $500 to stop our proceedings. Neither would 1 object to the allowance of a few days to i bring up his company (I think it was, or I limited the time to seven days). Now look to the time, unlimited, given by the Board to Martineau for the same purpose. Who was consistent and i just? the Board or I? This is the case, it now appears, on which Mr. Mason founds his charge of corruption. He might have employed his time to better effect for those who paid him. I Burke Dearmond arrived before Le Baron i left the District. They had been detained by I want of seats, the Western stages being full. Their offer was again before the Board, with their general character of ability to perform. Upon a proposition of Mr. Hunter to give them the contract upon the same terms granted to Martineau Bargy, the yeas and nays were taken at my request. Mr. Hunter, one of our Committee, Mr. Brockett and myself, said yea. Mr. Smith, Mr. Janney and Mr. Miller, nay. Mr. Mason rejected it by his casting vote; by which, I do believe, he did more injury to our interests than ever, now, can be repaired. I saw Le Baron before he left the District: his disappointment was great—more for his friends than himself; their loss of time and expenses he attributed, through prejudice against him, to the determination of the Board against any con tract wherein he was concerned. I repelled that idea; defended the Board upon the neces sity of caution as to the capacity of contractors to perform their agreements; charged the re fusal of their offer, mainly, to the want of such papers as I had desired his friend to say I con sidered necessary, viz: certificates of respecta ble professional men, as to the company’s abi lity to perform the stipulated woik; and othei respectable men as to their means and stand ing in society. 1 also charged his alleged intemperate expres sions to Mr. Mason, (which were repeated on ah occasions to his prejudice at the Board) as ano ther cause of his disappointment. I never spoke one word to him disrespectful of any member of the Board; at that time he^vas, before we parted, so sensible of his own error, and so wil ling to do justice to the Board, notwithstanding he had heard of its supposed ill disposition to wards him, that he left Washington with the in tention to renew his offer, accompanied by such evidence of his ability, property, and repute, as I had recommended. That offer, and the cer tificates I heretofore published, came. How that plain, fair offer, the Board evaded fairly to meet; and how it was shifted aside, to wait the effect of a cabal then in operation, by a parliamenta ry stratagem, not surpassed by any quirk of the kind in the Capitol at Washington, I shall soon expose to you.

The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for many years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate disease which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and generally appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St. Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foal and Ob stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, whe-e mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Relfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors. A physician of eminence, who had witnessed the ef ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth-powders in common use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury, The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel. As its application braces and strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign __ 1.- __ nrMMves the natural HU;il'ilUI«'.IUII3 MV1H sweetness of the breath.
