President: I feel, sir, the magnitude of this question. We are coming to a vote which cannot fail to produce important effects on the character of the Senate, and the character of the Government. Unhappily, sir, the Senate finds itself involv ed in a controversy with the President of the United States—a man, who has rendered most distinguished services to his country; has hi therto possessed a degree of popular favor, per haps never excelled; and whose honesty of mo tive, and integrity of purpose, are still main tained by those who admit that his Administra tion has fallen into lamentable errors. On some of the interesting questions, in re gard to which the President and Senate hold opposite opinions, the more popular branch of the Legislature concurs with the Executive. It is not to be concealed that.the Senate is engag ed against imposing odds. It can sustain it self only by its own prudence and the justice of its cause. It has no patronage by which to se cure friends; it can raise up no advocates through the dispensation of favors, for it has no favors to dispense. Its very constitution, as a body, whose members are elected for a long term, is capable of being rendered obnoxious, and is daily made subject of opprobrious re mark. It is already denounced as indepen dent of the People, and aristocratic. Nor is it, like the other House, powerful in its numbers; not being, like that, so large as that its members come constantly in direct and sympathetic con tact with the whole People. Under these disad vantages, sir, which, we may be assured, will be pressed and urged to the utmost length, there is but one course for us. The Senate must stand on its rendered reasons. It must put forth the grounds of its proceedings, and it must then rely on the intelligence and patriotism of the People to carry it through the contest. As an individual member of the Senate, it gives me great pain to be engaged in such contiict with the Executive Government. The occurrences of the last session are fresh in all our recollections; and, having felt it to be my duty, at that time, to give my cordial support to highly important measures of the Administra tion, l ardently hoped that nothing might occur to place me, a^erwards, in an attitude of oppo sition. In all respects, and in every way, it would have been far more agreeable to me to have found nothing in the measures of the Exe cutive Government which I could not cheerfully support. The present occasion of difference has not been sought or made by me. It is thrust upon me, in opposition to strong opinions and wishes, on my part not concealed. The interference with the public deposites dispelled all hope of continued concurrence with the Ad ministration; and was a measure so uncalled tor, so unnecessarv, and, in my judgment, so il legal and indefensible, that, with whatever re luctance tt might be opposed, opposition was unavoidable. The paper before us has grown out of the consequences of this interference. It is a pa per which cannot be treated with indifference. The doctrines which it advances, the circum stances which have attended its transmission to the Senate, and the manner in which the Se nate may now dispose of it, will form a memo rable era in the history of the Government. We are either to enter it on our journals, as sent to its sentiments, and submit to its rebuke; or we must answer it, with the respect due to the Chief Magistrate, but with such animad versions on its doctrines as they deserve, and with the firmness imposed upon us by our pub lic duties. Now, sir, the President wishes the world to understand that he himself decided on the ques tion of the removal of the deposites; that he took the whole responsibility of the measure upon himself; that he wished it to be consider ed his own act; that he not only himself decided that the thing should be done, but that he regu lated its details also, and named the day for carrying it into effect. I have always entertained a very erroneous view of the partition of powers, and of the true nature of official responsibility under our Con stitution, if this be not a plain case of the as sumption of power. The Legislature had fixed a place, by law, for the keeping of the public money. They had, at the same time, and by the same law, created and conferred a power of removal, to be exercised contingently. This power they had vested it: the Secretary, by express words. The law did not say that the deposites should be made in the Bank unless the President should order otherwise; but it did say that they should be made there unless the Secretary of the Trea sury should order other icise. I put it to the plain sense and common candor of all men, whether the discretion which was thus to be exercised over the subject was not the Secretary’s own personal discretion; and whether, therefore, the interposition of the authority of another, act ing directly and conclusively on the subject, deciding the whole question, even in its particu lars and details, be not an assumption of pow er? The Senate regarded this interposition as an encroachment, by the Executive, on other branches of the Government; as an interference with the legislative disposition of the public treasure. It was strongly and forcibly urged, yesterday, by the honorable member from South Carolina, that the frue and only mode of pre serving any balance of power, in mixed gov ernments, is to keen an exact balance. This is very true, and to this end encroachment «nust be resisted at the first step. The question is, therefore, whether, upon the true principles of the Constitution, this exercise of power by the President can be justified. Whether the con sequences be prejudicial or not, if there be an illegal exercise of power, it is to be resisted in the proper manner. Even if no harm or in convenience result from transgressing the boundary, the intrusion is not to be suffered to pass unnoticed. Every encroachment, great or small, is important enough to awaken the at tention of those who are entrusted with the pre servation of a constitutional Government. We are not to lit till great public mischiefs come: till the Government is overthrown; or liberty it self put in extreme jeopardy. We should not j be worthy sons of our fathers, were wc so to regard great questions affecting the general freedom. Those fathers accomplished the Revolution on a strict question of principle.— The Parliament of Great Britain asserted a right to tax the colonies in all cases whatsoever, and it was precisely on this question that they made the Revolution turn. The amount of tax ation was trifling, but the claim itself was in consistent with liberty, and that was, in their eyes, enough. It was against the recital of an act of Parliament, rather than against any suf fering under its enactments, that they took up arms. They went to war against a preamble. They fought seven years against a declaration. They poured out their treasures and their blood like water, in a contest, in opposition to an as sertion, which those less sagacious, and not so well schooled in the principles of civil liberty, would have regarded as barren phraseology, or mere parade of words. They saw, in the claim of the British Parliament, a seminal principle of mischief, the germ of unjust power: they de tected it, draggedlt forth from underneath its plausible disguises; struck at it; nor did it elude either their steady eye, or their well-directed blow, till they had extirpated and destroyed it, to the smallest fibre. On this question of prin ciple, while actual suffering was yet afar off, they raised their flag against a Power to which, for purposes of foreign conquest and subjuga j tion, Rome, in the height of her glory, is not to be compared; a Power which has dotted over the surface of the whole globe with her posses sions and military posts, whose morning drum beat, following the sun, and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth daily with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England.
j It is vain that the protest attempts to shift I the resolution on to the judicial character of the Senate. The case is too plain for such an ar gument to be plausible. But in order to lay some foundation for it, the protest, as I have already said, contends that neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives can express its opinions on the conduct of the President, except in some form connected with impeach ment; so that, if the power of impeachment did nut lUvot ia.wcfov.v-j uivu^H presentative bodies, though one of them be filled by the immediate representatives of the people, though they be constituted like other popular and representative bodies, could not litter a syllable, although they saw the Executive ei ther trampling on their own rights and privile ges, or grasping at absolute authority and do minion over the liberties of the country! Sir, I hardly know how to speak of such claims of impunity for Executive encroachment. I am amazed that any American citizen should draw' up a paper containing such lofty pretensions; pretensions, which would have been met with scorn in England, at any time since the Revo lution of 1088. A man who should stand up, in either House of the British Parliament, to maintain that the House could not, by vote or resolution, maintain its own rights and privile ges, would make even the tory benches hang Their heads for very shame. There w7as, indeed, a time when such proceedings were not allowed. Some of the kings of the Stuart race would not tolerate them. A signal instance of royal dis pleasure with the proceedings of Parliament, occurred in the latter part of the reign of James the First. The House of Commons had spo ken, on some occasion, 11 of its own undoubted rights ttnd privileges.” The King thereupon sent them a letter, declaring, that he would not allow that they had any undoubted rights; but that what they enjoyed they might still hold by his own royal grace and permission. Sir Edward Coke and Mr. Granville were not satisfied with this title to their privileges; and, under their lead, the House entered on its journals a reso lution, asserting its privileges, as its oxen un doubted right, and manifesting a determination to maintain them as such. This, says the histo rian, so enraged his majesty, that he sent for the journal, had it brought into the council, and there, in the presence of his lords and great of ficers of state, tore out the offensive resolution, with his own royal band. He then dissolved Parliament, and sent its most refractory mem bers to the Tower. I have no fear, certainly, sir, that this English example will be followed, on this occasion, to its full extent: nor would I insinuate that any thing outrageous has been thought of, or intended, except outrageous pre tensions; but such pretensions 1 must impute to the author of this protest, whoever that author is. When this and the other House shall lose the freedom of speech and debate; when they shall surrender the rights of publicly and freely can vassing all important measures of the Execu tive; when they shall not be allowed to main tain their own authority and their own privile ges by vote, declaration, or resolution, they will then be no longer free representatives of a free people,blit slaves themselves, and fit instruments to make slaves of others. The protest, Mr. President, concedes what it doubtless regards as a liberal right of discus sion to the people themselves. But its lan guage, even in acknowledging this right of the people to discuss the conduct of their servants, is qualified and peculiar. The free people of the United States, it declares, have an undoubted right to discuss the official conduct of the Presi dent, in such language and form as they may think proper, subject only to the restraints of truth and justice.” But, then, who is to be judge of this treth and justice? Are the People to judge for themselves, or are others to judge for them? The Protest is here speaking of political rights, and not moral rights; and if restraints are imposed on political rights, it must follow, of couse, that others are to decide, whenever the case arises, whether these restraints have been violated. It is strange that, the writer of the Protest did not perceive that, by using this lan guage, he was pushing the Presideut into a di rect avowal of the doctrines of 1789. The text of the Protest, and the text of the obnoxious act of that year, are nearly identical. But, sir, if the People have a right to discuss the official conduct of the Executive, so have their representatives. We have been taught to regard a representative of the People as a sen tinel on the watch-tower of liberty. Is he to be blind, though visible danger approaches? Is he to be deaf though sounds of peril fill the air? Is he to be dumb, while a thousand duties impel him to raise the cry of alarm? Is he not, rather, to catch the lowest whisper which breathes inten tion or purpose of encroachment on the public libei ties, and to give his voice breath and ut terance at the first appearance of danger? Is not his eye to traverse the whole horizon, with the keen and eager vision of an unhooded hawk, detecting, tin ough all disguises, every enemy ad- i vancing, in any foiin, towards the citadel which he guards? Sir, this watchfulness for public liber- i ty, this duty of foreseeing danger and proclaim ing it, this promptitude and boldness in resist- ing attacks on the Constitution from any quar- ter, this defence of established landmarks, this fearless resistance of whatever would trans- j cend or remove them, all belong to the repre- j sentativc character, are interwoven with its ve ry nature, and of which it cannot be deprived, without converting an active, intelligent, faith ful airent of the People, into an unresisting and passive instrumeht of powei. A lepresentative body which gives up these rights and duties, give's itself up. It is a representative body no longer. It has broken the tie between itself and its constituents, and henceforth is fit only to be regarded as an inert, self-sacrificed mass, from which all appropriate principle of vitality has departed forever.
The first object of a free people is the preser vation of their liberty; and liberty is only to be preserved by maintaining constitutional les traints and just divisions of polificai power. Nothing is more deceptive or more dangerous than the pretence of a desire to simplify govern ment. The simplest governments are despo tisms; the next simplest, limited monarchies; but all republics, all governments of law, must impose numerous limitations and qualifications of authority, and give many positive and ma ny qualified rights. In other words, they must be subject to rule and regulation. This is the very essence of free political institutions. The spirit of liberty is, indeed, a fearless spirit; but it is also a sharp-sighted spirit; it is% cautious, sagacious,discriminating,far-seeinggintellience; it is jealous of encroachment, jealous of pow er Jealous of man. It demands checks, it seeks for guards, it insists on securities; it entrenches itself behind strong defences, and fortifies, with all possible care, against the assaults of am bition and passion. -It does not trust the amia ble weaknesses of human nuture, and therefore it will not permit power to overstep its prescib ed limits, though benevolence, good intent, and patriotic purpose, come along with it. Neither does it satisfy itself with flashy and temporary resistance to illegal authority. Far otherwise. It seeks for duration and permanence. It looks before and after, and, building on the experi ence of ages which are past, it labors diligently for the benefit of ages to come. This is the na ture of constitutional liberty; and this is our li berty, if we will rightly understand and pre serve it. Every free government is necessari ly complicated, because all such governments establish restraints, as well on the power of government itself, as on that of individuals. It we will abolish the distinction of branches, and have but one branch; if we will abolish jury tri als, and leave all to the judge; if we will then ordain that the legislator shall himself be that judge; and if we will place the executive power in the same hands—we may readily simplify go vernment. We may easily bring it to the sim plest of all possible forms, a pure despotism. But a separation of departments, so far as practica ble, and the preservation of clear lines of divi sion between them, is the fundamental idea in the creation of all our constitutions; and, doubt less, the continuance of regulated liberty de pends on maintaining these boundaries.
But, sir, there is, in this paper, something even yet more strange than these extraordinary claims of power. There is, sir, a strong dispo sition, running through the whole protest, to re present the*Exccutive Department of this Go vernment, as the peculiar protector of the pub lic liberty, the chief security on which the peo ple are to rely against the encroachments of other branches of the Government. Nothing can be more manifest than this purpose. To this end the protest spreads out the President’s official oath, reciting all its words in a formal quotation; and yet the oath of members of Con gress is exactly equivalent. The President is to swear that he will preserve, protect, and de fend the constutionj” and members of Con gress are to swear that they will support the constitution.” There are more words in one oath than the other, but the sense is precisely the same. Why, then, this reference to his offi cial oath, and this ostentatious quotation of it? Would the'writer of the protest argue that the oath itself is any grant of power; or that, be cause the President is to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution,” he is, therefore, to use what means he pleases, or any means, for such preservation, protection, and defence, ex cept those which the constitution and laws have specifically given him? Such an argument would be preposterous; but if the oath be not cited for this preposterous purpose, with what desiern is it thus displayed on the face of the protest, unless it be to support the general idea that the maintenance of the constitution and the preservation of the public liberties are es pecially confided to the safe discretion, the sure moderation, the paternal guardianship, of executive power? The oath of the President contains three words, all of equal import; that is, that he will preserve, protect, and defend the constitution. The oath of members ot Con gress is expressed in a shorter phrase; it is, that they will support the constitution. If there be any difference in the meaning of the two oaths, I cannot discern it, and yet the protest solemn ly and formally argues thus: The duty of de fending, so far as in him lies the integrity of the constitution, would, indeed, have resulted from the very nature*of his office; but, by expressing it in the official oath or affirmation, which in this respect differs from that of every other functionary, the founders of our republic have attested their sense of its importance, and have given to it a peculiar solemnity and force.” Sir, I deny the proposition, and 1 dispute the proof. I deny that the duty of defending the in tegrity of the constitution, is, in any peculiar sense confided to the President; and I deny that words of his oath furnish any argument to make good that proposition Be pleased, sir, to re member, against whom it is that the President holds it his peculiar duty to defend the integri ty of the constitution. It is not against exter nal force; it is not against a foreign foe; no such thing; but it is against the Representatives of the People and the Representatives of the States. It is against these, that the founders of our re public have imposed on him the duty of defend ing the integrity of the constitution; a duty, he says, of the importance of which they have at tested their sense, and to which they have given peculiar solemnity and force, by expressing it in his official oath! Let us pause, sir, and consider this most strange proposition. The President is the Chief Execu tive Magistrate. He is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, nominates all persons’to Dffice, claims a right to remove at will, and to control all while yet in office, dispenses all fa vors, and wields the whole patronage of the Go vernment. And the proposition is, that the du :y of defending the integrity of the constitution against the Representatives of the States, and against the Representatives of the People, re mits to him from the nature of his office; and hat that the founders of our Republic have giv m to this duty, thus confided to him peculiar solemnity and force! Mr. President, the contest, for ages, has been o rescue liberty from the grasp of executive lower. Whoever has engaged in her sacred jause, from the days of the downfall of those jreat aristocracies, which had stood between ;he King and the People, to the time of our own independence, lias struggled for the accomplish- ment of that single object. On the long list of the champions of human freedom there is not one name dimmed by the reproach of advocat- ing the extension of executive authority; on the contrary, the uniform and steady purpose of all such champions has been to limit and restrain it. To this end the spirit of liberty, growing more and more enlightened, and more and more vigorous from age to age, has been battering, for centuries, against the solid butments of the feudal system. To this end, all that could be gained from the imprudence, snatched from the J weakness, or wrung from the necessities of f crowned heads, has been carefully gathered up, 1 j secured, and hoarded as the rich treasures, the j very jewels of liberty. To this end, popular and representative right has kept up its warfare 1 against prerogative, with various success; some- j times writing the history of a whole age in blood, sometimes witnessing the martyrdom of Sidneys and Russells; often baffled and repulsed, but still gaining, on the whole, and holding what j it gained with a grasp which nothing but the 1 complete extinction of its own being could com- j pel it to relinquish. At length, the great con quest over executive power in the leading west- J ern States of Europe has been accomplished.— 1 The feudal system, like other stupendous fabrics of past ages, is known only by the rubbish which it has left behind it. Crowned heads have been compelled to submit to the restraints of law; and the people,-with that intelligence and that spirit which make their voice resistless, have been able to say to prerogative, Thus far shalt thou come, and no farther.” I need hardly say, sir, that into the full enjoyment of all which Europe has reached only through such slow and pain ful steps, we sprang at once, by the declaration of independence, and by the establishment of free representative Governments; Governments, borrowing moreorless from the modelsof other free States, but strengthened, secured, improved i in their symmetry, and deepened in their foun dation, by those great men of our own coun try, whose names will be as familiar to future times as if they were written on the arch of the sky. Through all this history of the contest for li berty, executive power has been regarded as a lion which must be caged. So far from being the object of enlightened popular trust, so far lrom being considered the natural protector ot popular right, it has been dreaded, uniformly, always dreaded, as the great source of its dan ger. I And now, sir, who is he, so ignorant of the history of liberty, at home and abroad; who is be, yet dwelling, in his contemplations, among the principles and dogmas of the middle ages; who is he, from whose bosom all original infu sion of American spirit has become so entirely evaporated and exhaled, as that he shall put in to the mouth of the President of the United States the doctrine that the defence of liberty naturally results to executive power, and is its peculiar duty Who is he, that, generous and confiding towards power where it is most dan- 1 gerous, and jealous only of those who can re* strain it; who is he, that, reversing the order of the State, and up-heaving the base, would poise the pyramid of the political system upon its apex; who is he, that, overlooking with contempt 1 I the guardianship of the representatives of the people, and with equal contempt, the higher guardianship of the people themselves; who is lie, that declares to us, through the President’s 1 lips, that the security for freedom rests in execu tive authority? Who is he that belies the blood and libels the fame of his own ancestors, by j i declaring that they, with solemnity of form, and force of manner, have invoked the executive i power to come to the protection of liberty?— Who is he that thus charges them with the insa- j nity, or the recklessness, of putting the lamb be- i neath the lion’s paw? No, sir. No, sir. Our security is in our watchfulness of executive pow- cr. It was the constitution of this department J which was infinitely the most difficult part in the great work of creating our present Govern ment. To give to the executive department such power as should not render it dangerous; to j make it efficient, independent, and strong, and j yet to prevent it from sweeping away every thing by its union of military and civil authori ty, by the influence of patronage, and office, and favor: this, indeed, was difficult. They who had the work to do saw the difficulty, and we see it; and if we would maintain our system, we shall act wisely to that end, by preserving every restraint and every guard which the Con- 1 stitution has provided. And when we, and those j nnmp u 11c hnvrwlnrp .-ill that ran do, and all that they can do, it will be well for us and for them, if some popular Executive, by the i power of patronage and party, and the power, j too, of that very popularity, shall not hereafter c prove an over match tor all other branches of the Government. j l DR A IfS THIS DA j Grand Consolidated Lottery, Class 11 for 1834, :i To be drawn at Wilmington, Tuesday, June 10 HIGHEST PRIZE $20,000. 75 Capital Prizes of 81,000! 20 do of 8300! &c Tickets 85 00; halves 2 50; quarters 1 25 1 Sold, in great variety of lucky numbers, by JOS. fLAKKR, {Sign of the Flag of Scarlet and Gold,) King st.

I have been very much pleased to see the ex lensive circulation that has been given to the proceedings of the Whigs of Alexandria in the newspapers throughout the country. And I am sure no more than justice has been done to the brilliancy of the Festival, which, take it all in all, was one of the most excellent and best con ducted public fetes I ever attended. Those wko were present, and muted in the festivities of the joyful occasion, will not soon forget the feast of reason and the flow of soul” at that happy board; the unanimity and harmony that marked the proceedings; and the propriety which pre 7ailed during the whole celebration. The citi zens of Alexandria did themselves honor on the occasion. It is not likely that their celebration will be surpassed, in true enjoyment, by any si milar one that may take place in any part of the United States. Besides, you Alexandrians have the honor of leading the van in this exhibition of public spirit, which, in itself, is creditable to your place; and, though others may make a greater show, and have larger numbers, no where else can there be exhibited more genuine good feeling, hospitality, and ardent patriotism. 1 have been drawn into these remarks by see ing, as I have before stated, the notice of the proceedings at the Alexandria A\ hig Celebra tion extensively copied into the public newspa pers, far and near. And I am rejoiced that this happened, because I am anxious that the plea sure I experienced at being present at the Festi val should be shared by every' one else, in some legree, at least, by reading an account of what the company and guests enjoyed in person. One who was present. Washington, Junt 7, 1834. [communicated.] MR. SUTHERLAND, OF PENNSYLVANIA. I had often heard this gentleman most favor bly spoken of, and felt anxious to hear him speak on the floor of the House of Representa tives—and, in this, was fully gratified to-day. The subject of debate was upon a bill for the relief of the City of Washington, in which ma ny members took an active part, particularly Mr. Mercer, of Virginia, who was most im pressive and perspicuous, although forced into the debate without preparation: then came Mr. Sutherland—and a better speech I have seldom listened to before:—his views of the subject were truly noble and enlarged; and he displayed a strength and compass of thought, a clearness of conception, a vigor of mind, and a manner so truly felicitous, that it could not tail to excite the best, the loftiest, and the most ennobling feelings of the soul. Were I to judge of the strength of the House, from what I heard yesterday and to-day in de bate, I should say,that it has never been surpass ed; and, most assuredly, the people of the Dis trict owe a debt of gratitude to the Committee on the District which they can never repay: yet I trust that they will, at least, endeavor to me rit the maxim, “Bonis quod benefit, haud pe Auditor. Saturday, June 7. The Races The great contest between the North and South, over the Union Couise, came off yesterday; and was won, without an effort, by the favorite of the South and of the nation, Col. Johnson's Trifle. In announcing this re sult, it is due to Shark and Alice Grey to say, that neither of them were in order. But as it is, ^he South are victorious, and should pride them selves upon possessing such a nag as Trifle. The horses were placed as follows: Trifle 11 Shark 23 Alice Grey 32 Time— 1st Heat 7m. 57s. 2d Heat 8m. 7s. More than jS/fy thousand persons were on the course, and/ we are happy to record, a great number of ladies added to the pleasure of the scene by their presence.—N. Y. Cour. The following account of this race we copy from the New York Evening Star, and is given with the characteristic humor of the Editor of that paper: The Races—North against South.—I have not been to a horse race since the great contest be tween Eclipse and Henry, on which the fate of nations seemed to depend by the intense inte rest created, and don’t attend such sports un less something peculiarly attractive is in the wind. But hearing a continued buz of North against South—encountering a host of strange faces in Broadway, and a number of tall, g^«d looking, middle aged men with drab hats, broad brims, and top boots, looking very much like the inhabitants south of Mason and Dixon’s line, I apprehended, as they say north, that something of great consequence was under con sideration. So, hitching the little mare to the green wagon, I started alone for the race course; but thought of stopping for my friend Hale, of the Journal oF'Commerce—but recollected in time that he had some scruples of conscience on these subjects; so I whipped up for Williams burg ferry, and crossed with perfect ease and comfort. I recommend that ferry, but I own no stock in it; men’s motives now-a-days are always suspicious. The road is excellent; and the view from the hills about two miles from Williamsburg superb—embracing the entire pa norama of the city. The weather was clear, cool, and delightful; and the crowds of car riages, omnibuses, gigs, curricles, and horses, looked like an invading army. The flags on the race course were floating gayly in the wind; the oyster stands were numerous beyond exam ple; turtle soup and cold cuts were distributing in the Pavilion; here and there a roly-poly ta ble, and now then the rattle of the dice box was heard on tables along the road. I was glad that Mr. Hale was not with me—-it would have shocked his morality. There were two or three handsome equipages containing ladies and gentlemen of color. Altogether the scene was quite animating. About ten minutes after one o’clock—I like to be particular as to time—the bugle sounded to bring up the horses; the little rideis, three smart looking boys, paraded in front of the starting pavilon, to hear orders and listen to the established rules—having previously been wpicrhprl Thp narrs wprp thpn hrnnorht fnrth sleek, smooth, and shining—Trifle, Shark, and Alice Grey. I took a stroll among the knowing ones to hear how bets were going on, and found in a few moments that our southern friends were wide awake. Trifle was the general fa vorite, and bets were freely taken as Shark maintained a high reputation also; but when the field was gleaned, bets where then offered Trifle against the field; which was an offer too tempting not to take. So our northern friends opened their wallets freely, and the safety fund notes circulated in abundance. By the tap of the drum the horses started per fectly fair; the rider of Alice Gray in scarlet, of Shark in navy blue, and of Trifle a finely form ed lad and a superior rider, in sky blue silk jacket. Shark took the lead, Trifle followed close, Alice no great distance behind—all seem ed to hold in hard. The second mile Shark still ahead—odds rather in favor of Shark; a Johnny Raw near me, one hundred dollars on Shark.” I take,” says a tall, quiet man, next to me. thrusting a cut of old Virginia in his mouth. The stakes were held by a neigh bor. On the third mile Trifle shot ahead of Shark with perfect ease, and kept ahead, co ming in the winner, and in no way distressed.— Time, 7m. 57s. Stocks rose considerably on Trifle, and in a half hour the nags were ready for a second heat. Alice Gray led off and kept ahead, showing that she was a clever creature; on the third round Trifle, with great ease, passed them all, and won the purse, Shark appearing dis tressed, and to my mind rather ill. The racing was good; Shark and Trifle are both fine nags, but on‘the whole, the affair was much inferior in character and interest to the great Eclipse race. We learn that Mr. P.

r IMPORTANT FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. The Test Oath” annulled. Yesterday evening’s Southern mail brings us the intelligence that the Court of Appeals of South Carolina has declared what is called the Test Oath,” in that State, to be unconstitu tional, null and void.” Columbia, S. C., June 2, 1834, Half past 10—In Court. To the Editor of the Southern Patriot: Dear Sir: O’Neale has announced his opin ion that the Test Oath is unconstitutional, and is giving his reasons. He says that the Court are unanimous that the Convention exceeded its power in defining allegiance, and declaring it to be due exclusively to the State, as it was called for a specific purpose and could not ex tend its action to any other. 11 O’Clock.—Judge Johnson is now deliver ing his opinion. He declares that the Test Oath is contrary to the State Constitution, and void. How Harper’s opinion may read, I cannot learn, till the departure of the mail. I am, respectfully, yours.” This decision has given great joy to the Uni on party. The Charleston Courier says: “In giving vent to our own overflowing joy on this grateful occasion, let us hope that our opponents also will rejoice in the removal of this obstacle to the restoration of harmony in our distracted State—to the return of that era of good feelings, which will again unite us in the bonds of social, if not political brotherhood. It is high time that alienated affections should re turn to their wonted, but long deserted channels —that the rankling wounds of the social and even the family circle should be healed, and that party warfare, if it must still be waged, should at least be henceforth characterized by the cour tesies and charities of life. We hope then that A. 1 1 -X 11. *1 1 i I 1 uui uppuiieuib win iiuL umy ue lecuncneu iu me response of the Judiciary in our favor, but will even hail it as a fitting occasion for forgiving, if not forgetting, the strifes and animosities of the past; and the more so, as in the most material particular, if not wholly, the distinguished judge on the Appeal Bench, who advocates their pecu liar political creed, has concurred in the opinion of his brethren.” The Southern Patriot says: It is now to be hoped that this decision will appease the spirit of party—that coming with healing on its wings, it will prove a medicament to the distemperature of the public mind. We indulge in no tone of exultant rejoicing on the occasion, happy if the vexed question, with all its bitter accompaniments, shall descend to the tomb of the Capulets, there to remain forever, buried in undisturbed oblivion.” Amen! So mote it be!

CONGRESS. _ In the Senate, yesterday, the whole day was occupied with reading a Report, presented by Mr. Ewing, from the Post Office Committee, on the affairs of the Post Office, and a Counter Re port, offered by Mr. Grundy, on behalf of the minority of the Committee. Mr. Ewing’s Report exposes a degree of corruption and rottenness which will astonish the nation. Nothing like it, we are assured, has ever before been seen in this country; and Mr. Grundy’s attempt to explain away the mat ter, is only making darkness visible.” The Senate agreed to the resolution from tl e House, fixing the 30th of this month as the day of adjournment, without opposition.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by V. HERRTUjS’S, near Frederick town% Maryland. TUichuoso, Va- July 15, 1830. HE public will be pleased to understand that I was the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same? but, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken oui a pa- j Cent thereon. N. SHEPhrrd. (E7‘ Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud. t kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in his letters patent, now o call the Ointment after his own name, Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had in several instances, experienced its good effects, I qent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply It, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process ne vertheless. it might be progated in this adl{^rated 8i tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the ortgi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted. Under these considerations, I aecureu4ne origi nal and certain remedr for tho.e ob.tmate disease., some of which have so long baffled thesaih ofm dical science: 1st White swellings of every description! 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrua or glandular tumors, particularlytbose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcciated cancers; 4th Felons; or what som? people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or partsaffected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. j For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel ling9, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand in*. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious or rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, incretse the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours. CERTIFICATES. From the Flon. John Cache, Member of the House of Re presentatives in Congress. Washington, March 22, 1825. Sir—My son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians jvithin my reach without success, 1 at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac companying the Ointment, and state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health ever since. I have no doubt that to the Ointment alone he is indebted; for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment. Respectfully, Jobit Cockb. Dr. Wm. Gunton, Washington City. From L P. XV. Batch, Esq Counsellor at Law, Frede rick, Md Fiudeuick, Md. May 6,1831. Mr. C Herstons—X deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the putflic, that, several years since, two of my children were affected with scald head of an inve- j terate character. My family physician, Dr. John T. Wilson, of Leesburg, Va. who was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every meana to effect a cure. At length Judkins* Ointment was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, vnur obedient servant, L. 1*. W- Ualcu. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress, dated Washington, January 22, 1829. Sin—It liasbeen my wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which 1 have used the Ointment invented by a Hr. Judkir.3, and which now understand is made and sold by agents appointed by yourself, I have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in everv instance. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whatit may; and I have found nothing so good for wounds of 3ny description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians as in curable, and whichth decided would, withoutampu tation, prove fatalto thepatient, was, under my imme (Jlflie nonce, euecicu uy me use ui .>uue.iuo wmiiucm, and the patient is in fine health- Uislimb affected by the tumor being restored to a perfectatate of sound ness. h Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more than two years, had been considered incurable, was ef fectually cured by the application of Judkins’ Oint ment. I mention these two cases, which fell under my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy ofthis remedy in cases of tumor andofulcers: I have expe.ienced, as decidedly, the good effect ofthis remedy in the. cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound. It seems to tne that any one who wll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect. I can with the utmostconfidence recommend the use ofthis valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully, Johs Taliaferro. N.

JUST received, a fresh supply of the above useful Medicine, direct from Dr. Lee's Dispensary 12th mo 30th, 1833. W. STABLER. The following extract is published by Dr. Lee’s au thority, viz;— Extract of a letter, written by a very respectable gen tleman, residing in Baltimore, to the subscriber, who deems it his duty, though unauthorized, to lay it be fore the public, withholding the writer’s name, for particular reference, should any require it person ally. SAM. H. P- LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn, Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that have used your New London Bdious Hills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa» ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely 1 use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; i and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- f ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you !1 had made your fortune, and abandoned their marmfac- 1 ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this 1 impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of I yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your 1 WRITTEN, SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, a and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other t respact. Finding those 1 had without this test, I be- t fan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apotlie :aries for your pills, with your written signature. I bund many without this teat, but none with it, until I :ame to the Messrs. Keerte*, who assured me they had 1 hem direct from you. I procured a box, and on using J hem, found the same effects from them I had always b sxperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my -1 s lelfin poiaeftaioii of a medicine t *o highly prize, that» that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this 1 information. _. qTo avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if only the printed name n affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided. S. H. P- LEE, New London, Conn. Dec. 1823.__ HYGEIANISM. rfIHE following testimonials of the superior efficacy 1 Kof the HYGBIAN MEDICINES in the cure of our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:— Bkown University, Pec, 25, 1833i To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hvgeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Uhode Island. Sin—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a brief statement of h cure, which, I fhink, l received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the same the more cheerfully; because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly un ler stood, l state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room ftbout one sveek, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining my health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health, I found myself bleeding at the lungs, I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four davs; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap petite, and withal, very weak. A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check tiie progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. But reLpse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus, months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke m the Inngs, after which 1 spat blood, one day. 1 continued to decline two months longer, when I obtained the Hvireian Medicines. 1 had now been unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a half. My feet were cold and lifele-.s, sleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough, Sic. &c. Such was ray condition, when 1 first became acquainted with the Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten clays, my appetite became good, and food produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all disappeared. I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, l took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored to health. After I commenced the flyg.-ian, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, was able to resume my studies in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease Hitherto I have been convalescent; and if my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain l have less pains, and am more free from temporary sicknessj than at any time since my earliest recollec tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LtfVE. Dn M. SnEiuisAgn Moat. Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her >s on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not ait -up for upwards of three years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and I have no objection to this case being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H. DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 183*1 In justice to Dr. M., her medical adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended perseverence in the uae of he medicines. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the moat tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asant and benign in it-i operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the tear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess. Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them has already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, because they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious raenieme to take to sea; preventing scurvy, cosfiveness, &c, The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day; mixed in half a wine glass of water. The genuine Medicines can be had of WM. POMEROY, Alexandria, Sole Agent for the Dittrict of Columbia and its vicinity. By whom the Pills are sold in packets of one, two, ind three dollars each, and the Powders at 37$ cents ^erbox, with printed directions; and also by the fob owing Sub-Agents: it. W. Polkinhorn, between 9th ind 10th streets, Pennsylvania Avenue; John Stillins, 'Javy Yard, Washington; and Thomas C. Wright, Georgetown; of whom alone can the Medicines be varrunted genuine.
