M 0 i THE GAZETTE. By EDGAR SNOWDEN. _ POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. KW of the Majority. [concluded.] E. p. Johnson is the contractor for carrying the mail oh several routes in Indiana, number ed 11, 17, 19, 23, 21, 23, 27 and 41, from the 1st of January, 1830, to the 31st of December, 19$1, at a yearly compensation of $3,300.— There are no less than eighteen different modi fications and additions to this single contract, for which he receives in the aggregate yearly $14,502 18 in addition to what he received by contract—amounting in the four years to $58, 008 72; and all this private arrangement with out advertisement or competition. The nett amount of postages received in the State of Indiana, according to the report of the Postmaster General of/the 23th of February, 1831, was $9,609 67, falling short by $1,892 51 of paying the yearly extra allowance on this single contract. The increase of the postages during the continuance of the contract, will not, in all probability, bring up the receipts to a sum sufficient to discharge these extra allow ances in the four years by the nett proceeds of postages for the same four years in the whole State. E. P. Johnson, John Hutchins, Joseph H. Hough, William Henny, and J. G. Chiles, are s ated in the report of the Postmaster General of the 18th April, 1832, (Doc. 212, p. 22,) as contractors for carrying the mail from Maysville to Louisville daily; from Frankfort to Nashville three times a week; from Louisville to Nash ville six times a week; and from Lexington to Bean’s Station six times a week in four horse post coaches, at the annual compensation of «Q7 7R0 Your committee called for the bids pursuant J to which this contract was made, and they find those that are marked accepted as follows: 1731. From MaysviJle to LouisviiJe dai ly, in four horse post coaches, one hundred and forty miles; also, from Lexington to Frankfort, thirty miles —E. P. Johnson’s bid—(“ accepted and executed,”) $4,500 00 1710. From Frankfort, Kentucky, to Nashville, Tennosse, three times a week, in four horse post coaches, two hundred and six miles, Hough and Chiles, 1740 and 1741 improved,— (“accepted and executed,”) 7,080 00 1746. From Lexington to Bean’s Sta tion, one hundred seventy one miles, twice a week in four horse post coach es, J. G. Chiles— accepted and ex ecuted,”) 6,500 00 1742. From Louisville to Nashville, one hundred and seventy-four miles, in four horse post coaches six times a week, to Bowling Green, and the re mainder three times a week,* E. P. Johnson Co.—(** accepted and ex cuted,”) 4,500 00 Amounting in the whole to 2*2,580 00 Being less than the sum reported by the Post master General in his report of April ISth, 1832, by $15,ISO. Opposite the accepted bid on route 1742, from' Louisville to Nashville, is noted in red ink, to run alternate between Franklin and Russell ville, at pro rata allowance,” showing that one of the routes which he run from Bowlin? Green to Nashville, under this contract, passed through Russellville. 1743. And in I)oc. 212, p. 23, of April 18th, we find that John Gray receives on the route from Bowling Green to Nashville 2,980 00 And by the report of the 3d of March, 1831, Doc. 138, p. 218, he appears to have been allowed for running three additional trips fiom Bowling Green to Russellville, on the same route, 1,019 55 A mounting to $3,999 55 So it appears th it John Grey is paid three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars and fifty-five cents, for carrying the mail from Bowling Green to Nashville, on the same route on w'hich it is carried by E. P, Johnson Co., as above. James F. Robinson contracted to carry the mail daily in four hors^post coaches from Cin cinnati, Ohio, to Georgetown, Kentucky, se venty-two miles, in fourteen hours, at a yearly compensation of $1,090. His schedule was so changed that he w as required to run through in twelve hours instead of fourteen, making part of the trip in the n^ght, for which he was allowed the additional yearly compensation of $3,000. It is not perceived by your committee, that the change of a schedule was at all essen tial to the public interest One among the many contracts of Avery, Tompkins Co., and others, who are connect ed with them, and whose contracts are inter laced w ith theirs, is taken as a specimen of an other very large class of cases, a leading fea ture of which is complication and confusion. The annual report of the Postmaster General of the 25th of February, 1832, states, that F,. l'orter, James Reesidc, John H. Avery, Isaac Tompkins, D. A. Saltmarsh, Charles P. MalJetf, John McLean, and Sidnev Porter, are contrac tors on routes 1,901, 1,902, 1,903, 2,047, 2.101, 2,102, 2,104, 2,105.2,251, 2,255, 2,352, 2,353, in stages and steamboats, at $67,950 yearly. In the report of the 3d of March, 1S34, Ave ry, Tompkins Co., are stated to be contrac tors on routes No. 1.903 and 2,101, at a com pensation of $24,000, and they receive for di vers improvements on routes Nos. 1,903, 2,101, and 2,102, which are all included iu the grand aggregate of contracts above named, and also for improvements on 2,10/, which is not included in it, an extra allowance yearly of $13,500. Thus first grouping, and then dividing into i smaller groups, and eonfouning one group of contracts with another, until it becomes imprac ticable to trace and reduce to their elements their multiform transactions. A Per several other extras for improvements j w’hich result in daily mails, with increased ex-! pedition on these routes,, with an increased al- j lowance of $11,000 a year, there occurs this ex-} traordinary allowance: r running, besides a tri-weekly line in a four horse wagon, so as to exclude passengers and ensure the regular arrival of the mail dur ing the winter season,” they were alio w'ed, from December l, 1832, an additional compensation at the annual rare of twm thousand five hundred dollars; thus, alter paying these individuals a large compensation by contracts, for carrying the mail, and giving them further large extra allowances for carrying it, they are paid ‘two thousand five hundred dollars a year further extra, for carrying it in a wagon. In examining the proportions which the mo ney paid for the transportation of the mail bears I to the receipts for postages in particular dis tricts of country, and even in whole States, the disproportion is in some cases remarkable. The extra allowances of E. P. Johnson, on one single contract, as has been shown, con sume the whole revenue of Indiana. The extra allowances of contractors in Vir ginia, full short but three hundred and thirty five dollars of swallowing up the whole revenue received by the department in that State. In North Carolina the -extra allowances fall short of the nett receipts for postages six hun dred dollais. In Alabama the extra allowances are to the nett proceeds for postages as two to one. The whole nett proceeds of postages in Vir ginia, as appears by the Postmaster General’s report of the 28th of February, J831, was sev enty nine thousand two hundred and sixty-two dollars ninety one cents. The whole cost for transportation in that State by the contracts of October 1, 1831, and allowances and extra al lowances made to contractors, is $233,959 Falling short but $3,829 of three to one The whole nett receipts in Alabama were $22,673' The cost of transportation within it is reported at $157,566 Being something more than five to one. These estimates are subject to variation equal to the increase of postages in those States from January, 1330, until the contracts took effect, and the extra allowances were made. When i those corrections are made, the disproportion between the nett receipts for postages, and the j expenditures in those States, though lessened, will still be enormous. The law contemplates that on new routes, and consequently in new States, a considerable expenditure should be allowed over and above the amount of receipts; but even when the mo uey is fairly and judiciously applied for the ben efit of the public, there is a limit beyond which such expenditure is not permitted to pass with out the consent of Congress. By the 39th sec tion of the act of 1825, reducing into one the acts regulating the Post Office Department, it is provided that it shall be the duty of the Postmaster General to report annually to Con gress, every post route which shall not after the second year from its establishment have produ ced one-third of the expenses of carrying the m i 1 t hit enrni* If this provision of law had been attended to, the aggregate of the routes in Indiana, Illinois and Alabama, ought to have been reported as unproductive routes, and Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia, would but just have escaped it provisions. The expenditure in each of these last named States being more than double the amount of receipts. There a/e two States which lie side by side, nearly equal in population, extent of territory, and in the revenue which they yield to the de partment, which show’ a remarkable difference in the sums paid in each for the transportation of the mail. In Vermont there was received for postage, as appears bv the report of February 28,1831. nett $17,063 72 In New’ Hampshire 16,o3S 82 Difference in favor of Vermont, 1,324 90 There is paid for transportation in New Hampshire 33,818 96 In Vermont 23,208 66 Difference on the other side 15,610 30 Your committee find no good reason for this disproportion of expenditure in these two States. Mr. Jefferson, in his letter to Nathaniel Ma con of May 14th, 1801. says that41 a very early recommendation had been given to the Post master General to employ no printer, foreign er, or revolutionary tory, in any of his offices.” His reasons for the exclusion of the Printer from any connexion with (he Post Office De partment is obvious; and if we would preserve the press from corruption, and prevent it from exerting a corrupting influence over the com munity, that recommendation ought to be es teemed as a precept, and religiously observed in the present and in all future times. But this admonition has passed unnoticed, or is disre garded, by those who now conduct the affairs of this department. Large sums of money ap pear to have been expended in suet) a manner that its obvious tendency is to extend the influ ence of the department over the people. William Smith, whose extra allowance, as sta’ei in the Blue book, (pages 256 and 258) a mount to $11,129 a year, is the proprietor of an efficient party press in Culpeper county, Vir ginia. Horatio Hill, said to be the conductor of a violent party press in the State of New Hamp shire, is a contractor to carry the mail on no less than fifteen mail routes; and, instead of extra allowances, his contracts are noted in the margin, 44 with newspaper privilege.” which we understand to mean the privilege of carrying and distributing newspapers at pleasure on his mail routes. it__1 n__a ~__ _a_a r _ iui) ami ut;um;ii ci r; tuiin auui iui rally ing the mail from Bellefonte to Meadville, in the State of Pennsylvania, from the 1st of Jan uary, 1828, to 31st of December, 1S31. On the 5th of January, 1830, they obtained an extra allowance of $500 a year for increased expe dition, and it is said that Bennett thereupon purchased an opposition press in Meadville, and arrayed it at once on the side of the adminis tration. At the lettings in October, 1830, this route was advertised to run through in two days and seven hours. E. Platt and Co. bid for it at 1,9S0 dollars; Moore, Libo Co. at 2,450 dol lars, and Benjamin Bennet at “$350 pt. 525, 700” in broken bids, equal, it is believed, to $1,575, for the whole route. The bid of Ben iamin Bennett is marked accepted, and the ac ceptance erased, and that of J. B. Bennett (the owner of the press) is accepted at $3,500, through in two days. But the schedule which appears to have been made out atth&time of executing the contracts states that, on account of the unusual freshets and destruction of bridg es, and other material changes in the road since the 15th of Oct. 1S31, it is agreed to run the mail through in two days and a half each way, making live hours longer time than it was nxed at by the advertisement, and proposed for the other bidders. Supposing the bid of Ben jamin Bennett to be fictitious, or made by ar rangement, merely to enable the department the better to pass over the contract to J. B. Ben nett, theie is still a difference between the next lower and valid bid, and that at which it was struck off, $1,529 a cm, equal in four years to $6,0S0, which appears to be the extra expense incurred by the department to place this con tract in the hands of a newspaper editor. The “incidental expensescomprehending the secret service fund of the department, pre sent an interesting subject for consideration.— No law appropriates money for those expenses. Congress exercises no control over them. The Postmaster General, at his mere discretion, se lects the objects of his patronage, which lie dis penses from the revenue derived from posta ges, and is guided by that discretion alone in fixing the amount of that patronage. He may employ one printer and one travelling agent, or one hundred of each at his pleasure; and he may pay each of them as much as ke pleases. If, by the improper exercise of this and his oth er unrestrained power, the department' becomes bankrupt, then, by the construction which he bestows on the Constitution, he (not Congress alone) may borrow any amount of money, on the credit of the nation, to supply the deficiency. Subjoined is a statement of these incidental expenses from the year 1790. pre pared by a clerk, at the request of the com mittee, accompanied by a view of the contin gent expenses'' and of the sums appropriated by law for the salaries of the officers of the de partment, which must not be confounded with the incidental expenses.” By this the Senate will percive that, from a sum less than two thou sand dollars, these expenses, under former ad ministrations, gradually increased for many years, there being an average annual addition of about one thousand dollars. In 1829, they had swelled to the sum of 856,471, exceeding the sum expended in any former year; and in the year commencing July 1,1832,embracing the period of the last presidential election, they amounted to about $83,000, being a sudden in crease of near 820,000 over the corresponding expenditures of any former year. Of these expenses no detailed account is re quired to be rendered to. Congress—no report of various items which form their aggregate amount is published. The money to defray them constitute what may he emphatically cal led the. secret service fund. The fund commonly so called, which is placed in the hands of the President to defray the contingent expenses of foreign intercourse, is not so properly entitled to the designation. That fund is limited in its amount by the will of Congress, whose appro bation js requisite to its existence. I his fund is unlimited by aught but the will of him who uses it, and is as free fi om the control of law as if it were the treasure of an independent Go vernment. That fund is also limited by the acts of appropriation to a certain object. This hasjust so man}' objects as the Postmaster Ge neral may select. Whatever expenses he chooses to consider as incidental” to his de partment, he pays; and the only account which he renders for it is confined to a line in his an nual report, thus; “The incidental expenses for last year were 87,701 dollars.” The conse quence of this stateuf things is, that, while the select service fund in the hands of the Presi dent is 30.000 dollars, the fund expended dm* ing the current yeai by the Postmaster General for the incidental expenses” of his department has now increased, as appears by the estimate in his last annual report, to thrice that sum. At an early day of the session, one of your committee drew the attention of the Senate to this subject by a resolution calling for an ac-1 count of tiie.se expenses for the period inter vening between the 30th September, 1831, and the 30lh September, 1833. Months elapsed before any answer was given to the resolution, although, as will be seen by reference to the re port of the Postmaster General on this subject, hereto annexed, the whole ofit might have been transcribed from the post office books in one day. When, after repeated inquiries for this paper, it was at length for the first time, com municated to the Senate, it appeared in secret session, in company with another paper giving an account marked confidential On 1 lie last paper, over which the veil of secresy still hangs, your committee make no comment; but to the paper, on which the injunction of secre cy does not rest, they invhe the attention of the Senate. While examining this document, with a view to the correction of the abuses which it disclos ed, the attention of your committee was arrested by the extent of.official patronage to printers! which it developes, and the amount of that pa- i tronage ns exhibited in the Blue Book.” The reflation of Cougres, of the 14th July, 183?, di rected that there should be included in the next (present) edition of this book, a correct list of all'printers in any may employed by the depart- j ment or officer of the Government, within the period between the 30th of September, 1831. and the 30th September, 1S33, with the compensation V\-l IV M V M t The resolution of Congress, to enable the Se cretary of State to comply with it, enjoins it up on the “several heads of departments, direct ing or incurring the expense, to cause the lists, and the matter theceb}'required to be added,to be lodged in the Departmentof State.” The docu ument in the Blue Book (page 182, 3. 4,) entitled c; List of all printers employed by the Post Office DepartmeiP,between the 30th of September,1831, and the 30th of September, 1833, with the com pensation of each,” is Lite official paper furnished in obedience to this resolution, and is the first publication of any portion of the incidental ex peases that has ever been made in obedience to the requisitions of law. The object of the resolution was to interpose the check of public opinion, to arrest the abuse of official patronage to printers, no other check having been provided. To the end, also, that this patronage might not he abused, without de tection, by employing the owners oft! e press,! any other way than in printing, it provided, that the list to be furnished should embrace all prin ters in any way employed, with the compensa tion to each, no matter for what allowed. If a printer be a mail contractor, it wasdntendedby the resolution that the fact should appear. If any one of those who control the public press, enjoys for years a monopoly in supplying the department with articles to the great profit of the contractor, the fact was designed to be shown, in order that the public might judge of the extent and influence of the Executive patronage over the press so controlled; But so far from ac complishing this, or any other proper object of this part of the resolution, it has been the means of eliciting a report from the Post Office Depart ment precisely calculated to mislead the public in reference to the whole subject. On the list of printers in the Blue Book, True Greene, proprietors and printers of the Bos ton Statesman, are thus stated to be employed: True Greene, for printing blanks, 6,692 72 For advertising proposals, 206 50 Total compensation reported in the Blue ttook, 6,899 25 But the exhibit now made by the account of the department, hereto appended, shows that they have been employed during the whole time, (as the present Postmaster General had in fact for years before employed them,) in furnishing paper, printed blanks and twine, to the amount of 29,907 75 See the account of the following items: 1S22. January 25. True Greene’s compen sation for furnishing blanks, paper and twine, to various post offices in New York and else where, from 1st October to 31st December, 1831 inclusive _ 3,944 10 May 9. True Greene’s compensa sation for furnishing paper and twine, &c., from first of January to the 31st of March, 1832, inclusive, 2,144 35 Aug. 27. True Greene, do. for blanks, papers, and twine, from 30ih June, 1832, 2,824 10 Dec. 15. True Greene do. for blanks, paper, and twine, from 1st July to the 30th September 1832, 2,455 05 1833. March 23. True Greene, do. for blanks, paper, and twine, from 1st October, 1632, to 31st December, 1832, 2,1G4 85 April 23. True Greene, do. for blanks, paper, and twine, from 1st Octo ber, 1832, to 15th April, 1833, 3,727 23 July 24. True Greene, for paper, blanks, and twine, from 1st, October, 1832, to 30th September, 1333, 3,022,12 Oct. 16. True Greene, for blanks, paper, and twine, from 1st April to 1st October, 1833, 9,025 95 Real compensation, 29.907 76 So that the printers of “the Boston States man,” thus employed by the department, re ceived compensation for the articles which they were employed to furnish, within the period named in the resolution, exceeding by $23,003 50, the sums published by the department in the Blue Book. And from an accurate examination of the ori ginal vouchers for these payments to them, the following facts appear: First, that the real sum paid for “printed blanks,” (including the press work, type setting, and the paper, on which the blanks were actu ally printed.) was $16,453 25 And that the real sum paid for wrap ping paper and twine, was 13,444 50 29,907 75 So that the sum pjjid for the printed blanks alone exceeds the sums publish ed in the Blue Book by 9,564 00 Secondly. It appears that the only evidence upon which these large sums were paid is the certificate of Nathaniel Greene, the postmaster at Boston. He is the brother of Charles Greene,1 of the firm of True and Greene. He under takes to certify, in ail cases, that blanks, paper, and twine, were furnished to the various post masters “in New York and elsewhere” to the precise amount stated in all the vouchers. He is the same person who edited the Boston Statesman” before that press was transferred to its present proprietors; and, from the infor mation we have had, it appears to us that the postmaster himself was interested in it at the time of granting his certificates. This is but one of a class of cases presented by “the incidental expenses,” and we think it proper to remark that, profitable as such con tracts are, there is no competition admitted lor them; no advertisement or other notice invites other persons to enter the lists in'rivalry with the favored newspaper editor upon whom such compensation is to be bestowed. Established in a city where its patronage from other sources I than Executive favor was probably not very great, the press of “the Boston Statesman” ap pears by the vouchers and receipts to have been sustained in the year 1832, when the last Presi dential election occurred, by the employment of its proprietors in rendering services -to the amount of nearly sixteen thousand dollars, which was paid out of the revenues of this de partment. Ami now it also appears that Ilill and Barton, (printers of the New Hampshire Patriot) were allowed, during the same period when True and Greene were employed, 87,543 26 for “blanks, paper and twine,” of which 84, 233 83 was for printing blanks, though the sums appearing in tiie Blue Book, as paid to them, amount only to $1,494 36. Horatio Hill also had mail contracts for which he received $6,272, with newspaper privilege,” as we have seen; though the Blue Book does not notice the fact in the list of printers; and IIill and Abbott appear also on the list of mail con tractors, botli for Maine and New Hampshire, with Mill and Morse, T. S. Abbott Co., Hill and Crane, and Babbit and Hill. During the same period Shadrach Penn, who* is the printer and proprietor of the Louisville Public Advertiser, was employed to furnish blanks, paper, and twine, to the amount of 89, 566 36, although in the Blue Book his name ap pears on the list of printers ns in any way em ployed by the department only for the sum of $2,297 91. Other sums were paid within the same period to other persons, for paper and twine,”'amounting to 824,562 61. The sums allowed during these two years, as appears by the vouchers and accounts for printed blanks, paper and twine,-(not including the large sums paid to other editors for printing “mail propo Sills,”) amount to more than S7U.UUU. The account now exhibited by the depart ment shows that Francis P. Blair, editor of the Globe, received from the 30th of December, 1831, to the 26th of October, 1833, inclusive, the sum of $21,634 90. lie appears on the Blue Book for only $11,371 57. But as the depart ment. on the application of the committee, sent us only a part of the vouchers for this account, and deferred sending the rest until it is now too late to examine them in time for this report, we cannot say how far the official statement in the Register is correct or incorrect. The rates at which this printer is employed are enormous, and, in our opinion, are not to be justified by re ference to any thing which has occurred in the past history of this department. We herewith submit a specimen of the rates paid him for ad vertising; and accompanyingthesame is a state ment of the rates and sums allowed for printing advertisements in July, 1S30. The sum allow ed for printing these advertisements is, it will be seen, about four times the amount then paid for them. See the statements marked X. During the interesting period between the 1st of July and the 30th of December, 1S32, the “in cidental expenses” were S22.95S 07. Within that time $13,673 31 was paid for printing, to the editors and printers of newspapers, besides $5,166 15 for other articles by them supplied. Of the sum so paid to printers, Francis 1\ Blair received $8,3S6 50 for “printingproposals for car rying the mail from the 20th of July', 1832, to the 11th of October, 1832,” a period of two months and twenty-two days. The period immediate ly preceding the Presidential election was the time selected for paying from this department to this single editor about one hundred and sixteen dollars for every day his paper issued from the press. At the same time “the mail proposals” appeared not only in the city prints, and others havingextensive circulation in differ ent parts of the country, but in the most obscure country papers, some of which, having consum ed the aliment they fed on, have since perished for the want of it. We present a few exanples,and inquire what possible purpose,except that of sup porting a party press, while an excited political canvass was proceeding in the State of New York, were the following expenditures made. 1832. Mack Andrews, for publishing proposals for carrying the United States’ mail iu New Yuik, 31at Octo ber, 1S32 Bryan Lesph Co., for ditto in New v York, 10th September, IS32 4, James Stryker, for ditto in New York 29th November, 1832 James Wright, for publishing in “San- J 11 dy Hill Herald,” New York.proposals for carrying the mail in New York 12th July, till September, 1832. 4]., J( Si o* It will be seen by reference to the UcA,, J‘‘ now furnished by the department, that whi^T Globe weekly, semi-weekly, and daily “c publishing these very mail proposals” i]''.?4 whole Union; and while the Albany Argm ,r the Courier and Enquirer were publishiimn1'1 same for the State of New York, and tram T ting them to every part of the State from SvH a a bill could be expected, these four papers 1 of them scarcely circulating through county in the interior, and published trA three times a week, were kept up at an evn of $l.b36 35 for two months’ printing of A mail proposals for the whole State. pt)1. t| and other similar expenditures now brou] incidental expenses of Lis office. frc.m v. j.;v j infer that, by the direction of the departi he made these payments, and allowed thei i settlement for postages.

The Senate then went into Executive busi es; and, after the doors were opened, adj’d. House or Representatives, Friday, June 14. The Public Deposited—The resolution sub I fitted by Mr. J- Q.. ADAMS, far an inquiry in r,i the amount of stock held by the Presidents, rectors. Cashiers, Lawyers and solicitors, &c ,f those State Banks which had been selected the Secretary of the Treasury for the custo dy of the public treasure, with the amendment proposed thereto by Mr. POLK, to extend the inquiry into the idebtedness of the President antj Directors of the Bank of tiie United States and its branches, as well as into the indebted* tffij&of the lawyers and attorneys thereof; and also an amendment proposed by Mr. BEATY, ),nin2 up as the unfinished business— Mr. BEATY withdrew his amendment, call lAa for information whether the President or j Heads of the Departments kept their private funds in the United States Branch Bank at Wash j Injtoii. After which, The resolution was deb ited by Mr. J. Q,. ADAMS, Mr. POLK, and Mr. WAYNE, until the expiration of the hour far morning business: w 1JLII Mr. CLAY rose and called for the Orders of the Day: thereupon, Mr. MILLER moved a suspension of the rule, for the purpose of going on with, and disposing o{ the above resolution. The question on this motion having been put, it was negatived. The House then proceeded to the Orders of foe Day. Removal of the Deposile*.—The following oint resolution from the Senate couiuig up in it? order: Resolved, by the Senate and Haute of Hepre tentnlives of the United States of America, in Cmgress assembled, That the reasons, commu nicated by the Secretary of the Treasury in his ppirt to Congress of the 4'h of December. 1S33, for the removal of the Deposites of the money of the United States, from the Bank of the United States and its Branches, are insuffi cient and unsatisfactory. Mr. POLK rose and moved that it be laid on the table. Mr. WHITTLESEY, under the impression that the object of tue honorable member in sub mitting this motion, v. as for the purpose of pro ceeJing with the Appropriation bills, suggested that that object could be effected by the joint resolution being simply laid aside and taken up in its turn. Mr. POLK persisted with his motion to lay the resolution on the table. Mr. EVANS called for the reading. It was read accordingly; after which, Mr. CROCKETT rose and asked a call of the House. He proceeded to say that his col league (Mr. Polk) had been dodging round this question all the session, and now he asked that it be laid on the table. 1 had a hope, said Mr. C. that we had a chance to meet the ques tion fairly, and let members stand up to the rack and say to their constituents, that we have supported the Laws and Constitution. This question is to test that fact, and I hope to meet it upon its merits, and say to the country, by our votes, whether we have a Government or not Mr. 0. wa? called to order so repeatedly, that we could not hear distinctly what he said, as it was not a debateable case. .Mr. C. con i lu led oy asking for the Yeas and Nays on the fill, which were ordered; and the roll having been gone through, 211 members answered to iheir names and excuseshaving been made for some of the absent members— The House finally suspended further proceed ings on the call: Yeas 107, Nays 70. The question being on the motion of Mr. 1OLK Mi. WARREN R. DAVIS rose to ask the Honorable member from Tennessee, [Mr. Polk,] whether the object of his motion was to dispose of this subject finally, or merely to have.it laid on the table for the present? Mr. POLK declined answering. The ques «i *n before the House was not, he presumed, de iuteable; and it was for the House to say what he riaal disposition of the resolution should be. After a remark from Mr. FELDER— Mr. CHILTON said he rose to propound an inquiry to the honorable member. Mr. POLK said he must object to this: and »ose to a question of order, whether it was in wrier to propound inquiries on a question not debuteable? The SPEAKER intimated that, although the question was not debateable, the honorable mem ber had a right to propound an inquiry simply. Mr. CHILTON then made a few remarks; upon which, Mr. POLK rose in objection, and made a noint of order thereon. Upon which, Mr. DENNY rose, not, he said, to propound ail inquiry to the honorable member from Ten nessee, who appeared so sensitive, but to ask die Speaker whether, if a majority should now decide to lay the subject on the table, it was competent, during the rest of the session, for a majority to take it up again? The SPEAKER replying in the affirmative— The question on the motion was then put, and decided as follows: Yeas ill, Nays 101. So the said joint resolution was ordered to lie on the table. Restoration of the Deposites.—The following joint resolution from the Senate then coming up, viz: Unsolved, That all deposites of the money of tke U. States which may accrue or be received on and after the 1st day of July, 1S34, shall be made with the Bank of tho United States and its Branches, in conformity with the provisions j of the act, entitled an act to incorporate the subscribers to the Bank of the United States,” approved the 10th April, 1310,— Mr. POLK moved that this resolution also should be laid on the table. Mr. CHILTON called for the yeas and*nays; ^hich having been ordered, Hie question upon the motfon to lay it on the fable was then nut, and decided as follows: 118 to S3. 1 V So this resolution also was ordered to lie up on the table. The bill making appropriations for the pay ment of Indian Annuities was then taken lip, and, after debate, ordered to be engrossed; and the House adjourned. The two Resolutions which passed the Se nate a few days ago, the one declaring the Rea sons of the Secretary of the Treasury for the removal ofth public deposites from the Bank of the United States to be unsatisfactory and insufficient, and the other requiring the deposi tes of public money to be hereafter deposited in the Bank of the United States, yesterday came up in the House of Representatives, and were ordered to lie on tilt table, under circum stances which make it certain that they will not be acted upon in that body during the present session. It may be set down as certain, also, that no act will pass, at the present session of Con gress, for regulating the deposites in the local I Banks; it being obvious that those who believe that the deposites were removed contrary to law, cannot consistently afford any sanction to that measure by annexing legal conditions to it. The public money, therefore, will remain in the local banks, wherever it now is, or wher ever else it may be, until the next session of Con gress at least, tinless it should be the pleasure of the President of the United States, in the pleni tude of his omnipotential authority, to trans fer its custody elsewhere.

The Collect irshi;* of Sew Orleans.—Our read ers will recollect that the nomination of Martin Gordon to he Collector of the Port of New Or leans was some time ago rejected by the Senate. The vote upon that nomination is understood not to have been a party vote, but to have been influenced by ‘representations from New Or leans, from friends as well as opponents of the Administration. On the day following the rejection of this no mination, the President of the United States no minated to the Senate, for this office of Collec tor, Mr. Gordon, Junior, the Son of the late Col lector, and, it is believed, at present a Clerk in the Collector’s Office. That nomination is un derstood to have been taken up in tfye Execu tive sitting of the Senate on Thursday last, and rejected, as that of his father was, without a division; not probably on the groundson which his father’s nomination was rejected, but be cause of his youth, and consequent presumed want of character and experience sufficiently mature for so important and responsible a sta tion.— Silt. III!. A destructive, hail storm was experienced in the Shenandoah Valley on the 4th instant.— Some of the hail stones are declared to have measured live to six inches in circumference. The revolt of the students in Harvard Uni versity continues with unabated violence. The anonymous address of the students, heretofore spoken of has been published in the Boston Ga zette. It is brief, and imperfect, as a defence. It does not enter into the merits of the contro versy at all, but purporting to be a “statement ot facts,” is only a general complaint of the ad ministration of President Quincy, and express- es a harsh judgment upon his temper and qua lification for tlie station. There seems to be something political in the disturbances—at least the circular so intimates. It charges the Presi dent with expressing ill-will towards the South ern students, and desiring to exclude from the benefits of the college all but New Englanders. Another subject of grave complaint is the course of the faculty in having recourse to the civil power, and ordering criminal prosecution against the lads for their breach of college dis cipline. The address does not pretend to justify the disorders, nor complain of the laws of the in stitution, but is confined to severe animadver sions upon the manner and temper in which they have been enforced. Next week, it is expected a number of the students will be arraigned before the criminal court.— Balt. Amer.

r> Public Mtention! I* ^L'^tVT^hich^ve teen*te*ted by «fme. and .re auataiued by undoubted tedimony DR RELFE’S Botanical Drops! are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They have outlived many rival nreparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin ;.t.rPa for many years, as a thorough remedy for that wellkno wnand 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 ot Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, 9t. Anthony s Fire, Fever Sorea, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and ^IrTthe* la^mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drop* will be found to eradicate the lurk imr poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Relfe'a Botanical Drops are successfully used m 'tses 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 now ledge 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 bead of the whole class of such remedies. Price $1 a bottle, or 6 bottles for $5. WHITE TBJBTH1 AND HEALTHY ctUMS! THOSE who would retain or restore these desirable personal advantages, are assured that no compo sition can be obtained superior tc the BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE. This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for msny 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 ita application braces and strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural sweetness of the breath.

W Catarrh! fN that long train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; ytt his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier Stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption. Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms—oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri celled extremeties, and gener^J emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses non of the mental faculties, and while hope still whis- i pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre nature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one of the :nost approved remedies ever yet discovered is DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and j jtinocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid jures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mination of the disorder. As the Pills require in ordinary cases no confine .nent, they may be administered with confidence and safety to all ages and classed of people. Unexampled success has hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving -:he emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings Of accustomed health and ‘activity. Price $1 for whole boxes of 30 pills, and 50 cents for salf do. of 12 pills, with directions.

The proprietor’* confidence in the superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow erful preparation, is founded on the most derive tes timony from many restored patients. He can assure this portion of the public, that when _ DR.
