Tucker moved that ths Hou«e concur In the XMaenduaeat eta the ground that il it he amended it would pet it in the power of the Senate to fix a yet more die- tant day. Mr. Ramsay moved to postpone the consideration of tbs amendment for a week. Mr. Dwight hoped the Houae would attempt to pro- ear# an adjournment by the 26th, as the Senate was ebilgssl to set so a court of impeachment on tho 25th, and an earlier day was impracticable. He moved for tbe present to lay the resolution on the table; hut the motion was negatived by yeas and naya—ayes, 62, uoes 13t. Mr. B. then requested Mr. Ramsay to withdraw his priviiegod motion, ao as to allow an attempt to amend the amendment, so as te fix the adjournment on the 2*th instant. Mr. Tucker moved ths previous question; but it was Mt seconded by a majority. A coos'derable discussion took plsce on the various prmtions, in which Messrs. Thompson of Georgia, Siorrs •f N. Y. Johnson of Ky.. Spencer of N. Y., Craig of Ve. Doddridge, Mallary, Bates, and Drayton took part. Fiaally, the last named gentleman moved again the previous question, which was secooded, carried, and tha main question, on concurring in the Senate's amendment, decided by yeas and nsys, in tha affirms* tlva—Yeas 125, Nays 63. Sa the two Houses have agreed to close the present aeesion on Monday, the 3l«f. inafanf. Tho bills received from the Senate were twice read •ad referred.

Me. Lumpkin waa entitled to the floor, but he aaid, considering the circumstances under which he obtain- ed M yesterday, he felt it his duly to resign it to Mr. Bell, who had not finished his remarks. Mr. Bell then rose, and, after acknowledging the courtesy of the gentleman from Georgia, proceeded with the argument which he commenced yesterday, and addressed the committee about five hour* on tbe various questions presented by tbe bill, and unconnect- ed with our Indian relations. When be concluded, On motion of Mr. Siorrs of New Vork, the commit- tee rose. The Speaker communicated to the House a letter from tbe Secretary of War, tran-mittiug the proceed lags of the Court Marjial in the trial of Adjutant G-ner al Jones, in obedience to a rerolution of the House; which were ordered to be printed, and Tbe House adjourned. (From tho U.8. Telegraph.) THE LIEUTENANT AGAIN. find in the New York Courier, of the 10th in»'. the following letter: Washinotow City, > Thursday, May 6, 1830—2 P. M. S I arrived here jt 11 o’clock, hiving taking the 5 o’- clock atage from Baltimore, with a view of being here in time to inflict upon Duff Green, on hi* arrival at the capitol, the personal chastisement whicli I promised him, and which he so richly merited. I reached the capitol at about half past eleven, and having ascertained that he was not in either House ol Congress, took up iny position in the Uotundo, selected tint as the theatre of his digrace, and not, as he on a former occasion, locted a committee-room of the Senate, when he pulled tho nose of an assistant editor of the-- This be- ing the day on which an interesting race was to be con- tested on the Washington course, many of the mem- bers were leaving the House, and those who knew me were naturally attracted by my position. They at once »w my object, and urgently recommended me to se- lect some other place to punish Green. I complied with their wishes, and determined to punish him in front of the building. I accordingly repaired to the Library, which, as you well know, commands a view of the ap- proach to the capitol by the Pennsylvania Avenue, and leisurely waited for the arrival of Green. At about one o'clock I saw him enter the gate opposite the west front, and immediately left the Library to meet him, previous to his entrance into the building, and thereby avoid the charge of assaulting, within the capitol, an officer of Congress. On my arrival at the loot of the stairs, how- ever, (Green hail passed the wide brick walk in front of the door, and was entering the building) I immediately exclaimed—“well met—I was seeking you!” He re- treated backwards a few paces which carried him some distance from the door, drawing at the eame time, from the right hand pocket of his pantaloon*, a pistol, shout eight inches long, with percussion lock and half cap, and having a mahogany slock. Hi* retreat, drawing ol the pistol, and it* being rocked and levelled it at me were the work of a moment, and owing to my distance from him, when he discovered pie, I could not close with and disarm him. After looking at him in silence for some seconds, I placed under my arm the walking cane whieh I used, and leaning acainst the south jamb of the door, addressed him in the following terms, which are still fresh in my recollection:— “You poor, contemptible, cowardly puppy, do you not feel that you are a coward, and that every drop of blond that couraes through your veins,!*of the’same kind of hue a* your complexion.’ There you stand, secur'd from punishment by a weapon which you dare not u«e, and virtually proclaiming that you only prestme to assail private character, because you tl ink it will not add to your infamy by being known as an assailant! Contempti- b'e. and degraded as you are, throw aside your pistol, and I pledge you my honor a* a gentleman, I will not injure you, I will throw away my cane, and only pull your no*e and box your card” He refused do so, alleging that he would never de- scend to my level. He then requested me to proceed end let him pas*. I told him that I would not, hut that ha should pas* me as I then stood, or stand and hear me ahuse him. He did rot dare to pass, fearing that I would take the pistol from him. After some moments, however, I told him I would return up stairs, and pro- tlatin to every member of Congress his rowardly con- duct. accordingly proceeded to the House of Rep- resentatives, where I related all that had passed, and from thence hastened to commit it to paper, while the expressions f used to him are still fresh in my memo- ry. I have already, and will again prove him a wilful and malarious slanderer. He new stands branded a* a cow ard. Can he remain where he is? No. He is a dis- grace to the station he fills,and mint sink in'o the obliv- ion from which he was accidentally brought forth. JAS. WATSON WEBB. Remarks.—On the 5th in*t. I was informed, by a friend in New York, that Mr. Webb would he here on he flth, for the purpose of carrying into execution a threat of “personal chastisement.” I armed myself with a pocket pistol; and, as usual, after arranging my morning business, proceeded to the capilol. At Gads- by's I saw Mr. Hamilton of the City of New York, who told me that Weld) had arrived, and I understood him to say that he was, at that time, in the tavern. After con- versing with hi n a few minute*, I passed on to the Capi- tol, supposing that Webb was at Gadsby's. (ft seems, bowevor, that lie was oo the look out, and saw mo ap- proaching.) Just as [ was entering (lie West front over the terrace, he met mo, arid raising his cane, planted himself in the door way. I halted and drew my pistol He then said, “throw away your pistol, and I will give you a damned whipping.” To this I replied, “I do not rnoan lo be whipped by you; nor will I put myself in a position to invite attack from you.” He then said,“Are You not a coward to draw a pistol on an unarmed man?” I replied “I have no time to waste with you—so you n is! march out of inv path.” lie said, “1 will not.” I old him “you shall;" and then, for the first time, cork- ed and presented the pistol. The spring is strong, and nade a distinct noise, which caused Webb to spring faek against the North (and not, a* he says, the South) jamb of the door. He said, “I’ll go bock." “Very well,” said I, “go backward or forward as you like —hut march out of my path,” He then ran up the flight of steps, and when near the top looked back over his shoulder. When I entered the rotundo he was out ot view. When I entered the House he was giving his version to Judge Wayne. Such is a correct statement of this affair. The speech which Mr. Webb gives I* a fancy sketch. The pistol, which he represents to be eight inches long, is four inches in the barrel; Its mahogany was once good A- merican walnut. He says that I asked him to let me pass him; and that he said that I should stand and hear him abuse,me but forgets to manufacture a speech for the occasion, although he‘»ay* that we stood some moment* in that position. The truth is as I have stated. Hi* abuse and hi* bravado ceased with the cocking of the pistol; and f am much gratified that it did. As it was. I held bis life in my hand—I gave it to him under circumstances | which entitle me to his gratitude—well knowing that he had net yot arrired at year* of Jiacretion, I was unwil- ling to embitter my luture life by an unnecessary sever- ity oif his “Juvenile act.” The whole allair is a ridiculous farce—and i beg pardon of my readers for obtruding it before them.

The to1 low mg article Is Irom the New-York Even ing Po«t: •‘On tire occasion of publishing Mr. Jeff-rsan’s letter to Mr. Lciper, on Friday last, we mentioned our be- lie!,that in the latter years of his life, after some experi- ment of the prohibitory system had been tntde, he saw and deplored its folly. A correspondent, who sign* himself Corrector, has just sent ue a letter from Mr. Jefferson to Benjamin Austin, which he thiuke ahowa that we were miatsken. We were aware ol that lett«*r when we penned our article. It wae dated in 1816, just at the time when our present tariff system was be- gun, and before any experiment of its effects had been made. 1 he letter was published iu most American newspapers two or three years sinee, along with ano- ther letter of a considerably later date, iu which it we are not very much mistaken, Mr. Jefferson expressed himself in strong terms against the course pursued by the friends of the tariff system. B-aider (hi*, ttre let- ter sent by our correspondent doee no*, that we ran find, express any opinion in favor of faxing the consu- mer for the benefit of the manufacturer. Mr. J ff-r- aou says Ire is in favor of domestic manufactures, and so ■re we. We cordially wish them prosperity; but we cannot afford to pay a contribution to keep them in a force J state of existence. It they esnnot flourish without high du ies, let them wait till they are wanted; and they will then grow f«<t enough. Mr. Jefferson, in the lettor sent us, says—“Experience has now taught me that manufactures are as necessary to our ind< pin- cies is to our comforts; and if those who quote me as of a different opinion, will keep pace wiih na* in pur- chasing nothing foreign where an equivalent of domes- tic fabric can bs obtained without difference of price, it will not be our own fault if we do not have a supply st homo equal to the demand This is very sound doctrine. We say, also, let those who sre patriotically disposed, purchase the domestic article, when they can get it of ot equal cheapness an I quality with the fo reign. But let us have no laws to coercs our will in this respect. Above all, let not high duies be laid with x view of making its purchase a dearer or infeiior article. We cannot therefore gratify Corrector with publishing a latter which has no bearing upon the ques- tion? namely, what was the opinion of Mr. Jeffe sou of the present tariff system of ttiis country, alter its eff-c's had been ascertained by experiment; particularly as there is reason to pretutne that the letter has been al- ready seen by most of our readers.” Mr. C. J. Ingcrsoil bas gratuitously stepped foward at the lato dinner in Philadelphia, to vindicate Mr. Jeffer- son “from the false impressions of the late anniversary’’ at dY ashington.—And in the course of this vindication, lie has modestly taken ground for Mr. Jefferson and “the An- cient Dominion in favor of constructive supidemcnts,” and “all those great national monuments of prosperi- ty which are now foery where."—The wonder is, how any gcntloinan who has any regard for his political re- putation, should have ventured sucli rash assertions in the lace ot tiio public. The opinions of Virginia are upon record. They are to be found, not in the flimsy vouchers which Mr. Ingcrsoil has quoted—in certain measures of the federal government upon which her po- liticians were divided,* or on which she has never ex- pressed an opinion. They are found in the resolutions of her Legislature, which go in a strong current against "constructive supplements” and a splendid go- vernment.—That Mr. Ingcrsoil ah -uld ascribe such ul- tra sentiments to Mr. Jefferson is still more surprising, after the recent publication of his Memoir and Corres- pondwnce.— Mr. I. refers, tor example, to the“Cumbcr- land Koad”t by which (exclaims the Orator in all the pompous magnificence of Eastern Hyperbole,) a sys- tem “of improvement was initiated, which, if persever- ed in, will endow the Western world with Eastern great- ,l®something or Egyptian, trauscending that of Europe.’ Hut is there an American, who can note doubt of Mr. Jefferson’s exceptions to this very power over Internal Improvements? His letter to Mr. Gallatin of 1317, and his draft of the “Solemn Protest” of the Legislature of Virginia, leave not an atom of doubt upon this subject.—Mr. Ingersoll cites the Milita- ry Academy, as one of the monuments of Jefferson’s poli- tics.—\\ ithout pretending to decide that question,we ask is not Mr. I. aware that Mr. Jefferson declared it, in 1793, “unauthorised by the Constitution,” vol. 4, p. 499. And the same doubts, were expressed by Mr. Jefferson on the acquisition of l^ouisiana: “They (Congress) I pre- sume,will sec their duty to their country in ratifying and paying for it, so as to secure a good which would other- wise probably bo never again in their power. But I suppose they must then appeal to the nation for an ad- ditional article to the Constitution, approving and con- firming an act which the nation had not previously au- thor isetl, I he constitution has made no provision for our holding foreign territory, still less for incorporating foreign nations into our Union,” &c. Mr. I. also refers for Mr JeCTenon’s opinions on the I ariff power, to his letter to Mr Madison, in 178«, ap proving of the regulation of commerce (being given) to the federal head”—to a letter of hia to Mr. Skipwith, in 01, wiiere he ascribes the unparalleled prosperity of the country, to the unbounded confidence repored by the people in their government, Ih-ir zeal to aupport it, their conviction that a solid union is the best rock of safety; to favorable sea*on«, fertile soil, genial climate, and to the growth of industry, economy, and domestic manufactures”—without saying whether those dome*, tic manufactures had not grown up of themselves. Mr. Ingersoll also refers to Mr. J’s report in 1793, on com- meret .where he argues, that where a nation imposes high duties on our productions, or prohibits them alto- gether, we should do the same by theirs; first burden- ing or excluding those productions, which they bring here, in competition with ours of the same kind; se- 6 ung next such manufactures as we take from them in the greatest quantity, and which, at the same time, we could soonest furnish ourselves; imposing on them duties lighter at first, hut heavy and heavier afterwards; which duties, having the effect of indirect encourage- ment to domestic manufactures, may induce the man- ufacturer to come himsel/ into these States" Ills scarcely necessary (or any one to to show, how irrele- vent is this incidental expression of Mr. J., to the pow- or over domestic Manufactures.—In truth, though it appears from some of Mr. J’s. declarations, during the embargo, or immediately after the pinch and pressure of the late War-lrom his letters to Messrs Austin and Griper, so often relied on, that he was mtir.h more fa- yorahle to domestic manufacture*, than lie had h»en In 1785—“ that to be independent for comfort* of life, we must fabricate them ourselves—that we mu*t now place the manufacturer by the side of the agriculturist”— yet !un°J7,lere fr«" «•**•» letters, that he had de- IlherKtely examined the question of the power in the jeneral government, to encourage directly the estab- lishment of manufactures, or that he had ever subscrib- ed to Mr. Rush’s opinion of that government having the power to " regulate the whole capital and labour of W," ch*,,#nK* "»*" *0 protuce the "lightest vestige of such an opinion, in the writings or •ay mgs of this distinguished man. The evidence i.«x- setly the other way —It was after the passage of ihe Tariff law of 1824, that Mr. Jefferson wrote, in the fol lowing memorable strain, to Mr Giles. (Dac. 26 1825 Immediately atter John Quincy Adams’s alarming Mes a*ge;) you *n'1 Wl,h deepest affliction, the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our Government, is advancing towards the usurpation of atl (he rights reserved to the States, and the consoli dation in itself, nf all powers, foreign and domestic; and tliat too, by construction*, which, if legitima'e. leave no [ilUfa u 'Vn VT,xr' T ak" ‘0**",er »*"* decisions of the federal Cou.t.the tfoelrin-s of the President, and the misconstruction* of the constitutional compact, ac P,| on •y the le gistatnre of the federal branch, and it Is hut too evident, (hat the three ruling branches of that de- pai linen', arc In combination to strip their colleagues the State authorities, of the powers reserved by them' and to exercise themselves, all functions, foreign and domestic.

The monstrous doctrine of a consolidate I government has been proclaimed in htxh places, and a'ready do we see in the private” walks of life, the poison spreading its baneful infiu ence. —Now is the time to withstand such docilities. THE LATE DEFALCATION. Under this head, the last Petersburg “Old Dominion” has noticed a false and impudent Communication in a Norfolk paper, under the signature of “TYuth"—which has been eagerly translated into the “National Jour- nal, and will probably go the rounds of the Coalition papers.—-It relates to the defalcation of the lato Collec- tor of Petersburg—It characterises the original article in the “O. D. (which announced tho defalcation) as a oase anil infamous calumny, got up to save the sinking administration, with their own set of pecula- tors and defaulters”—It purports to make this contra- diction on the assurance of the Ex-Collector himself— and it modestly declares that “the government is indebt- Collector*”0 * “l0nlh* ag0* lo tha Utc Petersburg ,V'% “°’ D” declare* the assertions of the Nor- folk Communication to be positively false—and that no man “having the laast pretensions to veracity” would have the “unblushing affrontery” to make them. " e have a letter before us, which removes every sha- dow of doubt upon the subject. The Marshall had in his possession a Distress Warrant against the Collector for $21.OOi)—and it is apprehended that his securities will bo ruined.—The Marshall has exposed to sale cer- tain property of the Collector in the County of Amelia —and it is said, that he purchased a part of it, putting down the cash for that purpose. s " hat will (he Coalitionists say to these circumstancos —thei/, who made such a clamour about the removal ol Col. Robertson—ascribing it to an outragiouspcrsecu- tion for opinion’s sake? The writer of Truth speaks also of the “foul taper- slon of this corrupt and wicked administration” upon Mr. King, the late Navy Agent of Norfolk —All that we will say at present is, that whatever be the state of Mr. K s accounts.itought to be exhibited—that, if inno- ceiit, his character ought to be cleansed Irom every sus- picion; and if a defaultor, the government Itself should be cle-anaa.l from every reproach. It is stated ill a northern paper, that the motion of Mr. Carson in the .0‘ K- <?''«"& for Mr- K’s accounts, was made at the instance of Mr. Branch.—The resolution has not yet tioen disposed of—though overy contldoi niton recom- mends a full devclopeinent of tlio transaction. Surely there has been time enough to produce all the vouch- ors, and ascertain the real state of the accounts! ABUSES OF THE PRESS. Had the Lynchburg Virginian the smallest grace re- maining, it would at once, (on seeing the downright di- rect contradictions and proofs of the Nashville Rep’ub- Itcan,) have admitted that it had been imposed on by ri- diculous accusations against the Nashville Committee— | have confessed its errors, and prom sed more discretion for tho future.—It has not taken this course—nor did we expect it would.— Instead ol making (lie amende honor- able to men, whose characters it has attacked, it has en- dorsed the forged charges which it lias circulated and ought now to share in the guilt of the original transgros- sion. Tho Virginian has still the face to insinuate that the contradiction of tho N. Republican is false— and, of course, that its ownjsurmise about the money’s being “returned, either directly or indirectly, from Washington City”-inay still be true. Is there the 'lightest probability of it? It is charged that money had been paid out by Mr. Parish, or the Committee, for bribes and political purposes—and it is still insisted up- on, that a portion of the missing money mat/ have been lately returned from Washington city, ‘indeed, the amount of the missing money is said lobe about $121 000- they were in notes of the Nashville Bank-notes nearly two year ago drawn from circulation, counted and put up in bundles of from 2 to $10,000 each-sealed up with wax, the Directors writing their names upon the packets —and yet it must now be contended, that they were first paid out in bribes, then scattered over the country- then collected (at least a portion of them)—at Wash’ng- ton—then returned to Nashville; made up in packets sealed, &c. &c. For, the Republican shows that the mo- ney, which has been returned to the vaults of the Bank was the money thus counted, packed away, sealed, fcc’ How can the Virginian escape this dilemma? It tries indeed, to do so, by a little tun (fun in such a serious case!) and by boldly attempting to show that the Cash- ier could not have easily removed it from the vaults of the Bank. Tiie “Repnblican,”on the spot, and with ail the Tacts now known to the citizens of Nsshville, says posi- tively that the Cashier did take the trunks with him And the Virginian talks forsooth about tho “amusing ro- mances of Baron Munchausen!!” The N. Republican scornfully laughs at the Virgin- ian s crying out for some of its friends at Nashville to help it out of its embarrassments. Its Elitors say 'l'*' “wo,,l'1 be obliged to any gentleman of that city (Nashville) who may know any (bingo! the cir- cumstance* connected with (he delalrslio:», 8tc. (of the State Bank) to furnish us (them) with such laris as may bs in his possession with regard to it—that is to say if he ran do so in eafety-if be can c*c»pe the espotnage of a parthan Post-Office e*tablshmeni. and the punishment of the SECOND SECTION.” Why do not these Editors appeal to the charity of the man who furnished them with the first information? Why does he not help them out, if he can? Or rather why do they not acknowledge the gross imposition that has been practised upon them, and call upon their in- formant to make due reparation to an abused public? "Political Regeneration in JVew England." I he opposition Elitors are boasting of the great in- crease of their strength. “Good, easy souls!” whers are the evidences of it? Even Now England, their own strong-hold, is leaving them—and rebellion is np- pearing in (lie East. y Rh >d* Island '• James Fenne* ( ays the Providence Patrio*,) was rs-elected Givsrnorby a majority ol 1072; Charles Collins.

In Maiuachiucttt, there was an increase of several thousands to the Jackson candidates at the spring elec- tion, over and above tho votes which were given in 1H28 for the Presidency.—In Maine, at the late election for a member of Congress, the majority of Mr, Jarvis (the Jackson candidate) was 503 over throe other candidates and Scattering to hoot In fact, the Democratic ina-’ jonty is one thmuand star hundred and twentu—ansi in a "District in which, at the commencement ot the can- vass a Dsmocrit who wa# friendly to the present Nstlocat Adm*ni*»r#iion could not hire been run with any prospect ot rucce#*!!” JVew- Hampshire—The whole Congressional Del- egation ia Jacksonian—And such is the predomi- nance of that party in the Legislature, that it is expect- ed that Mr. Ilill, tho rejected Comptroller at Washing ton, will he elected Into the Senate of the U. 8.—and Mr. Bell will be thrown out.

A late Legislator of Virginia, Member of Congress, Governor of Virginia. Secretary of IVar, and Fo- reign Ambassadorf and now a would-be-Legislator again. * p“Th- Boston Courier, of the 10.It May, says :— James Barbour, after having been a Legislator fo• Ilia own State, a Member ol Congress, Governor ol Vir- ginia, one of the Cabinet, and a Foreign Ambassador, Ins now cons* nted, with true Republican nntione, to be agam oue ot tbe General Assembly of Virginia.” This i«altage'her a Yankee notion. But it will not catch Virginians, if it wheedles and Hatters desponding Yankees ami others, who ran finey the music of empty barrel4, re-bapti«e the Apoatate.cbriateu a new the rene- gade Politician, and dye back bis blu3-light coat, *o re- publican gray. We in Virginia, can assure the man of the Boston Courier, that the two latter items lie has ci ed in the catalogue of Mr. Barbour's honours, have ra- ther sunk him below the character of a Virginia legis- lator, instead of cons'ituling (he climax of an eleva- tion, from which it would lie a condescension agaiu to begin at the alpha of his political career. It was too much of a Yankee no'ion in Mr. Barhour, to accept of those functions under the illegitimate Yankee Adminis- tration, of one dyed in (he wool, to cheat Mr. Jefferson —too slightly, however, fo withstand the ardent anil •arching beams of a Southern Sun; being done with a s ngle dip, it began early to fade, and entirely resumed t:s onginal pallid hue, long before the term of service it was into .ded to perform, had expired. Mr. Barbour then knew, and still knows, that'he thereby repudiated niinself from the favour and affections of his own State, and his present project will only he regarded as the quintessence of his wonted indiscretion. Yes, wehearti* ly concur with the man of the Courier, that Mr. Bar- injur nas rns own roii'ent, to he ngaio one of the General Assembly of Virginia”!!! but with what prompting of “Republican notions,” it will be. rifflctili for him of the Courier to make appear, for more reasons than those of his late alliance—viz: hi* consent ha* been obtained by the solicitations, cordially received a* pressed,of his own affections for power, pomp, 8t public notoriety : and having come down to the level of a pri- vate citizen, on the JV’orth-Kast *ide of the eminence, to the top of whirl) he had risen, finding it co'd, barren, at.d dreary, he whips arour.d to his original Southern position, gives a blast at (lie bung-bole of his empty bar ret, and calls upon his former comrades, and the yeo- manry of hi* county, to a ljust tin ladder once more, that he may again ascend, and take a few more *ky- I gSt observations—perhaps with s promise that he will, this tune, turn his face to the South-1 rest. But this i* rather reversing the natural order of political causation; if ho cannot wait his chanc-s to re-ascend from that side of (he hedge, to which hi* own apostacy had car- ried him, he must in future be content with the hum- ble walks of a private citizen, for there would be rather too much back-sliding in the business, for Virginians to lend him a band to effect bis object. He will, tli*rc- Tore, have to wait till the cow* come borne,” before the citizens of Orange county will give their consent to the notion be 1ms taken, to be again one of the Gen- *r*l Assembly of Virginia.” We arc told, however, that hi* failure «*il| give him no occasion for aelf-re- proarb, for want of active and vieorous exertions, by explaining, exhorting, and persuading, to wheedle the people into a conciliatory and complying humour.— Some shrewd fellow of a plain patriot farmer, I expect, in the meau time, will t«k him to remember to include in Ins explanations, a word or two about the § 100,000 expended, beyond the appropriations, during bis Secre- tarysbip, by the Clerk of the Indian Bureau, and whe- ther he considers stirb unauthorized extravagance, in sending a Clerk, (Thomas L. Markit.ny,) on a festival four among the Iiidims is more chargeable to the Secretary of War, or to the Clerk of the Boroaor It i* a bard question for common minds to discover bis justification—though the long practiced,diplomatic hab- its of one, bred at the bar. too. will find no difficulty in making the worse appear the better course.
