Mwviiuf, (he Cliii|iii>i?Iw, and Mr
That our renders may *ee what harmony there is iu
the democratic movements, in whatever portion of the
Union they are now in progress of development, we
propose to biui); to their view the leading sentiments
which animated the convention recently held at Concord,
in New Hampshire, and which produced ouch nUequiro-|
cal declarations in favor of the execution and support of
the measures adjusting the question of slavery. In yes
teiJuj's Union Mr. Cuahing's it pint was considered us'
the indication of the sentiment which will control the ac
tion ol the democracy in Massachusetts; and we referred
to it with satisfaction and hope, as deemed to mark a
new era in the political feelings of & community which
has heretofore looked with disfavor upon the doctunes
of Mr. Jetfersoii, and those views of oui federal system
which inculcate a distrust of Its tendency to invade th*
reserved sovereignly of tl e States. It seamed to u~ tlmt
the agitation of the slavery question, subsiding as it now
is under the direct influence of that conservative feature
in our political system which gives to a local interest
a guarantee against the interference of the federal
power, had taught a leaeon which must satisfy minds
heretofore opposed to the school of Mr. Jelferson, that
in res|>eet at least to the necessity of preserving the
States in all their reserved sovereignty, he had not mis
taken our lasting interests as a confederacy. It is this;
feature in our system which has heen assailed by the agi
tators of the subject of slavery; and that it hus not been
overthrown is mainly due to the firmness of the party |
which was organized by Mr. Jetlerson, and which has
never performed a more patriotic labor than that in which
it is now engaged of disarming not merely political anti
slavery, but of reconciling all portions of our Union to
the fraternal cultivation of those feelings which led to
the original formation of the constitution.
With these observations, we present from the speech
of Mr. Peaslee a few extracts, showing the thoughts
which influenced the recent State convention at Con
cord?the body which nominated Judge Woodbury
for the presidency, and announced the determination ol
the democracy of New Hampshire to uphold the Com
promise and maintain the execution of the fugitive-slave
law. .
Extracts from Mr. Peatlee't Speech.
There never has keen a lime, lie retnaiked, in the history
of our government, wtien the movements of the detno- ;
cratic party were of k> much importance, and so pn^
riant with results, as at piesent. We are not unmindful
of the many trials and struggles through which uur be
loved country has already passed. The proud struggles ol
its early iiifancj?its lust efforts for freedom?its fust
efforts for constitutional liberty?its .?ecoiid snuggle for
freedom?the gloomy days ol its commercial and finan
cial history?are all trenti in our remembrance. VVe re
member, too, that the great principles ol democracy have
guided her safely through all these trials.
Ye.?, we say emphatically, that the safety of the Union
will del*ml upou the action ol the democratic party?
not that we would underrate the patriotism and abilities
of individuals of the whig part) ; but we nay that, as n ,
parly, it is not equal to the present emergency?not equal
to the present crisis. The task of maintaining the com
promise measures of the last Congiess, it has been well
said, is a task beyond the power ol the present ail minis i
tration, with the whig parly divided, distracted, and be
wildered as it is ; and, unless these measures are main
tained in all their essential features, the Union ilselj
cannot be maintained The work, then, must be done,
if done at all, by the democracy of the country, from
whose principles those measures emanated, and with
whose policy they harmonize in their nationality of de
sign and purpose.
Wt anxiously hope and trust that the hour of our
couutry's extreme |>eril and danger ti.is in a great measure
passed. But still ihere are daupers to our political Union
hanging above and around us of no ordinary importance.
It is of no ordinary importance fhat wtlhin the last few
weeks there have been conventions held at either end ol
our Union for the avowed purpose, and with the an
nounced design, of breaking up and seceding trom this con
federacy of States. It is ol no ordinary importance thai
the last few weeks have seen conventions at Syracuse
snd other parts of the Union, convened lor the purpose
of counselling and advising in what manner they ma\
most successfully evade and avoid the requirements ol
our constitution, and in what manner they may rr*>st sue
ceMlully trample upon that sacred instrument, w hich has
been, and still is, their and our benehcenl protector, and
which has come to be the protecting guardian ol thirty
one sovereign Stales, "clasped by the endearing name of
country." At one of these conventions of the "bigher
law" patriots ol Guernsey count), Ohio, resolutions in
Ibese express wor^s were adopted, in allusion to the fu
gitive-slave law-:
Rtntlctd, His we decls'e upon the altar of God and hu
manity, lhat we will not obey ihe requiienierila ol thai ,aw,
but will irauiple ibem wilt) worn, contempt, and indignity
beriealh our (eel.
Ktinlvtd, That the norihern whin* a?1' the northern dam
ocrats, who voted lor this law, have proved themselves
traitors In t??l snd liberty, and the dearest rights ? I man ;
ai.d, lurthcr, have proved (heinselvea until to n ;iku laws to*
any rieople or naiion,either Curifilnn or heathen, snd their
name* should be handed down to poatetity branded with
disgrace and eternal liitamy
Hrto/vni, That our motto shall be repeal ' repeal' ' re
I sal'!' or dissolution of the Umon
H'xUrrd, That all ministers of the (iospel who either
neglect or reluse to denounce this law give evidence of deep
corruption ol ihe r unit-m wed hearts, and are unworthy the
confidence and patronage of any Christian people.
These resolutions express the true sentiments of the
abolition faction, they contain the very essence and
spirit of genuine "higher-law" r.ullificalion, and the.
leading advocates of lhat heresy who do not avow Ihe i
same sentiments are hypocrites, for such are their real
doctrines Yes, we have in our very midst men who I
declare "lhat llit) repudiate the constitution as a cove
nant with death and an agreement with hell," and who
would with malignant and fiendish joy rend in lalters,
and trample under their leel, lhat sacred instrument?the
work ot Washington, Jelferson, Franklin, the elder j
Adams, and our own l^ngdon, and which, being a mat
let at con promise, contract, and agreement, we are un
der the most solemn of obligations strictly to adhere to, i
in all of its provision* and requirements, until il shall be
constitutionally altered or amended
And there is nothing bul this respect for Ihe principles
and ihe con pro mi sea ol our constitution, and the hrmiies*
with which they are supported by Ihe demotrotii port}.
that can insure durability to our Union Who, ihen, can
tie so legalities- of the value of that Union, so insensi
ble to the blessing* which our constitution has already
securest to us, or so ignorant ol the many trials and diffi
culties under which it wa* burned and adopted, so igno
rant of tbe danger of instability, as to lay the rude hand
of vwifence U|miii that sacred instrument ( l<et the
prayers of the f>enple avert such a direful calsrnil) ' I,ei
all sro'n and coniempl for that sacted instrument, and
the laws which are pM>*ed in pursuance of its require
ments, and Ihe rights winch it guarantee*, and Ihe eatab
lished principle* of our government, be resisted and
frowned down at all lime* and all occasions , for if ever
this government *hall he de*troyed. il ever tin* Union
shall he dissolved, it will be effected by men ol great pre
tensions to conscience snd duly, hut who are <n reality
insincere, and dishonest hypocrites anil demagogues, steal
ing into the confidence and im|>oaing upon the people like
the leader* of the abolition "higher-law" parly of the pre*
enl day?men who, under false pretensions oconscience
and duly, are continually arraying the Notlh against the
South, or the South against the North, the Kasl against ihe
West, and the West against ihe East, stirring up sectional
feeling* and jealousies, exciting a general distiust against
our government and institutions, and in every wa)
heightening the perturbation of the public mind, until it
?hall resch such a feverish stale that it will proceed to
acta without reflecting upon consequences Ageinst such
men we should be on our guard ; and in the language of
him whose warning voice ought noir, amidst ihe roar
and din ol maddened factionists and Ihe thunders of dis
union, breaking m terrible and startling peals upon our
ears, to be regarded a* if coming from Ihe sacred re|iose
of Mount Vernon, we should "indignantly frown ii(>on
the first dawning of any and every attempt to alienate
any portion of our country from ihe rest, or enfeeble the
?acred lie* which now link together the various parts;"
for. should the dreadful contingency of our separation
and being lorn asunder ever hsppen, our country will not
he worth preserving Hut we will not
indulge this sad and melancholy idea, only to he on our
guard against foes within as well as foes without, and
to cause us lo omit nothing in our power to prevent this
(sir republic?reared with so much treasure and blood?
becoming a deplorable, melancholy ruin, having full con
fidence that there is a redeeming spirit in the land, and a
guardian Providence thai atili watches over the destinies
of our country.
Such is the man, [Mr. Woodbury,] such thi patriot, j
such the statesman whom New Hampshire otitis to the |
national convention. Under such a leader, we are con- I
liilrnt the democratic |>arty would ayain unite It would
rally with renewed Btiengtb to the suppoit of its1
cherished principles?principles which use above all ,
luta/uin, n\\ stiUonaluin. -principles as all enihiacing and
as eA|*an*ive as the country itself, and which the de ,
inocracy have acted upon "without variableness or
shadow ol turning" ever since the days o! Jefferson, and
which tliey no# *loi> to maintain. It is these prioci-I
pies, conaecrated bj the wisdom of "that great triutufi
rate of freedom," Washington, Jeffeison, ami Jackson,
which have made the deiuociaiic paity the national parly
of the country? the |>aily ol the iviultluhon, and tlie
parly ol the Union?the parly true to the expanding
genius oi our institutions, true to the pant and to the fu
turn of American history. We care not what names any
Other party may claim?we care not what lilies any men
or set 0/ men may see lit to assume?we repeat that the
democratic I'ltriy, by its history, by the genius which in
spires its history, by its principles, its men, it* measures,
is the only Union party of our country. It is the part)
ol pio^iess?the advocate of the rights of labor?the
only party whose policy throws open the institutions anil
blessings of our couutry to the foreigntr ami to the down
trodden of every lurid - the only party which has advo
cated the extension ol our territory, tlit* spread of our in
stitutions, and the fulfilment ol our destiny. It is the
paity whose louiidation-slonu is the maxim Install power
is inherent in the people, and theie should remain, un
controlled by any of the restricting influences which fed- |
eralism would throw around it.
Such is our party, fellow-citizens, and such our
principles?such the parly which founded and has guided ;
on this young, free, and nap'iy repubhe during most of j
its existence. And in the success of our party the prin
ciples of Washington, Jelleison, and Jackson, the secu
rity of our constitution, the perpetuity of our Union, the
fair fame of our country, are all involved and all at stake. ,
Worthier or nobler cause for effort never appeared in
history.

His excellency Governor Floyd, of Virginia, after a j
shot! visit to this city, returned yesterday to Richmond.
The purpose of his visit, we understand, was to make
arrangements for the sale of certain bonds of liis Slate,
intended to promote various internal improvement*. Un
| iter his vigorous administration, we trust that Virginia i
will soon be placed where her great resources invite j
her?in the front rack of her sister States in point of the
extent and importance of her inland communication and
exterior commerce.
The Compromise?Whig TmcIIcj.
As Mr. Webster clearly proves, the whig party, for i
many years past, Las pursued a line of policy which had
the effect of building up a free-soil anti-slavery serai
ment in the North. That sentiment was appealed to on
many occasions to exert itself against the South. It
i? unuecessaiy to specify those occasions, as we are now
about to coiuider the effort made to force the national
legislature, by epecial legislation, to forbid and pro
hibit servitude in the territories acquired from
Mexico. This e9brt to require a prohibition in the ac
quired territory gave rise to that temjiest which threat
ened our institutions, and made a compromise abso
lutely necessary to the preservation of the Union. It
presented an issue which had a controlling effect over
the last presidential election. The whig party of the
North, with unprecedented unanimity, sustained the
Wilmot proviso, and the whig party of the South acted
in concert with their northern friends, and succeeded
in carrying the election of 1849. As the natural effect
of the election of the Taylor and Fillmore ticket, the iac
tioniats became rampant during the last ne-tsiuti of the
30th Congress; and in their most factious propositions
they bad the steady co-operation of the mass of the whig
party North. Messrs. Ewing and Seward, aided by the
decision of Mr. Speaker Winthrop, defeated the Walker
amendment, and the session adjourned leaving the coun
try distracted by the most violent excitement. Hut not
withstanding this, and notwithstanding the ominous
character of General Taylor's cabinet, even the southern
whig members of the 31st Congress?with some five ex
ceptions?supported Mr. Wiatbrop as Speaker for the list
Congress. But many of them, although they were willing
to support Mr. Winthrop, could not venture to vote for
the anti-slavery opinions of Mr. Winthrop when recorded
in congressional acts They were thus forced to fall back
upon the democratic ground of non-intervention, and to aid
the democrats in carr) ing through the measures of adju?'.
ment. Those measures were in accoidance with the
principles of the democratic party; and had it not been
that the dangerous sentiments, which the whig party
North has for man> years actively disseminated, ob
tained the control of the executive power by the election
of General Taylor, no occasion for compromise would
have arisen. There would have been no difficulty, an 1
no need of settlement. The democratic policy would of
itself have composed all disturbance*. Indeed, the mere
surcees of the democratic party in 1*4# would have been
equivalent to a return of peace and quiet.
The whig |>ariy is now endeavoring to make capital
out of a Compromise which a inaiinty of it opposed, and
to claun exaltation because a whig Preside#! declares bis
willingness to execute the laws, and becau*.- a few whig*
have aided the democracy in arresting the dangers which
whig politicians herd deliberately creaud for party and
seciional purposes.
We repeat that had it not been for the sectional course
t'f the whig |>arty, there would have been no necessity
for the Compromise. Hatred to the democratic |>arty was
the first principle in the wing creed. I'l^t hatred woulu
secure admittance into the whig ranks and comruuiiiori
in the whig church. Federalism was consumed with a
burning revenge. The democratic party had saved the
liberties of the people from federal principles, and had
protected their substance from the plunder of class.legis
lation To prostrate the democratic party and to seize the
reins of power wss the first grsat object of the whigs
To accomplish that object.'they were ready to put on any
disguise, and willing to enter into any combination which
would promise success Anti-masonry, snti-rentism,
abolitionism all were taken to the bosom of the whig
l>arty While this was being-done, the whigs of the
South looked on complacently arid approvingly, until the
l>ariy became subjected to the anti-slavery sentiment The
necessity of providing for the government of the territories
acquired from Mexico, and the failure of many of the north
ern States, under the guidance of whig and wbolition coa- |
litions, to permit the execution of the law of 1793, forced
a direct practical issue before Congress and the country
When that direct issue was presented, the wings of the
Houth had no alternative. They were compelled to plant
1 themselves on the democratic platform, or be crushed as
with a mill-stone When tins step was taken, the most 1
sagacious of the northern whigs saw that it was time to
pausa. The danger which menaced the whig party |?er
suaded them to a course that the dangers which menaced '
the country had never induce.) tliem lo adopt The anti
slavery movements in the northern States had placed
the whigs in power ; but it had forced a direct issue i
which threatened to drive off the southern whins, and;
dismember the |>arly I he necessity of Rll adjustment of !
that issue was plain and apparent to them Rut it was
not so plain and apparent to a large m*]ority of the
northern whig jiarty in Congress Upsides, General Tay
lor's inflnence was opposed to a settlement Mr Fill
more's ill-considered proceedings towards Texas threat
ened still further danger to the whig party; indeed, his
administration was on the verge of ruin Then, and not
till then, did a sufficient number of northern whigs reluc
tantly come to the support of the Compromise to carry it
through the House of Representatives

" A daunt tunic o'tt Iht r tl if hit dit<im "
We rniieiiiber the im:iedulity with which the RipuMiC,
leteived lhe liral announcement ot (he Galphin atfan,
nail we recollect, also, thui it gamed much credit lor not
defending ibe transaction when the fact*of thecal were
brought before the public. Me?-rs. Bullitt At Sargent
were then the conductors of tt>ul journal, and their re
fusal lo defend or ju-tify a glaring malpractice was soon
followed by a surrender of thuir paper into oilier hands
It passed under the management o^Mr. Hall, with whoui
it remained until after the death of General Ta>lor;
when Mr Hall was pensioned i ll, and Mr. Sargent re
sumed the editoiial chair, from which, according to un
contradicted rumor, he and hit associate had been ejected
on the demand of the Galphin*.
Under such circunistances, we have heretofore thought
we should never tee the Republic defending, even
indirectly, the Galphin operation on the treasury. We
thought thai its original condemnation would reinum,
aud be vastly strengthened by the memory ot ba 1
treatment. But we were mistaken, it seems. A
change lias cowie o'er the spirit ol its dream. It
has abandoned its pristine abhorrence of the Galphin
operation Time tins melted its viitue away. It sees
with new eyes, and feels with other nerves. His it
forgotten the pastHas its more youthful ingenuous
ness been destroyed > Ha* its virtue yielded ami become
corrupted by foul influences? Or does it find that 1/ it
condemns the Gaiphtwmn of the Taylor administration,
there are things in the history of the present dynasty
which it must execrate for the st.ke of consistency f We
ask these question, but we do not pretend to be able to
answer them.
But the Republic cunningly forgets to mention the real
point in the Galphin business. It endeavors to bring the
matter to a mere claim against the government?draw
ing the inference that the justness of the claim was
all that was to be considered. Not so. The pay
ment of the principal of the claim had been authorized
by Congress. As to the inteiest, different opinions have
been entertained aud expressed. To say the least, the
demand for interest was one of doubtful right. But that
was not the gist of the matter. The real offence against
common propriety and public morality was of a nature
which could nol be mitigated by the verdicts of twenty
juries or the opinions of twenty Attorneys General as to
the legal justice of the demand for interest. The real
offence was, THAT a membeu or the cabinet was
DEEPLY INTERESTED IN A CLAIM WHICH WAS PAID BY HIS
associates in the CABINET. No matter whether the
claim was just or unjust, such a proceeding whs corrupt
and corrupting, ft tended to cortvert the members of the
cabinet into a systematized claim-agency?all acting in
partnership, and each partner adjudicating the claims
intrusted to his copartners?they in turn adjudicating
his.
But it seems that the organ of the present cabinet
complains that the democratic party did not ordor suit to
be instituted against Mr. Crawford for the portion of the
Galphin interest he had received. This is mere moon- I
shine. As we have before said, the rightfulness of the :
chum for interest had but little to do with the matter. ]
The real point was as lo the question of public mo-1
rality, whether a member of the cabinet?the Secretary !
of War, for instance?shall be sustained in acting as
agent lor a claim, or retaining his interest 111 a claim
which is to be preferred against the treasury or any other
department of the government.' That is the question,
which cannot be submitted to a jury?one which it is
needless to submit to a jury.
We have said more upon this subject than we intended
to say. But as it appears from the course of Ibe Republic
that the administration intends to a|>ologize for?per
haps sustain?the Galphin operation, and as it lias been
asserted lhal Galphin?the onginal Galphin?was a great
patriot durir.g the revolution, we beg leave to annex, and
to call attention to, the following statement:
From the Hopkinsvillt' Pre??
Gcorue Gal*HW.?The Whig quibble* about our |
statement thai a revolutionary soldier of thi? count)
knew Galphin, urn! knew him to be a tory. Does the
Wing deny our statement1 If he does, we will prove it
Probably that will satisfy him.
The old soldier to whom we referred is a man of the
stricteM verac.ty, and is s:? known to be by the whole
county. No one will dispute his word, or any statement
he makes In i>olitu:s be is a whig. He beard Thomp
son's speech here alma: (iatpliui having been a levolu- [
tionary hero, and having fought with Marion and !
Sumter, and he says fyeie i* not a word of tiuth in it
George Galphm married I lie Mater of the old sold ierV
father, and be therefore had an opportunity to know him
He s?\s he knew them all, and 11y were the rankest
and bloodiest tones in (?e irgia. I bey spared neither life
nor property, sex nor age. I iiey headed a band of scoan- i
drels, who murdered and plundered with the barbarity
and ruthlessness of lavage*.
As .1 member of a haul of American patriots, our old
soldier hm>r he ha* often sought Idr the Galpluos; and 1
he declares that alihoU;'i < onnected with Galphin by the
ties ot blood, yet he would have kiiled him as soon and |
as williiikIv as he would have killed a mad dog.
George Galphin bad abandoned his wife, by whom he
had two ?ons, and had taken up with a Degress, by whom |
also he had two sons; and abandoning tier he took up
with an Indian squaw. who bore him two sons He lived I
with the Indians, traded with them, and ciliated then,
out ol a large fortune When the revolution broke out
he joined the British, and with his six sons, and bis In
dian allies, and the various cut throats and scoun
drels whom he gathered about him, he was the scourge
and terror of the whole country around him.
This was the kind of man whom Mr Thomtwon now
holds up a* a revolutionary4nro, anil whom he classes
with Marion and Sumter, as the model of an American pa
liiot His heirs are the men to whom General Taylor's
cabinet a ?ve #i'.?0,(KH) out of the public treasury for Ins
losses and sacrifices in the cnn?e of American lifierty !
And it is this act of public plundrr which Mr. Thompson
is now defending all over the Slate ' We leave it to tin
people to say whether M r. Thompson is a fit person to
place at the head ol our Stale government.

TuLolt, Colonel and Chief of the Huieau of Uid
nance.
SttOHD day's FHO( KEDINaS.
The court met at U o'clock, and tbe record of yester
day was read.
A notei wu? received from General Talcott, respectfully
request!!* that the trial be not commenced until after the
iinval of the eleven-o'clock Hum, in the hope that the
absent member (General Clarke) may arrive, as he did
not wish the trial to proceed except with a full board.
The court was ordered to be cleared.
ITjkju reassembling, the court took a recess until 19, m. j
Tlie court reassembled at the appointed hour : all the 1
members present, except General Clarke. But the court
concluded to proceed with the trial, .,nd the usual oath
wa? administered to each of tliv intinvf - and the Judge
Advocate.
The Judge Advocate asked General Talcott if he ob
jei ted to any members of the court.
No objection being made, the charges were then read.
They Mre three in number, all relating to the same trans
action, the various facts and circumstances being set out !
hi a number ol specification*.
Charge firtt is for violation of the 133d article of ord
nance regulations, which directs that no coutiact for ord
nance stores or supplies shall be made by any officer or
agent of the corps without special authority of the Colo
nel of Ordnance, sanctioned by the Secretary of War.
The alleged violation is specified to have been by an or
der of the Colonel of Ordnance himself, without the sanc
tion of the Secretary, to Colonel lluger, authorizing him
to procure by open purchase shot and shells to a remark
able extent, for the use of Fort Monroe; in pursuance of
which authority Col. Huger gave an order for 5OO tons
of shot and shells to Doctor E. Carmichael, which Carmi
chael assigned to the Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond
for the consideration of paid him, and which order
or contract, it is charged, General Talcott afterwards ap
proved.
C/uirge second is for disobedience of orders and instruc
tions of the Secretary of War, in relation to a contract j
for supplies?viz: the contract above alluded to, which it j
is alleged the Secretary hail previously rcluscd to give to 1
Carmichael.
Charge third is for conduct unbecoming an officer and ,
a gentleman?the specifications alleging various false
statements and reports to the Secretary, to the effect that I
no such contract exisied.
The Judge Advocate then asked the uccuscd if he
plead guilty or uot guilty. General Talcott replied in the |
negative, and handed to the court the following ; which
was read:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Court :
Desiring to interpose no obstacles to . full and lair in
quiry into the fails upon which these charges and speci
fications have been corisliluled, 1 respectfully Request |
that 1 may be allowed to re.-erve all matU-t touching \
their sufficiency in law, to he used in the discretion of
counsel at the summing up ol iny defence; and with
this reservation 1 now plead, to all and singular the said
charges and specifications, not guilty.
Appearing before you under circumstancea for which I
have uot been prepared by anything in the experience of
my past life, 1 desire to intrust the defence of my honor j
and character to a professional friend here present; and
to this end I request that J. M. Carlisle, esq., a member
of the liar ol this city, may be allowed to attend me
during tbe open sessions o! the court, under tbe restric
tions ordinarily impossd upon counsel in courts-mar
tial.
G. TALCOTT,
Junk 24, 1651. Brevet Brigadier General.
Mr. Carlisle stated that the accused bad some time
since summoned the Hon. Wm, L. Marcy as a witness
on his part, but that he had not yet come; and in case of
his not appearing, he should expect a reasonable delay
from the court, in order that his testimony might be ob
tained.
Tbe Judge Advocate remarked to the court tbat, by an
agreement with the counsel of the accused, they had de
termined to examine witnesses only upon the points in
tbe case in the order of tune in which they occurred, and
thus prevent a contiguous narrative. This would neces
latii) involve the calling of some of the witnesses
several tunes; but the court would find that they would
arrive at tbe facts much sooner in this way than in any
other.
Cup'am .Maynalier called lie stated that he wan the
principal assistant lo the chief of the Ordnance depart
uient, ami had been on that duty from February 1. lsti,
lo the present tune continuously, and during liiat |>criod
General Talcott had been in charge of theliureau. He
staled that the usual annual appropriation for the tii?e of
the bureau wan $100,000, which sum was for fortifica
tion* uhJ the purchase of munitions of war generally.
He then proceeded: I>arintj the temporary absence of
General Talcott, in 1850, I wan in charge of the bureau
Doctor Carmichael called and subinitlel tu ine certain pa
per* from ex-l'resideiil Tyler <ind ex-Secretary Wnkins,
by virtue of which he claimed to be entitled to a contract
lor shot and shells. I referred him to the Secretary of
War, (Mr. Crawford,) by whom the pa|H-ra were sent
to me lor an official report.
[The teport was then read. The purport of it wan,
that the government did not require any shot or shells ;
but even if it dul, it would first be necessary that an ap
propriation should be made, as there were no fund* on
liand ]
i wan absent from the bureau from 10th October to
^Isl November, IS50, and on iny return learned that
DitctOT Carmichael had been there on the name business;
hut he had gone before I came back.
The Secretary of War called.
Uiirtltiin Did Doctor Carmichael apply to you for a
contiact to furnish shot.' and, if to, state ihe partic
ulars
Anmrtr Some time about the latter end of October,
1*00, or early in November, General Talcott came into
j my room at the department, shortly after 1 reached it in
the morning, accoui|ianieil by a gentleman whom he in
troduced lo ine an l> >ctor Carimrhael, of Virginia Af
ter the gentlemen wen-seated, General Talcott told me
that the Doctor wished to see ine on business, which be
would explain Doctor C. then observed that he came
to see me in relation to a contract for making shot. He
said that he made a contract lor a considerable quantity
ol shot with smne previous head ol the detriment, and
that he had lett ollire before the contract wan executed,
and therefore the contract had never been fulfilled ; thai
he had, however, applied to my immediate predecessor
(Mr. Crawford) to carry out tne contract, and that he
had recognised it, btlt hail also lelt office before Ihe
contract wan executed, and that he called upon me now
to execute the contract. I asked him tf he had the con
tract, or if it wii in wrinfig?I forget which; he stated
tiiat it was not in wilting, hut that it was fully understood,
and that .Mr. Ciawford was satisfied of the existence of
the contract and recognised its validity. I asked him if
he had any evidence of lhat recognition. Genera! Tal
cott, who was prevent during linn conversation, had a
bundle of pa|*rs in his hand. I asked General T if
those were the pa|<ers, and he replied they were I re
quested bun to hand litem to me, which he did. I ex
amined the papers to look simply for the recognition ol
Mr Crawford. I found a paper which I read atten
tively ; and afler doing so I observed to Doctor Car
micbael that, according lo this paper, it seemed to
ine that Mr Crawford, *o lar from acknowledging the
existence of any contract on the part of the government,
exprensly and positively negatived the existence of a
contract. The Doctor said he thought differently , and I
then read to him the last clause of Mr. Crawford's letter,
in which he refers lo the re(>ort of the bureau of Ord
nance, and Mid, "that whenever the mrans are granted,
the detriment would pursue the ordinary and legal
mode of making contracts " The Doctor still contended
for some tune that his view of Ihe letter was correct, and
al?o stated that there was a verbal understanding between
himself and Mr. Crawford by which he wan to make
thia contract In answer lo thil, I told him that I hail
adopted an a rule, ever sinre I had been in the depart
ment, having been frequently called upon to recognise
promises made by or with my predecessors, to recognise
nothing binding lhat did not ap|war upon the records
of the department or in writing The Doctor made a
very earnest ap|>eal to me to be allo wed to make some
?hoi, and presented what he considered a good many
srgnments to induce me to let hitn make some shot ; but
I |>er?isted in my refusal in very positive terms He lefl
the office aomewhat dinnatisfied at my decision.
(Jitrtiton Did Oeneral Talcott take any i>art in the
above conversation t
Aimieer My recollection is, that during the whole of
the conversation General T. remained silent Indeed, I
was somewhat surprised, afler I bad looked al ihe |>a|>ers,
at his remaining silent, and allowing Doctor Carmichael's
xtatement that there was a recognition of a contract by
Mr. I lawford to go uncontradicted I thought of it alter
tliey ha>t le(i ihe room a" s mngular circumstance , anil he
mg in the habit of taking the verbal statement of Ihe
heads of bureaus as facts, 1 should have believed that
Mr. Ciawford had made a contract, if General Talcott
hail not had the papers in his hand I wan more aunmsed
Irom the fact that a day or two after General Talcott
came into my office on other business, and introduced the
subject of this conversation with Doctor Caruucbael, and
observed to me, "You are light there never win recog
nition of the contractand spoke, as I thought, some
what sjieenngly at Doctor Caruiichael's declaration that
there had been ouch a recognition.
C rots-exammuliun
The counsel for defence united the witness if General
Talcott took any |>ait in the conveisation Willi Doctor
Carmichael; who replied that he did not.
by defence Did Gen I alcott have the pa
pers in Inn possession, or only pass them to yon Irorn
Doctor Carmictiael
Answer, lie had them, and brought them with him
Quetlum by defence Did Doctor (Carmichael date the
time and plate wheie the verbal contract with Mr 1'iaw
foril was made.'
A rawer I do not think that Doctor Carmichael state.!
any particular lime or place
Question by defence. Did you consider it necessary for
Geneial Talcott loexplain to >outhe nature of the papers
when you had them there for your own examination ?
Answer. My looking at the nailers at all was entirely
accidental. If General Talcott had stated to me officially
that there was such a contract, 1 would have taken the
fact for granted, as I am in the daily habit ol doing in
reference to contracts made by all the bureaus And
when Doctor Carmichael made this assertion in his pre*
ence, and he remained silent, I consideied it at the time
as equivalent to his making the declaration himself, or
nearlv so, and I took the papers with an entire conviction
that I nhould tind in them a recognition of the contract
by Mr. Crawford, and was a good deal surprised when I
found that it was not so.
The hour of J o'clock having arrived, the court ad
journed until this morning at y o'clock
For llie Union.
Tlit Ferocity of Ml Jud -A UUtorU-ul Anecdote ol'
Iffi
" Here comes a messenger from the enemy, citizen rep
resentative, who looks as if he was sent to invite lis to
replenish our exhausted stores from the depot of lus Impe
rial Majesty, trie Kinperor of Austria."
" From the depot of the Austrian tyrant, you should
say," interrupted rudely a young man, whose fierce and !
domineering deportment contrasted strangely with his i
delicate and clfeminate appearance."
The last speaker was the representative St J net, who {
adopted this mode of giving a lesson in republican manners
to General Charboiinier, an old soldier?a brave, though
easy and good humored man?who had been raised by
the strange vicissitudes of the times from the ranks to the
command of the army of the Moselle, and who was then
occupied in besieging the fortress of Charleroi.
" Citizen General," continued the arrogant I'rocotuul,
"ifyouiK# ignorant of the language of republicanism, j
you ought at least to understand your duty as a soldier
The republic expects you to receive the enemy with pow
der and ball Let that flag oftiuce be fired u|ion at
once I"
Cbarbonnier was for a moment thunderstruck ; he hes
itated, but only for an instant. The powers of the Pro
consul wete unlimited; his orders were peremptory; the 1
General had learned obedience ill the ranks. " I have no '
discretion," said he to himself; " it is front face ! forward j
march !' And he prepared to obey a command which set ?
at defiance every principle of civilized warfare, when a
simultaneous butst of disapprobation, mingled with threats ,
and entreaties, arose from the officers and troops who had
witnessed this extraordinary scene.
" Stay a moment, General," said the unmoved St. Just;
and then casting a sinister and malignant look upon the
officers who had dared to disapprove of his conduct. "This
is not the first time I have bad occasion to suspect youi '
patriotism, unworthy servants of a free nation," he ex
claimed, "nor shall you escape the penalty you have in- i
curred ; but since you are willing to see the camp-ground !
of a republican army soiled by the feet of a slave of des- I
potisin, bring the Austrian before ine, and I will show j
you how the representative of a free people receives the '
envoy of a tyrant."
A superior officer of the Austrian army was then intro
duced with the usual formalities observed on such occa
sions. He was the bearer of proposals for the surrender of
Charleroi?a most unhoped-for piece of good fortune for
the French army, which the reckless Proconsul had forced
to cross the Sambre, and take up its present portion in a
state of entire inefficiency, either as to numbers of mate
rial for the achievement of the purpose he had in view.
The moment, however, that the Austrian presented to
the General the papers containing the conditions upon
which it was proposed that the fortress should capitulate,
St. Just snatched thetn brutally from his hand, tore them
to pieces, and trampled them under his feet; then, wa
ving his hand with an insolent gesture towards the city,
he said to the envoy : " Slave ' go back to your master,
and tell him I want neither papers nor messages from
hiin ; I am here to take possession of Charleroi, and he
must surrender it at once without conditions, or his hljod,
and the blood of all who dwell therein, be on his head."
In vain was ail remonstrance ; in vain did Charbonnier
and his officers represent to the infuriated Proconsul that
they were without the necessary material to carry on the
siege with efficiency ; that the soldiers were without
pay, ill clad, and almost without provisions ; that, for
lack proper camp equi|>age, the army was exposed to
the inclemency of the weather in a damp and unhealthy
marsh, and that sickness was already thinning the ranks
at a fearful rale In vain did they assure him that if the
Dutch and German forces, which were on their march to
relieve Charleroi, should arrive befote the city was taki n,
not only would its capture be im[KMRible, but the very
existence of the French division he jeoparded by the
vast numerical superiority of the enemy. No consideration
could move the wilful obstinacy of St. Just: he ordered
the Austnanaway from the camp, and, as the only answer
to the remonstrances of the General, gave directions that a
battery of heavy motars should be immediately planted
behind the foremost trenched If this whs not in position
and ready to bombard the city by break of day on the
morrow, he swore he would have the commander-in
chief, the general of artillery, and the chief of the^cn
gineers, shot before the eyes of the army.
The ferocious character of St. Just was too well
known to admit of any doubt that he would carry into
execution his sanguinary threat, if his orders were not
obeyed to the letter; and incredible efforts were made to
comply with his requisition Innumerable artificers were
set to work to place the damaged and wayworn park
of artillery into the highest state of efficiency of which
it was capable. The country for leagues around was
ransacked for pick axes, shovels, and other tools for the
completion of the trenches and the construction of the
batteries. The superintendence of the works was com
mitted to Captain de Meras, an old artillery officer of
great merit and experience, who, it was not doubted,
would carry out his instructions, if it was in the range of
possibilities to do so IV Meras was an ancient cheva
lier of the proscribed order of St. l<ouis, whose ardent
love of country had recalled him to her banners, al
j though the dynasty which he had served with so much
devotion in his youth had crumbier! before the rude at
taint of republicanism, and he, with numbers of his
friends and compatriots in arms, hai been driven into
poverty and exile, degraded from their rank and despoiled
of their wealth and honors Joining the republican army
as soon as (he first hostile fool had pressed the soil of
France, the gallant old chevalier had been awarded a
grade which, however inferior to that which he had for
merly filled, or to that which his proficiency in the mili
tary ait entitled him to, soon enabled him, by the exhibi
tion of courage unsurpassed nnd skill unequalled in its
ranks, to command the confidence of his superiors and to
acquire the respect and affection of his men
it was nightfall before a sufficient quantity of mining
| utensils had been collected ; and while these were being
: transported in wagons to the advanced works where l>e
Meras and his detachment were already posted, they wrre
intercepted by a reconnoitring party from the fortress, and
taken Patiently during the night did the old chevalier
and his gallant band persevere, with their few tools unil
I inefficient force, in the prosecution of their work, and
eagerly and anxiously did they look for the additional
supply of utensils and men which were to enable them
to complet'- their undertakirig Morning dawned, and
neither relief nor assistance came ; hut in their place ap
t peared the fierce Proconsul, who had arisen before the
break of day, and came to be assured that his orders had
been obeyed, or to exact the fearful penalty h? hail threat
ened.
In vain was the misfortune which hail befallen the re
lief party explained to him ?in vain was the impossibility
of executing the work without additional men and uten
sils represented to him St Just was inexorable ; his sup
pressed fury seemed to have concentrate I itself into a
blood-thirsty and cruel purpose of revenge against tht gal
Ittiit old offii er who commanded the detachment. He or
dered De Mrras (O be shot upou thu spot, and, as if to
aggnvate the severity of his sentence, he called upou
a platoon of his own artillerymen to execute his
bloody sentence upou their captain. The lncu ap
peared to waver for a moment; for one instant the
'em of discipline irstiaiued them, but in the next a
hundred muskets were levelled at the heart of the
Pioconsul. The tyrant trembled and turned pale?a
word, a look, a motion from the chevalier .and the ran
gun.my wiftcli would have been swept into eternity by
a hail storm of lead and tire; but L)e Meras threw hun
self before him : at the word of command Ins men brought
their pieces to the shoulder, and St. Just, taking advantage
of the rteetuehn of his horae, placed himself out of gun
shot as quickly as possible.
Scuu ely had the Proconsul reached the camp before
an order was despaiclied for l)e IVleras to appear before
him. His men conjured him to fly, 0r at least to refuse
obedience to the summons, pledging their lives to perish
before they suirendeted him ; but the chevalier, pointing
to the Hag of his country, exclaimed, "Think you so ill
of me as to suppose that the fear of death in any form
will induce me to desert those colois, or, worse, array
m>sell against them !" They would have accompanied
him, swearing to make a rampart about him with their
bodies ; hut he appealed to their sense of duty and of dis
cipline, and leit them, directing his second in command
to keep them in position till relieved by orders from the
cauip.
Hut a short time elapsed after De Meras had arrived
at headquarters before a volley of musketry was heard.
The faithful artillery men could no longer be restrained ;
they rushed in mass to the tent of the representative, but
only in time t;> see the body of their brave old captain,
pierced by a dozen ''alls, still writhing in the agonies ol
death. Transported with rage, uttering cries of ven
geance, they overthrew every obstacle and sought St.
Just throughout the camp : it was too late ; the monster
had escaped in time, and nothing was seen of him but his
form on horseback, disappearing on the margin of a
plain of great extent.
The vengeance of these braves, however, would only
have been deferred, not lost, had not Heaven decreed a
death more infamous than they contemplated as a penalty
for such deeds of infamy. As might have been fore
seen, however, the army of the Moselle, a victim to the
rashness and incapacity of St. Just, was obliged lo raise
the siege of Charleroi by the advance of the united forces
of Kaunitz anil the Prince of Orange. Overpower
ed by numbers, the French recrossed the Sambre,
leaving pait of their artillery and a great number of
prisoners in the hands of the euemy Uniting with the
corps which Jourdan led to their assistance, they formed
the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, which, under the
command of that marshal, performed such glorious feats
of arms.
After a considerable length of time, St. Just made his
appearance in his old capacity of commissioner at the
headquaiters of this army. Apparently, he had no ap
prehension of meeting the old ailillerymeu of the unfor
tunate De Meras; but they had not forgotten him. One
day, when visiting ihj; outposts, surrounded by a numer
ous escort, from a coppice near at hand, arose a furious
cry of "l>eath to the assassin !" accompanied by a shower
of balls, which strewed the ground with numbers of
innocent victims, but left the terrified Proconsul un
harmed. He lied to Paris, escaping from the musketry
of the artillerymen only to lose his head with Robes
pierre and his companions upon the scaffold. H.
