Mr. Pond said, when the proposition fur te'icmh- i
i - i t was under (:ousidei .lien line in 1-JS, the
. nds ol Air. Adams, by way oi proving that he ami
y desired every just economy and lefonn, point
ed to Ins A! ess-age i (-commending it. I low were they {
•.wired? Why, sir. Mr. I nghem, who soon alter-j
rds was m ale Jth-ereiary ol the Treasury, said it
"its indeed true that the .Message did i commend it, i
! a: Ite wanted to is<-e more prat lice and less proles-1
•a in this mat'd*. There were no specified reforms I
1 in the .Message; lie could only find there one ;

i juire. Put, sir, (said lie,) 1 am for looking at the
11 <f.tiers, and not at the precepts ol the parson, po
• cal or religious.”
Mr. Pond -.ud this rule of Mr. Randolph was per
v just ; it w.is thus shown, too, to be avowed by
\dminis!r.itn<n, and he was willing to judge
a by their own rule and thought to this they '
1 :ht not to okject. lie would leave to the
1 and tlie People to say whether the “ prac- I
id this Admiuistiatioii “ had conformed to
1 lerepts.”
M s the recommendation in General Jackson’.
1 filial addii ' s one ol those “ lolly generalities”
spoken ol, and dt lined by Mr. Pntuiolph ? 'The
nit ( abiuei” must have lost the art ol reading,
iwise “ |i tbim” was not quite so “legibly m
ibed” as tin* General imagined. The patronage
the Fe-.t ral Government, whieli was said to be
"Uglil into coidiict with the Ireedom of.Sute clec
,(M,S Inis greatly increa-ed, and i> .-till unrestrained,
‘ the same coidiict.

* • They see, and wc all see, that the oflicc
(,is are ** abroad in the land.” For a description
s growing phalanx, and its powerful incentive
‘-‘ion, I will draw on high authority. A member
Senate, (Mr. Grundy,) a zealous liu ndoi
ral Jackson, the evidence ol which has been al
y given in Ins own words, held this language,
• aiming to pull down the old Admiuistrat.on :
"ben 1 sie, (said he) an office-holder inteiUrmg
•■f lions, it has occurred tome that he wasihink
• I his salary, and is therefore, an unfit adviser ol
I’eople.”
b- Speaker, that which occurred to .Mr. Grundy
doubt often occurred to you at the same period.
“ proposition is a very natural one, and 1 think
recent events have strengthened rather than im
' 1 its truth, mil I beg the huther indulgence ol
1 ■ v. in!-' I read w hat another distinguished
:: 1 "I (ii neral Jackson said, when debaung the

4 " to Mr. IJuchanan, now a Senator from i*cnn
l,,n,;h and with Ins continued and growing devo
!l *° tin: party, what he said will critainly be con
* “oiibodox.” I find by that debate, that lie
’■ 'yas well'known
^ f at when a man is once appointed to office, all

retaining it. The oftice-holdi is (said lie)

tune.”
I Tllis passage or Mr. Huclianan'a sppccli proves
i him to have been an observer of men and thing*, and
I mnliar with the leading principle* of human action.
He dreaded (lie cunsr(|tiences ol the selfish spint id
the office-holder. and induced the country to believe
that (ion. Jackson and In* Irieinl* would provide a
•suitable restraint upon it. Hut I tear, sir, the Pen
| pie will he leti to conclude that tin* gentleman is
j one ol ihose “political parsons” described by Mi.
| Randolph, whoso “practices” do not correspond
with lit* “ piecepls.” It is certain that, under the la
\ 01 ite A thin uist rat ion ol the gentle man and his 11 lends,
! the office holders have receiv’d new life, instead ol a
cloa k. Hut 1 must yet point out anotherdisert pan
t'\ be. ween Mr. I>ttchauan's profession and piaetiee.
Iii the same debate, lie reviewed, wtjh censure,
several ol the foreign missions, th it to Russia me hid
cd ; and particularly condemned any practice al
lowing a minister to “retu ii after one year's ab
sence.” His language is: “It such a piaetiee
should pievail, our ministers in violation ol the spun
t»l the existing law, will receive, by adding the out
fit to the salary, 1H.000. instead of jfW.OOO, for one
year’s service.”—“I a»u,” said he, “against the
practice. ’ Phis, Mr. Speaker, was Ins precept. Hut, ^
sir, ma brief spare ol time, after condemning and
•Sil> nig “ I am against the practice,” we see linn take
I lie bounty. and become one of the “ enlisted sol hers"
" bum he had described, and go on a foreign mi‘->;ou
to Russia, where, after Slaviug “ a twelvemoiuIt ml
a day,” he pockets the “i»|H,0(lf>, instead ol *'.>.000
lor a year’s service,” and conies home !
* Plus seems to be an appropriate tune to compare
the piece p’s and practice of Mr. R mdolph, to* . u ho
said he “ was for looking at the pi u in es, ml imi
the precepts, ol the parson, political or n ligmus.”
In f liit same «Ic bate, Air. Randolph said lie “ i ntild
not permit any motion connected with the division ol
the spoil, to mingle with” his exertions. II * w on Id
not, lie said, give up his constituents ami the plea
sure of his home, “ for a clerkship in the War < Mice,
oi a foreign mission; or even for a Department of
Slate.” lie said, “ there had been an improvemilit
m the plan ol sending ministers abroad, and bring
ing them bnc k, when ihey ha»’e finished the.r Im i
ness; for,” said lie, “ they are now sent Inoad on
sleeveless errands tliat they may cotne back rrinj\ <•/</,
to pocket then emoluments.” Mr. Speaker, the
f 'n eks and Romans both held if to be a highly u-<
Ink but exe«-edingly difficult, matter to know one’s
" II* .Modern 11 is tor v. and our own limes, add new
(nice to the truth ol that position. I d > not ai all
(|uestion the pci feet sincerity of Mr. Randolph,
when lie uttered these sentiments ; but great as lie
may have been, and skilful as he pride- ed to be. and,
no doubt, w as, in the motives < f human action, af
ter events proved how little he knew ol Inmseli > i ,
we soon louml Mr. Randolph giving up htsconstitu
cuts, a: d leaving all the boasted endearments of his
district, for a foreign mission to Russia, when , so
l'ii* as any public advantage resulted from if. he cm
pl atically went on a “sleeveless eirand,” and “came
back t< /uficta, to pocket hi* emoluments !” In
det d, ibis mission to Russia seems to have been sp
ci dly dedicated by “ the party” to short term ; <d m\

Air. I’1 :i i s'aiil it was not to be disgu': e 1 tl. a mat \
ol . he poll'll iail.3 who engaged III tin debate ami
sf i lie ol I lie times to w Ii eh he had alltldi d, h d been
sui j'llsi d, il mil disa | j o in led, by events w bit b -. on
followed. A singular exchange ol position In* ta
ken place between two of these gentlemen. When
the ictiem:liment resolution was discussed, a fi ieml ol
the then Administration, Mr. Pearce, (il Rhode Island,
took ground, not interns but somewhat similar to
that now avowed and practised by the dominant
party, “that the spoils belong to the victors.” Air.
WicMifie, a Jackson reformer, denied and condemn
ed such a right. He was appointed a inembn of
the retrenchment and rcfoiin committee, and, after
(imerul Jiicksnn came into power, Mi. WicUlifl
/.i,alou*lv endeavored to carry out the promised re
Imin ; Inii not limling ihe co operation he had expect
cd, he abjured the party. About this time, it hap
pened that the refonm is avowed the doctrine “ that
the spoils belong to tin* victors,” and Mr. Pearce
enlisted under tlicir banner.
Sir, lias not the country been disappointed ? Have
not the People been deceived and allured by spe
cious and vain promises ? Has not the Federal Kx
ecutive patronage inordinately increased, and is it
not still unrestrained? Is not i lie power over it abus
ed and perverted? Do not the expenses of our
General Government far transcend in amount all our
past history f Why are these things so and why
Ins not this** plague been stayed,” Mr. speaker,
according to your plighted faith ? 1 will tell you
why, sir, but 1 prefer doing so, in the language and
illustration ol otic ol your own friends. Mr. Buchan
an, ol the Senate, to whom 1 have before referred.
In Ins speech here, to which 1 have already alluded,
and when he was assaulting the (then) Admit.istra
tfon, lie thus exclaimed: “ The very possession ol
power has a strong, a natural tendency to cortupt
the heart. The lust of dominion glows with its <
possession; and the man who, in humble life, was
pure, and innocent, and just, has often been nans
formed, by the long possession ol power, into a
monster. In the sacred Book, which contains lessons
of w isdom for the politician as well as for the C'lnis
nan, we find a h ippy illustration ol the corruptn g
influence of power upon the human heart. When
Hazael came to consult Klisha whether Ins master,
the King ol f^yria, would recover from a dangerous
illness, the prophet, looking through tho vista of fu
turity, saw the crimes of which the messenger, who
stood befoie him, would he guilty, and he wept.
H.tzael asked, ‘why weepeth my Imd ?’ The piophet
then recounted to him ttic murders and tin c u
clues of which he should be guilty towardstl.e clnl
chcn of Israel, llnzacl, in the spirit of virtuous in
dignation, replied : * Is thy seivanl a dug, that, he
should do tins thing?’ And Klisha answued
‘ The Hold hath shown me that thou shall be King :
over Syria.’ This man afterwards became King by
the murder of his master, and was guilty cl
enormities, the bare recital of which makes us
shudder.”
How true, and alas! how applicable is this sacred
illustration to those who invoked its u>e in elevating |
themselves to powei !
Suppose, Mr. Speaker, that some inspire ! Klisha
had been present when you and Mr. Buchanan, with
other-, engaged iii the debate which lias been teler
led to, and, moved by the sympathetic te n ol the
prophet, you had asked, “ Why weepeth my lord ?”
how would you have been astonished in being then
told what the People ol this country have since re
alized !
imagine, sir the inspired one looking through the
vista ol a lew brief years, ami saying: \ ou will be
placed hi power, but will greatly increase the
amount ol all public expenditures. You w ill u$»* the
offices and pationage of the country for private
and not for public good. You will cn ate offices
for favorites. , You will enlarge all executive power.
You will deny the right to call for reasons on a remo
val from isifiqe, and in a lew years, will muove more
than 1500 persons from ollice bn opinion's sake !
You will derange and corrupt the Post Office Do

MR. MKNKKKBS SPKKCII.
We publish with pleasure, tlu* subjoined sketch of
the eloquent speech made by that gallant and high
minded Kentuckian, Mr. Mem Terr, on the Treasury
Note Bill, m icply to Mr. Illicit, ol S. (‘aroliua.
—The sketch was prep ued by tlie Washington Cor
respondent of tlic Baltimore Patriot. Mr. Illicit is
“ used up.*’
He did not rise, he said, to debate then the merits
of the question ; but on the first instant to icheve it.
simply and m a few wolds, from tin* late false posi
tion m which the gentleman fioni S. < '. (All.
Ubett) had, in the speech just dchveied sought to
place it.
Sir, said he, that was a most surprising speech. I
What does the gentleman mean / Hoes he intend
mum t / lie must have so intended. Sir, does]
he forget that that ingredient ha* heeii so freely and i
indiscriminately employed in the same quarter j
win nee it now proceeds, that, though clothed in its {
accustomed thunder, it no longei inspires terror ;—
scan' Is excites notice. It is at length become, sir,
a regular exhibition, which all expi ct, none regard.
But, sir, win nee this present volcanic eruption
whose ll.ime a d smoke so sublimely mingle with the
ihuudei and lightning of tins new menace ? Tin* ]
i use that produce* n is about as potent as the cl ;
Icct. Wliat is it, sir !
The* (luvernment, by a series of financial disas- ,
leis, w Inch popular opinion ascribes to a series ol
financial enormities ol the Administration; has in
formed the House (what it knew before,) that the
Treasury is iu much exigency, ami recommended
the e irlv adoption of me inures lor its relief. Well,
s;r, tin. House, whose peculiar piovn.ee it is to ori
ginate measmes «jf this kind,is satisfied tin t such exi
gency does exist ; and, without distinction of par
lies, proclaims a readiness and del« rmmaiioii to fur
nish the supplies required, and to proceed, at once,
to the consideration ol the must pinprr manner of
raising them. Th t they must he raised m some
manner, is admitted on all sub s; the most appropn
iate manner of doing it is the only question.
The Executive, sir, as n was Ins right to do, has
/ </, as most apj t opi iate, a loan ot ten mil
lions of dollars.— I i i* 1 louse is ol the same opinion.
—The Executive, however, purposes an indirect loan
l>v an issue ol Trcasuiy notes, (ienliciiicn in ilia
opposition suggest a direct loan, in the ordinary
form, They i* sisl the loan which the President
proposes, on the ground that, in the view ol the
t ’oustitiition, it is no loan ; that the proposed notes
arc meant for emulation, are paper money, are bills
uf Credit ; that in employing the credit ol iheHov
ernmcut to raise money, Congress is limited by the
Constitution to “ boitowiug” simply, no qualuty ol
I which exists i n the proposed issues, which is but I he;
i omuion instance of a creditor apply mg for payment,
I and the debtor, for want ol money, liquidates the
debt by a note on time, and and that for these and o
! ther insurmountable objections, that manner ol rais
ing supplies simuld not be resort* d to. In all which
I certainly agree. A plain man, l think, would d s
• cover nothing very objectionable m all tins. But,
I >ir, how does the gentleman irotu .South Carolina
regard it?
I Wliy, sir, that g< mletnau look-, not to these, or »
