In addition, we hire had n substai.ee tlie opi.ti m
of enlightened men in favor of this pow# i.
Mf. Jefferson, m Ins letter to (»ov. M» Kean, and
in h<s Cimifar issued att»»r his ebettou, unques
tionably advances the opinion that th«se officer*
ought rot to interfere tti elections, and il they do,
they ought to b« reiifbve I.
The question then recur#, who can rrmovi
them ?—Answer—the President. Why ? A»»s.—
Because Cong test, by statute, has given |>owrr lo
remove them at pleasure.
Mr. Buchanan, cd Pennsylvania, when advocating
the propriety *d limiting Kxecuiivs patronage and
power, spoke of these officers as the enlisted soldiers
of the President, and willing to do his bidding.
# The present Attorney Genet.il said they wrtr
most unsafe advisers in elections, because when ad
vising, thev were tbii.king ol then offices, and how
to earn bread on which to live.
Mr. Benton's repotl in 1826, and Mr. t'alhouu •
in 1834_5, tend io establish the doctrine tint tins
practice was a source ofgrc.it mischief, mid ought
to be corrected by legislation.
In 1829, the laic Chief Magistrate spoke nf it in
terms not to be misunderstood, a« inscribed pmini '
nenttv on the list ol Executive duties, to prevent this
k md of int# cr< nee in r’eclions. 1 low could lie pi event
it ? As Mr. Jeffeison did, hy miioviiig the offending 1
officer. H w did h- gel the power ? Congress ,
gave it to him by statute. W hy, then, c innol ( "ti
gress make it Ins duly to exert this power wliciicv
rr a case occurs, and not leave it to his discietioii ? 1
It appears very cleatly to me it can.
It is s.»id this is a bill, '* twiu brother if I lie
Alien and Sedition law."
Never was them a greater mistake. The Sedition
law prevent* d a man not in office lion* speaking Ins j
sentiments respecting nutjjhr holder. Thu bill w.i»
to prevent the ijficc holdcr from s< hoolmg the com
limn c it ijfcen.nol m ollii e, A teac lung Inin how to vote.
Fcdtiul doctrines, then, MiM.umd ihn Alien and
Sedition laws, and thereby give the office-holder
wn ascendancy over the people ; ami upon the same ,
docttii.es, and (or the same reasons, they oppose '
Mr. Criltetidc n’« bill.
If this be not so, why did they vote gainst Rives’
amendment, wInch w as in exact couloiinity w nil Mr.
Jeffeisou's Oicul »r ?
This is not all—another diMingni Imd statesman.
T)e Witt Clinton, in addressing Ins Legislature, I
complained ol Federal intcifercm c. At that d >y, i
no friends of the then Administration, dared to
come forward and avow l hey had so lute» h I ed, nml at
tempt to justify the act. In those purr i daysol the
Republic, all they could do to save themselves 1
ftoiti public odium, was to deny the ch.ngc, and put
the Oovrtnift upon ll t* proof, and, a . Mi. Adams |
would say, because the charge w is not provtubla in i
court, they were a< quilted <n public op moil.
Now, strange a* it really may nppr.tr, the inter- !
ferente ol th s class i I officers is openly justified l»v 1
the Admiuistrat on, and it is insisted, they not only
have the right. Imt it is then duty to inteifeie and
teach the common people how to vote, hccause, be
ing in office, thev are better judges who ought to be
elected. This doc lime I consider inwr.il treason n- ,
gainst Democracy itself; vet these same persons in
sist they me exclusively the Democrat* ui this hcvui
ed country.
In another point o! view thin Hill, il p osed, w ouM
have been highly important. Ii would have made
this class ol office holders free men on the days ol
election. Kadi one could have g*»ne lo the | oils
anil voted nccoidmg to Ink own judgment, where .m
cow, he is not only obliged to vou as the Piettldeul
wishes, but he must eleciioucer, and be taxed as the
party wishes, or be turned out ( I office, ai d his
family deprived of thei daily bread. I wished llte»e
Tools taken «»ut ol the hands of the Kxeiutive. I
willed ti c e n 11lit talrd and made lire, f sec lat
teily one of my friends, pcilmps myself |i,.s

this charge may relate to c.i nucip 'ting people < I
color by Feder.d potv er, the charge is ut e» I v gi mi ml
less : but I am a iftided advocate for abolishing that 1
species ol s'a very am mg the ichi ci which now < x
isti, and is imposed ly a paiiy, which furuishrs the
loont iutolerant and cruel ,\| v.iers in the name ol
Democrat*. \\ hieli ol us in 18-Mi, 7 or 8, w hen we
were so too illy complaining «.t the inlet lei encc i I 1.x
fcutive « ffieeis in our tlrchoiifl, dreamed ih i ffi*
* on Id live to see J h day when it would be Advanced*'
as the J «K kson Democratic i reed, that sueli comlin I
was not only justifiable, but that these officer* wtiv
hi the discharge ol high duties to their more ignot mi
follow men ! For my «!f, I must say, I could sooner
have believed that I would set; the elder Mr. Adams
•her a retu i reel ion, and hear him advocating such a
doctrine, than to w hues* n coming fiom any man'
professing the Jac kson creed.
I pas* on to say something i f the Kxpcndituie* '
of the Uovernmriit.
When Mr. Adams went out of office, our expen
ditures amounted only to (root twelve to lliniecii
millions ot dull,its pei annum, nnd the whole p.iriy
then Ciicd out waste anti extravagante—we iniisi have
retrenchment and reform ; and now we have, accor
ding to the Message of the President at the Iasi
session, an cxpmdituie of Forty .Milhous ol Dul
Inrs.
II. w has ih.a come io pass! I answer fearlessly
— hy bad management in out Fcdeial Agents.
n.e party now m power deliver long and w hole
some lectuies on the value and necessity o| economy,
and pi act ice the most shameful and t xtrnvug.ini w asli
in ilit tr expenditUM s.
It is useless to piraeh about the Value of leirench
inen! nnd reform, unless the Aduunisliaitoii will
specify some brant Ii ot the Public service whereie
iluctiun can be made. Mas it ever been recum
mended lo reduce the nu nber «>t officers in any ol
the drpnitmeuts, oi to reduce the salaries ! .Nh ;it
all. The press is constantly for more officers nnd
higher silanes. One great Vault I find with this
sdmitiislraiion is a warn ol candor and sinectity. Ii
more officers and higher salaries and laiget i \pcu
ditures aie necessary, let tlx m conic out and tell the
people 90 and lake the responsibility. This is tint
the course; the President does not adopt this course.
At the commencement of a session of Congiess the
Secretary of the Treasury funishes his estimate for
the service of the year, and when the appropriations
exceed this estimate, the Administration is ex
cused hy throwing the blame upon Congress, for
appropriating much larger sums than those called
for in the estimate. This is most unfair. If the
Administration has a majority m either I?i inc h ol
Congress it ran always vole down any Hill it chooses.
Sioce the session of 1^34—6, the Administration
has had a masterly majority in the Senate, and also
in the House except on the Sub-Treasury quc.*
lion. In February. 1835, when the Jackson Ad
ministration was attacked, I defended him on the
ground (hat in reality he had had no majority in
either House. That defence was founded m it nth,
as 1 believe, up to that time : but could never be
* made afterwards.
Again—although the Secretary's estimate is made
and furnished, every member at the head of any im
portant Committee very well knows,that altt iwards
and during the same session the different Depart
ments apply again and again to have additional
appropriations made, otherwise the Public service
must suffer. The additions are constantly made
in the shape of antendinen's.

JBjL1- ” *ll*e ol llie Committee on Indian
Aflitit, atreaty with tome of the India ,a was ran I
ned late in the session, which stipulated a payment '
or one million two or three hundred thousand dol- I
Jars, lhe Secretary of War sent to me, as chair
inan of the Committer, an estimate of the amount
necessary to comply with the treaty, and requested
me to Usee some appropriation 1J,|I amended, so as
to grant the sum required. With the consent of the
Committee I complied will) the request, and this
happening just at ihe time it was desirable wiili the
Executive to li sten my reputaiion, the fust thing I
sow io Ibe government paper the next morning after
Congress adjourned was an titlark on me and my
Committee, for bavmg this extravagant appiopria
lioo made. 1 1
I otn willing in suppose matter has sometimes ap
peared io that paper, which the Executive did nut
approve; yet 1 believe nothing is ever inserted,
which ihe Editors do not knew or believe will be
acceptable.
I mention these things to show whai is ihe prac
-ric«, and that for most of the appropriations for gen
eral objects, the Executive is, and ought to be, as
mocb responsible as if they were called for tu the
Preside m's Messages.

Anyol you may guess inyoin minds the amoiin'.and
then I will tell you. I h ive the amouiit in answer in

been greatly extended and much ol the Public mo

Muring the rcssion of Congress hefmc the last,
upon a reprcsentatii ii limn the War Dep irtmerit,
that many ol the Indians temnved West of the Mis
simsippi as well assume o| the indigenous tribes must
*ulh r fur provision*, an I by ptm tiring supplies un
lawfully, the pcaee ol the country would be rmlau
gered unless (’nngrtss made an appropriation to ir
lievc their wants, one hundred and lift\ thousand
doll ns was apprnpiiatcd and placed at the discretion
nl I he 1 >epai l meof.
M v idea was, that t1 e Agents of the respective
ti lies, through their Chiels, would asceitam the
probable amount needed by each, and that corn
or other bread mull* w.»tild be puichascd, and ihe
neresKniy supplies alio.lied at little or no additional
expense.
I he Sccrrt.u v iliiected the Commissioner of Mi
di in A (loirs lo di vise a plan lor furnishing tins chit
iiy.
He recommends the appoinlmei i of A cents, also
much per day. to go into each Nation, and einoll all
the paupers, black and red, distinguishing in each
case, whether over or under fourteen years of age ;
next, agents of purchases at so much per day ;_then.
in each l ribe* an issuing Commi-sary, to be placed
upon daily pay , who should monthly, or oftener, is
sue a lull ration to each Indian or Negro over four*
teen, and a hall ration to each under fourteen years ol
age.
I made a calculation and satisfied myself, that,
under tins system, to hi mis h the pauper one grain ol
corn, you would i xpend among the different agents
to be employed, the value ut at least thirty-nine
grain*.
Besides all this, rations, suitable fur soldiers, are
entirely unsuited to Indian habits, and will infallibly
produce disease, especially among the younger In
diaiiM. It would be more charitable, by far, to fur
| nisli a little corn, and let each manage it in hommony
! according to their own customs.
I'l ]nj7, alier the l».inks li.nl RiispondtM] specie
payments, a circular was addressed, by the- t^)m.
imssinner ol Indian Allans, to the A grills ol' differ
enl tribes of Indians, tn whom we were bound bv
treaiy to pay certain annuities, in specie, informing
them that ihe wliuo i llildren ol then Ureal I’ather
had gut all his money, dial ill lu-y would agreed)
receive goods iuslead u(specie, ihe amiuiiies would
be paid ai The usual lime, II not, they could not be
paid. Some of (lie In Mans agreed to receive pond ,
others would not. The ponds were purchased hum
merchants, probably in New York, and to an inqui
ty, in what kind ol luntls the goods weie paid for,the
answer was, that the contract was to pay in notes of
non specie paying Banks, but beloir pay day arrived,
the funds weie withdrawn from tliuse Batiks, and a
huge proportion was paid in drafts on the Land Of
fices, where we know that undet the specie circular,
tlirte could be nothing but specie.
1 will now, connected with this subject, give you a
complete specimen of the kind of tibirty at thought
and ol speech allowed to inferior officers, by these
lordly, sell-styled Democrats.
Among others, such a circular as I have mcntion
i ed. was addressed to the Ageut of the Creeks West
ol die Mississippi, and he was instructed to use his
I'fluenc* wuh the Indians, to endeavor to induce
them to uke goods in place of money. He writes
lo Ins supnior, that he had submitied ihe proposi

kind fall far short of covering the whole ground.
'1'h i* «*• is a great error on I Ilia subject, which I have
nof semi any w here adverted lo, nr explained. The
representation made by the friend* of the Adminis
tration i*. that we have paid up the lull consideration

w e have made Tieaiie*. Thi»*iH outeirue. In seve
ial instances where the stipulations are lo vest large
sums in stocks for Kdticaiion, and other purposes,
which stocks shall bear an interest not less than live
I>«-r cent., the Administration have knjit and ate now
using the money, and w e ale from year to year, ap
propriating the live per rent, and paying this interest,
and ihiis we ;<ic ciculing a national deb', ol which
the Public seem not at all awaie.
I have always hern opposed to til s. \\ e ought
in justice to ilir Indians, lo vesi this money in good
Stale Stocks, now l In y ar« plumy in mat ket; prose in
ly they may bu exhausted, .in I then il our Tieasu

rough e\a-iitiitilioii into tins I >epuilmeiit. It ought
speedily and iliorotigiily lobe in.ole, and il I am not
greatly mi.siaken, the most gross abuses will be
Ion ml to exist—that at least ten dollars have been
expended, when, under a wise and honest cours .
one dollar would have answered the same purpose.
Another common defence lor the Administration
has been, that abuses have been imide by interior ol
ticeis, without the knowledge of their superiors,
and which it Ins not been m their power lo check.

August, with upward* of one hundod and nine,
lliuuMtnd dollars, having named a Mr. Boyd, who was 1

In iheso cases, the proof is as clear ns tho sun at
noonday, that the Administration knew and connived
at these deliile.atious. And il they he not coriliptilig
precedents m our elections, I am at a loss to con
ceive 111 1 ease which would be of that description.
t >ii subjects ol this kind, (1I10 handling of public
money,) « very Admiinsiraimii will impress its own
eliaractei upon most ol us interior officers. If ihey
find 1 Ik ■re is 10 bo Miict account dnhty, and 110 ex
1 use taken, 1 here w ill he lew defaulters ; but whenever
they find,as they have done, that it w ill end in a few vdo
lineals, and a good Idler or two, certifying they are
good Democrats, and good electionccreis, wo shall
have little save di I.dc itiotiS) to expect Iron* public
officers.
I he truili m, wo are ruining the country by ex
cessive modein politeness ; a public officer purloins
the money ho is paid to handle and take care of,
and d he can only manage to keep enough to give
good dioiM'is, he 13 considered and spoken of as a
kind, good fellow—an uiifotliitiale man—a defaulter
—and ih considered a fit associate and companion
lor our best society.
This is all wrong. Whenever lie is called a thirl,
pointed at as one, and scouted from society because
lit* is dishonest, we shill check (Ins alaimmg and

“ Since the promulgation of the treaty, our camp
has been visited evcij day by large parties ol Indians.

pearance, attended by l£ nr 20 warriors and a ne
gro. lie desired a recapilulaiinn of the trims of
the treaty, and professed liimseh pleased. He laid
down the law to the Indians and ordered them to
nod rsland and obey it. The high opinion enter
taint-d of the ii flnence of this Chief is fully war
ranted by the deference paid hull by his people, and

The interview between Judge KIN,, Commodore

NKW KIM) OF Will: AT.—'The Charlestown.
Va. I'ress says that *\i n« w kind of wheat, ol superi
or quality, and wl inh yields much more abundantly
ih ni any Iniheito raised in th.it county, h is been cut
the present harvest on the larm ol A1 r. John \\ ysong,
near Shepherdstowo. Mi. \V . obtained the seed
from M r. Smnebi ak« r nl Alary land, w ho became in
possession ol a small quantity by accident, two or
three years since. Fioin three bushels and three
pecks sown by Mr. W’.iui ground not the most fa
vorable pari of his f irm for wheat, he will, it is
thought, have a yield of at least 125 bushels—some
competent, judges vav 150 bushels. The heads are
vety large, and tout.no many more grains than the
heads of wheat no* generally grown hi JeHerson
county. It attracts much attention, and is evi lent
ly a new and very superior kind ol wheat, well worthy
the attention «»l fanners. In a favorable season, and
1 and not ti o la voi able to the production of wheat, it is
believed it will a I w ay s yield liom 4 ) (u 50 bushels per
acre.”
Oil the above, the Baltimore American remarks;
W e have received some additional particulate re
specting this new kind of wheat. It is called the
Rock Wheat, from the circumstance, that some two
nr three years ago a single head of wheat, of pecu
liarly largo size and product was seen growing by it
self from the device of a rock in a wheat field. rl lie
head was carefully preserved and the grain sown, and
lioiiiit has been produced the few parcels which
weie sown Li t year by different gentlemen. Two of
these p uceis found their way to Baltimore, and on
account of their rein ukably fine quality ami the ac
company ing assurance of their productive character,
were bought lor seed at the rate of three dollars per
bushel. They were sown in the vicinity ol our city
eat y m October last & we are now enabled to state lite
result ol the experiment . s made bv one n| the gen
tlemen, Air. Joel Vickers. Three and a half acres
• fuel), well prepared ground, have been found to
produce at the rate of Jorly-seien bushels to the acre.
The quality of the grain is excellent, and many ol
the heads were found to contain forty-five grains of
w heat. Although it is admitted that, when the i har
aeter of the land and the f.ivorableness of the season
an; considered, ordinary grain would have produced
a full yield, yet the extiuoidiuary product just stated
in the case nl Air. Vickers, as well as in that quoted
from the Charlestown J’icns, prove that the Rock
11 'heal is a valuable species, and well merits the notice
ol wheat gloweis.
To the editor of the St, Louis Keening Gazette,
Mississippi Kivkr, May 23d, lf*39.
DkarSir:—On my way down the Ohio, l left
the boat at Wheeling, lor the purpose of visiting
Messrs. White anti (Jill’s Mulbriry and Silk estab
lishment, at the beautiful village ol Mount Pleasant,
Jefferson county, Ohio, ten miles from Wheeling.
The country around Mount Pleasant has been a
long while under cultivation, and is principally oc
cupied by friends or (Quakers. Every thing is in
that neat and high state of improvement which you
every wlnie find among this people, where they
have lived a lew years.
I found Messrs. White and (Jill actively enga ed
in forwaiding their opeiatious in the giowth of the
Mulbeiry and the production ol silk. 1 lieu new
locooneiy was inai.v comp e'etj, and the hatching
of the worms in rapid progress. 70,000 were hatch
ed and had commenced feeding On the White mul
beny ; 300,U00 more will complete the hatching of
ilit‘ liist crop. The second crop will consist of Irom
1.500,000 to 2,000.000 worms ; all to be fed on the
While and Dmdola Mulheiry astheir Morus Mul
ticaulis is not vet suffo omtly advancetl lut that pur
pose. They have about 150.000 of the Morus Mul
ticaulis now coming lor.vatd ; part ol which will be
for sale the ensuing fall.
In one room ol the establishment, l found young
ladies reeling from the cocoon. The reel is an im
pi vrd one, by Ms. riiomas White, the proprietor,
and ishc ler adapted to the business than any one I
have vet st en. Our c mnot avoid a feeling of aston
ishment as lo hcholds the rapidity with which this
hair like web of.silk is wuiind or unwound from the
numerous cocoons which are attached at the same
lime to one m l.
In the other room the looms were go ng up. One
was in le.idmess to weave a web ol Mlk velvet. The
stipei intending weaver is a man of great dexterity
in the art. He wove at Economy, near Pittsburg,
from A in cl ic a u Silk. the beaiildui vest that was late
ly presented to Kx-lJovernor Kitner and which has
been so justly extolled by the American Press. His
•mu, bel;»ie leaving England, wove the beautiful
d/iss which was worn by (£ueen Adelaide on ceitnm
occasions, and which contained fifty yards ! I saw
a sample ol it. You would pronounce it one of the
finest specimens of embroidery you ever saw; and
yet it was woven in a loom like tii.it used for weav
ing 'I nrkey carp ’ts. 'I he colors of the flowers are
beautifully arrange d, a ml pioduce su< h an effect, that
you cannot divest youiseif of the idea that they are
the latest specimens of Chinese needle work.
I confess that liout a skeptic in the utility of the
silk manufacture in America, I am converted to the
belief that it will at »o distant time become tine of
our most impoit.int blanches of industry. It is ve
ry lucrative; not laborious; and can be carried on
with the labor of almost all ages and both seies.—
And if one occupat ion may be considered mine gen
teel than another, this is one in which the most fas
tidious w ill not object to engage.
VICKSRTR(J RANK.—On Monday noon a
gieeable to public noti.ee, the Stockholders of the
Vicksburg Rank in Philadelphia, assembled in a
room of the Merchant's Exchange.

W. A. Dobbyn, Esq, appointed Secretary.
Messrs. A. \V. Mitchell, and S. II. Carpenter,

Philadelphia to proceed to Vicksburg and examine
into the state of the Rank, made a report, which, on

holders, whenever they should bo ready to report.

itng the absence (in England we believe) of Mr.
Bobbins, the present Cashier, yet it is confidently
believed, that under Ins immediate superintendence,
which wil^be hereafter constant, every act will he
tit conformity with established Hank usage.
I hat there ate needed in the institution the ser
