Description and Performances.—Lance is ofaheauti
lul blood bay color, with remarkably black legs, mane and
tail, wdhout any white, upwards of five feet two and a
hall inches high, ten years old hut Spring, of a fine body,
very lull in his muscles, and most beautifully formed in
all particulars, with an activity and spirit not surpassed by
any horse whatever.
His performances on tho Turf, have been of tho first
order. \\ hen only threo years old, ho run two match
races of $5000 each, four mile heats, with 12<> lbs. on him;
one ot which tic won and tho w*iit.i i.o lust, tho weight be
ing so heavy and the distance so long for a colt, lie siis.
tained an injury in one of his legs, and was obliged to be
rested lor some time ; alter which he beat Fafrfa*. and
distanced Hazard, Hagcllator, and one other, three miles
heats, over the Union Course, Long Island; and his last
race ol lour mile heats over the same course aeainst Sally
" alker and Janet, in which ho took the first heat, and run
second to Sally Walker in tho third heat, in quick time,
beating the celebrated Janet, full sister to Sir Charles,
allows him to be a race horse of tho first character, as Sal
ly Walker the same year did not lose a single heat to any
other horse, beating all the best horses from the Southern
States, among them Ariel, full sister to Lance, well known
in Virginia as a formidable racer; and what speaks highest
of Lance, is his family. Ariel, Splendid, Roman, Ange
linc, and O’Kelly, arc all from Lance’s dam, and have all
been winners. WILLIAM R. JOHNSON.
Certificate.—We, the undersigned, do certify that the
hay horse Lance, the property of Samuel Laird of Mon
mouth County, State ol New Jersey,is a sure foal-getter,
we having bred from him, and find his colts promising.

I have the original certificate of the blood ol Lance from
Charles Henry Hall of New York, which would do credit
to any horse, but as the Pedigree is lengthy, it would
swell this notice beyond the usual limits, and is therefore,
omitted; but all the original letters, certificates, &c. arc
in my possession, and 1 will shew them with pleasure to
any person who inay wish to see them. As 1 feel sa

themselves. WILLIAM W. HURT.

next, cotnincncu operations in his line of business, for the

until the last day ol July. Sanclio is no stranger, and it is
the general impression ofall who know, have seen, or heard
of him, that no Jack has given more general and satisfac
tory evidence ol capacity in office—none more generally
or better approved—and that his colts are surpassed by
none lor size, shape, vigor, docility, tractability, hardiness
or number.
Napoleon, who was raised by Col. S. Leake, of Gooch
land, is a beautiful Muck bay, well made, compact, close
bodied, large bone, muscular horse, about five feet two
inches high, needs only to be seen to be admired, oidy to
be rode to be delighted with. It is attested by all who
know him, that ho has already, young as lie is, proven
himself a sure foal-getlcr.—No horse possesses, in a higher
degree, the merits and qualities requisite to recommend
and entitle him to the approbation ami patronage of every
judge of horse-flesh, who may wish to possess the best of
gear and saddle horses in the same skin. His rank, as to
blood, is inferior to none, hut those called race-horses, that
have proven themselves upon the turf, worthy of that dis

HE noted mid very superior horse Janus, has
more of the blood of old Janus (his g. groat

Mark Anthony, Jolly Roger, and the imported
i initio Bonny Lass, with another cross ot Janus—and
through his great grand dam, he derives his descent from
Morton s 1 ravellkr and Janus, lie is ten years
Janus was trained by Win. R. Johnson, Esquire, to
whom reference may bo had for the character of the
horse. He won several times—among others at Tree llill,
when Gen. La I' ayette was there—but altlio’ a real racer,
with great speed, he was a very unlucky one—sometimes
being beat, when he had won a heat, by contending each
heat with a fresh horse. He beat the far-famed IlKNnv
competitor ol Eclipse, the two first heats out of five, of
one utile each, the best three in five; and could lie have
been kept back, so ns to throw away a heat, it U believed
that he would have won the rare. [Such was the opinion
(among others) of that model of the Old Virginia Planter
and Sportsman, the lato Edmund Irby, Esqulre.l Rut
in this, and in soino other instances, his ungovernable tem
per caused his defeat. He is without blemish. The pub
lic arc referred lor his character as a stallion, to the Rev
Robert Hurt of Halifax, who kept him (wo seasons, and
to Mr. Cardwell, Inn-keeper at Charlotte C. H., who kept
him last season, and to all who have bred bom him. Mr.
Randolph’s two best foals (Yellow Jacket and Push
pi nI dropped In his extensive stud last year, were both
got by Janus; the first out of Young Frenzy, and the last
out ol an own sister to Roanoke. For the character of
Janus, the public is referred to Mr. James C. Dickinson of
Louisa, who kept him the last season that ho was farmed
out, [1830.]
Janus at sixty dollars and one dollar to tho
(.room; forty dollars tho leap, to bo paid at the
staple door, before the mare is led away; and one
hundred dollars insuranue; tin* money to be paid
wlien the mare is covered and to bo refunded in case the
inarc shall not prove in foal: provided the marc shall have
been fairly treated and not parted from by the insurer with
in that time. Marcs that slip their loals from ill treatment
disease, or accident, not entitled to recover the insurance
money. Any mare not proving in foal shall be covered
next season, gratis, by Janus or Gascoigne, at the option ol
the proprietor. 1 he winner or breeder of a winner of a plate
of not less value than five hundred dollars, shall also be
covered gratis. 1 ho prico of the season may be dis
charged by the payment ol forty dollars before the expira
tion thereof. It will commence at the date hereof, Valen
tine s Hay, and terminate on tho first day of July.
The following very imperfect account of his performan
ces as a racer was furnished by Mr. Aitliur Taylor, who
trained and ran him, uuder the direction of William It
Johnson, Lsq.—
^Mma.icc of Janus on the Turf.-Tl.o spring ho
was J years old he was trained and ran in a sweepstakes
at Lawrenccville, [Brunswick C. II.] mile heats, which
mamhpnm?n “ ,7-™° .hc*U: three started; Mr. Field’s
maie 1 htlhs, and Captain Harrison’s Filley.
.t l.To.a'L‘t'illU5it!‘.al 1,0 was lhro°*1,0 was trained and run
in uiSl mi!s.Us?,t*» iUn
Mr. Hare’s mare Kosette, and Janus. The first and se
cond heat Janus won, and was beaten the third by Sir
Henry, 18 inches: the fourth heat Janus did not contend
for, and was beaten the fifth by Henry, about clear [a
length.] After that race, he went on to Tree Hill (Rich
inond) and run in a sweepstake, two mile heats, which
race he won with great ease at two heats, beating Mr.
Harrison’s Burstall and Mr. Selden’s Filley.
The same autumn, lie won the Jockey Club at Spring
Hill [Moody’s] two mile hcaU: four st ilted; which race
he won with ease.
The spring ho was lour, ho run at Lawrenceville, two
mile heals; lour started: Janus won the first heat, and was
beaten the second not far.. In this race there were four
heats, and Janus contended for every heat, and was not
beaten much the last heal by Auatus [only two or three
l'eet.]
lie went on from thence to New market [Petersburg]
and ran three mile heats, and was beaten by Nancy War
ren.
The autumn that he was four, he ran at New market,
three mile heats, against Betsey Itobertson and Ber
trand, which race Betsey Robertson won. fu that
race Janus got lame, and has not been trained since. [In
fact, he started a lame horse: He fell lame on his travel
from Tree Hill, where lie had the honor to contribute to
the entertainment of General La Fayette during his mas
ter’s absence abroad, by winning the sweepstakes above
named. His speed is incontestiblc, and lie always ran
honest—no bolting, or drawing, or being distance if.]
1 he above statement, with the exception of one or two
verbal corrections, ami the part between brackets, [ ] is
by Arthur Taylor, who trained him, under tho direction
of Win. K. Johnson, Esq.
Pedigree.— He was got by Sir Archy; his dam
Frenzy by Sans Culotte (son of Color) out of a
thorough-bred Medley and Fearnought mare. His grand

which was got by the famous imported horse Othello,
or Black and All Black,by Cuab,out ol M iss Sla- !

Valentino’s Day, Feb. 11, 1S32.
Not being ahlo to procure a stand for Oascoigno on Ids
ow n account, (for no consideration could induce his master
to fahm him,) the proprietor of the horse has been indu
ced, by his thorough confidence in Mr. Wyatt Cardwell,
to permit him to cover at Charlotte C. II.. where he can
often see the horse, and superintend occasionally his own I
marcs, as well as such as may bo sent to him. Profit, ill
will he seen, form • no part of tho object of Gascoigne’s
master. HedoA not expect to clear as much money this ^
season as will pay the horse’s tax and the expense of adver-|
fifing. For, after his own marcs shall have been covered :
and such as lie will receive gratuitously, there will re-!
main very lew vacancies, and those probably will not be fill- j
ed up. flic mares sent to Gascoigne will be kept exclu
sivcly on Mr. Randolph’s Bushy Forest estate, where I
boxes and sheds are erecting for them. The pasturage is
extremely fine—chiefly highland, (although there are ex
tensive low grounds also, which the proprietor deems very '
injurious to horses aflerthe month of June,) very fine, cool
and nover failing streams of water through the enclosures,
which are now sub-dividing with a view of keeping only ;
n very few marcs in each. It is impossible lor them to !
thrive in herds; to say nothing of risk to foals. Mares with :
foals not mixed with tiiijili) mares, and any particularly
vicious or distempered mare will he sent home. Servants 1
boarded gratis, who can see their own mares fed as highly |
as their masters please, at the cost of the corn and charge
of transportation. Mr. Cardwell will attend to the mares |
that are sent to <» iscoigne in like manner as to those sent to !
Janus. The public may place unlimited reliance on bis
fidelity and sagacity.

DEBATE IN THE SENATE,
ON MR. VAN BOREN'S NOMINATION.
REMARKS OK MR. WEHSTER— Oil the SCCOIld day.
Mr. \\ Custer said, in reply lo some remarks of Mr.
i * ORH vth, that it was, in his judgment, a great mistake, to
1 s,,y> that what was now called the American “prf/f/uitfii,”
j originated with Mr. Adams, cither ns President, or Secrc
I tary of State. By tho way, it is singular enough that the
| Aincricun side of this question, is called, in the instructions
I he lore us, a pretension, too long persisted in; but tho JJri
I tish side of it is called a right, too long, and too tenacious
i v> resisted by us. This courteous mode of speaking of
, the claims ol a Ibi-eign Government, and this reproachful
mode ol speaking ol tho claims of our own, is certainly
somewhat novel in diplomacy. But, whether it be called,
respectfully, a claim, or reproachlully, a pretension, it did
not originate with Mr. Adams. It had a much earlier ori
gin. I his "pretension,” now nhondoned, with so much
| sc*rn» or this claim, said, reproachfully, to have been first
| set up by the late Administration, originated with George
Washington. Ho put his own hand to it. lie insisted
! on it; und lie would not treat with England, on the subject
| of the colonial trade, without considering it:
In his instructions to Mr. Morris, under his own hand,
j in October, I78il, President Washington says—'"Let it be
strongly impressed on your mind, that the privilege of
carrying our productions, in our vessels,to their islands,
and bringing in return the productions of those islands
to our own ports and markets, is regarded here as of tl,e
highest importance; und you will be careful not to coun
tenance any idea of our dispensing with it in a treaty.
Ascertain, (/ possible, their views on this subject; for it
WOULD NOT UE EXPEDIENT TO COMMENCE NEGOTIA
TIONS WITHOUT PREVIOUSLY HAVING COOD REA
SONS TO EXPECT A SATISFACTORY TERMINATION OF
Til CM.”
Observe, Sir, that President Washington, in these in
sructions, it not speaking of tho empty and futile right of
sending our own vessels, without cargoes, to the Hritish
" est lotlie®; hut lie is speaking of the substantial right of
carrying ouruwnproducfs to the islands for sale & consump
tion there. And whether these products were shut out by
positive act of Parliament, or by a tariff of duties, abso
lutely and necessarily prohibitory, could make no difle
rcnce. The object was to provide, by treaty, if it could
be done, that our products should find" their way, ctrcctu
dly and profitably, into the markets of the Hritish West In
lies. This was General Washiugtons’s object. This was
he^pretension” which he set up.
It is well known, sir, that no satisfactory arrangement
vas made in General Washington’s time, rcspectin°' out
fade with the British West Indies. Hut tho breaking
mt ot tlie French Revolution, and the wars which it oc
casioned, were causes which, of themselves, opened the
ports of tho W est Indies. During the long continuance
)fthose wars, our own vessels, with cargoesol our products
bund their way into the British West India Islands under a
>rac(ical relaxation ol the Hritish Colonial system. While
his condition ol things lasted, we did very well without a
larticulartrcuty. Hut when the European wars, and our
.var, all ceased, then Great Hritain returned to her
ortner system; then the islands became shut against us*
"id then it became necessary to treat on the subject!
Vnd,Sir, we proposed to treat; our ministers were, suc
icssively, instructed to treat, frptn that time forward. And
Sir, I undertake to say, that neither Mr. Madison, who
a as than President, nor his successor, Mr. Monro, gave
iny authority or permission to any American Minister to
abandon this pretension, and give it up, or even to waive
it. or Dostoonc it. and making a treaty .without providing
think, il wo look through papers which have been sent to
tlie Senate, that, under Mr. Madison’s Administration, our
Afinister in England was fully instructed on this subject,
and expected lo press it. And ns to Mr. Monroe, [ have
means of i» ing informed, in a manner not liable to mis
take, that he was, on this subject, always immoveable.—
Ho would not negotiate without treating on this branch of
the trade : nor did I ever understand, that, in regard to
this matter, there was any dillerencc of opinion whatever,
»mong the gentlemen who composed Mr. Monroe’s Cabi
net. Mr. Adams, as Secretary of State, wrote the des
patches and the instructions; but the policy was the poli
cy of the whole Administration, as far ns 1 ever under
stood. Certain it is, it was the settled and determined po
lity of Mr. Monroe himself. Indeed, Sir, so far is it from
being true tli.it this pretension originated with Mr. Ad
ams, that il was in his Administration that, lor the first
time, permission was given, under very peculiar circuinstan
ees, and with restrictions, to negotiate a treaty, waiving
this part of tho question. This has been already alluded
to, and fully explained, by the honorable member from
Kentucky.
So, then, Sir, this pretension, asserted in the instructions
to have been lint set up by the lute Administration, is
shown toliuve had President Washington for its author,
and to have received the countenance of every President,
who had occasion to act on the subject, from 17SJ), down to
the time of the present Administration.
But this is not all. Congress itsell has saucioncd this
same "pretension." The act of the 1st of March, 1823,
makes it an express condition, upon which, and upon which
alone, our ports shall be opened to Hritish vessels and car
goes from the West Indies, outlie same duties as our ves
sels and cargoes; that our products should be admitted
into those islands, without paying any other or higher
duties than shall be paid on similar productions coming
from elsewhere. All this will be seen by reference to the
third section of that act. Now, remember, Sir, that this
act of Congress passed in March, 1823,4>vo years before
the commencement of Mr. Adams’ administration. The
act originated in the Senate. The honorable Senator from
Md., who has spoken on this subject today, (Mr. Smith,)
was then a member ol the Senate, and too!, partin the dis
cussion ol this very bill; amt he supported it and voted for it.
It passed both Houses, without material opposition in
citlicr. Now, Sir, how is it possible, after referring to (his
law of 1823, to find any apology lor the assertion contained
in these instructions, Unit this claim is a pretension first set
up by Mr. Adams’ administration?’’ How is it possible
that this law could have been overlooked, or not remember
ed? In short, Sir, with any tolerable acquaintance w ith
the history ol the negotiations of the United States, or their
legislation, how are we to account for it, that such an as
sertion as these instructions contain, should havo found its
way into them?
Hilt thi! lioni*riil)lc member from (icorgia auk*, why we
lay all this to the charge of the Secretary, anil not to tho
charge of the President? The answer is, the President’s
conduct is not before us. We arc not ,aml cannot become his
accusers, even i( wo thought there were any thing in his
conduct which gave cause for accusation, mil the Secre
tary is before us. Not brought before us by any act ot
ours—he is placed before us by (he President’s nomina
tion. On that nomination we cannot dcrlino to act. Wo
must cither confirm or reject it. As to the notion that the !
Secretary of State was but tire instrument of the Presi
dent, and so not responsible for these instructions, I reject,
at once, all such defence, excuse, or apology, er whatever
else it may ho eallcd. If there he any thing in a public
dispatch derogatory to the honor ol the country, as I think
there is in this, it is enough for me, that 1 sec Whose hand
is to if. If it be said, that the signer was only an instru
ment in the hands of others, I reply, that I cannot concur
in conferring a high diplomatic Irust on any one who has
consented, under any circumstances, to he un inslrumint
in such a case.
The honorable member from Ocorgra asks, also, why we
have slept on this subject, and why, at this late day, we
bring forward complaints. Sir, nohtsly has slept upon it
Since these instructions have been made public, there has
been no previous opportunity to discuss them. The ho
norable member will recollect, that the whole arrange
ment with Kngland was done ami completed, before ever
these instructions saw the light. Tire President opened
the. trade by his proclamation, in October, 1830; but these
instructions were not publicly sent to Congress till after
wards, that is, till January, 1881. And they were not then
sent, with any view that either House should art upon Ihc
subject, for the whole business was already settled. For
one, I never saw the instruction*, nor heard them read,
till January, 1831 ; nor did I ever hear then* spoken ol, as
containing these obnoxious passages. I hia, then, is the
tirst opportunity for considering these instructions.
That they have been subjects of complaint out of doors
since they were made public, and of much severe ani
tnsdverslon, is certainly true. Hut, until now, there ne

REMARKS OK MU. CLAY.
Mr. C lay, (iii reply to Mr. Forsyth am) other gentle*
men) observed, that a doctrine had been advanced much
more important in its consequences, than the nomination
under consideration. It had been maintained, that the
instructions, so often adverted to were the J*rc9iilcnt*s in**
structions; that fie alone tvas responsible lor them ; and
that the Secretary ot Stato stood in no manner amenable
on account ol them. This doctrine was directly at war
uith the genius of all our institutions which suppose eve
ry public functionary to ho responsible for every official
act he performs. This responsibility runs through our en
tire system, and attaches to every officer of Government,
trom the highest to the lowest. It the President sanctions
lii-truclioiis, emanating from the Department of State, un
doubtedly lie also is responsible lor them; but Ibis cannot
screen the Secretary of State from bis share of the respon
sibility. Is „ot a Secretary of State impeachable under
the t onstitution l Suppose lie is guilty ot “ treason, bribe
ry, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,” could he not
be impeached by the House of Representatives, tried, and
convicted! And would it bo any defence that the crime
was committed by the command ot a President. II he is
directed to perform an act forbidden by law, or repugnant
to the national honor, ho can withhold his signature, and
surrender the seals of office. It is remarkable that it up
pears there were no Cabinet consultations when these in
structions were given, and csnsoqucntly, Mr. Van Huron's
responsibility was greater. 1 have been asked if 1 consi
dered myself liable for the instructions which I gave, in
conformity with the directions of tlio President, when l
was in the Department ol Mate. Most certainly. 1 ne
ver gave an instruction, or prepared a diplomatic note,
without a lull consciousness of the responsibility under
which 1 acted. ^ _ J
to this nomination Is the mortification which is felt at tho
success ol this adniinitin »<>on i» uncovering the colonial
trade, and its general aucess in the management or
foreign affairs, when contrasted with the previous adminis
tration. With respect to tho value of the colonial trade,
under tho arrangement* which has been made, and its ef
fects upon our navigation and commerce, I liopo that an
opportunity for an ample discussion of them will occur,
when it w ill not bo difficult to show that what has heen
done is decidedly more disadvantageous to us than the pre
vious state of that trade, lint what is tho arrangement?"
There is no treaty, no compact, nothing obligatory upon
Great Britain. Tho operation ol an act of the British
Parliament has been simply extended to our intercourse
with the British colonies. \\ hat we have gotten pro
cceds from the breath ol a Uriti-h Parliament, and the
same breath can take it away, whenever tin y please.
Let us look at flic other vaunted instances ol the di
plomacy of this administration. The rcsiduo of our
claims on Denmark, ior which indemnity was not obtain
ed under Hie late administration, have been satisfied.
But Mr. Wheaton was engaged in negotiations respect
ing them prior to the termination oi that administration._
A treaty is understood to have been made with Turkey.
But the information w hich led to the negotiation was pro
cured during the late administration, w hich had actually
commenced a negotiation, and would in all probability
bavo conducted it to a successful conclusion, it it had re
mained in power. A treaty lias been signed and eoneltid
ed with Austria by the present administration. But that
treaty, I believe word lor word, was negotiated and pre
pared for signature by the Austrian minister and myself.
A day had even been appointed to proceed to (lie signa
ture, when the caution of the Austrian minister prompted
Jinn to refer the treaty to his Government for its approbation.
The French treaty, providing for the satisfaction of tho
claims of our citizens oil France, lias been concluded du
ring tliis administration; but the whole world knows that
it has proceeded from a fortunate conjuncture. If it had
not been for the revolution of July, wo should probably
not have obtained the treaty.
Now, under tho last administration let ns see what was
ilonc. it concluded at Washington treaties with Guatu
inala. Denmark, and the I lanseatic cities, founded on tho
most liberal principles, and forming models lor future trea
ties. It made treaties abroad with England and tho Em
peror of Brazils, with Sweden, and with Mexico, the lat
ter ot which remained to he ratified by the Mexican Re
public. It adjusted the difficult subject with England re
lating to satisfaction for slaves taken during the late war.
During that administration, indemnity was obtained for
claims of American citizens, on Colombia,- the Brazils,
Denmark, Sweden,! and Russia. In rcspccltotho indent
* There is a statement in Hie published speech of (Jen.
Smith, which, if Iks hkhIc it in the lunate,did not attract
my attention. He says he asked me whether the terms
proposed l»y tlm British act of 1'arlhuncntof July, 1825,
w.-ro satisfactory; and that 1 said “I considered they worn
all we could ask.” Now, l am perfectly confident that
the Senator’s recollection is inaccurate, ami that I never
did say to him that the terms proposed by the net were alf
wc could ask, It is impossible I should have said so. For,
by the terms of the act, to entitle Powers net colonial (and
ol course the United Slates) toils privileges, those Power*
arc required to place the commerce and navigation of
(Ireat Britain (Ktiropcan as well as colonial) upon the loot
ing of the most favored nation. That is, if we had accept
ed the terms as tendered on the face of (he act, we would
have allowed the British vessels all the privileges which
we have granted by our treaties of reciprocity with (»uate
mala and other Powers, The vessels of <>rcat Britain,
therefore, would have been at liberty to import into the
United States,ot»an equal looting with our own, the pro
duction of any part of the globe, with a corresponding
privilege on the pari of onr vesse ls, in the ports of (ireat
Britain. 1th* true that the King in Council was authoriz
ed to dispense w ith some o< the conditions ol the art, in be
ball ot powers not possessing colonics. But whether tho
condition, embracing tin- principle el the most favored na
tion, would have been dispensed with or not, was unknown
to mo at the time the* (senator stales the. conversation to
have happened. And, long alter, Mr. Vaughan, the Bri
tish Minister, w is unable to allord any information as to the
act of Parliament. That very authority, verted in the
King, demonstrates the necessity there was tor further ex
planation, if not negotiation.
With respect to the note from me to the Senator, which
he says he received accompanying the draft of the lull
introduced by him it would bo more satisfactory if he
would publish the note itself, instead pt what ho represents
to be an extract. * ff f>
| I My belief was, and I so stated, that Mr. Hughes was
imdrucletl to aid Mr. Connell, the agent of the claimants
.gainst Sweden to procure indemnity. Mr. Hughes was
instructed and charged with a negotiation (or the rl timsof
our citizens on Denmark, in which he was assisted by Mr.
Connell the agent of the claimants there also Having
had no rceent access to tho Department of State, it is pos
sible I was mistaken as to the fact of Mr. Hughes being
especially Instructed in respect to the Swedish claim*
and that I confounded the two negotiation !. In poird o(
