„ there were a number of members on
that, as question desirous to express
both sia • the question would not be forced
tbeljr u»ast two weeks from that time. The lat
f°r alntleman in particular, assured me that
ter f^Ssno disposition on the part of the ma
th«r® ^ut off debate lor a couple oi weeks—
whom said he was going to set out for
Philadelphia the same day I left here, and would
Lh»hseht about as long as I expected to be
& * that he felt perfectly satisfied there
gon ntTdanger that the vote would be taken m
^Le He, however, did not leave the city
as he said he would, and voted for
question. Another of them said
mnhatically he should not give his consent to
elD.nff debate until about the middle of the pre
t month. He also voted for the previous
«tion it is not ray intention to reflect on
?hUn% gentlemen, for I believe them to have been
liSccw in what they then said. I merely state
facts.”
The facts of the case we believe to be these:
Mr. McDuffie was allowed to get the floor to
cover after proceedings. It was perceived that
]on,r debate might induce changes, and bring
on instructions. A caucus of the party was j
held and the majority determined to force the j
vote as soon as Mr. McDuffie concluded. The j
minority of the caucus yielded to the claims of j
party, and gave in. Mr. Mann, of N. Y., Mr.
Beardsley, of N. Y., Mr. Hawes, of Ky., and Mr. j
Mason, of Va., all agreed to take the response 1
bility. The Speaker^ eye was to catch the j
person of one or the other. The port of honor!
was assigned to Mr. Mason, and at the word of
command the phalanx of Power wheeled into
roiumn-and the thing was done.
The same letter writer from New' York to the
Globe, mentioned in yesterday’s Gazette, who ,
announced his intention of getting drunk last j
Sunday, says in his epistle—
u \Ve admire and reverence this magnificent
usurper, [meaning Gen, Jackson,] who is re
claiming for the.People the rights which have
from them, and w’ho is desDOtical
ly bent on freeing us from The chains of an un
constitutional monopoly,” &c. &c.
Perhaps he had commenced the process of in
ebriation before he wrote the letter, otherwise
he would not have spoken quite so plainly. And
we have always been told—In vino veritas.
The New York Journal of Commerce of
Tuesday says, “ TherS was a sensible decline
in stocks at the Brokers’Board yesterday, in
consequence of the votes in the House of Re
presentatives at Washington last Friday.” ,
Major Downing gives us one of his most
laugable letters. The Major is worth his weight
—in bank notes—these hard times.- Its’ well
that people can laugh at any thing, now-a-days.
The Harrisburg Intelligencer says very truly:
“The time has now come when the standard
of principle must be lifted up. The contest about
men must cease. The question will be, “are you
for a government of limited qr absolute powers?’
Liberty or Despotism? The constitution or the
will of one man? Democracy, or consolidation
of all the powers of government in the hands
of the Executive? Such being the contest, we
fear notthe result. The people will alwavs act
right unless deceived. An army of 50 000 offi
ceholders cannot much longer enslave the peo
• pie.”
Mr. McDuffie’s speech proves that this is, in
deed and in truth, a contest between Liberty
and Power.
A very numerous public meeting of the citi
zens of Lycoming County, Pa. was held on the
31st ult. at which J. Andrew Shulze, late Gover
nor of the State, presided, and at which resolu
tions, reprobating the usurpations of the Ex
ecutive of the nation, and calling for a restora
tion of the deposites, and the re-chartering of
theU. S. Bank, were unanimously adopted; and
four gentlemen were elected delegates to the
Harrisburg convention of the 27th of May.
It is understood that Mr. Wilde will avail him
self of the first opportunity to press his fifth reso
lution, as an addition to the resolutions reported
from the Committee of Ways and Means, de
claring, in the terms of the resolution adopted
by the Senate, that the Reasons of the Secreta
ry of the Treasury for removing the deposites
are unsatisfactory and insufficient.

Pennsylvania Legislature.—The bill authori
zing the employment of an agent to negotiate a
loan abroad has passed to its third reading in
the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania.
A bill, we observe, is in progress through the
Houses, directing a suite against the Allens, for
their failure in the contract in regard to the
State loan.

A Sub-Editor.—Every one who has been up
wards of twenty years in London must remem
ber an Irishman of Herculean frame, Felix
M’Carthy, the intimate of Lord Moira, Sheri
dan, and others. A newspaper was set up in
London for the express purpose of libelling, and
Felix was hired by the real Editors, for about
three guineas and a half a week, to assume the
responsibility. He sat behind the counter and
when any one of the hundred offended indivi
duals entered the office, and with much bluster
showing a horewhip, demanded the editor—
on Felix rising up, and exhibiting his seven
feet stature and broad shoulders, and coolly
observing, ‘I am the Editor,’ the party with the
horsewhip usually decamped without beat of!
drum. The moral is not very honorable to poor j
human nature. The requisites to success in life
are, a good deal of audacity, supported by !
force, and very little sensibility.—London Morn

Flour.—Thursda/ the wagon price of Flour
opened at $4 50 but soon declined to $4 37 1-2.
Yesterday the current price was $425 a $4 27.—
From stores we suppose $4 37 1-2 would be a fair
quotation. Last sales from stores were at $4 42
a $4 37 1-2.
BOSTON MARKET April 7.
Flour.—There has been a good demand for
all descriptions, ami the late advance on prices
has been fully sustained. The stock of Gen
nessee is quite small, but early arrivals are ex
pected. There is no Ohio in first bands; a car
go arrived to-day, was sold some time since at
4,25 per brl. Sales for export of 5 a 700 brls
Fredericksburg at $5. 4 mos; 200 do Mountain,
5 1-8 do; 300 do Richmond Canal, 5 1-8, and
Howard street, 5 1-4 a 5 3-8, 4 mos.
Grain.—The supplies of Corn during the pre
sent week, not been equal to the demand, and
the stock in the hands of regular dealers not
being large, prices have been well sustained.—
Oats, with a heavy stock, are very dull of sale,
and Rye hardly maintains the late reduced pri
ces.

TO THE PUBLIC.
HAVING been summoned to appear before
a Justice of the Peace, for retailing wood,
contrary to one of the ordinances of the Cor
poration, which provides that the measurer shall
measure the same; and in consequence of his
not attending until a late hour of the day, I ob
tained his permission to measure the same, by
paying him his legal fees—and at the time wood
was selling at a high price;—I, in order to al
leviate the sufferings of the poor, sold mine at
the reduced price of $2 per cord to those who
seemed able to buy a cord, and fifty cents per
third to those were unable to buy a cord,—
which must convince any candid mind that
lucre was not my only object.
As I am to attend this day at the office upon
the presentment of the Wood Measurer, barely
for trying to ameliorate the condition of suffer
ing humanity, 1 hope the good citizens of this
town will delay calling upon me until 2 o’clock,
P. M., at Janney’s wharf, on board the schooner
Java, where I will sell them'good pine wood at
$2, and good oak at $3 per cord. I remain the
public’s obedient servant, JOHN KING.
