SXANDRIA:
Y MORNING, APRIL 23, 1834.
MR. PRESTON,
which a number of the young Men
a gave on Friday last, to Senator
brilliant and satisfactory festival,
at the Washington Hall,
four hundred gentlemen sat down
i Cope, Esq. presided, assisted by
•esidents. Immediately at the right
at Colonel Preston, Mr. M’Duffie,
tlayor Swift, General Duff Green,
Secretary of the Treasury, Hen
President of the Common Coun
dhews, and Mr. Jones, of South
ton, Mr. M’Duffie, Mr. Sergeant,
e delivered very cogent and ex
5
pier of History.—The following
*’ ae from the President of the United States
* the Senate, was received and read in that bo
4 at the opening of Monday’s sitting;
To At Senate of the United States:
flavin* reason to believe that certain passa
ge contained in my Message and Protest, trans
lated to the Senate on the 17th instant, may
? misunderstood, I think it proper to state that
not my intention to deny, in the said Mes
! 'the power and right of the Legislative De
nartment to provide by law for the custody, safe
Lnirnr, and disposition of the public money
and property ot the United States.
Although I am well satisfied that such a con
... ic nnt warranted bv any thing contain
ed in that Message, yet aware, from experience,
that detached passages of an argumentative
document, when disconnected from their con
text, and considered without reference to previ
ous limitations, and the particular positions they
f were intended to refute or to establish, may be
made to bear a construction varying altogether
from the sentiments really entertained and inten
ded to be expressed; and deeply solicitous that
my views on this point should not, either now
or hereafter, be misapprehended, I have deemed
it due to the gravity of the subject, to the great
interests it involves, and to the Senate, as well
as to myself, to embrace the earliest opportuni
ty to make this communication.
I admit, without reserve, as I have before
done, the constitutional power of the Legislature
to provide by law the place or places in which
the public money or other property is to be de
posited; and to make such regulations concern
ing its custody, removal or disposition, as they
may think proper to enact. Nor do I claim for
the Executive any right to the possession or dis
position of the public property or treasure, or
any authority to interfere with the same, except
when such possession, disposition, or authority,
is given to him by law; nor do I claim the ri ht
in any manner to supervise or interfere with the
person entrusted with such property or treasure,
unless he be an officer whose appointment, un
der the Constitution and laws, is devolved upon
the President alone, or in conjunction with the
Senate, and for whose conduct he is constitution
ally responsible.
As the Message and Protest referred to may
appear on the Journal ofthe Senate, and remain
among the recorded documents ot the nation, I
am unwilling that opinions should be imputed
to me, even through misconstruction, which are
not contained in it; and more particularly am I
solicitous that 1 may not be supposed to claim
lor myself, or my successors, any power or au
thority not clearly granted, by the Constitution
and laws, to the President. I have, therefore,
respectfully to request that this communication
may be considered a part of that Message, and
that it mray be entered therewith on the Journals
of the Senate. ANDREW JACKSON.
April 21, 1834.
Mr. Poindexter has modified his resolution
that the President’s Protest be not received, so
as to read as follows:—
Resolved, That the President, in transmitting
the paper which he did to the Senate, on the 17th
instant, which he requested to be placed on its
Journals, as an Executive Protest, against a
Resolution passed by the Senate, made a com
munication not authorized by the Constitution,
nor warranted by that mutual interchange of
communications which the discharge of official
duties render necessary and proper between the
Legislative Departments of the Government.
Rtsolvedy That the President, in the paper
above referred to, assumes powers in relation
to the Senate not authorized by the Constitution,
and calulated, in its consequences, to destroy
that harmony which ought to exist between the
co-ordinate Departments of the General Go
vernment; to interfere with the Senate in the
discharge of its duties; to degrade it in the pub
lic opinion; and finally, to destroy its indepen
dence, by subjecting its rights and duties to
the determination and control of the Chief Ma
gistrate.
Resolved. That the communication of a pa
per of such a character, with the declarations
t‘iat accompanied it, is a plain, an open breach
uf the constitutional rights and privileges of the
Senate, and that it cannot be received by the
body, without a surrender of the just powers
confided to it by the Constitution, in trust, to se
cure the liberty, and promote the prosperity of
t!»e$e States, and which the members are bound
to maintain under the sacred obligations of an
oath.
Resolved, therefore, That the paper be not re
eved by the Senate. Vm
Beaumont, the surgeon, who a few months
sun* published a work, setting forth his experi
ments upon the 9tomach of a patient, to which
had direct access by means of a shot wound,
has recently visited Boston with the same pa
and exhibited the wonderful and satisfac
tory operations to the College of Physicians in
that city. The Medical Journal observes:
u The parts appear precisely as discribed in
work, but present a color of brighter red
uan had been led to anticipate. So curso
ry a view of this most extraordinary case serv
ed, it is true, little other purpose than to gratify
v’ety laudable curiosity, since there was no
toe to repeat any of Dr. B.’s experiments. Cold
ater, which the young man drank in abun
ance passed, freely through the orifice of his
jUe» and a probe, with half its length in the
sumach, exhibit very clearly the peculiar move-'
toont of that organ. The facts stated by Dr. !
•1 ^ convei*sing on this case, led us to con
•tode, that the subject has been by no means ex
hausted in his published volume, but the pro
fession may yet anticipate some further light
on the functions of the stomach, from the inves
tigations which it is his intention to pursue, for
several years, with the aid of his Canadian pa
tient” ___
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal—The Ce
cil Republican of Saturday says:—A gentleman
from the vicinity of the Canal has informed us
that this morning about three o’clock the Bank
of the Canal across Broad Creek gave way and
left the bed thereof perfectly clear of water.—
The damage is incalculable; the Banks and
Two Path having in consequence fallen in at
several other places. Five vessels are lying in
the Canal at Cheseapeake without a drop of wa
ter, and many others may be in a similar situa
tion east thereof.
We learn from the Cecil (Md.) Republican
that George Stebbings, who was sometime
since arrested, and against whom the Grand Ju
ry of that county had found a bill, charging
him with the murder of Evelina Cunningham,
in 1825, was tried last week and acquitted. The
editor intimates that the Verdict of acquittal does
not harmonize with public opinion, and promi
ses a full report of the trial in his next paper.
Stebbings immediately after his discharge, in
consequence of this acquittal, was arrested and
committed to jail, on a charge of stealing lum
bei—where, it is w’as thought, he would have to
remain until the sitting of the County Court in
October next.
Rhode Island Election.—An Election was last
week held in the State of Rhode-Island, for Go
vernor ot the State, and Members of the Legis
lature. Governor Francis, (Administrative and
Anti-masonic,) is re-elected by a majority of
something more than a hundred votes. Last
year, his majority was 749. There is a gain to
me vpposiuon 01 seveiui mciuunsui uic nwusc
of Representatives: the Senate doubtful. It is
understood that, before the Election, Governor
F. declared himself to be decidedly opposed to
the recent measure of the Executive.—Ara*. Int.
DIED,
On Monday, 21st inst., in Georgetown, D. C.
Mrs. Ann Riordan. “Who can find a virtuous
woman? for her price is far above rubies. She
stretcheth out her hand -to the poor; yea, she
reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She
openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her
tongue is the law of kindness. Her children
arise up and call her blessed.”—Prov. Chap. 31.
On Thursday the 10th instant, at his residence
in this county, Mr. William S. Summers, aged
37 years. Mr. S. had been actively engaged in
business in this county for several years, and
had secured to himself the confidence and es
teem of a large circle of friends and acquain
tances. He "possessed a quick and vigorous
mind, and a heart “ open as day to melting
charity.” He has left to his children their best
inheritance, an honest name; and to his family
and friends, the only consolation which could
alleviate their grief, an assurance that he is hap
py in another and a better world. His last
scenes furnished the most triumphant evidence
of the sufficiency of the Christian’s hope, to sus
tain us, in the last fearful hour, and light us safe
ly to the chambers of the grave. Perhaps no
individual ever gave more satisfactory evidence
of his acceptance with God, or afforded a more
striking exhibition of his sustaining goodness.
His protracted sufferings, he bore with remark
able patience and resignation, regarding them
only as the necessary inconveniences of his
journey to the skies, and finally expired without
a struggle or a sigh.
“ Death’s but the path that must he trod,
If man would ever pass to God.”
