Approved, April 20, 1832 Freedom of Debate. Members of Congress -fur any speech or debate in cither House, shall not be questioned in any other place:' So says the constitution. General Houston certainly did not 'question Mr. Stanberry; he knocked him over the sconce. This is called a 'breach of privilege by Congress men; but we question whether Chief Justice Marshall would not call it a 'breach of the peace? and, if the House should proceed against the General, and sentence him to four years imprisonment in the Penitentiary, we question whether if the Plaintiif in error should appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Chief Justice would not reverse the judgment. But scr.ouslv what can the House do with Governor Houston? llis olfence is against the lair, not against a privilege; it is cognizable by a court of justice, not by a legislative assembly. Suppose the offence had been committed on the last day of the session, would Congress have prolonged its term to have tried the case? It not what becomes of the argument, about the nu tdy justice of Congress and the tardy pace of a taw court: What would they have done with the aggressor during the recess of Con gress? kept him in prison? Upon what j kind of process would they have committed j him? or would thev have taken bail for his i i . ... . appearance; ana to wnom would the bond run? Let us inquire what punishment they can inflict? Can they fine the Governor? To whom would the line go? To the United States, the House of Representatives, or to Air. Stanberry ?

It may not be known to some of our readers, that tho 'independent foreign Prince John Ridge,'' who has been travelling through New England, setting old women in tears and young women in sighs, and begging money to pay Sergeant and Wirt another cool ,sl0,C0U to electioneer themselves into otlice, is the same individual who with the connivance of the last Administration cheated the Creek Indians out of $40,000. The Creeks made a treaty with Government to cede certain lands to the United States for $217,000, to be paid in the language of the treaty 'to the Chiefs, Head-men and Warriors of the Creek nation. This Ridge and one Vann, not Creehs but Cherokee Indians, acted as Secretaries of the Creek delegation of Chick, who iaade tiro treaty, and to n:iu-

Rdge if only half-Indian, was educated at Cornwall, and had art and trick enough to cheat tho peor ignorant Creeks out of $10,000. He wanted a reservation of land also for himself, but this was a little too barefaced for Mr. Barbour to accede to. Ridge is wortli $200,000, which lie has got from tho Indian annuities, and because General Jackson has ordered the money to be paid to the people, and not to the Chiefs, he is in a great rage, and is now traversing the country after tiie maimer of his patron Mr. Clay making speeches rgainst the President, and begging money for Sargeant any U hi. Destitute of principb with all tho vices, and none of tho virtues of the race, ho is a tit ally for the unprincipled faction that is trying to thwart the benevolent intentions of the government towards the? Indians, and who in order to sustain a sinking cause, has brought the Supreme Court of the Union into the arena of politics, and stained the ermine of Justice to favor the factious views of a desparing party. jV. .

If all its tiansactions have been fair and legal, what need of employing lawyer, equal in ability, we dare s ,y to" Webster, Clay and Wirt, to watch ou r it? Tho business cf banking, as at present understood, is certainly very simple, and with us, we believe, gentlemen of the bar have but poor pickings in. that way. What will the people think of the subjoined statement, founded upon a report prepared lately by the President of die Bank, m obedience to a resolution adopted on tho motion of Senator Benton? In Philadelphia, there were paid toattormes the following sums in the years specified: o'"V ill i no mnnnv 1S10 1SC0 1S21 1822 1823 1821 1825 182G 1827 1828 P20 1830 1831 $12,195 00 . 2,050 00 . 8,079 00 . 2,813 13 . 5,000 S i . 0,277 35 . 2,020 00 . ;5,S72 13 . 4,075 00 . 2,2GS 00 . 10,304 40 . 3,443 00 . 4,105 64 S'HjSIG 5-1 Amounting in the aggregate, to seventyone thousand three hunured and sixteen dollars and ffty four cents !

He commenced. about midnight, continued till daylight, whipping him till he was fatigued, lying down, and then recommencing; and compelling the others to do the same.

A curious fact is related in connection with the history of the Plague in Egypt It states that out of a millitn of persons who fell victims to it in that country, not a single dealer in oil had suffered attack; and that all along the coast of Baibary, and in those places in which the devastations cf the plague had been most frightful, no instance was ever known of a porter in an oil store being attacked with it.
