For the Palladium. Mr. Editor: When I hear such tales lold as is ited by Homespun, from Manchester, in the 8th 2. of your paper, I think it is but just to compare -id with facts, and see if they are not the production of some demagogue, or a blue-light Federalist of the gag-law stamp. He commences: "when I hear tho opposition leaders declaim against party spirit, against bringing out candidates by conventions, Alc." If we were at a loss to know who he

In Senate. March 11. Mr. Tiptox, from the Committee of Claims, reported a bill for the relief of John McClanahan; which was read. Mr.. Tipton presented the petition of Robert Harris, which was referred to the Committee on the Post Office and Po&t Roads. Mr. Hendricks presented the petition of Oliver Cromwell, which was referred to the Committee of Cbims.

It was long, elaborate, circumstantial and argumentative. The chairman occupied nearly fifty minutes in reading it; but owing to his low, soft, shattered, eunuch's voice more than ever in ''bondman's bated key," since Mr. Forsyth cracked his veracity I could scarcely gather enough from the whole I heard and I listened with mouth and ears to give a sketch of the general scope or outlines of the document.

not party Republicans. Homespun has his mem

ory somewhat clogged 3lso, or he would remember the letters that Gen. Jackson wrote to James Monroe, after his (Monroe's) election, previous to his taking the chair; he siys, "I would have you select your cabinet out of men distinguished for their abilities, without regard to party, for it is time that

the monster pirty spirit was done away." Now, as i vious notice introduced the following bill:

this letter was published and republished, and harp- j A BILL to continue for the term of six vears, the

cdupon by every Jackson newspaper, previous to Jackson's first election, as his decided principles,

Homespun should have recollected if, before he attacked others who believe in that doctrine. But i 17 did the result of the last August election, compared with the state of parties at the last presidential election, warrant Homespun in making such an ns3ertion, or in giving such precautionary advice About being Med estray?' Homespun does not overmuch honor the parti republicans, if he thinks to cram down them such palpable misstatements for truth; or by supposing that they were such fools, that the National republicans would lead them Astray.' What does Homespuu mean by the word 'estry?1 Is it not that they must not vote for any thing but party or democratic republicans? (syn

onymous terms now-a-days.) Most clearly so. He advises them to do that, in principle, which he siys flatly, 'is not fair.' Homespun's reasoning is that the party republicans have no principle, clsa ha could not believe they would follow his advice in what he acknowledges 'is not fair.' He says again, if they (the National republicans) mean to vote on party grounds, why not come out boldly and say so?' Sir, I would answer his question, in the Yankee style, by asking another. Does Homespun think that men who believe, that all the officers from the

president, down to the lowest township officer, !

should exercise the duties of their office with a single e3Te to the duties prescribed for them by the constitution and law, without asking or knowing who voted for them, or who did not, will vote for a man who professes principles entirely the reverse, and purposes to act upon them, with a view to reward and punish all in their power, for the free exercise cf tho greatest right freemen have? Then, sir, to be short, and to remove all doubts, we (tho National republicans) do not mean to vote on party grounds, excepting you may call those who profees to go for our whole country, and nothing but our country, a party. Our present representative in congress predicated his election upon no party ground, and said in his public addresses that he spurned the idea of party : and that if he was elected, ho would act with a view to all our interests, without regard to party, and he received a most triumphant majority. And if he redeems his pledge, I have no doubt his majority at the next time, will be doubled. Homespun 'hopes the friends of the administration will not be led cstray by the cry cf no party.' Now there appears to be plainly two objects in view: One, 1 presume, is the gentleman cither intends himself, or some particular friend, to he up for office, and as he knows that it wont do to trust to this having 'merits' sufficient to do them any good, and consequently must draw upon the store of Jacksonism. O! temporal O! mores! The second object is punishment for

daring to assert the rights of freemen, by exercising the privilege of speaking and publishing our views of the acts of 'the administration,' and daring to dissent from the views of the administration. Now sir, I think this is much worse than the old gag-law: for under the old gaglaw people were tried by a jury, and they had a right to be heard, and give the truth of the words spoken in evidence. But this new revision of the gag-hw gives no such privileges; and further, the old gag-law only took a few idollars from the condemned culprit, but the new one takes a way the rights and privileges of the people. Homespun certainly can have no other object in view by his misstatements and his advice. But I hope, since hoping is in fashion, that Homespun will get his eyes open, and when he does, he will sec that party republicanism is not in accord

ance with the spirit of our free institutions, if Gen

act entitled "An act to incorporate the subscri

bers to the Bank of the United States." Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States cf America in Congress Assembled, That the act entitled "An act to incorporate the subscribers of the Bank of the United Slates," approved on the 10th day of April in the year 1816, shall continue in full forco and effect for the term of six years, from and after the period therein limited for its expiration, to witihe 3d day of March 1836, and that all the l ights, interests, properties, powers, and privileges, secured by the same act, with all the rules, conditions,

restrictions, and duties therein prescribed and imposed, be and remain, after the said 3d day of March, 1S3G, during the said six years, as if the said limitation in the said act, had not been made:

Provided nevertheless, That so much of the said act as declares that no other bank shall be established by any future law of the United States, during the continuance of the corporation thereby created, shall not be continued by this act, but that it shall

be lawful for Congress, whenever it shall see fit, to establish any other bank to come into existence and operation atanv time on or after the 4th day ofMarch 1830. And be it further enacted. Thai all public moneys accruing to the United Stales, and becoming payable from and after the passage of this act, in places where the said Bank, or any of its offices, are established, shall be deposited in theBank of the United States, and its offices, as heretofore; provided, that at any time after this act shall have been accepted, Congress may, by law or joint resolution, cause such moneys to be withdrawn and removed to any other custody or place ofdepositc. And be it further enacted, That, in consideration of the benefits and privileges conferred by this act, the said Bank shall pay to the United States,

the nnnuity or yearly sum of two hundred thousand dollars, which said sum shall be paid by the said Bank on the 4th day of March, in each and every year, during the said term of six years. And be it further enacted, That Congress may provide by law, that the said Bank shall be restained, at any time after the 3d day ofMarch, 1836, from making, issuing, or keeping in circulation, any notes or Bills of said Bank, or any of its offices, of a les3 sum or denomination than twenty dollars. And be it further enacted, That at any time or times, within the last three years of the existence of said corporation, ascontinued by this act, it shall be lawful for ihe President and Directors to divide among themselves stockholders thereof, such portions of the capital stock of the said corporation, as they may have withdrawn from active use, and may judge proper so to divide.

And be it further enacted, That so much of any act or acts of Congress, heretofore passed and now in force, supplementary to, or in any wise connected with the said original act of incorporation, ap

proved on the linn day ot April, in the year 1810. as is consistent with this act, shall be continued in full force and effect during the said six vears after the 3d day of March, 1836. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the President and Directors of the said Bank, on or before the first day of the next session of Congress to signify to the President of the United States, their aiceptance, on behalf of the Bank of tho United States, of the terms and conditions in this act contained, and if they shall fail to do so, on or before the day above mentioned, then this act shall cease to be in forco. Mr. Webster addressed the Senate upwards of

two hours m support of the propositions contained

it as well as queen Elizabeth did, and maintained her rights and dignity among her espoused sister?, as well as the proudest of them, without any imputation of easy virtue, or any loss of reputation. But

since my lady has endeavored to smuggle three chamberlains into the Senate chamber, it is high time to recommend to her to keep within the bounds of constitutional decency. As this was an important subject, it was expected that the minority, consisting of Messrs. Hives and Wright, would make their report. But Mr. 11. since the subject was committed, having resigucd, the duty will devolve upon Mr. Wright. He gave his reasons to-day, why he did not offer a report, viz that the documents had been with the Chairman, and it would be necessary to have access to them for reference, in order to make a report. He expressed his readiness to go through the labor, if the Senate should intimate their consent to receive such a report; but should decline the labor, if such a course was not in accordance with the practice and precedents of tho Senate. Mr. King, of Alabama, cited the case of a minority report Mr. Clay inclined to receive one; Mr. Sprague was willing but not as a matter of rig ht; Mr. Calhoun made a metaphysical distinction, calling the expression of the

majority a report, and that of the minority a ";aper!" because the "minority," he paid, "had 110 will:" excepting, always I i'ancy, when they arc Nullifiers! Mr. Cantankerous Clayton said something on the subject, but it was too subtle for my perception; so of course, I must dispense with it. Dr. Chambers administered a geometrical pill; but I could not analyze it it was a little ubsinthiated, of course, and not at all gilded. Mr. King moved for a recommitment of the report, that the minority might

have a chance lor an opinion; but his motion was miscarried-, though 1 believe the opposition generally expressed themselves favorable to having an opinion on both sides of the case. Before this subject came up, Gen. McKean had presented a distressing memorial fiom the county (I

think) of Philadelphia, said to be from Jackson men. J

nut the point of it was, an apprehension, that a new Bank was to be chartered, to be located in New York. It is only "a weak invention of the enemy." Mr. Grundy said he would never vote for any new Bank to be located there. Mr. Clay made a speech on this subject against State Banks. Mr. Hill concluded his able speech, in which he gave a brief history of the federal opposition to all democratic measures and administrations; and showing that the aim of the party had always been to get rich by a false, baseless, money credit, In conclusion, he contrasted the difficulties Gcu. Jackson had now to encounter, and the many over which he had triumphed, with those Washington and Jefferson had to struggle with; and showed also, very clearly that under Jackson's Administration the Government was more respected abroad, and better supported at home, than it ever had been before. The peroration was a handsome eulogy upon the wisdom, firmness and patriotism of old Or

leans beautiful because just. Mr. Polk made a report, as chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, on the Deposites; and chalked out work for two years debate. Only a part of the report which is 50 octavo pages was read. To this report Mr. M'Duffie wanted to offer an amendment! but "that biddy could'nt fight:" it was in dis-order. Mr. Uinney, in connection with Gorham and R. II. Wild, offered a minority Report. The subject of the Resolutions will be called up for consideration on Wednesday next. There is business enough now before the House to last till the Presidency of General Jackson expires. The pre

sent House will bequeath a little of it to their political posterity. Nobody, I hope, will ouarrel about

sing and passing Mr. Poindexter's Resolutions, calling for an investigation of the conduct of Land Agents and Land offices, relative to suspicious and fraudulent practices. The senate being unanimous, (the yeas and nays being taken) as to", the principal resolutions; but differed as to the mode in which the committee appointed for the purpose fchould proceed in their investigation. Mr. Morris of Ohio spoke on the subject, bring the Anytime I have heard him this pension. He is a shrewd, clear headed, sensible man. Mr. Grundy offered an amendment, which the Senator from Mississippi accepted. I must say for the gentleman from Tennessee, that ho is not only one of the most honest men that ever lived, but the most fairminded I over heard speak. He will go with his party but he will have his party go right. No tn.in pvpr nresnmes to arraign, or even ouestion, his

The rumors concerning the affair between Mr. Forsyth and Mr. Poindextcr, were no contradictory and improbable that wc did not care to advert to it until we should obtain wine authentic information. Letters received yesterday from members of Congress, and others.'givc the following version of what has been so variously reported: Mr. Poindcxtcr stated tlmt the government had ordered 0,) hi to be transferred from Natchez to New York, to suhtain the Safety Fund Banks. Mr. Forsyth pronounced the statement untrue. Mr. P. inquired whether the gentleman intended to impeach his veracity, declaring that no man should do so, but at the risk of his life.

On one resolution Mr. Shepley recorded his solitary vote in the negative, and very properly too- he saw, from the latitude taken that the power of the Committee might be abused, and was not willing by his vote to give them full scope. After discussing the mode in which the Committee should pursue their investigation, in which Mess-rs. Clay,

call of the Senate was ordered, under which Mr. Forsyth was summoned from his lodgings, ho having already received a message, it is said, from Mr. P. The latter gentleman now explained that ho

had ascertained the information on which he mada

Bell, Wright, Forsyth, Morris, Smith, Clayton, j his assertion to be incorrect, and that .Mr. F. w

Preston, A:c, &c spoke, tne opposition imally

had it their own way, about a dozen of the administration voting in the negative. All this business is got up by Mr. Clay, (who makes Mr. Poindextcr iiis pussy's paw) to further the grand scheme of his Land Bill, to bribe the whole country into a measure both corrupt and unconstitutional. The Resolutions and investigation are calculated solely for weapons to assail the administration with. It is not unlikely that the subjott may consume a month's time. All this affected patriotism about the embezzlement of the public Jomains, and the defrauding the treasury, goes to the "restoration" and "re-charter." In fact tiie opposition get up no subject, but what you can see in it a bearing on the Bank every thing converges to that point. During the discussion to-day, I noticed with pleasure, that Mr. Forsyth and Poindextcr treated each other with mutual and marked respect. On the part of Mr. F. 1 was highly gratified to see it. He can afford to be courteous, without reproach and without suspicion. Notwithstanding the debate was long and animated, 1 saw no one, 1 am happy to say, that appeared at all vantanhtious, but Mr. Clayton. Mr. Wright spoke twice or thrice. He is very decisive in his views, and very discriminating and logical in his arguments. His'manner of speaking is easy, and at the same time, both graceful and emphatic. He makes no great display of hands, seldom giving them more than an undulating motion-

bis principal gesture is the easy and graceful motion of his body towards the chair. He attracts-, when speaking, more of the attention of Mr. Webster, than any other Senator of our party; and he annoys him not less by his coolness, than any antagonist this gentleman encounters. No state in the Union is more ably represented in the Senate than New York; & no State has more need of it, for it is the common point of attack from the whole opposition. In the House, she is not Ipss ably supported, than in the Senate. The empire State may defy any opposition brought ngainst her; she was never so powerful before, because never so well united. She will unquestionably give us the next President. litis FtrEXDi.

as

therefore right in pronouncing the statement to be

an untrue one, but wrong in imputing an intention to misrepresent. Mr. F. was satisfied with the admission of the gentleman and accordingly withdrew his remark. The explanation was entered upon the journal, and so the matter ended. It is to be regretted that tho Senate chamber should have been the scene cf such an affair, but it is well, nevertheless, that a rheek has been put upon th' measureless and profligate calumnies heaped upon the administration; Poindextcr and his allic will henceforth, probably, be more gunrdej in their fabrications; he must have known that his statement was incorrect before making it.

L;rurY.

We learn that the Engineers are on tho proposed route for a Canal or rail road, from Nettle creek, in Wayne county, to Lawrenceburgh, in Dearborn county, asd will probably commence a survey in April or May next. Should this section of country be fivored with such an improvement in their high-ways, the advantage will more than justify the expense, whether it be a railroad or canal. Either will be a valuable acquisition to tho farmers and traders of the white-water country. It will be a substantial and lasting improvement, such a one as will enable the farmer to get the proceeds of his industry to a good market, without risk or incuring a heavy expense, as heretofore, (in our section of the country, particularly.) The farmers have had many difficulties to encounter that would be measurably removed by their having some conven
