Q.'The Journal mikes a great ado over a resolution whuh a asserts wa offered in a Commititi i . . . . . nppouuim ny me late I'cmocratiC convention in Hancock County, the purport of it being that the t'onvention would support no man for Congress unless his "w:suspt c!cd private and public honesty may b creditable to the party." Tho majority of the Committee undoubtedly considered that the pre- ..,,, ,. c t. , . , Al . sentat.on of sum a n solution to the : Convention, ; would have been an insult to that body. For to nppi.se that they would, under any circumstances, , support a itislionent man, would be imputing dihoncrt) to them. Hut if tho author of the resolution thought it of n much importance, why did he not himself tfer it m convention! If then had rejected it, as well as the committee, it might have been proper, pcrhap', to have sent the bone to the Whig curs of the Journal. IIih motives of eettffSS Will be suthV.ently apparent. Tlie Journal says the resolution was aim d at NY m. J Bros0. If so, it wis a su;!i ei.t re 4 son for thf t unmittee to reject it. No man should be perm tted to make a pu lie convention for pml tical purposes, the instrument for the gratification of personal hostiüiei, which is here the CttRjteeettd eejeol and undoubtedly the true one.

Let us now turn to the HOUSE COMMITTEE "1 : tVe35 On Canals and Internal Imnrovernents I'.V N kVMn. SHAW, BRADBURY, Carter. Crume, WALKER, Davis, Low, Johnston of F., Rockh , WllSon of V CURKY, BÜECKE MMSE, L-haw? and MENDENHALL Wfa Wileoe of V.. CURRY, BRECKEN8 ; Democrats This was the original constitution of the committee arties be.ng equally divided, though some of the Democratic members were from strung Wh o Internal Improvement Counties, and were rere for 1 the System. NVe may well suppose howerer, that although Mr. Speaker Gbeoory had fulfilled his

understanding with T. J. Kva. by making him Chairman of tlie Committee, he nevertheless wu influenced, more or less, in hi other selection, by

indisposition to go the HMH toff tor im Bye tern, and ttiereture undo the committee bala.ee in political partizanship. The arrangement however was far from bemg , . . .. .. palatable to the System men, and consequently 1 of Brim, who had becom their leader in the House (. Jaw after the announcement of the stand, ng committees (Dec. . 1834) and im order we MMOM to M hrad Uaptain tiregor , introduced the following motion. See Journals U.K. . 19 " On motion of Mr. lans, Messrs. ST AN FORO end BELL were addtd to the Comm.tteo on Canals and Internal Improvements." The motion wa sustained by the Whigs, and Stanfor, amj Bell, sWA FiMr, Wtre added to the 9 Committee, thus giving the Whig party compUtc control ist that as they already had, to nn overwhelm ing extent, in the Committee of the Senate. l.ios if iIh Join seal The Indiana Journal of March 39th commences a tissue ot gross falsehood io relation to the Na- - tional cxpcn,turc8 as follow: "Our last Semi-weekly contained the official cvidence, establish ng the fact that a Whig Congress liave rei'uced the National outlays from the (lam Part,' prod.gal pend.lure of to arty e prodigal expenditure of forty .Millions per annum, to but a Utile mure than Sixteen .Millions r u.

We turn back to the pretended "official evidence," and 'il'tcr an array of formidable figures, wc find tbefollowing: " Itic average yany apprnpriationM in tnc mur years of the Van Hurerl Administration, the reader will nhttPri-n h it, iir. 'i militant nno hnnilren ttnd flfly.fivo thousand and ncvcnty-mne dollars." Lsn't that liar's memory rather loo short ?
