rOlilT lA 5i. V OKKIrOMT.(i: OF THE I'll II. A VF. l.Vl I A MTIHIUV EVKXlNt. POST. Washington,. Ipril 23, 1G3S. In mv last I expressed the opinion that the political liter of this capital, were only slumbei iiig and smouldei ing in the socket, ready to flare up on the slightest spa ik being struck to ignite the imllan.mable mass. Such was the case, but it has not been a single spark; a whole magazine has hern thrown upon the Senate. and that by the President himself. I .el me proceed, however, according to my usual regularity. My last Journal broke off with the death of the lion. Littleton l Dennis, from Man laud ; his funeral was attctvi-

ed by most of the members on Wednesday. I Aery hack in Washington, w as in requisition at public expense, and I among the crowd rode to the Congressional Cemetery ; you will not be surprised when I tell you that very little solemnity attended the obseques; all wni hurried. .Neither House sat, of coarse, on the day of the funeral. Thursday opened with portentous grumblings: the Jackson members of Congress, intimated in dark inuendoes that we should hear something this day, which, would not only surprise us, but take us aback, and truly their prophecy was accomplished. A message was received from the President, to the Senate, on the session being opened, w hich purported to be a Pruti.-t, signed by Andrew Jackson, against the resolution passed by that body in these words: "Resolved, That the President, in the late Executive proceedings, in relation to the public revenue, has assumed upon himself authority and power, not conferred by the Consti

tution and Laws, but in derrogation of

This woiuleiful document, worthy of one of thc Presidents ol anarchy, in South America, winds up with allusions to his own patriotic services, his wounds, his grey hairs and so forth, and his near approach to the grave and another world, as sufficient guarantees to Americans that he has no intention of usurping w hat does not belong lo him.

I res.dent in transm.uing the protest, Mean3 for regulating the depositcs of upon applies of provisions from other

The protest, which is a pper of great ler.gth is the most extraordinary affair ever thrust before a free people; it ?eals the doom of the present rulers, and call? for every member to ihin',; and to r;, for if its principles are or.ee admitted, farewell freedom: a new order cf things then commences, and w e are all at the feel of an Emperor. This protest is nothing but an appeal to the people to bring their Senate into contempt, and to turn the public attention from the distress of ihc time.c, to the discussion of its monstrous doctsines. This document was read by the Clerk, in a st le which would really have disgraced a school boy; so indistinctly did he utter its contents, that where 1 stood, it was difficult even to catch its import. 1 have since read it in the Globe, and must be permitted to cite a few of its leading features. It is lirst of all. full of repetitions, and its burden is that he is charged with

violating the Laws and Constitution of

the country, without notice, untried and unheard'."' He never seems to

have thought, that this is precisely w hat he has done toward the respectable men who have administered the affairs of the Dank! O.i the ipse dixit of llnce men, who were called Government Diieclors, he ha condemned and executed as far as be could a set

of honorable gentlemen, hut he forsooth, should not be reprobated icilhoul notice! His avowed principle in this protest, is a direct condemnation of his own conduct! 15ut this is nol it? most revolting feature. He declares himself justified in unqualified removal from ot'.iee, by the established practice of forty years. Where were his scruples about the. constitutionality of the Dank at this time. It too has received the sanction of deliberate legislation, by our wisest statesmen for about the same period. We now come to the distinct declarations which ihe protest makes. The

President afiiims in so many w ords that his is the custody of the public property;"' it is, savs he, defining w hat is

al his fole disposal, "the lands, build

tags, merchandize, clothing, arms and munitions of war,"' and then adds, that

" public money is but a pec ics of publie property,"1 adding, "that whenever, and however obtained, its custody has been, and always must be, (unless ihe Constitution be changed.) entrusted to ihe Executive department."' lie continues mo-t illogically, "whrrr. is the li)ircii(C in j'tinciflc, :; !!, r the jiullic jiftfit rly he in ihcfurm (J'urms, tiiiiditi'oix

for several years past, has been in progress designed to bring the Senate into disrepute with the people, and thereby remove the greatest check upon arbitrary encroachments from Executive power. Mr. P. spoke till the Senate adjourned, and the debate was continued by Mr. Leigh on Thursday, amidst a throng of people such as 1 have rarely seen. When the credit of having settled the Tariff question was given to Mr. Clay, the galleries resounded with echoes, and Mr. Van Duren ordered them to be cleared, and the oj'endcrs taken into custody, but before this could be done, all but two had escaped. In the house strong resolutions rebuking the President were introduced, debated, and will probably hereafter pass. On Friday ihe Senate resumed ihe same subject, and Mr. Leigh spoke for about two hours in a very pointed manner. Mr. Ewing follow ed briefly, w hen Mr. Wilkins moved that the Senate proceed to Executive business. This was resisted by Mr. Ch) ton, w ho declared he would be opposed to transacting any business until the protest, so called, was disposed of. He regarded it as a manifest breach of the piivilege of the Senate. We have dared to question

the Executive power and we have been lectured and insulted. Mr. Calhoun said he approved of Mr. Cla ton's sentiments, since our privileges were thus invaded. Let us do no business till we vindicate our

rights. Are we, said he, at the footstool of the Executive, or are we an independent and co-ordinate branch of the government? The Senate adjourned to-Monda-. ():i Sauirday the House was engaged principally on the subject of equalising ihe sal iries of officers, &c. in which much was said about increasing the pay of members, their mileage, occ.

It came to nothing, and the debate though interesting, would occupy too much of my limited space. We now come to the backing out scene. On Monday, the Senate was pretty full, Mr. Clay and the orators who wciti at Philadelphia having re

turned, when a supplemental message

came from the President who seemed

lo fear lie had gone too far. He had said in his protest, among other things equally strong, that " Congress cannot lake o'jf of the hands of the Executive flipartmcut th; custody of the public pro-

polj. tins property you perceive

he also defined; but his advisers got frightened, and in his supplement he says, " nor do I claim for the Executive any right to the possession or disposition of the public property or treasure, or any authority to interfere w ith the same, except when such possession, disposition or authority is given to him by law ; nor do I claim the right in any manner to supervise or interfere with the person enli aisled with such properly or treasure, unless he be an officer

whose appointment under the Consti

tution and Laws, is devolved upon the President alone, or in conjunction with

the Sen ale, and for whose conduct he is constitutionally responsible."

' This is creeping out with the use of ambiguities; but what hall be said of alterations made in the Protest to be sent to the Globv, for distribution ainong ihe. people? I will state the facts as they transpired in the Senate. Mr. Ewing slates that 10,000 of Ihe Protests had been printed for distribution, but th it before they were struck

i if, there were sundry alterations made in it, so as to make it less reprehensible than w hen read to the Senate!! calling Mr. Taney " the" Secretary of the Treasury, inlead of "my" Secretary. The Secretary of Ihe Senate being called upon lo slate how this was, declared that Mr. Donelson, the private

Secietary of the President, came to him on the day succeeding the prcsen-
