Von cannot but be aware, sir, that the imputations which yn:r h'nirtta'j conveys are calculated, if bed -Vcd, to ib'Siroy my character as a man, and that the charge is one which if true, otiiit to produce my impeachaioiit and pnni-ltmrmt as a public ofTicer.

On the contrary if the whole imputation. )Oth as to motive ami tact, be a i.itirication and calumny. the punishment w hich belongs to me, if guilty, is too mild for him who wilfully makes it.

That privilege it is in no d cree mv purpose to violat?. howevr r g-o and wicked mav have boon the a'ui-e of it. Bull exercise only the common right of every cit'zen, when I inform yon., that the imputations you have cast upon me arc false in every particular, not having for the last ten years purchased nny public land or had any interest in such parchr.se. The whole charge, unless explained, must be considered the offspring of a morbid imagination or of sleepless malice. I ask you. sir, as an act due to justice, honor and truth, to retract this charge on the floor of the Senate, in as public a manner s it has been uttered it being the most aporopriate mode by which you can repair t! e injury which might other wise flow from it.

At the request of the 1'resident of the United States, I hereby certify that 1 was present in the gallery ol" the Senate of the United States on Saturday, the -1th instant, during the discussion upon the land bill, and heard some of the remarks of Mr. Cw.norx upon that subject, in which the President was charged with being a speculator in public lands.

I would state i h at I have referred to my short hand ;oles, raid find that such was the language ho used according to the best of my know 1edge and belie'". Yours, vcrv rospcetfidiv, (Signed) " W. E. DRAKE. I certify that No. 1 and No. M arctrue copies of the originals. Test: A. JACKSON Jr. I do not intend, (said Mr. C.) in what I propose to sav, to coninn nt on the character or the lang lage of this extraordinary letter. It has excited in my bosom but one feeling '.bat of pity for the weakness i-t its author, coiitcnipt lr il5 menace, , i::g trace l.imand humiliation mat odice w hieh he does. or.e oeei should I sell" in exalted a situation so unworthy oi his station. Nor do I intend to in voke the interposition ol the Semite to protect the privilege attached to a Senator from one of the Sov ereign States of this Confederacy, which lias been outraged in my icrson. I seek no aid to defend mv own privileges; and, so far from being intimidated, 1 shall be eml ohh tied to express myself with greater freedom, if possible, to denounce the corruption of the Administration, or the violation of the laws and of the constitution, in consequence of this -attempt to restrain the fioe exercise of the light of expressing my opinion upon a 1 suljects concerning the public interests secured to me by the constitution. I leave to the Senate to determine what measures the preservation of their own priv ileges demand. Much less do I intend to comply with the request, or demand, made of me; demand has no place btween equals, and I hold nivsetf within -my constitutional piiviloge, at least equal to the Chief Magistrate himself. 1, as a legislator, have a right to investigate and pronounce upon bis conduct, and to condemn his at ts freolv, whenever I consider them to be in violation of the laws and of the constitution. I, as a Senator, may j'uJg( him: he can never judge me. Mv object is to avail myself of the occasion to reiterate hat I said, as broadly and as fully as I uttered them on a former occasion, here in my place, where alone I am responsible, and where the friends of the President will have an oppi r'.unitv to cornet my statement, if erc ' - 1 - r neons, or to rente mv conclusions, n not f ii t-'l v dt awn. I spoke without notes. and it may be that I may omit something which 1 said on the former occasion that mav be deemed material, or to express myself less full and stronly than 1 then did. If so, I will thank anv Senator to remind me, so that my statement now mav be as strong and as full as then. If mv memory serves me, I opened mv remarks, when I spoke formerly In stating that so nirmy and so subtle were the devices bv which those who were in power could, in these limes, fleece the people, withouttheir knowing it, that it was almost enough to make a lover of his country despair of its liberty. I then stated that I knew of no measure whirl could better illustrate the truth of this re mark, than the one now before ii. I's nrofes-d object is to restrict the sales of public land, in order, as is avowed, to prevent Tvu-tauu, aUvi u -.vu-ucu.i event

have more than qninti ipled within llie ' license, the purchaser has to comply with grace and degradation? Do these men delasl three years? and said that to answer the condition of settlement and cultivation, light in di (honor? Do they bow to insult

this ques ion, we must look to the state of the currency. That it was owing to the extraordinary increase ol lian.v paper, which hail filled to repletion all the channels of circulation. The secretary had estimated this increase. w ithin that period, from six dollars and fifty cents per individual, to ten dollars. I'helieve the increase to be much greater the eiTects of which hae been to double the price of every article, which has not been kept down by some particular oauce. In the mean time the price of pubi c land has remained unaltered, at one dollar and twenty-live cents the acre; and the natural consequence was, that this exee-sive currency overflowed upon the public lam!, and iiis caused those extraordinary speculationv, hich it is the professed o'j?et of this bill to prevent. I then asked what hail caused this inundation of paper? '1 he answer was, the i Ixperimen'. (I love to remind the gentleman of the word,) which had removed the only restrictions that existed against the issue of bank paper. The consequence was predicted at the time it was foretold that hanks would mult i ply inmost without number, and pour forth their issues without restriction or limitation. These predictions were at the time unheeded; their truth now begins to be realized.

It is unnecessary to repeat the n in rks. in illustration of thi --. The truth of the statement is known to all the Senators, who have daily witnessed the party topics which have been drawn from this fruitful source. 1 then remarked that, if rumor were lobe tuistid, it was not only in a political point of view that those in power ail proloed by the vast means put m the hands of the Executive by the experiment, tliev had profited in a pecuniary, as weli as in a political point of view.

I I Picsident himself, one of his nephews, was an extensive adventurer in this field ot sin dilation. 1 did not name him, but I now feel uivseif called upon to do so. I mean Mr. ..IcEemore. Having established these points, I next undertook to show that this bill would consummate those speculations, and ostabish t po Heal ascoiitlcnev lad given to the which the avail myChairman anils, who experiment Hon. In prool ot the termor self of the declaration of th of the Committee on Public had stated that ihe speculators had already purchased and held a vast amount of 'public land, not less, as I understood him, than twentv-live or thirty millions of acres, and that if this bill did not pa-s, the scenes of the la-t two y ears would be repeated in this and the coming year. 1 then undertook to show, fioin the showing of the ( b iirman himself, that these speculations would prove ruinous without the aid of this bill. He had stated that the animal demand of public land, resulting from onr increased population, could not exceed live millions of acres. N o w , -umiug that the qnantity hc nd is thirty mihioi 6 i f acres, there wou.il he six veins' supply in the hands of the speculators, oven if the land offices ol the I nited States lie cl d that if hid did not pass, according to tne showing. it would take dispose of tin uible or treble the tunc to amis, which in that case. will he 111 the hands ol speeuiaiors. aii must see the certain ruin, in that event of those who have borrowed money to speculate in land; particularly, if the sales of public land should be free and open to everv one, ns it now is, to purchase to the extent of his means. I next showed that the contest was between the government, as a dealer in public, land, and ihe speculators: that th"y he'd in market atleastnn equal quantity in value to that which the Government now has (ilTered for sale, and that every restriction imposed upon the sales of Governmet tlanil, must of necessity increse the advantages of its rival dealers.
