Dhk Siks: I received yesterday your letter of the Llth inst., 111 which x oil have been kind enough to invite me to a public dinner, to be given on the 10th .lune next, to Thomas l'.wing, your la'.c Senator 111 Congress, in testimony of approbation ol his public course, in his able and manly efforts to protect the Constitution of the Lulled States against Lxecutive encroachments, his fearless exposure ot corruptions, and the distinguished ability with which he has sustained the great interest of our State and the I'nion." .No man is bettereulitled to sUCh a testimony from his fellow citizens than the eminent gentleman just named; and, allow ine to add, no public man could bo belter characterized 111 a lew w ords than he is in the language quoted from your letter. I should be happy to meet you and him at the time and place designated, and to add my feeble voice to youi just expression ol regard and respect for a faithful, able and honest public servant. My engagements, how ever do not permit mc to absent myself from niv duly litre The gallJut band of Senators', of w hom Mr. Kwmg was one, have, indeed, a mclaneholly spectacle now before them then' predictions arc fulfilled: what they tor years labored to avert has been btotight upon us; our Country, a short time ago so prosperous and happy, presents an un-Iti-.theii scene of commercial distress, yrt continuing to spread, and search out ami visiting every class of the community. The Government (as it has been the fashion of late to style it, overlooking the rep resentatives of the people) can give no relief. It has now power but to exact what the citizens is unable to furnish, and to refuse w hat bv law the Treasury is bound to pay. The same bankruptcy which has been suit through the land, like a pestilence, to desti v the fortunes of individuals, has reached the Treasury, too. Individuals may never be able to rise again.
