ABAWir APPROPRIATION. Hihington Globe, (Mr. Van Buran'i defends the veto of the Wabasb

connexion of the Executive with the

Senate is maah closer than with the House of Representatives. Upon the sabjeet of tteaties, appointments, and tbe wholerangeof Executive business, the Senate almost the only cheek. It is, therefore, of vital importance that it should be wholly exempt from Executive control. This body was looked upoa by the framers of the constitution as a sanctuary for the fcdrsa! and equal rights of the States,, and so framed aa to cherish that sentiment on the part of its membeiy. It is here aJeme tbat the federal principle baa been preserved a principle valuable to all but particularly to theamalFSiates ifor it i* ia this department alana that their perfect eqaaUfp is recogni* zed. But where, Sir, wilfbe its efljeieacy, if the doctrine contended for be established?' When, hereaAef, a Senator shall feel it to be bis duty to attempt in language wbich be may think the occasion requires, to arrest encroachment of the Executive, qr to seek redress by exposing abuse of tsust on its part, or that ef any of its sabordin&tes, he may find bis lips closed, not indeed* as of old, by gag law, but by a power far more effectual. He may perhaps be told that although it is his right to canvass freely the public act* of (hn President and his cabinet, it must be doae in a manner more decorous that their motives are not to bo rudely scanned nnd discredited that debates of tbat character, having a tendency injustly to alieufftc the confidence of the peoples,are out of.oflder that if be will shape his periods acCordifig to the prescribed form, and measure the extent und bitterness of bis denunciation by tho administration standard, he may go on— bnt if not he must desist.

In his opinion, the Senate would bfe wanting in what is owed to its constituents, to itself, to its true interests and dignity, if it could for a moment lend its sanction to a principle so untenable and so dangerous. The Senate heretofore., he taid, had not been insensible to what belonged to its rights. It was but the session before the last that the Executive, in a communication to tsr, advanced a pretension incompatible with th* constitutional rights of the Senate. Jind how was it received? It was not the exercise, but merely. Jhe assertion of a power, on his part—an assertion, it is true, wholly unsuppartable and h« believed not one would deny, most unwisely put forth. And how, he asked again, had it betn treaU&S Resolutions were introduced denouncing the unfoxutdtd assumption as an executive encroachtnent that ought to be resisted. A disposition to do so and to preserve and maintain the just rights of the body, not on our own account but in behalf of those who soot us here, was tben manifested, that iu his judgment reflected the highest honour on the body. "In ©very point of view, said Mr. V. B., in which thif subject had presented itself to his mind, it had produced but one sentiment, and that was unqualified opposition to the prerogative claimed by theChair. Although this claim of power is now for the first timo made, thOprtneip/e in which it orginatos is as old as the Government itself. 1 look apen it, sir, as the legitimate offspring of a shool of politics (which, has ia times past, agitated and greatly disturbed tbis country —of a school, the leading principle of which may be traced the great source of the political contentions which have pervaded every coontry whero tho rights of man were in any degree rcspccted. I allude, sir, to that collision which seems to be inseparable from the nature of man, between the rights of the/ew and the many—to thoso never ceasing conflicts between tho rights of the enlargement and concentration of power, on the one hand, and its limitation and distribution oa the other: Conflicts which, in England created the distinction between Whigs und Tories: the latter striving by all the means within their reach to increase the dominion and influence of the throne, at the expense of the commons and people, & the former to oounteract the exertions «of their adversariee,by abridging its dominion aud infiyence, for the ndvanoeucnt of the rights and the consequent melioration of the condition of

AN ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN. The fact of Mr. Van Baien having, is 1896, signed a petition for a branch of the United States Bank at Albany, and his recent discreditable toast of

Uunqual\fi(d

The Argus states, that money was wanting ia 18S6 at Albany, and the application was made for the branch that it was then deemed a mere question of expediency^ and the right of the bank to establish a branch was not doubted, but the designs of the bank were not tb*n developed, and »'tb« nature and intc-utioas of the institution were Imperfectly understoodit was thea "a mere fiscal agent," it is BOW a iaooster, &c. &c.

It islfi this bartfhtet! inw that MiTVan Buren attempts to pallltate his gross inconsistency. If the bank is unconstitutional now, a* he contends, it was equally so eight years ago if it is a monster, corrupting the public, and destroying the liberties of the people aov, bow came thia«aonst*r of eomtption to be coaxed and flattered, awl petitioned to have abraaeb af Albany by Mr. Van Burnt* wImm all theea (acta vera known to him I Principles never chaage—tbey are iiamatable. What is anconstitatioaai, iliagal and void at thil day, were equally so eight years ago. The people ate not to be deceived by this Cimsy explanation. Mr. Van Baren was a bank man ia 1836, as his sigaatata wil testify *c hue he WM equally so ia 1839 and isothing bat a refasal oa the part ef the bank to countenance bis pretentious to the prcsideacy, and also of the Kitchea Cabsaet to be allowed a twnsr, have lad to thia empty and hollow besuted oppositoa at tbis day.

Extract of a Utterfram a gentleman in Mississippi, to hi*friend in Ldington, Ky. dated. Mount Olymjws, Jnlg rf

A dreadful fight took place in ackson on Monday evening. Alexander McClung, who is the strong friend of Uor. Runnels, not long eiaceJa a moment of excitement, pronounced General Allen, (a lawyer of high standing) a coward nad a sconT.drel.aad applied many other abusive epithets, which Allen haring beard of, caase to Jackson on Moaday, to know ., if such was the fact aad if he bad any apology to offer. McClung replied that he had used'the expressions alluded to, and would retract nothing nor offet ao apology. They appeared in the street at the distance of a hundred gards dpart^nd each, considering it the duty of the other to attack, acted oa the defensive. They were both well armed, and though public ex[«etaiion was on tiptoe, it was disappointed—no attack was made by either.. Alter this a verbal challenge passed from Allen to McClungto fight the same evening on the bank of Pearl River. They agreed to take four pistols each, aad a large kaife, to commence walking up to each other, being placed eighty yard* apart, and fire when they pleased and In case neither should bit or kill with the pistols to close in with their knires. They commenced walking very slowly, each wid* a large duelling pistol in his hand they kept approaching slowty, until Allen said,"Now, sirr we wilt see who the damned coward is." Mr. McClung replied—"dam you,we will!" and at the same time stopping still, raised his pistol, took deliberate ahu at Allen, and fired. Allen at the same time walking slowly and elevating his pistol, as McClung fired. He sprang forward and fell prostrate on his face. McClung immediately drew another pistol and stood for

a moment waiting to see if he would get up But his fire had taken effect. He bad two balls in the pistol, one of which took him in the mouth between the chin and lip and die other on the side of the head. The distance between them at the time of the fite was thirty fburymrds. Allen it since dead.

aFc!kvr

Citizen:—For these marks of

your kindness, anticipating what 1 am aboul to say, I want words to express my gratitude. They are soothing to me indeed, on this occasion, when

am about

to take a step more important than any which has marked my political life. A step from which, if private friendships or the force of long cherished feelings could aught avail, I should have shrunk back. If, however, in the courao I now adopt, 1 wanted aught to cheer me on, besides the kindly demonstiations my presence here has called forth, I should find it in the example of the venerable man who has just addressed you. (Here Mr. Hoffman pointed to General Root.) He is identified with my earliest tecoliections of the old republican party—and, fellow-citizen, it is a proud consolation to me lo rcflect, that if 1 am sinning against consistency, I am sinning with him who has been regarded as a patriarch of that party—that 1 have turned with him from the trammels of that party to the support of cur constitution and laws. Permit me—for it does not become me to stir np your minds to a mutiny of rage—to'Btate calmly and deliberately the motives which govern me in the step I have taken. And you will pardon me for this allusion to myself, for it is the first public occasion I have had, and it is perhaps the only one I shall have, to allude to the subject. I stand before you as an officeholder, and slander has already been busy with my name. 1 hold not my office fiora a Whig majority. It is known to you, that besides the Alderman, all the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, form the appointing power to (he office whieb 1 (ill. Of those a majority are Jackson men. I turn therefore, from those whose power might harm me, to those who cannot.— Why, then, thus «i(aated, ami found a stranger among you? The answer i* at hand —mj conscienco would not let me remain with a party whose principles 1 could not approve. was an early supporter of Andrew Jackson, too early perhaps, for I supported his pretensions at a time when it was as much treason to the party to Je his friend as it is now treason to doubt the wisdom of a single measure he has adopted. I believed that his elevation to power would shed a lustre over the land be had so gloriously defended. 1 hailed with joy the late demonstrations of respect which greeted him on every side. But when 1 saw that in the midst of those demonstrations, and when the gratitude uf thoesamfe was, as it were, poured like a flood aroend his course, he had determined to gratify his personal hostility to an institution, by a step in violation of the Constitution when I found that a Secretary, acting under concientioos seme of duty, was rudely thrust from ofiicc,to make room for a more pfiant tool, through whose agency a removal of the public treasury from the hands in which the people bad placed, was effected—seeing all this, 1 pondered I could •ot support him—and so I told my party aod when the memorial approving of the removal of the ptibfic treasury, came to n*e from those to whom I owed so much, I told them 1 owed allegiance to no party who might require me to do what my coo»cience dm not approve, aad I believed the removal unwise, eoneeeasftry, and iowould not, and 1 did aot sign it. *But stifi I hesitated. I still believed XLUttt the gtoens of a tbe effects of bis policV, w^fiTdireach tSe dif-

card from his confidence used him for their gclfish not mistake me. I felt no tho Bank, I owned none of I wanted and expected nothi 1 was indeed opposed to all polies,but I found that the mtes of the United Stated Ba rounding this

and the Bank Commissioners ed for party purposes and with political ends. 1 inclined lo

IBakdi, Select fievv to the

raotive of their avowed hustihtyifrt Was opposed to Banks, but not to the good they effected. So far as they were necessat to norve the arm of enterprise, and cootr buted to swell the flowing canvass of con mcrce—so far I was willing to support them, but no farther.

But rr.y feelings were entirely lldepen deni of the United States Bank, fl look ed only to the violated laws of the Country and to the breach of tbat faith which hac been plighted to the bank at its creation 1 thought the bank entitled to the same justice as the humblest individual prosec# ed in your crimnal courts—that it shoulf have a fair trial—that the jury should fc* an impartial one and not parked. When fairly condemned, away with it but the rights given to it by the people, and identi fied with the veneral ie name of Madison were sacred and should remain untouch ed.

I should ^exhaust myself and" you by dwelling further on the various motives which presented themselves but I may add that when I found the Senate of the United States throwing themselves into the breach—that body, which Martin Van Buren, in 1828, declared to be the

*.... u«vii|"T77

Fellow-citizens, I do nol forget that the protest was followed up by a supplementary document, endeavoring to explain awny rts obnoxious .features. But i»b»t care I if the weapon aimed atmy breast be turned aside from its mark by accident or from repentance? "It is the attea^pt and not the deed confounds me."

It is not necessnry to tresspass farther on your patience. The usurpations of the Executive, and the attempt to substitute his arbitrary will for the voice of the people, are, in one word, the causes wnich have roused me. Of General Jackson 1 will not, I cannot speak unkindly. I deeply lament (hat his laurels have been tarnished by listening to the advice of false friends. I would not tear one leaf from his brow. I am willing that the glory he acquired in his country** defence should adorn the brightest page in the military annals of our country but I am unwilling that glory should play upon the free institution of our country, like the revs of the sun on a palace of ice, melting and wasting it away while it beauti(:ic* and illumines rt. I am willing that on the eighth of January, lbs brilliant achievement of New Orleans should be held up to the enthusiasm and admiration of his country, but I am more willing that on the fourth of March, the Constitution should be substituted as alone worthy of the homage of ar independent people. 1 am aware, fcllow-citizen*, that for this step, I shall be a mark for the obloquy of the party I have left—or rather, I should say, the party who have left me* I believe, that that party has pure ancl Disinterested men nits ranks. I leave amocig them warm, ardcnl*and sincere friends.— If there be a Jack.on-man present would ask htm whether the principles here complained of may not be Visited upoa his children's children.

They shrink from (he charge of de»erting the party bt^t when is this devotion (o party to cease? Are they blindly to follow the steps of a man whore course they may have approved, though they lead to a precipice.
