HINGTO.V, 17th April, 828. In conformity with the practice of !l my predecessors, I have, during1 •n service in the offi.ee of President, •transmitted to the two Houses of

Confess, from tiwe.to time, by the lm?private Secretary, such messa I as a proper discharge of my constitutional duty appeared.to me to..re-,

o'jire cWg

On Saturday iast, he was ed with the delivery of a message to each House. Having presented that which was intended for Jhe House of Representatives, whilst Ve was passing within the Capitol, from their Hall, to the Chamber of the Senate, for the purpose of delivering the other message, he was waylaid and assaulted in the Rotunda, ly a person in the presence of a member of the House, who interposed, and separated the parties, I have thought it my duty to communicate this Occurrence to Congress, to irkose wisdom it belongs, to consider whether it is of a nature requiring ftom them any animadversion and, #«o, whether any further laws or regulations are necessary, to ensure security in the official intercourse between the President and Congress, and to {reveut disorders within the Capitol itself. In the deliberations of Congress upon this subject, it is neither expeced nor desired by me, that any consequence should be attached to the private relation in which mv secretary stands to me.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

Such, fellow-citizens, are the doings at Washington city!—The person alluded to by the President, as having committed this outrage upon his hofi and private secretary, is a fellow by the nr-^rne of Russell Jarvis, Co-Editor with Duff Green, of the

II lie knows any thing of the jnferes!s^:ni wishes of his constituents, he tended that, the dealing in ougiit to know that the course he ter had been unfair and a ks pursued is directly at war both IVrlnps Gen. Noble has fqrgoiten l.'is repeated and cmphaticdej^raiions to the ci'izens of the Wa-

jilted

As regards the motives of the Secretary at War, iq.t}iis business, I really cannot see how they can be called if. question. Geo. Noble admits that a petition was se,nt on, signed,by number of the t$e,rubers of ourjstatc Legislature, fpr the removal, and does not intimate that any countei petition or remonstrance wys. pre sented from that body Again—the Indians themselves were anxious for the removal—the Agent was in fcvor of it, and a majprity of the delegation from this state supported the measure Under these circumstan cos, could thp Secretary properly have acted otherwise ?.

Mr NOBLE' offered, the fjoljow ing resolution, which was considered Rzsolve.il, That the President of the United States be requested to communicate to t.he Senate, copies of all the recommendations, either to the President or the Secretary of War, urging the removal of the Indian Agency frprn Fort Wayne, in the State of Indiana, an$ copies of all the remonstrances, letters, names and evidences of those who opppsed the removal of the Agency The President is further requested to communicate a copy of the order of the Secretary of War, for the removal of the Agency from Fort Wayne and to state the spot of land to which the agency has been removed, and to be located, and who owns it whether the land is owned by the Indians, the ^United States, or individuals and at what time the Indian Agency was originally established at Fort Wayne.,

Mr NOHLE said that previous to taking the question on the resolution he had just submitted, he would beg permission to read a letter from the War Department, on this subject, which he had just received

Mr NOBLE then read the leCter, after which tie. spoke at large in support of the adoption of the resolution and censured in strong terms the removal of the agency from Fort Wayne. In reading the letter, lie said, to the Senate, it was by no means his intention to reflect on the Secretary of War, for whom he had the highest respect but there was an Indian bureau in the War Department, and no Indian arrows, no muskrat skins, no paintings of Chiels in that burean, should deter him from doing his duty. The letter said Mr N was one of peculiar character, it, together with Qther circumstances, would compel l)im to make his appeal to the Senate ot the United States—which he woqld do for the simple reason that he would willingly permit no man to pull the wires behind the curtain No muskrat skin

fellow for me, said Mr N The so perintendnnt of the Indian burean.jJ

told me decidedly when 1 was at hisj

office,that this agency should not be removed, and yet it has been d»..\e is true, It) of the members of the Legislature of Indiana actually recommended the removal —10 out of 79 members but he had a letter from one of those gentlemen who signed

fiiily noticed—In another part of'the "ecommendition in which he det:i papci* will he found the Resold tjoa of the

clures that itjwas distinctly under stood that the agency was to be removed to the old Treaty Ground

The object of the removal of this agency.said Mr. N was plain, it was to carry it out of one Coi gressional District where there are some 10 or 15 000 voters, to another where the waters ari troubled Mp- N. co* this rnat,urd not with J.hat he questioned the integrity ol the agent but he objected to the pol icv of the measure.

THE TARIFF.

We stated to our readers, yester day,that there was great reason to boljeve, from the junction of the Northern Jackson votes with the South, 'against all real proteciipn to 'he Woollen. Manufactures, as well as from the intrinsic burden* which the bill itself has imposed on some Darts of, the country, that it was intended, by the majority that it should be defeated in the end. The debat* of yesterday, in the House of Representatives, has fully confirmed this suggestiop. We heard it open ly avowed by several of those, from the South, who have voted on all questions wjth the majority of the Committee on Manufactures, that this was their, intention.

Mr Gilmer said.that lie voted and should vote to keep on the duties on hemp, iron, run), and molasses, to teach these \yho are for a tariff the consequences ot it. lie said he hould finally vote against the whole •.j11—that he had found it difficult to .•ring hi3 mind to pursue this system ^'legislation but as they wanted a tariff he was for making it general, & if it was all made uniform & consis nt, it was the best way to defeat it.

Mr. CambrekMig said that he should not v»te for the bill, hut he wished it to be felt in all parts the country that were for a tariff. He .vould vote to have it as obnoxious as it could be to them, and in that way to let those understand what it was who were in favor ot the scheme. This principle he thought it fair to he governed by.

Mr, Livingstorfsaid that he would not make his people alone the victim? of the tariff policy and as the bill might pass the House, he ^jvould vote to tax every thing that could be raised in the country, and let those in favor of a tariff" see the eflVct of the system. If the principle was good lor one, it was good for all. He should act on this principle, and by 'ha: course the whole must be de feated

Mr Mitchell, of South Carolina, said that the more oppressive the duties were to the great mass of the people, the bone "and sinew of the country, the more anxious he was to vote for them. He voted on that principle. We want no protection in South Carolina—hands off—keep vour distance He should not. consent to lessen any of the dalit-a in the bill, for that might aid them to pa3s it. urn-4 'Mr. Wee ins said they wished it to be made so hitter a pill that it could not he swallowed. He said

were

he thM«bl, *b»«t to sue

wc.^'

»,

cee'd in it But he should'vote against it aM at last. Mr.'Cambreleng, in reply to Mr. I)wight, of Mass., said that, if the increased duty on molasses had not boen at last struck out of the bill ol I86J4. we should have had no tariff of 1824—that it was finally arranged so as to get that duty out of the kill, and it was passed—that "ica" should rake care not to have this done now and be taken in so again.

We need not comment on the developement which these avowals furnish, of tiie character ot the bill. During ill this debate, Mr. Wright, ot New-York, ami Mr. Stevenson, ol IVtmsylvania, were sileiit They appeared to be astounded that those who havej from the beginning, voted ivith them to keep up the.*e oppres-, sive duties on hemp, molasses, luck, 6t some other articles, should nave so incautiously avowed the principles on which'the real friends of

Hoiection'to the woollen interest ..ive been so uniformly voted down. We could not have believed that any measure could have been brought in* to the Mou-e with the expectation fhat it was to be defeated, it the debate of yesterday had not so fully confirmed the suspicion. It the bill •.dull be lost in the end, we are now furnished with the means ot fixing he responsibility of it on those who have had the control of its provisions. A ''combination" jof the majority in both Houses may effect jt» |9r the minority have thus far resisted this tendency ot the question in vain. -1 National Journal.

THE TARIFF.

We recommend the following extract of a letter, from a highly resoectabfo genUe«pau, and the most xtensive woollen manufacturer west the Alleghany mountains, to the attention ut our readers. 1 he letter is dated 5th of ApnU )s2§»

Miat we could riot stand against the competition by our own strength, we would, have given up while we Had something left bi^t. to be led on from year to year, by fairpromis es and. ill founded expectations, to linger out a miserable existence, and die at last, is cruelty in the extreme. To me it would have been a most fortunate occurrence if our manufactory had burned down in 1816 or 1817j. Ail,our efforts and hopes, since then,"have been to save the establishment until the nation should be brought to see and feel the necessity and policy of protecting their own vital interests, and then compel their representatives to do their duty. tt seems this happy day has not yet dawned, and I now despair of seeing its sun rise in its splendor, dissipating the gloomy clouds that have hung round us so long. The prospect is appalling—wreck and ruin is before us and what adds to the pain and mortification we suffer, is the belief, that many men of high standing in the nation can look on with complacency, if not enjoyment at the desolation their dereliction has caused."—ib

From the Pittsburgh Gazette. Jackson at .Vew Orleans—We have already said that Gen Jackson had fallen at I^ew-Orleans, on the 8th of January last. At present we lay before our readers the following letter from a very respectable gentieman, formerly of this city, who, while here last summer on a visit, declared himself decidedly friendly to the election of General Jackson. Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated New-GMeans, Februrary 13, 1828. •4The 8th January was very flat here Steam boats, and the passengers who came down in them, out of the way, and there would have been but a poor shoW indeed. "One circumstance: The committee had to take $2000 worth of Ball tickets that night: for in the morning the tickets were IB 10, at 12 o'clock $5, and at 4 o'clock down to $3, &. few, very few, purchased even at tbat prjee* I am 'now convinced, that this is an Administration State. All the respectable part of community were perfectly quiet, did net dine with them, go to the ball, nor partake in any way of the rejoicings. All was flat, all was much belbw what was expected—and I aiii of opinion that the General was'in his own light incoming here.*arid will loose by it The account of a great many speeches having been spoken and a great' parade is not the fact.

From the Ohio Statu Journal. A writer of a letter from Washington, published in the Baltimore Chronicle, remarking upon a debate on the bill from the house, extending the franking privilege to the Speaker, thus speaks of the manner of re S at or

Van Buren's style is sharp arid sententious he is evidently a ready ebater, and would generally, I should suppose, carry his point by a coup de main. Hayne lias great energy, a happy flow of language, and whilst he plays around the difficulties which lie in his way, possesses an address and happiness of diction, which might be mistaken for argument, or perhaps it was the question he was handling, which required tact to get rid of the huge stumbling blocks which were thrown in his path! Webster spoke with great steadiness and composure—seized on the real difficulties of the case, ar.d handled them as a giant would Tom Thumb's walking stick. He reminded me of a train of heavy artillery, whose motion is slow, but whose thunders spread destruction far and wide, whilst the small arms make an immense rattling, and do their work piece meal. There was a self-possession about him that marked him for great occasions and ilthough he was playing with the distaff of Hercules there was a something that told the club was not far off, and ready to be applied whenever occasion should demand. If I may be permitted to add another ftp re, he was like the monarch of the deep, pent up in a narrow strait, and unab'e to show* the powers of his form, whilst the smaller fish are gliding and circuling around, with ample room in which to perform their varied and beautiful revolutions.

It is a striking fact and worthy of notice, that there are at present upwards of fifiy papers published in si this state which advocate and defend the present virtuous and enlightened Administration of the General Government of the United States And it is equally striking, that at the last Presidential election in 1824, not a single paper supported the claims of Mr Adams to the Presidency. Notwithstanding these tacts, which ar« so glaring and well known to the present unholy "combination," yet they 1 have the effrontery to maintain that no changes have taken place amongst the people of Pennsylvania, relative to the Presidential election. Y\ onderfulf But it requires the most extraordinary and desperate efloris to keep up the sinking spirits of the v^orshippers of the "'Military candidate," an\l prevent them from falling 'nto absolute despair
