The occasion demands that I should wjr a
few wwdi on the subjcct of the freedom of
debate, and the strong effort made by the
administration to destroy it entirely. Our
two greut securities against the citcroach
incnUof executive power, and the still more
Uuldioui cucrouchn. ats of executive cor
ruption, aio.ihe freedom of the press and
the frcrd>>m of debate in congress.
The present administration, by the use of
n species ol patronage that ought never to
have been placed in the hands of the exe
cutive, and hy other indirect mode*
of influence, have obtained a very gen
eral control over the presses of the coun
try : So that it may be usset*cd us a gcj.cr.il
truth, in reference to the approaching ah ?>
tion, that a majority of the people are in fa
vor of Gen. Jackson, and u minority of the
presses in favor of Mr. Attains. If under
these circumstances the administration couid
destroy the freedom of debate, by a system
atic denunciation of those mem bare of con
grew whom they cann>H purchase, and who
have the bo'dnevito erp-iM* their mi!-prac
tice*?they would have no so?t of difficulty
in consummating the very worst of their pur
poses. Th it they have thus endeavored to
drive liberty from the very last intrench*
meut; I unhesitatingly assert?and I have a
rij ht 11 assert it, because, it in partly in iu>
p? inon, that they hav e attempted to give the
fatal blow.
Never whs there a more infamous sent cm
of ini>*rr presentation, than that whic h w.i*
carried <"i during the last session of congress.
There was a complete fonspirncv between
anonymous letter writers at Washington,
rind the scurrilous editor* with whom the)
corresponded, t o.t he f ire stall pul lic opinion
by the grossest caricatures of the debates in
congress,?in order to prostrate those who
dated to expose the character and course of
the administration. Wh it, let me ask, j
would have been my standing at thin m uncut,
it un authentic report of my concluding
speech on the proposition to amend the cim
stitutl m, had not been presented to the pub
llc * 1 hc?itati not to believe that my charac
ter ujul refutation would have b?cn, utterly
prostituted, and thnt too by the rronrepre
set tut ions of a speech, m whicit 1 uciy tho
scveiest critic to point out a single senle.ice,
that violates cither the dignity or the deco
rum of parliamentary discussion, or what is
more important, the truth of history. 1
need scarcely r?y u> those who surround
me, that having eomntcitccd the great work
of reforming the coiu.titutioii, ina,part th-it,
is so radically dsfectkew th U our liberties
must !>e lost, if a corrective be not applied?* j
I ahull persevere in the saine c iurse that I
'have heretofore pnrsuad. Candour, ho*uv
er, retiu.res iit.it 1 should say, (hat I haveno
hope of succeeding in the promised amend
ment, while the p esct administration ron
tlnue in power,?and this furnishes a strong
additional motive?-If r.ny additional motive
could he required?for that ehangcof dynas
ty, wh'.rh I have the tallest confidence will
l>e made by the people of the United States
in IB29. No proptwition of amcndm'nt can ,
pass congress, without the concurrence of
twothirdsof Ixitli branches?and every man
who knows any thing of the influence which
every administration can exercise ov or such
a bony, must lie satisfied that the presont ad
ministration, at long as they continue to
wield the power arid patronage of the gov
ernment, can cert dnlv induce a third of one
branch of the national legislature, to vote
against the amendment in question.
It i? tiedr, tAcn/vre?il W abnoiuteiy rrr- ?
tain, that the const Hut Ion cannot be amended
to us to take from congress', and restore to thm
ften file, the ft outer of eleeihtg Ike /'resident
una Vice-President. This important fact
will have its due weight in the approaching
election.
1'hat the remind* of my opposition to the
adminbtratiott may l?e more diatfoet
r?re?ent artralnletratluH may be more rtintmet
y understood, 1 shall avail myself of thia
? ocanion to do an ..it of j tut ice to Mr. Adama,
uimI mrrrc particularly to the aectkm of the
nnion tfiih which he H more immediately
connecter!. J am aware thu a great many
of my fellow citterns in this ami in other
atptea, have been nppoapd to Mr. Adant* be
cause he ia from a non-slave holding etato?
under the ajiprchcntion that our right In re*
Intum toth it speceicsof property, would be
endangered by hi* elevation.
I believe the us apprehension* to be utterly
unfounded. I know the aentlmenta of in<?t
of the Kentlemun In cf^grvn from the New
tytKland uitd the midalc stale* on tbi* deli
cate *u'?ject, to bn eminently liberal and en
lightened. And I confidently believe that if
a prou^ltion were aubmitted to congress that
would g?> to impair, in thft slightest dutjrec,
nor constitutional right*, as slave holder*, It
could not command twenty vote*1h the popty.
lar braoeli of congress.

We understand, that Mr. Jeffcrsonhai
left behind him a Memoir of n part of bu
j own I'A end time*; he commenced Ha cotn
< position in the 77th yeat-of his age, in 18fftW
I and ftnlsbnd U In 1631. It goes back * ?
the time of his grandfather, traces the
8rogress of his own education, touches upon
ie causes and Events of thq Amertcan Re
volution, gives e perticnlar account rf tho
Declaration of Independence j preaenU many
interesting sketches of the condition and cele
brated characters w France, While he wi *
minister In that country?end terminates
with Ma acceptance of the office of Secretary of
ira/r.?He hat also left behind him for put -
location three vols, of Jna$, comprising va
rious conversations and trans:ic t ions, in which
he was concerned, while he was Sccretai/
of State. Besides these, he has prepared for
tlie press, 13 or IS vols, of coi respotidence,
labelled with the years in which they were
written. In these MS. vols, not bound, but
stitched, he has carcfclly laid away copies oF
all his interesting letters, as taken by the Po
lygraph. It is unnecessary to state, that
these letters ere full of Interest: they are ad
dressed to various p*w*n*, and on various
aubjeota; and when published, will more fully
djpplty that tplicitv of style and grandeur of
principles, for which their autnor was ?>
eminently distinguished. Some of these let -
tcrs were prior to the Revolution, and the las:
of. the series is his celcbrau-d rci.ly to M .
Weightman, written ten days before h?.<
dentn. This Is laid the very last In the fEl.
for 132$. Some of those letters are very long
-?they discuss a variety of the irvott interest
ing topics; among the rest wc have heard an
