What am no enabled to ad 1, of reve-
latioti from the Department of State, will
prove that my instincts of aversion to lh
liaaty were even truer than reason.
In the Department of Slate there is now
a letter, signed F. 0. J. Smith, marked rt
vale, dated Portland, the 12th of August,
1R42, addressed to Mr. Webster, Secretary
of State, substantially as fallows;
It begins by congratulating Mr, Webster
on bis settlement of the Maine boundary
question, by a new mode of approaching
the subject, after forty years of diplomacy
without which new mode another forty
years of diplomacy" would have come to
nothing.
Mr. F. 0. J. Smith seems to have sug
gested the boast with which his correspon
dent, Mf. Webster hugged himself in his
elaborate vindication in the Senate.
Mr. Smith informs Mr. Webster by this
letter that he had occasion to resort to ser
vices and influences, in order to adjust the
tone and direction ef the part j presses'tni,
through them of public sentiment, to a pur
pose sa desirable of accomplishment under
Mr. Webster's administration.
Mr. Smith, therefore, submits a claim or
account, it I reccollect right, in blank for
Mr. Webster to fill up, of which he calls
for payment out of the contingent fund.
Mr. Smith presumes that the contingent
fund will be ample, and Mr. Webster's eon
trol of it complete, to do whatever ha may
think just.
The Bums Mr. Smith vouches ts got by
lim from Mr. Webster are $2000 for servi
ces connected with the northeastern boun
dary, and two years after he vouches $500
more, as will be shown.
Thirdly, Leaving the Department of
State in debt to tho secret service fund
452200.
The records of the Department show the
default oeyond nil denial or question.
They show, furthermore, that it wa9
neither paid or accounted for during nearly
two years after Mr. Webster's removal
from office.
They show several sent to him by Pres
ident Tyler's direction, urging paymsnt.and
evasive letters of excuse from Mr. Web
nter for non-piyment.
At length, a peremptory letter that ex
p osure would or might be the consequence
of more delay, produced reimbursement.
But settlement did not take place tiil the
1st February, 1815, ten days before Pres
ident Polk arrived m Washington, to be in
augurated, when Mr. Webster produced an
other voucher from Mr. F. 0. J. Smith for
an additional $500, and another voucher,
one from George Sir.ith for $500.
George Smith, since dead, denied thai
,a had ever been paid or vouched more than
$150, to which turn Mr. .Vebater reduced
the $500 at first damanded.as his agent, now
in Washington, will prove.
Granting all the vouchers Mr. Webster
produced, there was nevertheless a balance
of about SI, 200 due from him at all events
when he.lcfi the department. That sum he
vra3 in default to the secret service fund
nficr crediting everything in the way o(
payment, offset, or voucher, that he claim
ed. In all I have said in this a flair, no allu
sion has been made to any private Aggrava
tion Regrcting the exposure forced upon
rne, having afforded Mr. Webster several
opportunities to meet Lie charges in his
own.way that which he chose left me no al.
tcinati vcbul this foibeaiing justification of
myself.
A resolution, or rommittre, which I can
not institnic, will soon test the truth of my
statements.

That's the question.

which occupied an hour, I stated in ray

Mr. Ingersoll's tosiark. 'it is a lie, and the

of human frailil v we have ever been cal

The SiTffoii Question.
Among the various propositions irnde in
regard to the Oregon Q iesiioti wo hive ob
ierved none for purchasing the English
'laim. We purchased Louisiana of France.
We pun hased Florida of Spain, h ha
been intimated by our Government that it
wmi!:! treat with Mexico in a liberal ui in
ner for the sake of peace nnd good neighbor
ship, in regard to its claims upon 'J'exis
territory. The western boundary of Texas
in particular being a matter of dispute, it
might be proper, if Mexico met tis in a spl
it of civility, lo pay her a reasonable sum
'o quit all claim on her part north and euist
of the Kio Grande. Again, upon the set.le-
msnt of thi North Eastern boundary ques
tion, a 6 urn was paid lo the Slates especial
ly intemted, to procure Ihvir acquiescence
to(the treaty, and extinguish with gieaier
show of justice their claims lo that portion
of the disputed territoiy that was ceded.
However objectionable or ill-advised may
have been the treaty of Washington, of
which we are far from being either the apol
ogists or defenders, it gave an additional in
stance n the policy of the Government of
adjusting conflicting claims to territory, by
money. IV hy should not the Oregon ques
tion bo adjusted by purchase ? Can any
note certain means be devised for retaining
the whole of that important territory ? H e
are firmly opposed lo tny on rnriiiht
nhal shall give to a foreign, pnwer ' one foot
of its soil or one drop of its waters,' and
-t u c I i ws believe to be the sentiment of a
'arga majority of the American people.
Qui lit' resting upon discovery, explora
ion, settlement, contiguiiy and purclmse til
France and Spain, has btcn thoiotiglily il
lustrated and placed upon impregnable
rounds by Messrs, I'urhanan, liix and
Cas3 A titled to O'lr grounds of lijhl, tLere
tre weighty considerations of interest
prompting to nisiuta n our jiitimlietiori over
i ha whole territoiy, therefore no part of it
diO'.ild be yielded. I J u t , ns we have sc
icquired the Spanish and French claims by
purchase, there would Le no impropriety in
acquiring that of Fngland, imperfect though
we esteem it, in tho sam; manner. In pii
vate dealuiji, an individual scrujilts not lo
buy his peace whcio difi'cring with his
iieiohhor,even when esteemin; ihe claims
trd pretensions of that neighbor to be un
founded. Sacrifices of this kind tiro f.e-
qneiitly laudable and carry with t!:e;n no
taint cither of dishonor or weakness. We
nust have the whole of Oregon, and we
'vould rather have the conflicting claim pur
chased by our Government, than lute any
portion of the territory.

SPEAKER OF THE SENATE. !
It is with heartfelt satisfaction, that we
record the election of General ROSS, to
the speakership of (ho Senate, It is an
honor nwirded lo the man ana peculiarly
so to the county of Luzerne. The heavy
and absorbing interests of the coal and iron
district of Columbia and Luzerne, have ob
tained an influence in the councils of the
State in the election af General Koss, to
which they are entitled. We prsdicted on
the election of General Ross, that his sound
sense, good judgement, and affable man
nei? would place him in the Speaker's
chair. Our predictions are verified. We
are glad of tho result because '.he incum
bent it a sound ftiend of the tariff of 1112;
besauss he is opposed to the despicable pro
ject uf laying an excise on the fuet of the
poor man; because he is a sound and con
nistcni democrat; because he knows the in
terests of his constituents, and stands man
fully by them; and, finally because he is
generous, high mindfd: and noble hearted
man.- There do not pertain lo his charac
ter, those low and mean acts of political
cunning and moral dishonesty, that hang to
skirts of men with whom we are acquaint
ed. The inimei.se majority Gen. Uoss re
ceived in his imtnediato vi cinity, shows but
too forcibly, the eiiiiiatiun in which he
waalield by the men who knew him. Here.
slander fell harmlsss at his feel, and the re
corded vote ol freemen, shewed that his
slanderers were refuted and the lie cast into
their rotten teeth. 7ere, at home, the re
sort of men who have nothing at stake
themselves, and live on the good reputation
of others, could not harm him. Gen. Koss
is the son of an old veteran in the demo
cratic ranks, and for the sake of rncmorv
ol his father, we hail his election to tin
Speaker's chair.
It is creditable to the county of Luzerne
when the people have been indulged ii.
the choice of a man an honorable course h;
awaited himsbul when a packed nominaiion
has forced upon the people some seven bj
nine they have faied even to carry otr
the ends of the instruments, whoso misera
ble tools tbry have been.
The county of Luzerne owes much lo
Jiidirc Ross, fur his untiring exertions in
assisting to defeat the coul C:ci:c, the
passage of the New York and Eiie rail
toad bill; the rii.iintainance of the principle
which ate the base of the l.iriiFof 1812. Jn

I HE MONTOUR IRON RILL.
The Editor of the Danville Democrat a
few weeks ago, found fault with the State
Senat for its action upon a couple of local
bills in which he felt interested, One of these
hills was to extend the time within which
the Danville and Potts villa Kail Road Com
pany might make their contemplated road.
Fhe other bill was to allow the .Muntour 1-
ron Company to subrcribe stock in any
llridgb or Rail Road Company in lbs conn
ties of Columbia, Noithnmberlar.d ami
Schuylkill, to an amount, we belie-e, no'
exceeding one fourth of its capital. U't
have a few words lo say in relation tn.tlii"
last named bill, which was killed in the
Senate by a vole of U to 10. The Eduor
of llirDernoerai complains of a lettei written
from this county in relation to this bill, as
he alledges, and which, accoidicg to his
representation, was instrumental in de
feating it. Ho has however fallen into scv
eral errors in regard lo the letter, whit li, be
ing just now in a good humor, wo will un
dertake to correct. 1, The letter was sole
ly lo our members in the Legislature, and
was not a formal remonstrance addressed
to the Senate or Douse. 2. It was signed
by live persons, three of whom, (beinrr i
majority,) are citizens of Berwick. 3 1

Lastly; it was not prompted by any feeling
of htstiiity toward th? town which is hon
ored by Mr Caoks residence but by con
siderations of public policy alone.
When the Moomsburg R R. Iron Co
bill came up, it was amended so as to uliovv
that corporation to subscribe stock in the
Cattav issa Bridge only, and il pa.sed in
thai thane. When the Montour Iron Co.
hill came up, the Senator from this District
.ifleied im amendment giving that corpora
ion only the right lo subscribe slock in the
Danville Ilridge. As the friends of the bill
would not agree to this amendment it was
nisi, and then the bill itself was defeated,
and we have said, by a vote of 'J yeas to
10 nays. And (he rejection was right.

A GIANT CHAIN OF UAlLliOAD.
A bill has been ordered to a third leading
hi the United Stalas Senate, to aid the
Stats af Mississippi in the construction of
i railroad from Jackson, through Urandjn
to the western boundary of Alabama. As
it his itccived the siiippoit of ail parlies,
without reference to locality or polities, and
was passed to third reading, ayes 2tf, nays
3, we presume there can be no uutibt of its
finally becoming t law.
The aid is to oe given by the grant of al
ternate sections of the public land i.long the
propuscil rid. We kie pleaded '.o see that
ihere is a prospect ai'iountiiig .'most l.) a
ucrlainiy, of the passago of i:n. lull. The
railroad is a link of lbs great chain between
Chaileston and Vnks-burg, and wncii com
pleted, the coir inunicalion from I'urtlaud,
in Maine to 'ickbbtirj, Miasissippi, will be
milire, with a few trilling exceptions. It
will be one cf ihe nobltsi th'iioiig!, fares in
ihe world, and as a means of conso'.id iting
our Union, nnd bringing its rnpo-iie t.x
