I regret, Alr. President, that the Sen ator from Mississippi, Mr. Poiadextes9 has beeu so long absent from his seat, not only because he has been suffering pain, but because, had he been here, he would have escaped the commission of the numerous errors into which he has been led. dIi,e friends Of of Mir. ai, Bnren have not obstrueted inquiry into his copdnet, they have challenged iDves- tigation, offered it in every aud any form consistent with the obligations of the Senate to its own character. The Sen, ator from Maine, {Mr. Holmes,) sheunk from his own resolution. It was laid a. side by the votes of those opposed, con trary to the votes and wishes of the friends of those friendly to the nomina- ton. This senator was distinctly invit- ed by one of the Senators of New York, {Mr. Marcy to specify any act dishon-. orable to the character of Mir. Van Bu- ren, and pledge given that the inqui- " into it should be made in the am

 plest manner by Committee having all the powers necessary to the estab- lishment of truth. The Senator from Maine was distinctly told by the Sena- tor from South Carolina, (Mr. Hayne.) on what terms he could command his vote. He was told to cover the ground indicated, by proof, and he would join in the condemnation of the choice of the President. The Senator from Maine deliberated on this offer aud, after de- liberation, he abandoned his resolution, leaving all to grope their way to a con eiuson, as accident or prejudice might direct them. 4 promise was made, that he should have q committee if he would ventureuponit, and the offer was deliber- ately and most unequivocally declined. Yet, after all this, ;.t this eleventh hour. the Senator from mississippi says, if the friends of Van Buren will solicit a Com mittee, he will give us what he has col lected, while confined to his sick cham Der, and on which his own opinion is formed, and if the committee is not rais- cd, he will, with this matterinhis poek. ct, vote against the nomination. in order to preserve the morality of the nation endangered by the bestowal of a new office on a gambling politician.

 As the friend, personal and political. of MT: Van Buren, reject the liberal offer ot the Senator, in defiance Q. .his Threatened negative upon the noInina- ton. Let him unite with those who like him, are so anxious to preserve the morality of the country by rejecting a man whose most odious crimes is his ri- sing popularity and transcendant abili. ". The friends of fAss Van BHren wili not degrade him by asking Com mIttee, to free him from the suspicious engendered in tie. Senator's mind. in ms search after correct information. rom sources within his reach. His character wants no such justification. Does the gentleman wish to justify his vote? Let him propose a committee; he sAali have our concurrence. Does he aessre to convince the Senate? Let ihn produce the private source. In iornailon which, l venture to say, like tie only oneshe speaks of openly, is worthless in the eye of any man who is A
