Stansbury, in the streets of the capital, for words spoken by him in debate. The expense incurred by this outrageous invasion of the privilege of speech guarantied to the members of congress by the usages of legislation, the constitution and laws, may well be charged to the credit of the President, inasmuch as General Hous- ton's conduct was approved of by him, in strong and une- quivocal terms. These items of expense are given as only exemplifica- tions, by which we may estimate the wisdom and... economy^ which has cost the country already ten millions of dollars more than the administration of Mr. Adams. After having expressed his opinion that the Chief Magis- trate would be better enabled to approach the solemn re- sponsibilities of his office uncommitted to any other course than the strict line of constitutional duty, by limiting the duration of his office to one term, we find him not only con- senting to stand as a candidate for a second term, but that his disposition for a re-election might appear to be in con- formity to the public sentiment, we find him even soliciting his own nomination, which was highly derogatory to the dignity of his office, dishonorable to his character, and dis- graceful to his country.
