THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Very little lias been said, in tho Gazette, upon the subject of tlie investigation set on foot by Air. WifiO. Almost every move in it has appeared to me wrong, and not only wrong, but so wrong as ' to indicate a discreditable state of fueling in our public men. ' In the first place, there was in my judgment no propriety in getting upon this investigation, in this session of Congress. Tlie administration was near its termination. If rottenness and corruption pervaded the Departments, and s new administration was content to innko fraternity with them, by corning in without an investigation, those who were in no respect responsible might well let them do so. Resides, tho timo of Congress was required for transacting the necessary legislation of the country, rather than for an examination into abuses. In the second place, when the investigation was proposed, I was surprised tlmt tho friends of the (administration opposed it. Those charged with jmblic affairs, in a free country, should never be permitted to resist inquiry into their conduct, by a. committee of the Legislature. That they venture to do to, indicates their own convictions Unit the true spirit of freemen is asleep in tiieir constituents.In the third place, the committee was constitu ted on the most vicious plan. It was made up of those who had been most active in the debate, and who had thus committed themselves as partisans. A majority of six to three was given to tho politi cal menus ot tltn administration, whose mal-ad ministration was to be looked after. ' i'ai rness, ac cording to general, if not universal usage, in le gislative bodies, requires that tho mover of acommittee- of investigation should be made chafrman, and a majority given him favorable to his object. 1 he members should be tlie most circumspect nnd fair-minded men of tho body. Every rule of justice and integrity of action requires this. Dili no euch rule was observed in this case. .Mr. Wise was not mado chairman. Ho was placed in a mi nority, and associated with men who had publicly committed themselves upon the subject, and whose feelings had been excited, in debate, one of whom stood in the relation of personal enmity toward an individual whose conduct was particularly impli cated. All this was reprehensible. It has led to just such results as might reasonably have been anticipated. Personal altercations in the committee, and appeals to the public through the newspaper press, in the midst of the investigation. One of these wo give to-day, in which the Pro-itident of the United States is a party', and exhibits himself in character with all the rest of the proceedings. I very much doubt the propriety of tho call of the committee upon the President. That high officer ought not to bo drawn into our courts of justice, or beforo committees of Congress, to cive an account of his public transactions. The heads of Departments stnnd in a di lie rent relation to tho public, and there is a strong precedent for a refusal to be examined on their part. I refer to the famous cases of the United States, vs. Smith nnd Ogden, in New-York, in which President Jotter-' eon directed the Secretaries to disobey thesubpena (calling them to testily. True, tho Court decided tlie jr wero bound to attend, though then, it was not thought propur to suhpena the President. Th interrogatories of the committee are not such, as accord with my notions of respect. They assume that money has been expended "without authority of law." Should such assumption bo made tho predicate of propounding an inquiry, as a fact, to the public functionary accused of the illegal expenditure! There is an inquisitorial quality about it that I do not like. Tho President's letter is in very had taste. Its separate address to .Mr. Wiso is indefensible, and it is unsuilod to tho dignity of the funetions of the Chief executive to make the personal issuo it makes with that gentleman. It blends with some juBt views too largo a portion of 6orry slang. Itut I intend not to review it. The whole of the case makes a sinister impression on my mind. Those. who have read Clarendon cannot fail to trace analogies, llint every friend to our institutions must re cognize wan sorrowini apprehensions. In select committee of the Ihnne, to inquire into ike Kr- eeultre Department, January .f, ItlJi. Tho following resolutions, as amended, were nil nptail. and a copy of tho tamo directed to bo sent bv tlie chairman to each of the brails of (ha Departments. 1.

A true copy frpm the journal. Attest: 13. V. HALLETT, Clerk. LETTER OF THE PRESIDENT OK THE UNITED STATES. Wasiii.noton Citv, January 2G, IB37. Sir: I received on the evening of the 24th instant, your letter, covering a copy ot certain resolutions purporting to hnvo hecn adupted by u committee of the House of Representative', of which you are chairman, ami request that you will lay before that committee, this, my reply, which 1 hasten to make. It appears, by the published proceedings of the House of Representatives, that the committee, of which vou are chairman, was appointed on your motion. The resolution offered by you, and iinally adopted by the House, raised a direct issuo with that part ol lnv an nual message in which I held the following lnnsjuago: u lieforc concluding this paper, 1 think it due to the va rious Executive Departments, to bear testimony of their prosperous condition, ana to the ability and tegrity with which they have been conducted. It has been my aim to cnlorce in all ol tiiciu a vigilant and faithful discharge uf the public business; uud it is gratifying to me to believe that there is no just cause ol complaint, from any quarter, nt tho manner in which they have fullillt-d the object of their creation.'1 Your resolution is in the following words: ltesohcd, That so much of the President's message ub relates to the 1 condition of the various Execuiivo Departments, the ability nnd integrity with which thny havo been conducted, the vigilant and faithful discharge of tho public business ill nit of them, nnd the cuuscsof complaint from ady quarter, nt the manner in which they have fitllillcd the objects of their creation,1 bo referred to n select committee, to consist of nine members, with power to send for persons and papors, and with instructions to inquire into the condition of ihc various Execuiivo Departments, the ability nnd integrity with which they have been conducted, into the manner in which the public business has been discharged in all uf them, and into all causes of complaint, fruiu any quarter, at the mnnner in which said departments, or their bureaus or olliccs, or any of their olljccrs or i gents of every description whatever, directly or indirectly connected wiih th'-m in any manner, oilicinlly or uuoflicially, in duties pertaining to the public interest, have fulfilled or failed to accomplish theutijectsol their creation, or have violated their duties, or havo injured and impaired the public service and interest, and that said committee, in its inquiries, may refer to such periods of time as to tbciu may seem expedient nnd proper." It ulsuapjiears, from the published proceedings ot tiic House, that this resolution was accompanied and supported bv a speech of con siderable Icn:t, in which you preferred nianv severe but vague charge of corruption nnd ubuso in tho Ex ecutive Departments. Ihc resolutions adopted by the committee, as well as that adopted by theliousu itself, must bo taken in connection with your introductory speech, which gives a character to the whule proceeding. When thus regarded, it is obvious that, by the resolution uf the House, nn issue is mado with tho Presi dent of tho United States; as he had alledged, in his annual message, that the heads ol the Executive Di parlmciitB had performed their oHicinlduuVsvvithubilitv tiiitl integrity. In your speech you denied ibis; you charged litem with manifold corruptions, uud nouses ol trust,ttsyou had done in lormcr speeches, to which you re ferred; nnd you demnndeil nil investigation through the medium of a committee. Certain other members of Congress, ns nppears by the published debates, united with you in thesu accusations; nud for the purpose of asccr- tuinui! their truth ur luWchoou, tho committee you demanded was ordered to be raised, and you were placed at its head. 1 ho hrst proceeding ol tho inves tigating committee is to pass a series uf resolutions, winch, lli mtih amended in their passage, were, us understood, introduced by you, calling on the President and tho he.uls ot tho departments not to nnswer to any specific charge: not to explain any alledged abuse; not tu eive inlonualum ns lo any particular transaction; but, assuming that they havo been guilty of the charges iiIIi-iIlomI, calls upon tiiciu to furnish evidence nguiiHt themselves: After tho reiterated charges you havo made, it was to liavo been expected that you would havo been prepared to reduce iheui to specifications, und that the committee would then proceed to investigate the mat ters alledged. Hut instead of this,you resort to generalities even more vague llr-iu your original accusations, and in open violation ot tho Constitution, ami ol thai well established and wiso maxim, "Hint all men an presumed to he innocent until proven guilty, according lo the established rules ol law," you request invsel and the beads of tho departments to become our own accusers, and to furnish the evidence to convict our selves; and this call purports to bo founded on tin nuthorilv of that body in which atone, by tho Constitution, tho power of impeaching us is vested! 'I'll bends of departments may nuswer such a request ns they please, provided they do not withdraw their own iiiiio, nml that ol the ollicers under their direction, from the public bii-uncss, to (he injury thereof. To that business, I shall direct thetu-io devote ihcmsclv in preference tonny illegal nnd unconstitutional calls fur the intormatiim, no matter Irom what source it may come, or however anxious they may bo to meet it For mvsclf, I shall Tepid all such attempts ns an inva sion of tho principles of justice, us well ns of the Con stitution: and I slim fs coin it mv sacred uutv to I u people uf tho United States, lo resist llient us I would the establishment ol n Spanish inoutsitiun. If, after all the severo accusations contained in the various speeches of yourself and your associates, you nro unwilling ol your own nccord to bring spccihe charges, then 1 request vour conimittco tu cull yourself nnd vour nssociuies, and every other member ot Lon gress who has made tho general ehargo of corruption m testify before God nnd our country, w helber you or they know of nny specific corruption or abuse tf trust in tho Executive Departments; and it so, what is it. If you nre nblo to point to any case where there is the slightest reason to suspect corruption ur abuse uf trust, no obstnele which 1 can remove shall be interposed to prevent tho lullest scrutiny by nil legal means. Tho olliccs of all the departments will he opened to you, and every proper facility furnished for ibis purpose. I hope, sir, that we shall at last have your charges, and that vou will proceed to investitrato them, not liko an inquisitor, but in tho accustomed mode. If you cither will not make specific accusations, or if, when made, you attempt to establish t lie in by making firemen their uwn uccuscrs, you will not expect me to countenance your proceedings. In tho abort period which rcmiiius nt mv ullu-uil duty, I shall emlenvor, ns I have heretofore endeavored, to fulfill the obligations of that oath of olliee, by which, I engaged, "to the best of mv ubility, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of ihc United States;" nud for Ibis, and other reasons of the most solemn character, 1 shah, on tho ono hand, cause every possible Incline, consistent with law and ius'ice, tu bo u veil lo the invcstiiralion of specific, lanirible charges, and on the other, shall repudi ate all nttempis to invade the just righisof the Executive Depnrtmeiils, nnd uf the individuals composing the same. If, a lor nil your clamor, you will make no spe-cilic chnrges, or bring no proof of such ns shall he made, you nnd vournssoeiati s must bo regarded by the good people of tho United States ns tho authors of unfounded calumnies; nnd the public servants whom you havo assailed, will, in the estimation of nil honorablo men, stnnd fully acquitted. In tho mean time, I rnnnot hut express mv astonish ment that members of Congress should call tor information as lo the names of persons to whom contingent mniievs are paid, and the objects' of thuse tiuvments. when there nre sixslnnding committees under theseventy-seventh rulo of the House of Representatives, wuunc npriaiii uuiicb urc 10 examine nnnuuiiy into ail the details of those expenditures in each of tho Execu tive Departments. The like remark is applicable to some other branches of the information sought by you, ample details in respect to which are to be found in the rcporta laid before Congress, and now on your files, and to which I recommend you tu have recourse. I am, respectfully; &c. ISigncd, ANDREW JACKSON. To the Hon. Henry A. Wise, Cliairmim of the Inrestigating Committee of the abuses an t corruptions charged against the Executive Departments. I certify that this is a true copy from 'the original sent. Test: A. JACKSON, jun. Private Secretary, See. RANDOLPHIANA. CO.VVCBSATln.VS Of JOHN K ANDOU'll, OF ROANOKE, ON HOARD THE Slltr AM1TV, IN 1822. We nre aware, that these "sayings and doings" have seen the light before', as anecdotes of the eccentric Virginian; and as they have been gath-ered together by the Editor of the New-York Mirror wo have thought proper to publish to-day as much of the collection as our columns will admit of. l'ittsburgh Advocate. "When speaking of his younger days, ho used, to say, that whatever mentul advantages ho possessed wero owing to tho assiduous care of his mother and he used to speak of her in the most glowing terms of filial affection, never using her name without the exclamation of "'My mother uotl bless her: Ho made us well acquainted with his favorite slave, 'J uba,' whom he daily cited for some good quality or another. "Ho has not half the talents of my man Juba, sir," was a frequent expression, when discussing tho merits ol a politician whom he disliked. His knowledge of the most important light houses, points of land, latitude and longitude of places, was very great, and astonished even our Captain, with whom ho mndo several amusing bets on the subject, which by the wny, he always won. 1 wo or three clays bclurc we made the land, we were sitting on the dock, while the Cap- tain was taking nn observation at noon. "Pray," said Itandolph, "what is our latitude and longi tude now!' I he Captain told him, "How do we head by the campass!" This was nlso told him, "Now, Captain, ran you tell me, ' off the book, what land we shall nrst make, it we continue in our present course! "why," replied the Cap tain, "if you show mo the chart, 1 11 tell you in a minute." "Oh no!" exclaimed Itandolph, "vou must go by head work 1 Buy we shall hit "Sjigo head," and I'll back my opinion by a pipo of wine or Hchuyduin gin," a favorite bet with him. "I won't bet any more," replied the Captain; "but I'll prove you tn bo wrong by tho chart, for I say wo shull make the MullofCantiro." "Ily George, your'e always right," shouted the Captain, as the line touched Sligo head "I'll never contradict any assertion of yours again, -Mr. Randolph, upon any point." On tho fifth of April we made the land about twelve o'c',iek; but as the wind had varied after Randolph's predictions about Sligo head, we lirst saw tho mountains of Doncgall, which are larthcr north. After wo had gono some hundred and fif ty miles along tho coast, which is very barren to the eye, Randolph said to me, " ell, sir, now I believe the story told by Arthur Young, uf a farmer, who took his son out walking a few miles distant from his home in tho county of Meuth they passed a tree the boy stopped and asked 'ruther, what is that! never havingseen one bo fore! Here we have been sailing by Ireland for a whole day, and I hive not laid eyes on a single tree! "My knowledge of Ireland," said ho to mo one morning, "seems to astonish yuli as much ns it did Mr. Cunning's servant at Washington, the other d ly. Ho brought me a note from his master who, by the way, is a superior man, sir und as soon as ho spoko 1 recognized the brogue, and said to linn 'oure Irom Munster, are you not! '1 am, plaiso your honor,' replied he, astonished at tho question, 'rroiti the county ol Clare, 1 pre Parliament itself, sink into utter insignificance. Yes, sir, Elizabeth Fry in Newgate, and have witnessed the miraculous efforts of truo Christiani ty upon the niost depraved of human beings bad women who are worse; if possible, than the devil himself; and yet Mrs. Fry has tamed them into subjection, and they weep repentant tears whenever she addresses them. Nothing but reli gion could effect this; and what can be a greater iniraclo than the conversion ot a degraucu woman, taken from the dregs of society; and you must also see this wonder. Come, sir, this is her morning for visiting the prisoners, and we shall be just in time; I will introduce you, as she has permitted me to bring my tnendswilhmo. We immediately ordered a carriage and drove to Mrs. Fry's houso.but found, to our disappoint ment, that the death of a relative naa suuueniy called her to the country.

' 'And tin: Kniirlit of (ilin un tlie banks of the Shannon!' Yets, sir;' nnd then alter a p;unn and a low bow, lie said '.Mirht 1 make bould to ax, sir, how lon you lived in ;iure!' 'I never was in Europe, said I, 'hut I hope to be there noon.' 'Oh don't bo tiller iiiiikiiii' a fool ol mo laitli you re a bit of an Irishman; for you havo the brogue, and you know itis much of the country as 1 do myself, and more too, 1 m tliiiikin. It was in vain that 1 assured him I hud never seen Ireland lie went away still insistiiiL' that I had lived there." No wonder poor 1'addy should have been do ceived, when wo on board the ship, both English and Irish, were uilen mndo to blush hy tho supe rior local information that Mr. Randolph possessed even ol tho very counties in which wo were born ! He used to amiiso himself with two Yorkshire pissonirurs, by speaking in the peculiar dialect of llio'N est Kiiiinn;, und it they sometimes corrected any expressions, ho would cuter into a regular ar- L' uncut, nml quota authorities such as ballads story books, old songs, cVc, to prove that ho was correct, and, in most instances, they had to confess that he was right. All this was done in the most perfect good humor, and it alVurded us a vast deal of amusement; for he would enter into thess discussions with ns much apparent zeal as if he were speaking on the tariff bill in Congress. One thy I asked him who was his favorite- candidate torthe presidency, alter Mr. .Monroe's time would expire! "Why, sir," replied hu, "if it had not been for his wuono voto on the Missouri question, I should tit once say Hufus King; ho is the best man north of tho Potomac, nnd a gentleman too, of the old school; and best of all, sir, an honest man rather a scarce article now among the politicians. A s;,d mistake, sir, ho mado on that question; hut ho thought he was right, and I esteem him still, but he will not now do for president. The New England men, sir, would rob us ol our patrimonial slaves and our patrimonial oaks, and they are trying to obtain soma of our patrimonial acres also; but it will not answer, sir. Old Virginia has some strength left yet, hntl we must thcrt'lbro gel a southern man for president." He was very free in expressing his opinions of all the great political characters, both living and dead, and his satire was cutting. (Sometimes ho nifnised us by repenting parts of his speeches in Congress, on important subjects, especially on the late war and the bankrupt bill, both of which he opposed most violently. Oncu or twice during tho voyngo he lost his temper; but generally speaking, ho was in a good humor, and lull of spirits, and contributed greatly to our amusement. I regret ted very much that wo had to part in Liverpool, but wo agreed to meet again, during the summer, in London. In the month of Juno business took mo to Lon don, and my father accompanied me. I immediately called at Randolph's lodgings, and was glad to find him in town. The next day I introduced him to my father, who was greatly pleased with him. In the course nl our conversation ho sud donly roso from his chair, and said, in his most imposing manner, "Sir, I have lately seen the greatest curiosity in London nyo.nud in England too compared to which, Westminster Abbey, the Tower, Somerset House, Waterloo Bridge, and M CAtillE, M'VEY 4 CO., Commission Merrlinnts, Water street, Portsmouth, Ohio.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE. Very little lias been said, in tho Gazette, upon the subject of tlie investigation set on foot by Air. WifiO. Almost every move in it has appeared to me wrong, and not only wrong, but so wrong as ' to indicate a discreditable state of fueling in our public men. ' In the first place, there was in my judgment no propriety in getting upon this investigation, in this session of Congress. Tlie administration was near its termination. If rottenness and corruption pervaded the Departments, and s new administration was content to innko fraternity with them, by corning in without an investigation, those who were in no respect responsible might well let them do so. Resides, tho timo of Congress was required for transacting the necessary legislation of the country, rather than for an examination into abuses. In the second place, when the investigation was proposed, I was surprised tlmt tho friends of the (administration opposed it. Those charged with jmblic affairs, in a free country, should never be permitted to resist inquiry into their conduct, by a. committee of the Legislature. That they venture to do to, indicates their own convictions Unit the true spirit of freemen is asleep in tiieir constituents.In the third place, the committee was constitu ted on the most vicious plan. It was made up of those who had been most active in the debate, and who had thus committed themselves as partisans. A majority of six to three was given to tho politi cal menus ot tltn administration, whose mal-ad ministration was to be looked after. ' i'ai rness, ac cording to general, if not universal usage, in le gislative bodies, requires that tho mover of acommittee- of investigation should be made chafrman, and a majority given him favorable to his object. 1 he members should be tlie most circumspect nnd fair-minded men of tho body. Every rule of justice and integrity of action requires this. Dili no euch rule was observed in this case. .Mr. Wise was not mado chairman. Ho was placed in a mi nority, and associated with men who had publicly committed themselves upon the subject, and whose feelings had been excited, in debate, one of whom stood in the relation of personal enmity toward an individual whose conduct was particularly impli cated. All this was reprehensible. It has led to just such results as might reasonably have been anticipated. Personal altercations in the committee, and appeals to the public through the newspaper press, in the midst of the investigation. One of these wo give to-day, in which the Pro-itident of the United States is a party', and exhibits himself in character with all the rest of the proceedings. I very much doubt the propriety of tho call of the committee upon the President. That high officer ought not to bo drawn into our courts of justice, or beforo committees of Congress, to cive an account of his public transactions. The heads of Departments stnnd in a di lie rent relation to tho public, and there is a strong precedent for a refusal to be examined on their part. I refer to the famous cases of the United States, vs. Smith nnd Ogden, in New-York, in which President Jotter-' eon directed the Secretaries to disobey thesubpena (calling them to testily. True, tho Court decided tlie jr wero bound to attend, though then, it was not thought propur to suhpena the President. Th interrogatories of the committee are not such, as accord with my notions of respect. They assume that money has been expended "without authority of law." Should such assumption bo made tho predicate of propounding an inquiry, as a fact, to the public functionary accused of the illegal expenditure! There is an inquisitorial quality about it that I do not like. Tho President's letter is in very had taste. Its separate address to .Mr. Wiso is indefensible, and it is unsuilod to tho dignity of the funetions of the Chief executive to make the personal issuo it makes with that gentleman. It blends with some juBt views too largo a portion of 6orry slang. Itut I intend not to review it. The whole of the case makes a sinister impression on my mind. Those. who have read Clarendon cannot fail to trace analogies, llint every friend to our institutions must re cognize wan sorrowini apprehensions. In select committee of the Ihnne, to inquire into ike Kr- eeultre Department, January .f, ItlJi. Tho following resolutions, as amended, were nil nptail. and a copy of tho tamo directed to bo sent bv tlie chairman to each of the brails of (ha Departments. 1.

A true copy frpm the journal. Attest: 13. V. HALLETT, Clerk. LETTER OF THE PRESIDENT OK THE UNITED STATES. Wasiii.noton Citv, January 2G, IB37. Sir: I received on the evening of the 24th instant, your letter, covering a copy ot certain resolutions purporting to hnvo hecn adupted by u committee of the House of Representative', of which you are chairman, ami request that you will lay before that committee, this, my reply, which 1 hasten to make. It appears, by the published proceedings of the House of Representatives, that the committee, of which vou are chairman, was appointed on your motion. The resolution offered by you, and iinally adopted by the House, raised a direct issuo with that part ol lnv an nual message in which I held the following lnnsjuago: u lieforc concluding this paper, 1 think it due to the va rious Executive Departments, to bear testimony of their prosperous condition, ana to the ability and tegrity with which they have been conducted. It has been my aim to cnlorce in all ol tiiciu a vigilant and faithful discharge uf the public business; uud it is gratifying to me to believe that there is no just cause ol complaint, from any quarter, nt tho manner in which they have fullillt-d the object of their creation.'1 Your resolution is in the following words: ltesohcd, That so much of the President's message ub relates to the 1 condition of the various Execuiivo Departments, the ability nnd integrity with which thny havo been conducted, the vigilant and faithful discharge of tho public business ill nit of them, nnd the cuuscsof complaint from ady quarter, nt the manner in which they have fitllillcd the objects of their creation,1 bo referred to n select committee, to consist of nine members, with power to send for persons and papors, and with instructions to inquire into the condition of ihc various Execuiivo Departments, the ability nnd integrity with which they have been conducted, into the manner in which the public business has been discharged in all uf them, and into all causes of complaint, fruiu any quarter, at the mnnner in which said departments, or their bureaus or olliccs, or any of their olljccrs or i gents of every description whatever, directly or indirectly connected wiih th'-m in any manner, oilicinlly or uuoflicially, in duties pertaining to the public interest, have fulfilled or failed to accomplish theutijectsol their creation, or have violated their duties, or havo injured and impaired the public service and interest, and that said committee, in its inquiries, may refer to such periods of time as to tbciu may seem expedient nnd proper." It ulsuapjiears, from the published proceedings ot tiic House, that this resolution was accompanied and supported bv a speech of con siderable Icn:t, in which you preferred nianv severe but vague charge of corruption nnd ubuso in tho Ex ecutive Departments. Ihc resolutions adopted by the committee, as well as that adopted by theliousu itself, must bo taken in connection with your introductory speech, which gives a character to the whule proceeding. When thus regarded, it is obvious that, by the resolution uf the House, nn issue is mado with tho Presi dent of tho United States; as he had alledged, in his annual message, that the heads ol the Executive Di parlmciitB had performed their oHicinlduuVsvvithubilitv tiiitl integrity. In your speech you denied ibis; you charged litem with manifold corruptions, uud nouses ol trust,ttsyou had done in lormcr speeches, to which you re ferred; nnd you demnndeil nil investigation through the medium of a committee. Certain other members of Congress, ns nppears by the published debates, united with you in thesu accusations; nud for the purpose of asccr- tuinui! their truth ur luWchoou, tho committee you demanded was ordered to be raised, and you were placed at its head. 1 ho hrst proceeding ol tho inves tigating committee is to pass a series uf resolutions, winch, lli mtih amended in their passage, were, us understood, introduced by you, calling on the President and tho he.uls ot tho departments not to nnswer to any specific charge: not to explain any alledged abuse; not tu eive inlonualum ns lo any particular transaction; but, assuming that they havo been guilty of the charges iiIIi-iIlomI, calls upon tiiciu to furnish evidence nguiiHt themselves: After tho reiterated charges you havo made, it was to liavo been expected that you would havo been prepared to reduce iheui to specifications, und that the committee would then proceed to investigate the mat ters alledged. Hut instead of this,you resort to generalities even more vague llr-iu your original accusations, and in open violation ot tho Constitution, ami ol thai well established and wiso maxim, "Hint all men an presumed to he innocent until proven guilty, according lo the established rules ol law," you request invsel and the beads of tho departments to become our own accusers, and to furnish the evidence to convict our selves; and this call purports to bo founded on tin nuthorilv of that body in which atone, by tho Constitution, tho power of impeaching us is vested! 'I'll bends of departments may nuswer such a request ns they please, provided they do not withdraw their own iiiiio, nml that ol the ollicers under their direction, from the public bii-uncss, to (he injury thereof. To that business, I shall direct thetu-io devote ihcmsclv in preference tonny illegal nnd unconstitutional calls fur the intormatiim, no matter Irom what source it may come, or however anxious they may bo to meet it For mvsclf, I shall Tepid all such attempts ns an inva sion of tho principles of justice, us well ns of the Con stitution: and I slim fs coin it mv sacred uutv to I u people uf tho United States, lo resist llient us I would the establishment ol n Spanish inoutsitiun. If, after all the severo accusations contained in the various speeches of yourself and your associates, you nro unwilling ol your own nccord to bring spccihe charges, then 1 request vour conimittco tu cull yourself nnd vour nssociuies, and every other member ot Lon gress who has made tho general ehargo of corruption m testify before God nnd our country, w helber you or they know of nny specific corruption or abuse tf trust in tho Executive Departments; and it so, what is it. If you nre nblo to point to any case where there is the slightest reason to suspect corruption ur abuse uf trust, no obstnele which 1 can remove shall be interposed to prevent tho lullest scrutiny by nil legal means. Tho olliccs of all the departments will he opened to you, and every proper facility furnished for ibis purpose. I hope, sir, that we shall at last have your charges, and that vou will proceed to investitrato them, not liko an inquisitor, but in tho accustomed mode. If you cither will not make specific accusations, or if, when made, you attempt to establish t lie in by making firemen their uwn uccuscrs, you will not expect me to countenance your proceedings. In tho abort period which rcmiiius nt mv ullu-uil duty, I shall emlenvor, ns I have heretofore endeavored, to fulfill the obligations of that oath of olliee, by which, I engaged, "to the best of mv ubility, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of ihc United States;" nud for Ibis, and other reasons of the most solemn character, 1 shah, on tho ono hand, cause every possible Incline, consistent with law and ius'ice, tu bo u veil lo the invcstiiralion of specific, lanirible charges, and on the other, shall repudi ate all nttempis to invade the just righisof the Executive Depnrtmeiils, nnd uf the individuals composing the same. If, a lor nil your clamor, you will make no spe-cilic chnrges, or bring no proof of such ns shall he made, you nnd vournssoeiati s must bo regarded by the good people of tho United States ns tho authors of unfounded calumnies; nnd the public servants whom you havo assailed, will, in the estimation of nil honorablo men, stnnd fully acquitted. In tho mean time, I rnnnot hut express mv astonish ment that members of Congress should call tor information as lo the names of persons to whom contingent mniievs are paid, and the objects' of thuse tiuvments. when there nre sixslnnding committees under theseventy-seventh rulo of the House of Representatives, wuunc npriaiii uuiicb urc 10 examine nnnuuiiy into ail the details of those expenditures in each of tho Execu tive Departments. The like remark is applicable to some other branches of the information sought by you, ample details in respect to which are to be found in the rcporta laid before Congress, and now on your files, and to which I recommend you tu have recourse. I am, respectfully; &c. ISigncd, ANDREW JACKSON. To the Hon. Henry A. Wise, Cliairmim of the Inrestigating Committee of the abuses an t corruptions charged against the Executive Departments. I certify that this is a true copy from 'the original sent. Test: A. JACKSON, jun. Private Secretary, See. RANDOLPHIANA. CO.VVCBSATln.VS Of JOHN K ANDOU'll, OF ROANOKE, ON HOARD THE Slltr AM1TV, IN 1822. We nre aware, that these "sayings and doings" have seen the light before', as anecdotes of the eccentric Virginian; and as they have been gath-ered together by the Editor of the New-York Mirror wo have thought proper to publish to-day as much of the collection as our columns will admit of. l'ittsburgh Advocate. "When speaking of his younger days, ho used, to say, that whatever mentul advantages ho possessed wero owing to tho assiduous care of his mother and he used to speak of her in the most glowing terms of filial affection, never using her name without the exclamation of "'My mother uotl bless her: Ho made us well acquainted with his favorite slave, 'J uba,' whom he daily cited for some good quality or another. "Ho has not half the talents of my man Juba, sir," was a frequent expression, when discussing tho merits ol a politician whom he disliked. His knowledge of the most important light houses, points of land, latitude and longitude of places, was very great, and astonished even our Captain, with whom ho mndo several amusing bets on the subject, which by the wny, he always won. 1 wo or three clays bclurc we made the land, we were sitting on the dock, while the Cap- tain was taking nn observation at noon. "Pray," said Itandolph, "what is our latitude and longi tude now!' I he Captain told him, "How do we head by the campass!" This was nlso told him, "Now, Captain, ran you tell me, ' off the book, what land we shall nrst make, it we continue in our present course! "why," replied the Cap tain, "if you show mo the chart, 1 11 tell you in a minute." "Oh no!" exclaimed Itandolph, "vou must go by head work 1 Buy we shall hit "Sjigo head," and I'll back my opinion by a pipo of wine or Hchuyduin gin," a favorite bet with him. "I won't bet any more," replied the Captain; "but I'll prove you tn bo wrong by tho chart, for I say wo shull make the MullofCantiro." "Ily George, your'e always right," shouted the Captain, as the line touched Sligo head "I'll never contradict any assertion of yours again, -Mr. Randolph, upon any point." On tho fifth of April we made the land about twelve o'c',iek; but as the wind had varied after Randolph's predictions about Sligo head, we lirst saw tho mountains of Doncgall, which are larthcr north. After wo had gono some hundred and fif ty miles along tho coast, which is very barren to the eye, Randolph said to me, " ell, sir, now I believe the story told by Arthur Young, uf a farmer, who took his son out walking a few miles distant from his home in tho county of Meuth they passed a tree the boy stopped and asked 'ruther, what is that! never havingseen one bo fore! Here we have been sailing by Ireland for a whole day, and I hive not laid eyes on a single tree! "My knowledge of Ireland," said ho to mo one morning, "seems to astonish yuli as much ns it did Mr. Cunning's servant at Washington, the other d ly. Ho brought me a note from his master who, by the way, is a superior man, sir und as soon as ho spoko 1 recognized the brogue, and said to linn 'oure Irom Munster, are you not! '1 am, plaiso your honor,' replied he, astonished at tho question, 'rroiti the county ol Clare, 1 pre Parliament itself, sink into utter insignificance. Yes, sir, Elizabeth Fry in Newgate, and have witnessed the miraculous efforts of truo Christiani ty upon the niost depraved of human beings bad women who are worse; if possible, than the devil himself; and yet Mrs. Fry has tamed them into subjection, and they weep repentant tears whenever she addresses them. Nothing but reli gion could effect this; and what can be a greater iniraclo than the conversion ot a degraucu woman, taken from the dregs of society; and you must also see this wonder. Come, sir, this is her morning for visiting the prisoners, and we shall be just in time; I will introduce you, as she has permitted me to bring my tnendswilhmo. We immediately ordered a carriage and drove to Mrs. Fry's houso.but found, to our disappoint ment, that the death of a relative naa suuueniy called her to the country.

' 'And tin: Kniirlit of (ilin un tlie banks of the Shannon!' Yets, sir;' nnd then alter a p;unn and a low bow, lie said '.Mirht 1 make bould to ax, sir, how lon you lived in ;iure!' 'I never was in Europe, said I, 'hut I hope to be there noon.' 'Oh don't bo tiller iiiiikiiii' a fool ol mo laitli you re a bit of an Irishman; for you havo the brogue, and you know itis much of the country as 1 do myself, and more too, 1 m tliiiikin. It was in vain that 1 assured him I hud never seen Ireland lie went away still insistiiiL' that I had lived there." No wonder poor 1'addy should have been do ceived, when wo on board the ship, both English and Irish, were uilen mndo to blush hy tho supe rior local information that Mr. Randolph possessed even ol tho very counties in which wo were born ! He used to amiiso himself with two Yorkshire pissonirurs, by speaking in the peculiar dialect of llio'N est Kiiiinn;, und it they sometimes corrected any expressions, ho would cuter into a regular ar- L' uncut, nml quota authorities such as ballads story books, old songs, cVc, to prove that ho was correct, and, in most instances, they had to confess that he was right. All this was done in the most perfect good humor, and it alVurded us a vast deal of amusement; for he would enter into thess discussions with ns much apparent zeal as if he were speaking on the tariff bill in Congress. One thy I asked him who was his favorite- candidate torthe presidency, alter Mr. .Monroe's time would expire! "Why, sir," replied hu, "if it had not been for his wuono voto on the Missouri question, I should tit once say Hufus King; ho is the best man north of tho Potomac, nnd a gentleman too, of the old school; and best of all, sir, an honest man rather a scarce article now among the politicians. A s;,d mistake, sir, ho mado on that question; hut ho thought he was right, and I esteem him still, but he will not now do for president. The New England men, sir, would rob us ol our patrimonial slaves and our patrimonial oaks, and they are trying to obtain soma of our patrimonial acres also; but it will not answer, sir. Old Virginia has some strength left yet, hntl we must thcrt'lbro gel a southern man for president." He was very free in expressing his opinions of all the great political characters, both living and dead, and his satire was cutting. (Sometimes ho nifnised us by repenting parts of his speeches in Congress, on important subjects, especially on the late war and the bankrupt bill, both of which he opposed most violently. Oncu or twice during tho voyngo he lost his temper; but generally speaking, ho was in a good humor, and lull of spirits, and contributed greatly to our amusement. I regret ted very much that wo had to part in Liverpool, but wo agreed to meet again, during the summer, in London. In the month of Juno business took mo to Lon don, and my father accompanied me. I immediately called at Randolph's lodgings, and was glad to find him in town. The next day I introduced him to my father, who was greatly pleased with him. In the course nl our conversation ho sud donly roso from his chair, and said, in his most imposing manner, "Sir, I have lately seen the greatest curiosity in London nyo.nud in England too compared to which, Westminster Abbey, the Tower, Somerset House, Waterloo Bridge, and M CAtillE, M'VEY 4 CO., Commission Merrlinnts, Water street, Portsmouth, Ohio.
