It boots not how, ror wheretbre; but his soul

lbeyond Lake Huron. [Go on.] Then
iyou must pardon the appearance of ego-
ltism. Gentlemen,—It was my honorable
‘task, after five years of exposed service,
about the upper great lakes and beyond
them, to superintend the establishment of
the now much tall-"ed of 49th parallel of
North latitude, at the Lake of the Woods,
in the year 1825, and there to erect a
monument. I tell you, as a fact, that for
a distance of one thousand miles before I
reached that point—tliough I visited nu-
merous posts and forts, as they are called,
of the for traders, between the months of
May and October, which are the most fa-
vorable to vegetation-—I never could ob-
tain one single vegetable—a potatoe. ‘car-
rot, turuip, or even a salad-—to check the
stringent thirst which our meat produced,
op to allay the apprehension of scurvey.

From the New Haven Palladium.
Felloia Ciiizewsqf the Senate,
and of’ theffouseqf‘ Representatives :
I desire to express to you my profound
gratitude for calling me to the high sta-
tion I now occupy. I am the more indebt-
ed, bccause it was the deliberate intention
of the people to defeat me, and had it not
been for you, and your tender regard for
the rights of minorities, I should have
been erigaged in :1 sister city in the more
humble duties of my profession. I have a
very. great p‘1l‘tlull!yful' minorities, and ti
peculiar disli e to majorities, especially
that whicli prevailed last year, and which
prevented my successs at it period when
it was particularly desirable and most
anxiously expected. VVhen, gentlemen, I-
speak reproaclifully of majorities, you will
understand me to have more special ref-
erence to ‘Whig, alias Federal majorities;
Iknow something: of the federal charac-Q
ter, having myself been a “federalist of the?
first water,” which fact was a subject of;
early record in my favorite paper thel
Hartford Times—und it can no, more be
washed out than the spots on the Leopard’s
hide. Whigs, alias Federalists, have no
right.to constitute ti majority, it being the
opinion of most democrats'that they are
unfit to govern. For this reason I feel
not the slightest degree of delicacy in as-
suming the station to which accident has
enabled you to call me, and l shall write
this my message, ‘ail caplandizm vulgus.’
As some of you may not understand Let-
in, I will translate for you. I mean that
though my message is addressed to you,
gentlemen, it is intended more especially
ti) tickle the fancy of grouncllings, whose
votes weigh as heavy as those of better
men.
Our State Government is fundamentally
right in its construction; and under its
operation, my party is occasionally in the
ascendant, but it ought to be at all times,
and one democrat being in my mind of
more value than two wbigs, your atten-
tion is particularly directed to those errors
in legislation which have enabled the
whigs from time to time to hold the reins
of power, and you are advised to enact
such laws as will in your opinion have a
tendency to prevent such injustice here-
after. One of the most oppressive laws
on the Statute Book, is that termed in
common parlance “The Registry Law.”
Under this law, gentlemen,no democrat
can vote but once——ii deprivation not to be,
endured by those who have tasted the
fruits of a larger liberty. Such a law,
gentlemen, “is felt to be adverse to the
exercise of the rights of the people. It is
an impediment in their way-an embai'ass-
inent——an entanglement,” which ought not
to be. To be sure, it is simply a settle-
ment belore hand, when there is time and
opportunity to investigate the claims of
those offering to vote, but the democracy
will do much better when permitted
to pass along and dcposit' their votes
as often as they think necessary to
secure the result, when a large crowd is
pressing behind them. Depend upon it,
gentlemen, our party is the “bone and
muscle” party, and will stand much the
best chance of success where their physi-
cal energies can be brougrlit into the most
active exercise. It will answer all our
purposes to make a record of the names ol'I
those who vote, without compelling them
to submit to the oppresssion of a previous
Registry. The plan recommended by me
is mncli the best, as a democrat has only
to change his name and his dress, to vote
as often as he deems safe and expedient
—but under the present system, it is hard-
ly possible for him to get in more than
one vote for the same candidate on the
same day. “The utmost facility should
be afforded to the exercise of this highest
political right of an American citizen”—
so high that all attempts to ptotect it are
as ridiculous as the attempts of the VVhig
party to protect American labor. Free:
trade and free voting are essential to thel
existence of the democratic party and the]
continued success of such men as myself.
Another topic intimately connected with
the subject of free trade and free voting,
demands your special attention. I allude
to the over bearing and dictorial course of,
“lords of the loom” towards our sub-2
jects. It was declared in the Times sev-
eral years ago, that the \-Vliigs sent out a
secret circular to these dignitaries, asking
them to discharge all ivorkmen who did
not vote the wliig ticket. 'l‘.lie vvliigs al-
ways denied the existence of such a cir-
cular, and offered a hundred dollars toiiny
man who would produce one——but there
is, nevertheless, no doubt that they were
guilty of all the Times ever charged upon
them—a paper that, from 1824-, when it
described my political character, to this
day, never told an untruth. ‘You will,
therefore, gentlemen, consider these alle-
gations as established, and proceed ‘to
the enactment of a law which shall inflict
whipping at the post upon any Whig mati-
i'ifacturer who shall, within ninety days of
an election, speak to any democrat in. his
employ on political subjects. _There is no
necessity of any provision which shall re-
fer to a democratic manufacttirer, inns-
much as their efforts will unquestionably
be aimed at the promotion of the public
good. Besides the punishmen-t described,
Irecommend‘ that the law referred to shall
prohibit any Whig manufacturer fl‘0m‘dI'S-
charging any democrat from his employ
at any time, unless he‘ shall fii-st intimate
a wish to go, and" that while thus employed
he be allowed “two dollars a day and roast

tlemen, and if you do not deem it expedi-
ent to carry it into effect, the green ones
lwili see that I take a peculiar ‘interest in
their welfare, which may pay me some-
iliirg for the recommendation. _
The present national administration be-
ing democratic, it will not be necessary to
pass any laws forbidding the interference
of government ofiicersin our State elec-
tions, as it is not to be supposed that any
‘Whigs are employed by that government.
For the same reason, gentlemen, thatl am
in favor of stringent laws which shall pre-
vent the wbig manufacturers from dis-
cliarging democratic worlimen on account
of their political opinions, I am also in fa-
vor of an amendment to the Constitutiori
which shall prevent a future Legislature,
if it should be wliig, from turning out of
office democratic-.Iudges of Probate, Jus-
tices of the Peace, and other offices. The
Legislature is the employer, and the of-
ficers are the workmen, and it is a" shame
to permit one of the latter. if he be edem-
ocrat, to be “turned with his family into
the streets.” Such a law should only ap-
plygto W/zig legislatures. If it were of
universal application, it might prove “an
embarrassirient-—an entagleirr.-*iit” to us
wherfever we are in power.
I approach another subject, also inti-'
mately connected with free trade and free
voting, with a good deal of ggsio, I assure
you. Gus-to, is not a Latin word; but is
from the Spanish, and signifies “pleasant
sensations about the palate or tongue.”--
Nmv, ifsome dry mouths do not water at
the prospect before them, it will be be-
cause they do not mix the liquor, but pre-
fer it clear and undiluted, which the dem-
ocrats ought to have and as much as they
want. The wbigs could not manage this
subject as they wanted to and were there-
fore obliged to let it slide, and get out of
the way. It brought me a top o’the heap,
and here I am gent.lemen,liighly delighted
With the elevation and determined to “stay
put,” if new and “stringent” laws against
everything exuept the liquor, can keep me
here. A lucky hit that was, g‘€!lIl('n‘lc‘ll,
when we got the Whigs, with the aid of
democratic votes, to pass a law which en-

of Securities. Swallow the report of (Ed
Principiil, and ask no questions.
In regard to" the State Prison, I very‘
much regret that I cannot say any thins-'
in disparagement of the discipline and
financial management of the present War-
den. Pilsbury was a‘ great hutnbug as you
all l.'i‘ioiv—~and'.Iohnson is a capital fellow
—-—but he is a wliig and my friends at the
Times office say he must suffer political
decapidation. “IntemIie:zpectantsignum."
‘I pass from domestic affairs, to ‘others
equally interestino to us in our relations
with the Federal overnment. It" is not
improbable that the Whig Tarifl' of 184%
will be essentially modified by the present
Congress, and I care not how soon or how
extensively. This Tariff is as great an
antagonist to democracy as education, in-
asmuch as it elevates the werkingmenand
laborers so that they become in time coin-
petitors with 1:9 distinguished offices.—-
This will never do. Keep them down, and
you keep them out of your \vay,and make
them more obedient to our wishes, and
we can employ them to bring in our coal,
brush our boots, and dig our gardens, for
half the sums we now pay them. Tariff
duties are in all cases taxes. The‘ Whigs’
deny this and say that when duties are
laid upon any foreign article, the operation
is to encourage the manufactures of sim-
ilar articles ut home, and that the home
competition brings down the price as cer-
tain as that two and two make four. But
gentleme_n, you should not place‘ any con’-‘
fidencc in the assertions of the whigs on"
this subject. I say that duties aie taxes,
that is that they increase the cost of every
kind of merchandize upm which they are
laid. Mr. Folk and other gentlemen of
the deinocrzitic party insist that such is
the fact, and this ought to satisfy yeti‘ nil,-
gentlemen, of the truth of my proposition.
l do not expect the wliigs to admit it.--
They are such gracelcss fclloivs that they
are not entitled to ordinary courtesy, and
so you see, gentlemen, they do not. get it"
from me. However, lest some of ‘these’
remarks should be quoted against me in‘
some manufacturing towns, where there
ar_e‘democi'at—s,- who think fnvomblyof the
wbig doctrine of protection, I would add-
abled us to elect commissioners that wonlditliat while I am in favor of a “revemz_e ta-
bc governed by our advice, and be affected
by the tears we shed over the suffering,
neglected wives and children. “All is fair
in politics” with the democrats, gentlemen
--and now, having accomplished our pu r-
pose, we can sermonize on this subject
with an innocent face, and avow doctrines,
that the Whigs themselves in large num-
bers, and the more tliouglitful temperance~
men, will admit to .-be as immutable as
truth itself.
I am indebted to the more ultra tempe-
rance men, for this my fortunate position.
To be sure it used to be a crime for
men to sell spirits without a license, and
a few persons as now, had the power to
graiit or wiililiold licenses—but let zilltbis
pass—-my object as you will perceive, is
to make the present law appear as odious
as possible, because it was passed by as
whig legislature. As, liowever, of late
years. some democrats have joined the
teinpei"m'ice party, I advise you to pass a,
riff, which you know gentlemen is all sorts
of a tariff, I am at the same time in favor
of levying duties or tomes “upon foreign‘;
articles which come in competition with-‘

This, you will perceive, is a whig ,se_n-ti‘-

protective policy. My tariff friends will‘-

you not think, gentle’n"i_ct'i, that I should

I have become the best sort of a democrat,
though formerly a “Federalist of the firs;
water.” The whole sweep and bearing
of my remarks upon the 'l‘_ari'ff are in fa-
vor of ultra free trade, and yet there may
be culled out of them several excellent‘
wbig sentiments in favor of protection.

I earnestly recommend the passage of a
law \vl)i('.Il shall allow the election of-‘six
Selectmen, but which shall not permit any
elector to vote for more than four of them
—the six having the greatest number of
votes to be declared elected. In this way
the minority will have a voice’ in the elec-
tion of, such officers. Ihad. thought of
advising that all the Selectmen be elected
by :1 minority, in the way in which I‘ have
been elected Governor, but further reflec-
tion led me‘ to see that in democratic
towns the whigs would have the advantages
