They waited and cliattcd of this and of that,
But wliat were the slibjccts that came in their

P1:1'l1£1])S they were deep in the subject. of

Wliicli now is a favorite theme with all ranks,

While still the Conductor was sorting his train,
The cars that should go from the cars that re-

By the Freiglit-lmtise they rattled above and

The steam cloud was flying—-the wliistle did
blow ;
Now the engine advanced and again it went

And Spalding kept switching them round on
the track,
This car was backed up—and that carwus sent

And still the three passengcr5_waitc,d around ;
Of course they were nothing in haste to be

In seats, till the Captain proclaimed “ all

I,Tlltlf)t'StallLIlllg', as I trust you do, that
it is only in Lite character of an unaspi_
ring citizen that I speak, I willgroceed
with the several topics that I ha e stig-
gested. .
The first inquiry is, when did the
VVhig party first die 9 If dead‘, it died
on the second day of November, -1852,
and on that (lay it recorded one million
three hundred and eighty-five thousand
true, genuine, uudirmayed I/Vhig votes;
such a vote as was never given before
for that or any other party" since the
foundation of the government; and it. on.
ly required about thirty-five thousand
votes properly distributed, to have secur-
ed success to its candidate. Never was
:1 party surrounded by so many_adverse
circumstances as was ours on that day.
\\r;,,1, 3 patched-up peace and harmony
hcttvccii all the isms and schisms and
factions of the country in support of a
gentleman that nobody knew, mid that
it scents now but one of the factions (the
Freer-ollurs) understood ; and with :i prej-
udir-c dv.-up-t'ooletl and ininiovnblc in our
own tanks, that lost us thousands and
upon the country?
tens o_f thousands for the candidate whom
the Whig party had selected; with the
influence of many of the most. prominent
men of our party in position and out of
position, actively or secretly exerted
against us, still we cast that vote of one
million three bundrctl and eighty-five
tliousaud for General VVinficld Scott,
and wanted but the thirty-five tliousand,
as I have said properly distributed, to
have sccurt-.d a tritunpliant victory, which
it was in the power of afew occupying
prominent. positions in the government,
to have given us, at <-uch points as they
were most needed, but which they did
not think proper to do, but in point of
fact by their influence withheld from us
And yet we are told that this extraordi-
nary strength, thus exhibited, furnished
the indication of our weakness and the
necessity of our dissolution. Yet these
were the circumstanr-es under which we
went into that struggle, and this was our
condition when we came out of it; and
no\v,I_-',_\vlien we see the evidence of decay
in the ranks of tliosc by whom we were
defeated, when we see everywhere around
us old dissensions and hostilities breaking
out afresh and increased rancor in the
Democratic ranks in a general scramble
for the spoils, we are gravely told that
VVhig party is no more, and ‘we are ad-
vised to set. to work to get up a new or-
ganization. For one, I say I am satisfied
to stay where I am, adhering with true
and strict fidelity to my principles, my
country, and my party, under its present
Ol'g'{llllZ[1ll0n.
. it $3 a‘:
lVl r. Chairman, I have been a member
of the \Vhig party from the day it was
first. organized. I_ may claim to be one
of the fzitliersof the party. I was one
of that old National Republican party
which constituted the nucleus upon
which the present VVhig was formed,
and which was first christened the ‘lVhig
party,’ by John C Calhoun, who then be-
longed to it, because it had for its basis,
opposition to Executive power‘ which
came in conflict. with the power of the
people expressed i.ill‘0l‘lgil"tllell.' Repre-
sentatives in Congress. This was the
origin of the party; these were the cir-
cumstances under which it: was unfortu-
nately cliaugedin name from that of ‘Na-
tional Republican’ to ‘VVliig’ at the time
of the bank veto, the removal of the de-
posites, the celebrated protest of Gen.
Jackson, expuguing resolutions, &c. If
had ‘nationality’ and popular rights then
as its basis, and foundation; it has main-
tained both in its superstructure to this
day, and the day that it drops its nation-
ality or ceases to vindicate the rights and
the power of the people, that day I drop
and abandon it forever; until then, thro’
good and evil report, in adversity and suc-
cess, I shall always be found in my place
and in the mean time nothing could be
more ridiculous than the attempt now
made to identify the great. national VI/hig
party with the local politics of New
York.
Yes, sir, I helped to rock the baby in
its infancy and to nurse. it into manhood.
I have seen it grow up and assume :1 30-
lossal stature, and while I have rejoiced
in its triumphs, I have never been dis-
lieartened nor discouraged by its defeat,
nor by a succession of defeats.
The great curse of the W'liig party has
been its tiniidity, its willingness to lay
down its arms mid surrender at discretion
upon every reverse of fortune. There
are too‘many.of our leading men who
cannot live in :1 minority, who. cannot
breatlie ea<ily unless sustained by power;
and tipou cacti successive defeat we are
admonislicd by them of the necessity of
abandoning this measure and that, be-
cause, they say, we can never get into
power until we do. Sir, with me it is
not :1 question of power; it is a question
of right and of propriety. I ask myself
the question, is this the proper measure
for the Government to adopt? VVill
advance the general prosperity P Will it
benefit the people? VVill it promote the
arts of peace? VVill the great agricul-
tural, commercial, manufacturing, and
laboring interests of the country be ad-
vanced by its adoption? And if these
qiiestions are answered in the affimative, ,
why should I, or you, or any of us sur-
i'e_uder-tliciii because we happen to be
beaten by them in a political contest in-
volving a tltousniid other minor issues as
well as these 9
\Vhile we owe our defeats in a great
measure to this practiced tiniidjty, our
opponents are largely indebted for-their
occasional success to a different; system
of tactics. I have always admired them
for their boldness and courage, if for
nothing else; the more you whip them
to-day, the readier ‘they are for tight to-
morrow; and that is just what I \vant to
see the Whig Party do. How else did
they succeed in fastening that contempti-i
ble humbug, the Sub-treasury, (which
never has and never can be practically
executed witlioiit immense loss to the
Government and injury to the people,)
Did they give it up?
And if by their perseverance they could
thus succeed in establishing a burl meas-
ure, why could not we by a similar per-
severance succeed in establishing a good
one '3 And at this moment, when we
know that there is not one sensible and
well infornicd man in the country, \vheth_
er \Vhig or Democrat, who believes’ in
it
the wisdom or practicability of the law
as it now stands, and we see all submit.-
ting to it, and the Whig party seems
afraid to throttle the monster and to crush
its enormities. But something more of
this Sub-treasury hereafter.‘
Let us take up the measures for which
we have contended for twenty years; one
bypone, and see if any good reason ex-
ists for abandoning them. If upon fair
trial they shall have provided to be inju-
rious toithe public good, let them go ;—
hut surely no sane iuan can beiconvinced
of their injurious tendency because we
cannot always retain the power of the
Government in our hands ; and I might
here remark that if the people are stip-
posed to have decided against them in
1852, they as -surely decided in their fa-
vor in 1848, and are most likely to do so
again in 1856. ‘
How is it with the question of protec-
tion to home labor? Is that great prin-
ciple obsoletc 9 Are we-ready to give it
up’! ' Is free trade indeed in the ascend-
ance? The tariff of 1846, I grant you»
has taken the place of the tariff of 1852;
but then is the tariff of 1846 a free trade
tariff? Does not every body of good
sense know that any tariff that ranges in
its duties from ten and fifteen to forty and
fifty per cent; and upwaids in a discrim-
inating tariff‘, and does not every body
know that discrimination is a recognition
of the principles of protection? The
question is, is it a judicious discrimina_
tion and does it protect where protection
is. most needed '3 But discrimination in
itself recognizes the principle, and in any
alteration that may be made of the pres-
ent tariff the party in power will not fail
to adopt. that principle. You may call
things by what names you choose, but
the tariff of 1846, Mr. Chairman, is no
more free trade" tariff than my State is a
free State; but at the same time, I do
not agree that it judiciously discrimin-
ates or affords proper protection to such
articles as most need it. I mean such
articles as we can supply at home and
must consume.
It may become, perhaps it has become
necessary that the tariff should be revised
and modified, if only to diminish the su-
perabundant revenue that is accumula-
ting in the publictrenstiry, and it may be
found indispensable to diminish the du-
ties on some articles and equally indis-
peusible to increase them on others; but
you will find that under no circumstan-
ces wilfany party in this country ven-
ture upon an equal rate of duties on all
articles that we import. They must and
will discriminate and so discrimate as to
give protection to certain interests; and
if I am right in this, let us, instead of sur-
rendcriiig this principle, maintain that we
have established the wisdom of the sys-
tem, and claim the credit for our party
that its sagacity and wisdom has enti-
tled it to receive at the hands of our op-
ponents.
' But let us see how their tarifl‘ of 1846
has operated practically. That it has
furnislieil a sufficient amount of revenue
cannot be questioned ; but at what cost
it has done so remains to be seen. \Ve
all know how common it is for public
men of the Democratic pdrty (they have
usurped that name, and in it consists their
only strength,) to claim infinite credit
for the acquisition of California, which,
xvitlrits untold millions of gold, they say
has staved off such a commercial crisis as
has been ‘heretofore unknown to our peo-
ple. ‘Veil admit that to be so. VVhat,
I desire they should next tell us, would
have produced this crisis, and what re-
sort would have been necessary had not
the golden sands of California opportune-
ly come to avert the calamity and dis-
tress which would have befallen us '.’——
I will tell you. First, it was the vicious
(or perhaps it would be more appropri'
ate to say unsound) system of legislation
by which our people were induced to en-
courage Europeau workshops and Euro-
pean labor, to the exclusion of American
workshops and American labor, that
would have brought on the crisis; pre-
cisely the same causes that produced the
revulsion of 1837. And, in the next
place, to have remedied the evil it would
haveqbcen ticccssa_ryto resort to a differ-
entisyisteni, by wliich we should have af.
forded encouragement and protection to
the labor of our o\vn people in preference
to the labor of any other people on the
earth. As it is, the mighty influx of gold
shat should have been spent among our
own people at home has followed on in
the regular channels of trade, and isnow
to be found in the workshops of Europe.
Now, in my judgement, Ice is the wisest
man and the most reliable statesman who
recommends such a system of legislation
as would enable the industry of the coun-
try to protect itself at all times and un-
der all circumstanccs,'and would render
the country absolutely independent in
every sense of the word. Suppose; gen_
eral war should break out in Europe, in
which the four Powers should be enga-
ged which I have not only looked upon
for some months as extremely ‘probable,
but as almost certain, notwithstanding the
opposite views that have prevailed in
this country as well as in France and
England‘ forI have not been able to see
why. the Emperor Nicholas should relin-
quish the advantages he has already ob-
tained (by the tem'poi'ising of France and
England each of whom have frittered
away their time in idlefnegotiations,
while he has been preparing for war) to-
wards the accomplishment of an object
that has constituted the chief anxiety Of
Russia from the days of Peter the Great
down to the present time, to wit, the
possession of Constantinople. I say, sup-
pose such a war should come, what
would be the consequence to us? The
low rate of duties, as I have said, has in-
duced cur countrymen to go abroad to
purchase many, very many articles which
we were able to furnish, and should have
manufactured at home, and by that pro.
cess we have become largely indebted to
Great Britain.
The British Government is sustained
by its moneyed aristocracy; they must
have- money to carry on the war; the
Barings and the Rothschilds will have
the control of the entire debt, in all
amounting to some four or five hundred
millions, and will call it in as fast as it
becomes due, and then is the time that
the shoe will begin to pinch; then will
be the time that we shall discover the
beauties and advantages of excessive im-
portations superinduced by low duties;
and, with or without war, payday must
and will come,~soone1 or later; and when
it does arrive, then we shall see the
workings of what many are now pleased
to call the free trade system. * **
I have had no difficulty, Mr. Chairman
in solving a question which had puzzled
the brains of thousands, to wit: the uni-
versal aiid anxious inquiry. VVhy: is it
that the foreigners all vote against: us _>
Sir, it is the charm conveyed to their sen-
ses by the sound of Democracy ; they
give to the term its true signification ;—
they know of no other democracy than
that which is to be found in antagonism
to aristocracy, or despotism and the pow-
er of the sovereign. There is no other
democracy than that which is to be found
in the power of the people; and they
naturally beleve when they come among
us that democracy on this side of the wa-
ter means what they understand by de-
mocracy at home. Nothing is more nat‘
ural than that they should identify them-
selves with those whom they suppose
are struggling to maintain the rights and
the power of the people of which they
themselves compose a part; it is not be-
cause they are opposed to us or our prin-
ciples, but because they do not under»
stand thc nature of the question that <li*
vides us; and when they have been long
enough to ascertain the truth, like other.
men, pride of opinion, pride of consistency
and old habits and associations bind them
down to the party with wliicli they have
been accustomed to act. * *
The Democracy claim to be the pro-
gressive party, and seek to disseminate
the impresgon that we are the “ stand-
still party/,” or as some call it, the " (Z0-
920:/mzg party.” Surely the internal
improvement party is not the stand-still
party; it_is they‘ who oppose this system
they who will not progress ; they are
the party to whom that cognomen should
be applied.
But there are two kinds of progress
through life——the one rational, the other
destructive. VVhen I read an account
of some dashing, high-spirited young fel-
low, whose horse has run away with him
and dashed his vehicle to pieces and near-.
ly broken his neck, I cannot but regard
it as progress; but it is something of
Democratic progress, rather of the des-
tructive order. How much better it
would have been to have kept the reins
in hand and the horse in subjection.—-
Some times we read of a steamboat that
is in such haste to make rapid progress
through the water that she gets up too
much steam and away goes boat, cargo,
crew, and passengers in the air. This is
certainly making rapid progress, but not
of the rational kind; it smacks of Demo-
cratic progress; it is a species of Demo-
cratic progressive, go-ahead cleverness,
It was the same spirit of headlong Demo-
cratic progress that precipitated the New
Haven cars into Norwalk river, with
such terrible and calamitous results. So
it will be, I fear, with Democratic pro-
gress in affairs of Government, when we
undertake the only progress tlzev pm--
pose, which is to neglect our own affairs,
disregard our own intesests, and go roam-
ing over the world, in iimtation of cm-
cient Rome, plundering our neighbors of
their lawful property, and, in imitazion
qf Don Quixotic, righting the wrongs of
all mankind. I would rather have a ra-
tional,' conservative driver, who would
control his horse; a rational, conserva-
tive fireman, who would not put. on too
much steam ; :1 rational, conservative en-
gineer, who would control his locomo'
tive, and travel with less speed and more
safety; so, in like manner I would pre-
fer a sound, safe, rational conservative
lVhig at the helm of Government, who
would attend to our busitiess at home,
progressing rapidly, but steadily and safe.
ly; extending our commerce, increasing
our agriculture, enlarging our manufac-
tures, and securing, peace, plenty, inde-
pendence, and happiness to all our peo-
ple; and if We do not’ have such an en-
gineer to guide our great national loco-
motive, who can tell what catastrophe
may not sooner or later overtake and
overwhelm us?

confirms the use who destroys the abuse,
We strengthen and aid progress by res-
training its abuse; and upon this princi-
ple I hope to see the conservative VVl1i§-;
party always act. Let. individual citi-
zens, in the exercise. of their personal
rights, (taking care not to infringe the
laws of their country,) do as they like,’
on their own respotisihility; but let the
Government take at all tinies, and under
all circunistanccs, to watch with the most
jealous vigilaiice the faith and integrity
of the nation ; let them guard it, as thev
would “ the apple of their eye.”
Mr. Chairman, I am often asked why
I am a VV_higf answer is because I
am a democrat; because I believe there
is more sound Democracy in the VVlii_s_-;
ranks than in the ranks of the other par-
ty, and because I go for the pri'ncz'pZe, and
not the mmze or the sound of democracy
How could I be anything else but a
Democrat? Losing both father and
mother when I was a child nine years old
(by the burning of the theatre in Rich-
montl,) I was soon after sent off to :1
boarding school, and from that day to this

thizing in all their wrongs, contendin-i
throughout my manhood for all then.

equality, despising at all times ever

An I/ulignavzt Lady in (Z. Dogge2_
—'i.‘he Cauibridgc City (Ind.) News, :
lates the following :
“On Thursday of last: week :1 your
man of this place (whose name we slu:
withhold) became intoxicated, and .-
continued for three days, to the gre:
mortification of his young wife and lit‘
quaintances. During this time his wit
visited all the housesin town where liq11n~
is sold, and politely requested them no:
sell her husband any more. They all dc
claied that they had_ not and would nor.
sell him any liquor. One Thursday af-
ternoon, while out in search of her liuv
hand, she was informed that he war.
sz'n/.‘-/zole near the railroad. The
immediately went there, and found 'her
husband drunk and almost senseless.-—
At the lamentable condition in which
she found her liushand, she became very
much enraged at the doggery keeper.—-
Provoked to madness she seized a club of
about two and a half feet in length, and
set in upon the whisky shop. The first
lick she broke to pieces a large decanter,
filled with whisky, just placed on the
counter as she stepped in, for the accom-
modation of some of his drunken sots
then within. The next move she swept
pitcher and glasses from the counter ;—
this made the old-doggery keeper furious
he attacked the lady while she with both
hands seized the club, and with one fell
stroke brought his higlmcss to the floor.
118 raised the cry of murder and fled.-—
The rest of the inebriates, seeing the prac-
tical demonstrntions of her as practiced
on the keeper, fled as fast as their loco-
motive powers could bear them away
from the scene. Having the shop to her-
self, she coolly and deliberately went to
the whisky barrel and beer keg and bioke
the faucets, causing the contents to run
out ovepthe floor ; after which she broke
all the jugs, bottles and flasks that could
be found, and which he kept for the ac.-
commodation of his blossom-nosed custtw.
