I "o"'u tVss guinea he shoulders q

llOut of John Bull with the other, aud
washes his hands III the Dwira.
Why, sir, he compounds politics,
morality, ethics. lhinera!ogy, history,
llaw, chemistry, astronomy, philosophy,
IPatriatism and whiskey, inlo one com.
position with as much ease as the
druggist pounds and compounds soap
and aloes for pills.--lteaIly, sir.
lcouid have no reason to expect tue
gentleman conld condesceud to know
the district whose humble representa-
tive l am. But, sir, will give thu
gentleman some Information on this
lsubJcct. And first permit me to tell
him, if am to receive .Iis moral and
political principles as a sample of his
CONSTITUENTS, can assure him, that
1t IS high consolation To me that do
not represent the district of Philadel-
phia. But l DO represent district CO
Iplain farmers, who earn their bread by
the sweat OF their brow, who areaifec.
tiOnate, generous, sincere, and should
their rights ever be invaded, their
enemies will find they are brave.
They arc people, air, who labour six
days, and who worship their God
one.
1t is true that money in my district
is not so abundant, nor does it possess
the active principles or power which
the gentleman mentions, nor has it SO
much patriotism, that when the govern,
mental box is opened, like u tame
lpidgeon, ii viii ran or fly instantly into
the cage. No, sir, money in my dis
ltrict, has no such convenient property
even at seven and half per cent, as Il
has in the district OF the gentleman.
Ii The gentleman has any more of
THIS travelling money, eaIIit what he
pieases, soul or body of war, 1 sincerely
wish some of it may stray to the North,
and save my poor despondins GEN.
'stitusnts from that ruin which the ia-
discreet measures of those he calls his
friends have brought upon them. IF
the gentleman will send but a few
dozen OF genuine bank notes into my
obscure district, ] will obligate myself,
that my constituents shall release to
the gentleman and his constituents ali
the blessings Of war aud direct taxes.
J Sir, the gcntismnz's syeeeh deliver
led Yesterday was very great speech,
and if you judge of its merits by its su.
lPerheiai contents, (not weight,j length
land breadth, by the foot, board mea-
sure, the speech has rarely been match
led by aug speech, either in ancient or
modern times, from the days Of Iso.
srates, down to the honorable gentle-
man, from. the great aud patriotic whisr
key hating city of Philadelphia.
! Now, SIR, one word about whiskew
The gentleman has told as his city
drinks no whiskey OF courss I pre-
sumo the gentleman drinks none, and
from the very exalted reputation he has
lin such a glowing manner given to
Mr.. Gallatin, I should presume no
drinks none, and yet, sir, he MIR. is
tells us, that the Secretary of tho
Treasury is now more than half seas
over. Sir, if tbs honorable gentleman
frcm Pennsylvania, has uot imbibed
wf'iskey, he must have snuffed d full
portion Of oxygen for sir, il is inn
possible that the gentleman should be
delivered of SO great d speech, which if
measured as aforementioned, would
.emtitle him to rank with til, distinguish
. ed orators of the house a speech
, which the gentleman acknowledges he
has carried for three itstead of nine
long months, since Its frstinception, or
: rather experimentation some pow,
: erful inspiration, and that he had
this aid, no one who heard him could
doubt, for really sir, my mind was very
much bewildered, or the gentleman
wac further over seas than the honora-
bic whiskey hating Secretary Of the
: Treasury.
! Now, sir, if tho committee will fofa
llgive me for this long depression, which
Greatly has nothing TO do with my
honorable colleagues (S1r. Taylor}
J imotiOn, no more than TWO hours aud u
half of the honorable gentleman Mra

motive, than TO pay the gentleman
debt Of courtesy, which really and
Honestly owed him for travelling so far
to visit me, will settle small ac-
