tunity)" to and hear" (wha, y call that is
Che means has been) done sad.'' What won
derlul eyes, this dreaming, elevated gentleman must
have. He can, not only see and hear all that Isl
done, but he and hear all that is s said z
IF he can see all that is done or said,' of what
use to him are his earsr This elevated gentleman
might become deaf as an adder, and he would not
be the worse Of it. But poor Nc Donoagh! miser
able collocaer Of words-wretched murderer, not
of the kings, but Of the peoples engsh-how we
pity thee Thou canst find but share thy fate,
and he, like thee, has been elevated, in that fatal
room over the representatives of the people, you
have sinned together, and you will perish together
| But let us inquire what was the object Of this
publication? Was it to show that the mover OF The
resolution, with all his influence and elevation
over the members, deserted by his friends and
left in "a miserable minority? There is one thing we
may be certain Of that the author OF Me Donough,
did not love his own self better than he did that
|" other" elevated gentleman. No, it was not 10
proclaim the tact OF this desertion but to account
for it and honoraby, to the author OF the resolution
But how was this statement to operate upon those
who few the way? If we could subscribe to what
this elevated gentleman says We should retard the
apology we have made to them, and groan louder
than ever for the sullied honor of our state. What
like Crayens, to abandon their leader, and deliver
him over, bound foot and hand, the Saracens and
inidels Like rank renegadoes 10 forsweaf their
own principles and for what reason let us hear
the /" elevated" gentleman once more. "Those
who voted against il did SO because they did not
think 1t necessary to give legislative construction
of an article of the constitution, on the journal
of the House" Well what are we to understand
from thisp Let it be granted that resolution, or
n a law, simply for the sole purpose OF expounding
the constitution, would be wrong; are we called
upon 10 believe that these members who hew the
: way were so Ignorant as not to know that II was
their duty to have the constitution, which they had
just sworn TO support, constantly before their eyes
T. in ALI their Legislative moyementss A measure
). was before them moved by DR.. Black, proposing
la new apportonment Of Representatives. This
measure they and Mr.. Robinson we're opposed to
3 Tor the same identical reasons-which reasons 6
:, mainly constitutional reasons, and were, at large
spread out in the resolutionand yet they deserted
'. their leader and voted against his and their owl
= reasons -disaffirming what they believed, and re
jecting what they approved. They voted agalns
b. 1.-THE resolution which declared the measure 1heaPe
&c dient, and voted against that which declared It e1
oi pedient-and thus hang themselves up, like ma
o0f hornets coffin, between heaven and earth. w
Ir wont believe word of it, If it is true, then, thi
p elevated gentleman published the matter to degrad
lie and expose them to public scorn, for their folly am
le treachery, and richly do they merit 1t. Such mimi
:, hammers would deserve no better. They ough
to have been dashed into the ranks and made to slan
a. 10 their quarters in time of batla We protest W
ms do not believe word that McDonough says. II
:. MURDERS as have already said the peoples En-
f. glish-and Heaven knows they must have had tait
I'd that could swallow mountains, if they believed al
1.-The preamble and resolution contained At al
n events if what is said in defence Of their leader
y, true, they must have been to use vulgar expires
at sion, like cat in strange garret-noi knowing
which way to go, they few into their own master

re that is good, have wrung their tarnation necks 70
