defeat thAopes, or disappoint the Just ex-

heroic Va Rensselaer,. But, man is too

who nov lls the executive chair had been o.
loctod Inv he people, would my friend from n.
York bay.been satisfied lf not, his objection
NAV not b so much to the mode Of election as
TO the ma, elected. But my friend from New
Yorl. caniot give TO this administration his
support. 7 his declaration created, at flrst, IN
in nv Uind, some disagreeable sensations, and
gave re 10 some melancholy reflections ]

further north for the last two or three weeks,
has, as usual, rose, and some part of the tine
shone, and set, my mind has been greatly re-

this he cannot submit to, although
his distinguished and magnanimous leader is
perfectly wiling so to do. Perhaps the gen
tleman from New-York is 6ppreheusive, if he
adopts this course, he may find nothing to
condemn ; and as condemnation is the order OF
the day, il is better to condemn without a trial
than not condemn at ALL Since the honorable
gentleman has aVowed his determination at all
hazards and to Go it eifectually is willing Ia
every species of party, will resort
again but for a amoment, to the Fcdcralist, and
ask the gentleman ii'!ic comes within mr. Ma

tizens, whether amounting TO majority or mn
nority of the whole, who are united and actua

interest adverse 10 the rights OF other cItZens,oi
to the permanent interests ofthe communlty.

We are told mr.. Chairman, that hereafter \
York will present bold front, and her influ

there is TO be an union of Bucktail and Clin
tonau interests the informat ton furnished j
altogether gratuitous. Here the honorahl
gentleman from n. York, (mr. Cambrcleng,
explained, be had said no such thing-he hat
said, hereafter there wouldbe an unon at home.
| thank, mr.. Chairman, the honorable gentle
man for. his explanation. There is to be al
unton at home there has been division a

which draw a fair one, that hereafter the SON
of -. Iammany, with their Grand Sachem
Father in Council, Sycamore, Sachems of al
the tribes, are, with all their standards rcgalia
and insignia of Office, to PROSTATE Themselves

an union TO condemn without hearing and no
to try an administration by its measures.
The caucus system, or king caucus, has beer
introduced, and frequently referred TO in tn,
course of the debate; and while some have con
tended that the removal of the election from
this House is necessary 20 prevent the opera
iion of the central power, others have contend
cd it is necessary to restore regular nomina
tions. l have but few words to say on thi:
subject; those conventions which follow public
opinion, and not those which precede, and en-
doayor to give a direction to it, will be respect
ed. When the Country is divided into parties
they are necessary TO concentrate their powers
