the gentleman from North-Caroilna reduce US
to worse than this Russian barbarIsm! Will he
contend, that even Judas was not entitled to the
thirty pieces Of silver---to the consideration
money?
This is the first administration that has open
" run the principle Of patronage against that Of
patriotism-that mas unbushingly avowed, aye,
and executed its purpose Of buying us up with
our own money. Sir, there is honor among
thieves-sball it be wanting then among the
chief captains of our administration? hope not,
sir Let Judas have his thirty pieces of silver,
whatever disposition he may choose TO make OF
them Observation-Disclosures they shall go 10 buy
a Potter -held, in which to inter this miserable
Constitution of ours, crucifed between two gen
tlemen, suffering for" conscience sake" under
the burthen Of the two first Offices OF this gov
crnment-forced upon one Of them by the forms
Of the Constitution, against It's spirit and his
own, which is grieved that the question cannot
be submitted to the People--or, whether he
shall do that justice to himself, which the fin
Usher Of the law is not, as yet, permitted TO do
for him, ii is quite immaterial. Judas, having
done the work, ('it is Finished" No, sir, it is
not finished was, on the principle that the la
borer is worthy Of his hire, entitled TO all that
give as wages; he was, at least entitled TO what
they had stipulated 10 give, even at the eleventh
hour; and, whatever promises may have been
made to him, it is the bounden duty Of the pro-
mlser 10 see that they are made good 10 the pro-
misee. The gentleman from North Carolina
must not complain that they are working i'll
their vocation. my vocation, Hal! Ills
your vocation" Be il our vocation, sir, to call
them to a more suitable vocation. |, sir, have
no personal resentments against these unhappy
people, these unfortunate gentlemen, as they
say OF every man who is unmaskCd-I disclaim
all personal feelings My resentmen,s are en-
tirely political-they are for my countrl's enc
mics, not mine. Sir, let these unhappy persons
retire 10 the obscurity that becomes their imbe-
cility, and BELTS their shame, and they shall ne
yer hear from me the language of sarcasm or
reproach. | should as soon think Of setting out
10 Paris, to scald the vermin that annoyed me
there near two years ago--to have the fleas
catchtd, cracked, or boiled, in revenge, or, in
experiment, to ascertain whether or not they are
Holsters. Sir, would not d--n even their
souIs,' if they had them. l should surely be
put into the Institute, for my devotion to SCI
cnce, and the cause of humanity.
This Panama mission, is no new thing, as
