expressed such sentiments. They swere

adjusted, and the aliment Of party was con-
sumed. So apparent was this, that he re-
collected TO have hearCa gentleman, equal

gentlemen in the opposition, to be confer
ring in Washington OH the mode OF so an
Huencing the course oftwo different States,
as TO bring them to be pastles to the oppo-
sition II he should suppose then, to sug-
gcst IL one of these states, having the ma
jority of one political party, that IT was i'm
possible, for the present administration ev-
or to treat that party with kindness or re-
spect, and by the same post TO urge IN the
other state, dangerous partallty on the
part Of the administration, for that same
party, and press the necessity OF crushing
both it, and the administration together
| If, he said, Mr.. Chairman were 10 imagine
such an occurrence, he doubted whether
his fancy would very much outrun the facts.
IL was notorious indeed, that this sort otto
pic was now used, according to the lati-
tude and longitude Of the place where
wanted. When it was thOugn. better by
those who are opposed 10 the admiDistra.
tlon, to prcsene party distinctions, they
we're preserved aud they are dlsregardet
when 1t is better Tor the promotion OF Their
own object to disregard them.
In this state Of things he ei not know
what benetit vas proposed, by those Yho

necessary to nIalntaln the administration
geiust undescrvcd opposition, TO uphold the
government and carry on wise measures
lor the Improvement and happiness of tho

vas necessary TO encounter opposition
however loud or however violent, he should
not he trusted, the first TO SHRINK from it.
! But he must say, that for contentious IA
home for contests between parties now
! merely nominal, for revlving past heats and
/ SmOthCred anunOsltics, he had no heart -
! ie could sec no result of such controver-

confer utility on the country and poor and

/ his duties were to be discharged with reie-
renee to such considerations Highly as
! ne valued the distinction OF the situation he
held, and conscious rs he was, how little he
mertcd it, he would not hold it Il day, after
It should be required Of him to render ale
