nee OF construction OF language. For proof resort
lad TO the message Of the President to
which no other reply need be made than that in re-

ne context, and etcd."-"lf these had been
the ,aunts and ratings Of anonymous scri
bers they would have been deemed unworthy Of pub
Tic notice; but when such charges seriously made
and reiterated, by holding high stations in the go
vernmeDt, and exercising some influence public
opinion they cannot be too strongly condemucd.n
What the practical ilstr alton of hi. of
"the will Of bis constituents" When member of the
Senate Of the United States and his judgment requir
ed him 10 approve the measures of Government, a
ga,ust the opinion ut his constituents, he returned To
their hands the power they had committed him, tina,
they might exercise It as reeaby to their views.
IL the same Difference were now paid to te will of
constituents" where would be the present boasted

But, had the President refused what would have been
what would not have been the clamor against him,
The enemy OF the Republics of the South; the friend
of the Holy Alliance, would have been held up for
the execration of this and future ages The language
OF distinguished politician of the day, would have
been verifed-",ad sou taken the other side we
would forever have Frustrated you
Another accusation against the Executive is, that
OF disposition 10 continue the existing abuses in tho
Government. And of thu, character has been named

presume TO defend the establishment of institutions

hero 1t ever shall come, when great reformer
who would new 'va.Dp the Commonwealth shall in
the language of Jack Cads, bring the charge dis
