Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1831-03-18

From the Political Arena.
The Enquirer will not award any credit to our Sc
majors, will suffer opposition Editors TO praise
them. s'Fhc very men," Quoth Ii, 'who vndicated
Mr. Adams course in the Panama Mission are now the
most vocerous if not the sincerest, panegyr,sts OF
these gentlemen" We were not in the Political Are
ma when the merits of the Panama Mission were
discussed, and guilty of no inconsistency IN
expressing admiration at the noble stand
taken by the Virginia Senators. We wen recohec1
however, the coGent arguments with winch the En-
quirer ahounded, prove that SIR Adams was wrong
IN the assertion OF constitutional right to originate
nissions-and that four out of the five cabinet minis
tiers OF Gen. Jackson, then III the Senate Zealousiy
supported Mr. Branch's resolution but what Mr..
Adams perhaps unnecessarily, asserted ms right TO
do, Gen. Jackson has actually done. The one erred
IN an abstract opinion, the other has committed the
overt act If MIR. Adams guilty of fragrant viola
ton of the constitution, by expressing an opinion what
measure of guilt shall assign to the present Adj
ration Tor carrying the opinion into execu
ton? OF verify 'men mutsble."
But admitting that Editors, who now are 'thepane
gyris,s Of these gentlemen did support Mr.. Adams
in his views. Admitting that they considered Mr..
Tazewclrs oppugnaton 10 the then Administration, to
be actous, the result o! party feeling, and that his
arguments unscun and his positions untenabIe.
Why should they not admire that Roman dignity and
independence which prompted him array himself
against the very Administration which he had assisted
to bring into power, when he saw it following
which he had denounced in its predecessor: Must
they be insensble TO the beauty present of
perfectly consistent political course? For ourselves
without expressing AN opinion the constitutional
Tree 10 confess, That the grOuUu &C.
cupied by our distinguished Senators is green spot
IN the desert, upon which eyes love ~
| We will, therefore, occasion ofiers-and we
hope others will 90 the same-laud thu consistency,
the adherence TO principle, the ndepentencc-wortby
of the better days of the Re public which Tazewe
and Tyler have displayed And en,reat the En-
qurer not To take it much tn heart Praise of these
virtues IS not always covert satire Ir's course.
