2nd y. A iederalist Who, in the name of won
ders, has put that nonsense into your head
Isl y. Why-did not the Wing saw the other
day, that he had been advocating doctrines which
Hamilton himself would think almost too federal?"
"a y. lhe wing! And pray, my dear sir, how

the flag OF j. Ill. p? to cite his expressions (?

ported J. q. Adams, with all his sky-high Fe-
deral notions ? or Mr.. Clay, with not Il State Right
doctrine inscribed on his banner, the ultra-adyo-
cate of the Tariff, of Internal Improvement, and of
the Bank? Was it, when this same Wing, after one of
the most flaming eulogiums on the Proclama-
ton that was ever penned, whirled round in the
twinkling of an eye, abused the Proclamation for
all that was vile, out-heroded Herod i'm praise of
those state Rights, that he had so long aban-
uohed ana almost scotfed at-and who, amid all his
shameless tergiversations in other respects, and
changing of opinions fifty times a day." is still true
to Henry Clay. Is this the person, who is to damn
A.. Stevenson for a federalist? and to endorse the
politics OF our Representative?-Pshaw my dear sir,
you must be jeering me.
lSt y. We'll, well-but tell me; has not Stevenson
been writing against the right of Secession?
ri y. Certainly-And L do not agree with him
upon that point: lie has been writing against the
right of Secession, as n constitutional measure.
10 v uHu dS nG ulIIcfSW WITH YOU nDOn that
point, how can you vote for him?
"a y. Because that is one only point-and for this
one, there are a hundred others ABOUT which dis
agree with Robertson. Now, sir, will you vote for
the man, who ~disagrees with you about one ques-
uon, or one who disagrees about a hundred2
LIST. True, rue-but this Secession is SO vital n
question!
2d. Admit its importance-but when is il likely to
come again into practice? / hope, not in your life
time, nor IN mine either-almost certainly not i'm
the ~ 10Y M AaI go
discard him, and take another gentleman. with
whom L certainly disagree on many practical oues-
tons about the administration of the government.
Even this same Wing does not deny MIR. II. 10 he n
Nulhher-but simply says, "IfMr. r.. isa Nullifer,
Stevenson is worse 2" =
LIST y. But, sir, Stevenson belongs 10 the Rich
mond Junto-
2nd y. Who says so? Who has the unparalIel-
ed folly TO cant about such a party?-I see YOU blush
and well you may. You are going to say the
Whlg-A paper-which has changed its opinions
so many " fifty times" that it has forgotten when it
self ridiculed the phantom of such a party.
LIST y. We'll, well but how can you vote for a
man, who dis a candidate for oflice-who bankers
after the f~esh-pots of Egypt-whose heart and soul
are fxed upon the Treasury of the IT,. States.n
End y. And who makes those assertions?
LIST y. Oh! the Wing, of course.
2nd y The Wing! Indeed, | should think of
all politicians breathing-one only excepted-the
Whigman would be the last, to attack any other for

remember to forget, but no other can, the SOD which
he once drew from the flesh-pots himself But, sir.
in the case of MIR. s., whom will you believe? This
Edtor!-or, the representatives of the people in the
Congress of the U. States, when at the close of am
angry and an agitating session, he obtained from eve
ry voice, be it that ofnullifier, national republican. or
what not? the warm expression oftheir praise for the
impartiality and integrity he had displayed in the
chair. And not only their votes, but the most cordial
and most unqualified assurance of respect of
every man. who TnShnH IN hid liz. c-tt
Can you believe, that if Stevenson were not hon
est and high-mindcd, some of these men would
not have found it out, and denounced him ?
Can you suspect, If he had in the smallest iota
perverted his office to please the Executive. that
Daniel, or Wicklitfe, or Sutherland, or Root wonld
not have avowed it, and given an indignant nav
to the honorable vote of thanks? And yet YOU
are TO pass al ibis over, TO listen to the concentrate
cant OF an ignorant and n pyejudiced Editor-like
this!-l pray you TO "tell it to the marines Tn
