Administration, and those VINO are llnked Win
If? 1t may be, when the danger shaii De over,
and the suffering of the country shall have been
relieved. that this strong gament will again be
broken; but tell gentlemen on the other side,
flat it will not be broken until the danger is pas
sed away, and oppression has relaxed its grasp
mon the country. Then, if we choose to fall
back into our original minority, and shall. dis
cover danger from another majority we snail
again be found warning against that majority
with the same energy as we are now conleno-
ing. =,
We are advocates of State rights; although
small, resolved and consistent in our purpose
When we were before the world contendlng Tor
our principles toe to toe, against our opponents,
where was the President? OF what party was
he? He stood by until the dispute was nearly
settled. then drew his sword, and calling ms
party to rally to the CLEAN OF 1t, directed his
exterminating hostility against u.s. And when
we were cold and stiff, true still to his military
propensty, he sought for some other object Tor
his attack. and struck at the Bank of the Unit
ed States. In vain did the Bank hold up the
Constitution for its protection, ne struck through
if. In vain did the venerated instrument re-
sist the Executive mace. We, not yet dead,
struck with horror at the baseness Of the act,
rushed with our energies to the rescue, and now
we find ourselves in mingled ranks. 1.-THE strug-
gle shall be pressed let what may happen, who
ever he be that joins himself to us, it is inmate
rialwhat name he comes with, greet MIN as
nv brother in arms, until we shall have put
down the danger which threatens us. But the
gentleman from Georgia says, who are we? Ye
are the sugar men and the Gotten men, OF the
South; the rum men. of the West; and the mo-
! lasses men, of New England. stand on cot
ton bale: where does the gentleman from Geor-
ola stand? Who have we to oppose? "A Unit
an Anti Bank party? Why the gentleman from
| Georgia is a Bank man. An Anti TarlH partyf
Why the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr
! WILKINs) is Tariff man. An Anti-lnternal
Improvement party? Why many OF the gen
tlemen's colleagues are OF that party. Inc
! gentleman from Missouri voted for the Cumber-
land Road Bill. But the gentlemen are all
leashed together, will not say to hunt in Gov
ers, but they exhibit as great variety princi
plss as is to be found in any party in the Oppo
sition, at least, find as many among them.
| But the gentleman from Georgia says we
are the Punch party. Letthe People understand
this appelation. If the South forms the acid
who is it, would ask, that has held the press
upon us? Who brought us out from the South
and squeezed and pressed us until they have
driven our vitals out? Why, the gentleman from
Georgia, and the gentleman from Pennsylvania
and those with whom they act They have
pressed us until they have forced US into thl:
mixture such as the mixture is and believe i
is one which has been found to be not quite
so agreeable to the Presidents palate as the re
al mixture is to the palate of the gentleman
from Georgia The Punch party! Let it &C
abroad, let it be told in the nurseries that we
are the Punch party, and every one will supply
the corollary. Punch and the Devil! The gen
tleman from Georgia, and his friends, will have
to take the cognomen of the opposite party.
