oo,ncd determined TO msconceivc HIM. lie mac refer
red to remark of Mr. vs. when Nc M dsava as
n the time He had supposed case TO Illustrate the re-
hive position of Mr.. Shepherd and MIR. RtchIe. RE
unosrd that the Editor OF the Wing was IN partnership
with individual who once n,ed and advanced
stsn Inv step until he had made him ms PartneI-aho
who should under those circumstances, become Ills OPP
poneut. This was the case when Nr ". surpoS1IIuw
His remarks would Justify such conclusion as had peeh
dawn from, them. He had cast no Stigma upon MI.
Shepherd and none could be fairly drawn from his words
Mr. W. did not think it necessary for him TO epiy 10
all the remarks of the gentleman from Abemae; but he
tbnnoh, he had only to alludc to the warmth IN which
that gentleman had INDUCED to shew the necessity OF
acting now on subjects OH which there appeared sucn
quantity of steam to be let oil, that the feelings whch
thov excited might be allowed TO subsde before the ge-
uor,l questions of Internal Improvement came up.
There we're a few of the gentlemans remarks winch
Mr. W would briefly notce-He has told us, said Mr.
w that many bad dog has disgraced good name
Nov no one ought to!be familiar with the apPi!ca-
tion of this rule than the gentleman from AlDemare
hmse-for he and his party have brought INTO dISrepu
the once honorable and reputable name OF nhg. Ills
party must change its name II II hopes LOT SUCCESS
thpm-they must change their principles also The
gentleman has spoken with contempt Of the Democratic
Republican Party II is true the name is rather long
one: but not so long that OF the Wing party would
he if all the designations by which it has been
known were strung together. For, within the space
Of nv short political life, it has been known Gy
at least seventeen different names But III ruin,
our party name is applicable and significant. con-
tend that we are the Democratic Republican party-te
gentleman knows the derivation OF the WORD uch"crap
for we owe existence to The people; we came here
10 carry into execution their w-and tha VIII can DC
for nothing else but the public good 81 mat our
action NAV indeed be considered the will OF the peo-
pie for the public good. But the gentleman mas
found out by some means or other, that there has
been meeting somewhere or othcr: Ut WHICH LIE
subject was considered, and that pledges were given
bv members to vote in particular manner, at all a-
yards Now, sir, said Mr. W., deny that any man has
been pledged vote upon this Oh any other subject
aoains, any opinion he may form hereafter, or against
his views Of the constitutional features of the question
No pledge has been ven, no promise made which does
not leave every open TO argument and free to vote
according his conscience. And how have VIC present.
I'd his snbect to the House Have here and
asked the passage Of resolution OF instructions, no'cnS
roicas and insisted upon carrying our point NO, SIR
we have asked reference Of the subject that It may be
fully drlberated upon.
The ncnetration of the gentleman from Abcmarle,
seems wonderfully increased, and he has made many
marvellous discoveries, as 10 the nature ana
the Republican party since he put on ms Nulcat!oh
rc,,cIrs lie has become exceedingly sensitive on
the subject of Caucuses and Conventions, and never
fails to bcabor the Baltimore Convention at sad rate
i, which he saws had finger in the pie. 1t Is true,
enid Mr. W Twas there-and it meeting Of men-
beers of the great Democratic party, tor comparison OF
opinions and for consultation upon the public good-and
the opinions there expressed were worth just as much
as those Of tho number OF other citizens assembled
nj Baltimore or any where else The gentleman had
even dispersed that great Convention as caucus But,
Mr. W. thought this taunt came with peculiarly bad
grace from the gentleman from AlLearle who was once
the Chairman OF the meeting OF little squad, at Char.
ot,csve which, if any such asscmbage was entitled
to the name of cnucus ought certainly to have been so
denomnatcd being composedof members scarcely sul-
Gent in number even to form corporal guard.
All that we row ask, said Mr. W., u.s. that this subject
should undergo the usual in the usual mode
fer so far as my vote effect IT, this Stigma shall be
wpcd away from that man (our old patriot fresldent)
who has contributed than any man now living to
brine the ship of state back the Jctiersonian track "a
lauGh) Gentlemen laugh! Laugh on, gentlemen
You have tried many exPcdents to get into power You
tried panic making; but the frmncss OF the people de-
feaed you-You tried predictions but the wisdom oil
the Presidents MEASURES fasifed every jo and title oil
your predictions: And you laugh now, but you cannot
rise by the force of rdcue. Look back the ruin and
desoation you have occasioned wherever your power
and influence have been felt, and if smile must light
your counenances it ought 10 be the smile of repent

Mr. GILMER, in reply to what had been said by the
member from Goochand about steam begged that gen.
