Delegates ola State Legislature, generally believe
as competent to form opinion constitutional points,
as their agents. As Mr.. Leigh says: "Although the
Representative ought TO be, aud generally will be-
iected for superiority, virtue aud intelligence, yet
greater mass OF wisdom and virtue still resides in the
suent body, than The utmost portion allotted to any in
disiduai."
In the case of Mr. Mangum, this unworthy son
contends that it is '.unpfncplcd unprecedented
act--the act Of Il corrupt majority &c to instruct
him (Mr. Mangun) ON .(ons,ituf;onai' question
STILL he nothing to ccnsurc in preci..iy similar
case IN the Legislature of Virginia, regard to M
RreS! lie must think the People are fools not TO sec
these things Now, listen to what Mr.. Leigh himself
says upon this constitutional" subject
If the passages above cited (rom the Virginia Re.
solutions OF 80, to show that the States being parties
aLore hetr authority) be orthodox" says Mr. Leigh
the main proposition which hath been above urged to
prove the right of State Legislature to instruct Sc.
majors IS cstabiished-that the State Legislature is
clothed with the general attributes of the State sovc-
feiEnty. And If those doctrines be cor
rect says Mr. Leigh, (and which he certainly labors 10
prove correctly here will be end to that distinction
which has been insisted on between instruction, on
constitutional points.which have been said not to be-
obligatory on Senator, instructions OF
pofcy, which are allowed to be obligatory On the con-
uary a. would appear, that there be any difference in
the obligation OF such Instructions, those Of Me former
description CON Constitutional points, Of The stronger
oEfg"t,on but, adds Mr. Leigh, il is useless to
offer proof tlatc right command implies tie duty 10
Need add another word on the subject since Mr.
Le,sh as so successfully fought the battle for me p
Does he not say that the right to command nples the
uuly 10 ooey and that If there be any difference i'm
The obligation of Instructions those the Constitutional
description s, are OF the stronger oblgation'
The Wing also contends that Mr.. Leigh is not to be
driven from his seat "by faction, smugpied into the
Lcgisatuc under false issues and spurious preences
VOW, should Ike to know the issues which he here
aindes-lti be Leigh Leigh then ii is against
hin--lr il be Instructions or no instructions then
u is against hinlf it be the Administration or no
Administration, still il is against him. Ii is itntnateria
TO my purpose which be the fact Let him take either
norm OF the dilemma, and shall be satisfied | am
prepared 10 go into an argument upon each and

by wish to bring these hasy remarks to close TO most
pone the duty will barely remark, however that no
thn can be more ridiculous than hear the Whip talk

In conclusion, let il suffice present few extracts
taken IRON the Wing, of the present year-all having
