THE EXPUNdINcf DEBATE.
The speech Of MIR. Leigh, taken in conjunction with
that OF Mr. Porter, may be assumed to have placed be-
fore the public the defence of the Bank Wing Senator'S
and exhibited tirs case upon which they mean to rely
The defence consists of parts, the first of which
we'll known before; but the second must ex-
cite establishment every where, and especially among
the unsophlstlcated and must be permitted
to say, the deluded followers Of these Bank Wing
Senators. The first point is to raise panic about
the destruction of the journal, they please TO term
it, although there is no destruction of any thing and
the second is, TO take refuge under the innocency
Of President Jackson, and to deny out and out that
any offence crime whatever imputed TO him -
This annuncation will doubtless be received with total
incrcduty by TIE Bank Wings through out the Union
but the publication of MT Leighs speech will dspel in
ceduy, establish the FACT aud leave these Bank Wings
the melancholy alternative of following the example of
the Bank Senators in eating their speeches and charges,
Of abandoning leaders who have wonderfully aban
dnnrd their followers. HE speech OF Mr.. Leigh be
published and from that speech will be that the
innoCency o te President is the sole refuge, shell
Ter and reliance Of those who denouncng condemn
ing and tearing him TO pieces Two years ago AndH
is innocent, wtat Mey9 II they admit him TO be in
noccnt what do they themselves to have been,
Certainly they deprive themselves of alb of all
justification, Of all defence, for their conduct two years
ago. they exhibit themselves in the umentable point
Of view that body OF public stood in To admit
the innocence Of the President is to p.0cE the guilt Of
themselves, only toxards the PRESIDENT, but towards
their country, and to that God TO whom all moral beings
accountable; and il is 10 ad themselves tho authors
Of all The calanities inflicted upon the business part
of the community during the panic aud pressure. But,
this is the fate Of faction. The President accuse
denounced condemned by faction, and for the greatest
of al. crimes the violation OF the Laws and Constitution
of his country and for converting scen Oh unparalleled
prosperity into of unparalleled distress This
tencr of condemnation, untrue in Itself, unconsttu
,icalIy pronounced and now, To extrlcale themselves
from the appalling condition in which they are caugh and
which the cxpunging process compels them TO answer,
these furious asslans OF the PRESIDENT Two years ago. who
then deemed him worthy Of scalfod, convert them
selves into his apologss, his defenders his euoglss and
crouch themselves under the mantle OF his nnosency Not
only the sentence OF condemnation which they passed. as
they alcge contains no putaI!on OF criminal intent IN
the President, but it is now denied that they intended in
their hearts charge him with any bad intent Whatever
and ill., incredible declaration is forced out OF them by
Tic dcplorabe dilemma they are now I'M tor they ad-
init that they intended charge the President ,cih any
offence ,chatcutr that moment they have to admit that he
was entitled trial for that offence; and that they, in
proceeding against him, without trial, violated tho
Constitution, subvcred Justice, and disgraced the Sc
nate. They obliged, teE the :ss odious part OF
the wo to deny all that they did, and tn cat up all the
speeches which they made for six months; they
Obliged deny that they either did charge, intended
to charge, any offence whatever upon the PRESIDENT
They haze first to their sentence OF condemnation,
which they altered and rc.aIcred, and made and
more ambiguous, till they can deny any thing and at
firm any thing under it, and then eXclani, here is
charge of evil intentions: which only makes the thng
worse for they themselves subtley contrIvcd these
bruous phrases in order like cunning attones to avoid
committing themselves and then they have TO deny
that the charge in their hearts, in their mouths,
or their tongues; for if the charge was in their
hearts, was aggraraon of their offence to leave it
out of the record Therefore, they driven to deny
that their hearts, they ever charged President jack
with any offence; and, of course, they have to ad-
nit that all their denuncatoy speeches were alse and
factous. Mr. Leigh has delivered several speeches,
and not published them; but this must published.
The public must have it, and it must be lad in form
which will stop the denials Of the Bank Wings. IL is
speech arhich acH DlSBAND THE PARTY! That part
of it towards the end which declares tie innocence Of
the President which absolves him from all offence, and
all crime whatever, and IN which Mr.. Leigh solemnly
declared that if he then sitting in court OF i'm
parchment upon the President, he would return YER
dict Of NOT GUILTY; this part alone is enough 1t

The words Of The Bunk Wing Senators, think them
selves bewtched. Al first they will not believe word;

to the President false to their God, fathess to
their followers fatal TO their county, and shame
less now in the face of the world. As for President
Jackson his measure of content must be full; he
the assaans who two years ago, were tearing MIN 10
pieces now meek doves, gentle as lambs, honorlng
his motives defending his conduct and crouching under
The mantle of his innocence to save themselves from be-

Justice, and dsgracng the Senate.
