TIE EXPUNGLNG RESOLUTIONS
MA TILE QIEuJN OE' INSTR TjITION


Pende,on asks Us for the Of our bow TO strike at
cur party-but it will be his perifor, the shaft,
which he aims at us, will directly recol upon The mead
of the friend whom he is seeking to protect We do not
hesitate to declare once, that if correspondent
were the wors, enemy whom Mr. Leighhas in the world,
he would desire him to take the very course which Fen
deton points out to his adoption Let the Exprhging
Resolutions pass they will IN all probability do-then
let our Senators refuse neither to obey 10 TcSgn and
the Indignation of Virginia will sweep them and their
party away with the bosom Of destruction No reserva-
ton which Pcndeton tbnrs to find in MIR. Leigh Nr-
port; miserable plea, that the ExPunglng Resolutions
will violate the Constitution will be sufficient to screen
Mr. Leigh particular from the force OF the public SEN
timrnt.
We shall not undertake formal refutaton of The fol-

Pendle,on Is pleased to give us brush in his Preface
He wishes 10 put the peace Of the nation, in the hands
Of Senators who would it from the wrath OF Gen
Jackson and his friends. Is Pendleton sure that the
President wants war: We sure, for parts,
That ne does not We know, that he las sincerely de-
sircs peace as do Uhcse the very words OF his
own intimate friend in November we know that we
are as DESTROYS Of peace Pendrlon himself if 1t can
be honorably Misunderstanding should he desire ,oar
Pcndeton too much sense to attribute TO am
bon and to gable about his wishing to serve third
term Such idle stuff is better suited to the miserable
hacks and scribb!ers of his Party-to the Whir'g
Whr who couner!eits crculars most of the false
coin which is aioat-than the author Of Pendlcon-
We know, that General Jackson does not wish a re-
election and every friend he has at Washington
knows the fact. Does he expect to gam aonor ny te
war, What! the Hero Of N. Orleans desire new mill
tary Can he wish to up new pubic DEBT.

monetary system into confusion and elevate the crest OF
the Bank Of the U. S. to give the Wings whom he has
subducd, the only chance they may have OF rising
from their ruins? For tee OF us, cannot see any rea-

nor do how his anxiety TO prepare for the worst
