The abuse TO which the fansi'g pdri-
loss has been subjected by s5mo mambers !
Of Congress, their entire dosiiuhian Of self
respect, and wilisl disregard Of dho imPor-
iant obligations due the country, are snS-
jeOts which cill1or cur serious ana unprcl

that during the last eight years, corruption
in and out of Office, has met with the most
alttering encouragement, and pspirants for
distinguished places, or for the more savofy
repast on the loaves and fishes, have notat-
tempted a rivalry in yirtuous ranks OF cnao-
bling deeds but have given aloose to the
worst passions Of their nature, and have
trampled in the dust, their own consciencos
and tlp Constitution Of their country. Why
should such condition of things exist, un-
less encouragement is received from those
high in authority, and who have tho power
of dispensing favors, or Withholding places
and cmoluments? The truth is, the govern
ment, at this moment, is corrupt to the core
the fountain is impure, and all the streams
that flow therefrom, partake Of the same
poisoned qualities. Encouragement has
been held out to the needy and ambitious,
to come and partake Of the spois, while the
opportunity permits. They anticipate the
dly of rctribution, when the strong arm Of
the people shall he laid upon them-when
the voices of the multitude shall como up
to theirh high places, laundering in their ears
tho anathemas Of an oppressed and injured
country. Then will their craven hearts
sink within them, and weeping, and wailing
and gnashing Of teeth, be heard throughout
the land Then will shouts, and triumphs
and reioicings, be waited from ono cxtremc
of the Union to tho oher-and virtue, anG
honor, and patriotism, that for years have
been banished from our national councils
by the denunciations Of demagogues ant
the. recroancy Of political aspirants, stanC
(ortn,unawed and unshackled by the frown
and fetters oftyranny. The storm IS nov
gathering-the cloud in the horizon
though mere speck, will rise, and spread
and darken in its approaches, until it burst
with an awful vengeance upon III, enamie
Of liberty and the desecraters of the Consti
tuition.
A change must be effected, but when
