-lOiSIuhi 'S''
Permit me. my dear sir, TO congratulate you, on tfSr
pas sage Of the Expunging Resolutions, end The cui'sss
quenl rduance Of the Journal OF the Senate, IRON the
foul blot Of MIR. Clay's c~ondemnatory resolutions, and OF
our glorious Constitution, from their base encEoachment.
We have been gravely told by the Wings, that 10 carry
into effect The cxpunging resolutions, would itself be
v;olatire of The Consitulion-and why: because The
Constitution requires, that each House of Congress
shall keep 4 Journal of its proceedings. They have tod
us that cIpungc. in lis literal meaning, signifies to blot
out, and consequently To expungc any proceeding upon
the journal, would be, to leave it in a mutllated and I'M
perfect condition. Truly their veneration for the Con-
s,itution has, Of late. assumed Il most imposing aspect
their respect for the sacred charter Of our liberties, has
been thrown in the fore ground in bold relief. But lhey
only exemplify the old adage of 'slraining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel" Whrre was their veneration tor
the Constitution, when they supported an unconstI1ulGn;
al Bank, an unjust and oppressive Tariff, a splendid
system Of Internal Improvement, in open violation oil the
Constitutions; to The perpetualing ufthc national debt, and
10 The cugeudering of strife and lealousies among 'hc
States: Then they could give the Constitution TO the "ihuS
of Heaven and none among them $50 poor 10 do IL Terer-
cnce.' Where was this respect for the sacred charter OF
our Liberties when they sustained and supported all a!ls'
tocI attic Senate; when that selfsams Senate, i'll Interrogation
OF the Constitution and the Laws, held up To the execrallon
of the country, and 10 the contempt Of the civilized world,
the Peoples President as 4 perjured mlscreant, an usurp'
er, a despot, u tyranl! Whsre was their regard Tor the
provisions Of the Constitution, when he Senate usurped
the privilege of the Representatives Of the People-Im'
ncacheu the President contrary IL The provisions or Inc
Cons,itu,ion-tric and condemned him contrary 10 the
provisions of the Constitution? And for what: De-
cause he took care that the Republic should receive no
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he sped the ball and pierced the
monster that was c%rouching for his prey, but not pre-
pared TO leap-becauseh he ~gIappled with The money-klng
in defence Of our rights anc liberties. In vain have lhey
since sought 10 shelter themselves behind The ii''nsy as
srrtinn of innocency Of intention of the President.-lh
vain have they since sought TO gloss the matter oy so.
