that victory is likely to enure.
Much might be said in reference 10 4.
letter; but we shall limit ourselves, for6
present, to a few brief remarks.
| 1. It is not corrcct to say that theSs
Rights party co-operated with the Wig
in opposition to the extension Of Execufa
power. The State Rights men, being =.
WAYS the opposers ofunconstitutional Dor.
or, whether exercised by Congress oh
Executive, were always Wings. Tier
claimed TO be Wings. Witness The ioas.
OF our state rights Representative IA Cos.
gress, D. H. Lewis given 1t is believed, il.
1884, on some public occasion: SThe
Wing of 'T6, the Republican Of '93, and
and the Nunifer Of "a: names naycha1r
bat principles, are eternal" This is bn
one proof among hundreds that nigh, Be-
given, that the State Rights men or Null
fers, IN that trying time, claimed 10 1.
Wings in principle. The name Wig
however, did not come into general ne
until afer the PRONUNCIATION of the hgi.
toned tory doctrine of the paper readh
the cabinet and the Protest. All VIZ
opposed these doctrines as subversive d
the true principles of RcPublicanisn, wen
called Wings. In this opposition, the stas
rights men were not mere co-operatoB
or auXiliaries. On the contrary, Gz
took the lead. They had stood, in a gea
measure, alone, in their opposition 10 tie
proclamation, and other high handed fed,
raj measures but, when the ExecuiiFes s
sumed monarchical powers: when hen
solved to unite the purse with tie s|uS
when he claimed ali power Tat cOa8 T.
called executive, because he was lie lead
Of that department; when he Represented
all subordinate executive officers as NEE
! irresponsible instruments in his hanlS
when he began totalk ike Louis the fol-.
teenth Of France, and say, q am s
State'-there was a general rally asaHs
the doctrine throughout the union. lie
great North began to come to our az
and the great Wing party, comprising a, /,
who opposed these tory doctrines ID regu,
to the powers of the Federal Executive
took their stand for the preservation d
American liberty.
?. In all this, the State Rights part
never turned to the right or TO the left b
went straight forward in support of thsi
principles. As they had stood firmly
their principles in the day of danger, S
they Gid not foolishly desert them, whe
the North and the West came forward
support of the same cause.
8. The present administration has Dot
given up one of those extravagant prefer
tons, against which the friends ofconst.
tutional liberty then rallied from one endO
the country to the other; yet Mr.. Car
now proposes to cooperate WITH %
administration, and to give it strength 'hi
support.
4. Mr.. Cralle seems to think that mD'5
has been gained in this late contest; d. =
says the administration is now weak, D
It be weak, it is because the people are 2
serting it, and not because il has gwen 2
any gifts pretentions. If ii be sav'i 2
the present crisis, it will have comPss'
triumphed; and all tie opposition d 2
State Rights party will have b'h u
vain.
5, We will not say that Mr.. Gale 49,
that portion of the party that goes VII
him have been thought ur;', but tbs !
viii say, that they are in a fair way toe
fused up" Should the administfap'
even triumph in maintaining the hgag's.
erS Of the executive, for whiehit hos e, =.
so long eontending, and in carrying 20.
effect its ruinous arti-col: merclal pong,
the little fragment of party that sfall n' y.
saved the tottering regency, will s'Oa y !"
j forgotten. It viii be like the water o =, !,
rivulet, lost in the swelling sea ls. IN
again to assume its former indlVlaa@
