If master by applauding every act OF pro-
,crption inflicted by his iWa'iibie majesty,
however base or despicable in It's character
branding the independent officer VINO happened
to differ from the Administration IN political
opinion, with infamy, and acc@ dlng to the sue
cessor a perfect degree Of capacity aud '",egr'-
,Ity, though he might rival in basenes7' 'sno-
rance and niamy, the vlest and most oath-
some creature that could be picked up from the
dregs of SOCIETY. In these times that tried
mems souls, wIAre were found the Whgs!--'
I They were found where they had struggled
before entreached behind the constitution and
laws fighting for that freedom Of thought and
Independence Of action guaranteed to every
man by the principles oialI free governments
The halls oil our irrational councils were eloquent
with the most powerful appeals thA ever drop
ped from the lips of man, in behalf OF bleed
! ing constitution, broken laws, nsuied virtue,
and corrupted morals. Thu people were be
sought with the most stirring admonllons to
nerve their hearts and strike one mighty blow
for the redemption Of their Liberties, ere it was
too late. Truth, in the luness of lis eloquent
outpourings, dfused its empire far and vide.
The NoSth and West revere its potency, and
the South bows before its shrine. Shall the
Nullltcrs attempt to subvcrt lis domnlon?-
Shall they fold up the little flag that has gilt
tered in the front Of their ranks, cancel all
their deeds OF patriotism, blot from memory the
remembrance Of their arduous struggles and
GLORIOUS achievements in the cause Of their
country, and rush headIong into the arms of
the Van Buren, party, the author of the meas
ures they opposed, TRANQUILITY repo'ing in their
prostitute embraces, and vinJcating all their
acts, professions and principles, with as much
fury and loud-mouthed zeal as is usually dis
played by rabid Ioco.toco Democratic hero,
rantng aud ravng like mad-dog, sustaining
every deed o. the party in power? God forbid
it! few may struggle off to the way-Side.

no longer the noble being he once was,-but is
sunk below the sphere in which shame can
mantle his cheek, or truth and virtue exert its
mild and holy influence upon him, and, in fact,
is as insensible TO all the ennobng feelings of
a man as rock. There is similar point in
the political world, a ne plus ultra, beyond
which no politician can go without such de-
generacy Esprit, as, at once, strikes him off
the catalogue Of high-minded, honorable, and
honest statesmen. Plunged thus deep in mi
putty, the patriotism, integrity, and love ofcon-
sistency that once reused his blood to action,
no longer impress his cold sluggish bosom, and
nothing but the maniac cries Of Federalism,
Bank, Tariff, and Aristocracy," are sent forth,
as the poor deluded creature glides on, in ina
glned security, to the fatal straits where fright
Iui ruin glares upon him from either side.

That no Nulifer will extinguish the fame
ofhis former acts, or the bright prospects thick
ening upon the future, is the sincere hope of
