TRUE WING DOCTRINES.
By J. c. CALHOUN.
The following beautiful passages are
from the speech of john c. CALHOUN,
delivered in the Senate on the 9th May,
1884, on the Presidents PROTEST.
81 am mortified, (said Mr.. Calhoun)
that in this country, Boosting its Anglo
Saxon descent, any one of respectable
standing, much less the President of the
United States, should be found to enter
tain principles leading 10 such monstrous
results; and can scarcely believe myself
to be breathing the air of our country. and
TO be within the walls of this Senate cham |
Der, when | hear such doctrines vindica-
ted. 1t is proof of the wonderful de-
generacy of the times-of total loss of
the true conception of constitutional lib
erty. But, in this degeneracy, perceive
the symptoms of regeneration. 1t is not
my wish to touch on the party designations
that have recently obtained, and which
have been introduced IN the debate on this
occasion. /, however, cannot but remark,
that the revival of the party names of the
revolution, after they had so long slun1-
bered, is not without a meaning-not
without an indication of a return to those
principles which lie at the foundation of
country"
"Gentlemen ought to reflect that the
extensive and sudden revival of these
names, could not be without some ade-
| quate cause. Names are not to be taken
or given at pleasure. There must be
something to cause their application 20
adhere. If / remember rightly, it was
Augustus, in all the pleniiuds ofhis power,
who said that he found it impossible TO
introduce new world. What, then, is
that something! What is there in the
meaning of Wing and Tory, and what in
the character of the times, which has
| caused their sudden revival, as party de-
signations, at this time? / take it, that
the very essence of Toryism-that which
constitutes Tory-is to sustain preroga-
tive against prviIege-to support the Ex-
ecutive against the Legislative Depart
ment of The Government, and to lean TO
the side of Power against the side of Lib
erty, while the Wing is, in all these par
ticnlars, of the respective parties, Wing
and Tory, the opposite. and the parallel
runs through their application in all the
variety of circumstances in which they
have been applied, either in this country
or Great Britain. IT heir sudden revival,
and application at this time, ought to ad.
monish my old friends, who are now on
the side of the Administration, that there
is something in the times-somethIng IN
the. existing struggle between the parties,
and IN the principles and doctrines advo-
Gated by those in power, which has caused
so sudden a revival, and such an extern
siye application Of terms. have not con-
tributed to their Introduction, nor am
DESTROYS of seeing them applied-but |
must say to those who are interested, that
! they should not be, that nothing but their
reversing their course can possibly pre-
vent their application. They owe it to
themselves-they owe it to the Chief Ma
| eistrate (whom they support) as the head
of their party, that they should halt in
their support Of despotic and slavish doc
trines which we hear daily advanced, be-
fore a return of the reviving spirit of lib
erty shall oyerwhelm them with those
who are leading them to their return. .
