ton Of her own members, those who bring
in their hand the prescribed evidence OF
their election, by the People of the State,
are entitled to take their seats upon the floor
OF that House and 10 hold them until dis.
turbed by proof preferred on general petl.
ton. That this IS so, must be appaIen,
from The fac, that those members who yo.
ted them out Of their seats possess no better
or other means OF proving their own night
to SIT and TO vote on that question, than
that held by any one of those whom they
exclude. Were there other States situated
precisely in ihis respect as New Jersey,
would It not be as fair for The New Jersey
members TO vote these representatives out
Of the Representative Hall ns II was for
them TO vote here's outl That think is
Virginia law--!t IS al least plantation law,
and that Is very good law That until tie
House IS organized, lie who has the eyi
dence Of his return as a Representative
elected by the People Of his district, is en-.
titled TO take his seat. But the Represen.
tatives Of New Jersey, with this evidence il
their hand, were voted out of their SEALS
their competitors, while the evidence was
still under examination, were voted 10 and
immediately gave their complacent votes
for the Sub Treasury bill.

caunot forget how often you havc heard
these subjects discussed by far ab,et hands
tban mine, (crles Of no, no--Loue more
able-go on-go on.) | viii not farther
dwell upon these topics. The time has
come when the public mind is nearly made
Jp-aud are very shortly about TO settle
these questions together slih the prosperity
OF the country for many years TO come
(Cheers.) am only DESTROYS Of keeping
myself 10 the line OF remark With which |
commenced. | say then, that the enemy
has been driven 10 his last citadel. He
takes 10 hlmse! popular name, while be-
meath lis cover he fires all has abuse upon
his adyeisaries. That seems TO be his
chef mode OF warfare. Il you ask han
what are his pFelensions TO the hOnors aud
The confidence OF the COUNTY,, bis answer
ls, +" am Democrat" Blu, are GU not
in arms egelus, Mr. Ponseu's bill The
answer still is, 81 am a Democrat, and sup.
port ail the measures OF this Democratic
Administration" Yes. bu, VIVA, is that
" | an Democrat" But do you approve
Of the turning out Of the members from
New Jersey "Oh yes, because the words
are written on cur banner words actually

scorns the Broad Seal of Ner Jersey"
My friends, only desire that Tho pro.
LESSONS and principles Of this Administer
ton may be examined. We are coming to
those liaes when mere professions Gao no
longer deceive. Virginia has once been de.
ceIved by tbem-bui that day is past, times
are comlng-!hey are, trust, jasi al hand
when that distinguished son OF Virginia,
that enineat and patriotic citizen who has
been put 10 nomination for the Chief Exec
uiye office under this Government, will be
elected By the unbough;, unconstrained ant
frages Of his counlrynen. Cheers, To
that event | look forward with as much
certainty as to the duration oil bis life

Wy acquaintance with tie feelings and
sentiments OF tho North has boon extensive :
and | believe that from Pennsylvania, East,
New Jersey, New York, and the whole OF
New England, with The solitary exception,
probably If New Hampshire-l say, have
no, a doubt that the whole country will go
for the election of William Henry Harrison
for the Presidency. (Cheeflng.) OF NY
native State Of New Hampshire, shall al
ways speak with respect. believe that
the very foundation Of her graaite hills be
gin to shake /; Cheers indeed, my only fear
for her is, that she will come into the great
family Of her sister States, only when her
AID Is no longer needed. Laughter and
cheers
Fellow citizens: We are on a great
march to the lrlumphan, victory Of the prln
ciples Of liberty over executive power. II
we Go not accomplish 1t, the future, own,
appears to me fali 81 darkness and Of doubt.
If the American People shall sanction the
course aud the principles Of tho admnlslra.
ton, tor one, though have been thought
hitherto Of rather sanguIue temperament,
shall begin not little 10 despair Of the re.
public. But ! will not despair Of 1t. The
public mind s aroused men are beginning
to tbluk for themselves, and when they do
tbs they are not far from a right decision.
There IS nov al attempt 90 the part Of the
administration, who seem beginning al
length 10 fear for the perpe.uny Of their
power, TO excite feeling Of scrlmony and
bitterness among neIshbo's. Have you not
seen thus particularly OF late IN the admin
lstrallon papers, BE above II. Ceres OF
"we ulH-me are" mingled vlth cheer
log) Tel your neiEhbors tha, we are all
embarked ~ one cause, and that We mus,
sink OF swim together. Invite them, not 10
a tauntlng, but IN generous and temper
ate sptrir, to come forth and argue the great
questions Of the day and to see If they can
give good and solid reasons, why there
should not be a change. Yes, a CHANCE.

for change. (Cheers.) However well
