one time, OF the most irresistible humor, and
at another Of biting and whitening sarcasm, he
exposed the absurdiies, the worse than ride
uious imbecililes, and mos, .dcpravod coriup-
uons which have uniformly characterized the
party IN power. His delivery was pleasing,
and IN the highest degree energetic his voice
was clear and strong. and his enunciation re-
markabiy rapid. which made il impossible for
the reporter 10 preserve any thing more than n
slight outline Of his remarks. He found il,
moreover, both in mr.. Culver's and in the sue
ceedinc address, much more agreeable TO lis

the orators, than to pencil their sentences.
,nr. Culver ssid, in the opcnisSg Of his remarks,
That, but for two considerations, he should feel
that. coming as he did, from another state, he
owed an apology for intruding upon their at

that the contest in which we are engaged is

that as iron sharpeneth iron, so doth the coun-
tenance of man his fellow. We come here to
exchange opinions and TO collect into one voice
our complaints. We come in the exercise of
our noble rights, the sole remaining one
that has not We, been cloven down; and this,
thank Heaven, is safe from their iron despo-
tism. And he would appeal to their own rec
objections for the ample cause Of their thus
coming together. He then contrasted, with
great vigOr and clearness, the present condi-
ton of our land with that which it was in,
twelve years ago; and drew a terrible picture
of the distress that now involves every inter-
est and every hope and every occupation.
He dwelt particularly upon the disasters which
had overtaken the merchants, the mechanics
and the farmers. How, said he, do you ac-
count for all this He knew that the Yankees
had the bump of comparison and that they
would find out the true cause of this sound of
mourning and of woe, which was echoed from
every quarter of our land, from the Bay of
Fundy to the Gulf of Mexico. He knew that
they would call to mind the attacks that had
been made by the government upon every
branch of industry. He explained the princi-
pies of the Tariff regulations which the inter
ests of the country needed, and explained
what Jackson really meant by his skulknp
and shuffliup recommendation Of a jucicious
tariff.-Now said he make up your minds that
this battle is to be fought over again fiom the

competition with the vassals of European des-
potism: my cheek nantes with shame when
