commencement and only branch"
Thus mucl--but we must not stop here The
picture, to be complete, must have both sides pre-
scented to that "indignation and diStrHa OF the
country" which Col. Benton unfairly invokes
against the Wings, C[13-Let him show solitary
instance-whether in the person Of a much distin-
gushed or less distinguished friend of General
Harrson--wherein he srer, much less so recently,
en- teraincd aud expressed Suc5 sentiments, either
of personal disrespect or political adherence, as
are furnished in the following excerpts from the
Speeches of Mr.. Calhoun-the only present hope
Of Mr.. Van Burenin Carolina and other Southern
States.
But Col. Benton may say, or his friends may say,
that he is not responsible for the coalition which
has placed himself and Mr.. Calhoun in the relation
of friends and coadjutors. Very wel-that is
what want them to sny--for in thus essaying
to him, they vindcate the great body of the
Republicans, who support the election o! General
Harrison from the rery reproach with which the COL
onel would visit them, on account of their alleged
inrongruity with the more honorable and distin-
gu,shed tederalistS, who chance or choose 20 ac
with them. The fact is however, as we have sta
tei-that NO WIG has had thus to eat his words
suppress his scorn, transform his very nature, ant
abandon all his past and recent opinions, in order
to support the man of the 5eople--the soldier o
Ohio.

corruption will overspread the land. Every South

faithful TO the duties which Providence has allotted

emouments of this Government, which will be re-
served for those only tobo hare qualified themselves
by political prostitution, for admission into III.

acer--ariul, cunning, and corrupt politicians, and
not fearless warriors. THEY have entered tht
Treasury not sword in hand, as public punderrrs
but with the false keys Of sophisiry, as pilferers

men and money Cesar struck down Roman liberty
at the fatal battle Of Pharsalia never to rise again
from which disastrous hour all the powers of the

of Cesar, and perpetuated in his line With mo.
