A lie upon its face /!

If ever there a party without principles It is
modern Whiggery. "-Giobe, Of 1914 FEB
The falsy of the above statement is concluslvely
proved by the single fact that the editor Of the Globe
opposes the party. WheneverBlair shall show symp-
toms Of adhesion to it, the friends OF Harrison and
reform may well examine the grounds on which it
stands. But so long that corrupt minion Of power
opposes the great Wing party, its friends may re-
main satisfied that its is right, and its prnci-
Piles those OF the patriots and sages Of the land IL
Blair really wishes to see General Harrison defeat
ed (and suppose he does, the continuance of his
$4,000 year. which he now receives for support
ing Mr.. Van Buren,, purely om Of regard for prin-
eipie will be cut of il he does not defeat the old
hero) he has but one course 10 take, and that is to
come out ia favor Of the General and create distrus
in that way, Of the honesty of the candidate, and
principles OF the party. q.

The resolution,som days since introduced
to the Senate by the distinguished Senator
from Pennsylvania was. on Thursday last,
permitted TO 60 TO select committee. AT
FIRST blush the proposition struck us as being
probably movement to changethe issue be-
fore the country which had placed the admi-
nis,ration in a position very difficult to main
TAIN But when we heard Mr.. Strange, Mr..
Calhoun, and Mr.. Clay, Of Ala, inierposing
objections, we were induced to think that the
movement was rather one taken upon Mr.. Blu
chanan's own responsibility than by party con-
cert. Messrs. Strange and Clay (adm.) seem
cd to think as we did at first, that it was cal
culated to change the issue before the coun-
try, and Mr.. Calhoun. indeed, spoke Of it en-
phatically, as "a proposition TO engraf the
banking system upon the Constellation" The
ground taken by the opposition in regard to
It was that, the Constitution was a good and
sufficient one, and that it conferred ample
powers upon Congress over this subject
The resolution is as follows:
.Resoi,ed, That select committee be appointed
for the purpose OF inquirng into the expedency of
proposing 10 the States such an amendment TO the
Federal Constitution as will secure larger specie
OASIS Tor the paper circulation Of the country, by
prohibiting the issue and circulation Of bank notes
and other paper currency, OF denominations SO low
as 10 prevent the circulation Of gold and silver in
me Ordinary transactions OF business, and in pay
ment OF the wages OF labor.
II may not be amiss to mention fact that
perhaps will strike many as little singular.
that the movement is not an original one, but
derived, perhaps, not knowingly, from men,
Der of the little squad Of Conservatives, who
we're SO much ridiculed by the friends Of the
administration. The records of the House
will show that, Oh the 10th of April, 1888,
MIR. JAMES GARLAND, Of Va, moved a SINH
lar resolution, which was laid on the table,
Il was as follows:
Resolued, That Select Committee of - MEM
bers be appointed to inquire into the expediency of
proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, prohibiting any State in Incorporating
banks, or other corporations from issuing and crcu-
laiing notes of the same or lower denomination
than the highest denomination of the coins Of the
United States.
Circumstances" it is said alter cases !"
and according to Mr.. Vanderpoel. they some
times alter principles. A movement by Con-
servative two years since, could not receive
the attention Of the friends of the Admins
tration. But, when experience is beginning
to convince them that the Conservatives were
no, 50 bad as they alleged, and when one of
their own leaders borrows plume from
Conservative, why, what was treason then,
becomes now the purest patriotism!

Charge IL. sCongress itself has pronounced
the incapacity Of General Harrison. When
a resolution was before the Senate of the
United States directing medals 10 be struck in
honor of General Harrison and Gov. Shelby,
a motion to strike out the name of General
Harrison was decided in the affirnative,-a
decision too unequivocal to be mistaken that
his services were not entitled to this mark of
appreciation from the Government. General
Harrison himself considered that by this act
he had been disgraced in the eyes Of the ma
ton, and in letter on the subject says, "A
vote of the Senate Of the United States has
attached to my name A DISGRACE which
am convinced that no time or no effort of
mine will be able to efface, and which will
cause the blush to rise upon the cheek Of my
children"
.ansicer. When and where did Gen. Har-
rison ever write, such a letter! But the best
answer is the resolution Of Congress itself,
which at once gives the lie to the imputation
intended. Here it is:
Resolution directing the medals to be struck, and To-
gether with the thanks Of Congress, presented to
