4 Executive patronage does the President a.teo with
the wings or those on the other sid.l For myself
do think that, IN the Impressive words of MIR Dur
nins, the power OF the Executive has increased, is
Increasing, and oughtto be diminished" And then
on the one term principle, what are the Presidents
opinionsl Does not all tho world koow1 Has he
not put them in writing aud declared over and over
that no President ought to serve for moro than one
| termi Has he no. seen the effect of the opposite
practice in leading Chief Magistrate 20 to use his
power os TO secure his re election To otic,l And
then IN regard To the sub Treasury, what aro tho
Presidents opinions on that point Have gentle
mon On the other side made up their opinioni Is
there To be an accommodation on this pontl No,
SIR the hope OF 1t is viin The soil OF Virginia is too
pure to produce traito $. Small. indeed, is the
number OF those who have proved false 10 their prin
eires and to their party. l knew the father of the
President, Judge Tyler, OF the Gencral Court in

President never WILL disgrace himself, disgrace his
blood, disgrace his State, disgrace his country dis
grace his children, Ivy abandoning his party, and
joining with you. Never. never. lift were among
the possibilities OF human turpitude to pcrpctIato
an act like that, cannot conceive on what princ.
pie or for what reason the President could rush
upon deed SO airocious, aud deliver himself over
To MANY so indclble. Nor do know which
would slrpass IN basenesS, the man who could com.
mt Such an act OF treason, or the party who would
receive aud embrace and adopt one who had thus
d'sSraced himself No, gentlemen, no; never will
the President OF the United States bc guilty Of such
crime; and II he did commit il, the party has too
much regard for the opinions vi mankind ever TO 70
ceIve and reward him for the deed. Treason while
IN progress, Is indeed always agreeable to the party
or country 10 whose benefit II is 20 inur but when
II has been perpetratcd, what does history tell us

a great and unhappy difference of opinion between
him and his political friends; bat how can he Jy

kle IN the confidence that he is going to veto this
bill. do not myself think he will. Blu. even # /
ne does, still say It is moral impossibity that
union, as that between President who has be- /
isayed one party, and the other party directly OPP
posed TO him, who must have too much regard 10 I
heir character and the opinion OF mankind to receive
and embrace him, II II were possible that he could !
prove false and lithiess To his friends.

Senate OF saying word on tho present question; /
Dut there was species OF unauthorized eSultation

could not suffer TO pass. The gentleman has OK. |
