the People of the entire country crying out
to us for bank-with the people through
out the whole valley of the Mississippi ris.
indispensable to their well-being, and point
ing to their losses, their sacrifices, and their
suferings for the want of such an in stitu-
tion---in such a state of things, we are grave
y and coldly told by the honoranle Sena-
tor from Virginia that we had best go home,
leaving the purse and the sword in the un.
controlled possession of the President, and,
above all things, never to make party
bank! Why, sir, does he, with all his knowl-
edge of the conflicting opinions which pre-
vail here, and have prevailed, believe that
we ever can make bank but by the votes
of one party who are in favor of it, in OPP
position to the votes of another party
against it! l deprecate this expression of
opinion from that gentleman the more, be-
cause, although the honorable Senator pro-
fesses not to know the opinions of the Pres
ident, it certainly does turn out in the Sc
quel that there is most remarkable coin
cidence between those opinions and his
own; and he has, on the present occasion,
defended the motives and the course of the
President with all the solicitude and all the
fervent zeal of member of his PRIV
Council. A laugh There is rumor
abroad that cabal exists-a new sort of
Kitchen Cabinet--whose object is the dis
solution of the regular Cabinet-the dissolu-
ton of the Wing party--the dispersion of
Congress, without accomplishing any of the
great purposes of the extra session--and
total change, in fact. in the whole face of our
political affairs. l hope, and | persuade
myself, that the honorable Senator is not,
cannot be, one of the component members
of such cabal; but l must say that there
has been displayed by the honorable Sena-
tor to-day predisposition, astonishing and
inexplicable, to misconceive almost all of
what have said, and perseverance, after
repeated corrections in Misunderstanding
for l will not charge him with wilfully and
intentionally epresenting-the whole
spirit and character of the address which,
as a man of honor and as Senator, l felt
myself bound in duty to make to this body
The Senator begins with saying that |

l use any such language? Iappeal to every
gentleman who heard me to say whether |
have in single instance gone beyond fair
and legitimate examination of the Execu-
tive objections to the bill. Yet he has char
ged me with "arraigning" the President
with indicting him in various counts, and
with imputing to him motives such as new

over, my personal respect and regard for
President Tyler, for whom have cherish
ed an intimate personal friendship of twenty
years standing, and while exp ressly said
that if that friendship should now be inter-
rupted, it should not be my fault! Why
sir, what possible, what conceivable motive
can have to quarrel with the President
or to break up the Wing party? What
earthly motive can impel me to wish for
any other result than that that party shall
remain in perfect harmony, undivided, and
shall move undismayed, boldly, and united

important public objects which it has avow.
ed to be its aim? What imaginable interest
or feeling can have other than the success
the triumph, the glory of the Wing party?
But that there may be designs and purposes
on the part of certain other individuals
to place me in inimical relations with the
President, and represent me as personally
opposed to him, can well imagine-in-
dividuals who are beating up for recruits
and endeavoring to form third party with
materials so scanty as to be wholly INSULT
cient to compose decent corporaPs guard.
/ fear there are such individuals, though
do not charge the Senator himself as being
one of them. What spectacle has been
presented to this nation during this entire
session of Congress! That of the cherish
ed and confident friends of John Tyler,
persons who boast and claim to be, par er-
cellence, his exclusive and genuine friends,
being the bitter, systematic, determined, I'M
compromising opponents of every leading
measure of John Tyler's Administrations
Was there ever before such an example
presented, in this or any other age in this
or any other country? Ihave myself known
the President too long, and cherish toward
him too sincere friendship, to allow my
feelings to be affected or alienated by any
thing which has passed here to-day. If the
Presidant chooses-which am sure he can
not, unless falsehood be whispered into his
ears or poison poured into his heart-tc
detatch himself from me, shall deeply re,
greet it, for the sake of our common friend
ship and our common country. Inow re-
peat, what l before said, that, of all the
measures of relief which the American PEG
pie have called upon US for, that of Ma

nately demanded. The Senator says thai
the question of Bank was not the issue
