Well sir, IL Harrison was, as the gentleman truly
says, benevolent, kind-heared, patriotic brave,
cere should we not remember that John Tyler shared
his personal esteeml Are quite To- forget that
MIR. Arnold here interposed to explain, declaring
That no man once entertained kinder feelings toward
Mr. Tyler than he that filled his bosom with
'erable pain to change bis opinion of him, but most
certain he was that if his venerable and beloved
friend, VIM III: Harrison, (for he was long his per
sonal and intimate friendly had lived to witness what
had recently taken place his feelings would have un
dergone like change with MIR. AS, and he would
have done just the same

Mr.. Arnold. II comes from friend Of his coun-

Mr.. Gentry here reminded Mr.. Stanly that Mr.

well, u he Is no party man, then he cannot belong
to the Wing party. This is good logic How he
can be no party man, and yet of the Wing party is
an abstraction too refined for me. Does the gentle
man remember who were delegates TO the Harrisburg
Conventioni One Of them is now before me- and
see some round me who received the Harrisburg no
minaion with joy, who fighting with all
their strength against Il; while others who denounced
II with adherence, become its chief
and defenders. Does the gentleman from Tennessee
remember that John Tyler went TO that Convention

do not myself know how or where the President diff.

to message he Inimates that he can sign bank for
deposit and exchange and why denounce him in adj
vance, when he appears willing far he do it
without sacrifice of principle sacrifice his perso-
nal preudces to the public wish and general prospect
tyl Yet he must be denounced in the most unmea-
sured terms have heard much more said against
him than has now fallen from the gentleman from
Tennessee, and heard il with many pangs of heart
Mr.. D. said he would not sludc to the course or the
language of the gentleman fiom Virginia (Mr Wise)
whose course had always been erratc though his
Tents commanded respect That gentleman was no
Wing And he would say TO that gentleman that the
army he sought to rally, and at the head of which he
seemed DESTROYS TO place himself altogether too
pnny to do the Wing party Of this country any harm
nat gentleman might as well shoot arrows at the
sun as attempt by such assaants to impair the Wing
strength.
And what had been the course of others4 On.
had said that he would rather die in the Wing
ranks than live with the Locofocos." Yet that same
gentleman who would greatly prefer diving with
the Wings, had made speech here for the very pur
pose, as II would seem, OF blowing up the flames of
discord, which should destroy if possible the Wing
party and all its hopes. MIR. S. said he never in his
life heard such ungracous unsparing attack from
one who was ready To die FIR his political friends. DIV
ing, said Mr.. 81 is terrible thing although we must
all come TO it.
" To die, and 90 we know not where;
To lie in cold obstruction and to rot
This sensible warm motion TO become
kneaded clod and the delighted spirit
To battle in fiery foods, or to reside
In thrilling regions ofihick- ribbed ice
To he imprisoned in the viewess Winds
And blown with restless violence about
!, The pendant world"
Yet would rather endure all that-(could indeed
have fortiiude 10 endure such things)-than live with
the Locofocos no but than live and be Wing,
anu yet endeavor by an unceasing, never sleeping
never-tlrlng effort to separate great and patriotic
party to which | had looked myself and persuaded all
others TO look for the only prospect of my countrys
happiness The gentleman says he has been denounc-
ed But 1t, because we attacked in some petty
newspaper-because our name gets into Mrs. Royals
paper-though that is very good paper, and am far
from meaning to say any thing against it a laugh
we are to fly of at tangent the gentleman has
done, why we shall all very be al loggerheads
have heard no denuncia,ion Of the gentleman; but
when mans mind is in that excited jealous, sens.
tive state, that il seeks denunciaon II is never
loss to find it, My friend from Indiana (Mr Proffit)
has admit done excellent service to the cause in his
own State; he has worked hard, (though if he ever
sat up all night with me, ranking documents GER
tainfy not Of his presence if we ever frank
ed for fifteen minutes together in his life, | do
know of II j he could frank desperately for Tip
pecanoe; and when he fought, could fight harder thar
most any man ever saw; but he nnprudent in
his zeal as my friend from Virginia me- (Mr
Bous,) who writes a letter which caba here, by
some base means, got hold of and endeavored TO use
aprvae ietteras evidence that the whole w hig par
~ hold the same sentiments as the writer Of IT, The
charge is false as hell | know the gentleman from
Virginia needs defender be is able to manage his
cause. He is ardent and some W hat tempest uous
sometimes, and could wish he had little more of
the Wing mdness and gentleness.
Mr.. Arnold " Yours, | suppose"
Yes, our mine, and of the W hgs generally. IA
laugh II the gentleman chooses to write such let
ter that's his owl business.
Mr.. Bolts By what right does the gentleman
from North Carolina denounce my imprudence in
writing letter. if the letter is, he says private
do not denounPe =. t1Bo 6ant of the views of the
s1ig;.'
Ii the gentleman from Virginia wants me to- | will
denounce the letter and repeat what said, that
| have not heard single Wing speak of it that did
not disapprove OF it's spirit and tone
have not much to say further | have looked
with surprise at gentlemen who have spoken of the
President in terms of contempt and who seem DIS
posed to enlist themselves, without cause, in a de-
sign to scatter disafiection and the seed Of dis
cord among the Wing party. regret II from The
bottom of my heart Instead of pursuing suicidal
course let rather in broad and patriotic spirit,
unite ourselves band of brethren. | am ready TO
fight under President Tyler, any other Wing Pre-
stdent, for our common Wing principles. ask no
favor from any President. Whenever he departs
from Wing principles, am ready TO quarrel in that
cause. And If 50 great calamity, is in The wrath
Of Heaven, to fall upon our country, am ready to
draw the sword and throw away the scabbard As
things are, know no distinction, will know none,
between "Tippecanoc" and tyler too" We ale
all of one party. As one party, we achieved at the
last election the greatest most brilliant most deer
ded, most triumphant victory which the annals of this
country can show. We achieved it by union. de
