standard which The genllensn proposes
Tor our guidance, should be sdop,ed. then
neither The county which he represents.
nor that ol Orange. would have been en-.
il,led 10 the places recently filed. When
sll The voles from Orange eastward we're
counted. we were in . minority. Yes.
cir, in all that section OF the slale, ~ a
party. we we're beaten. But how did
The Wing returns come from The Wesll
They cane down like The cataract from
the Iaonni,in; they came like the waves
Of The ocean when the storms ride on
them. But they were impelled by no
calculsiions Of sslf.interesL We never
thought for moment Of wbal offices and
emolumenls would fall 10 our section.
Sir. We may have been mistaken, our in.
leilsc.s may have been dsluded and led
.s,rsy, but no party was ever impelled
BY more generous impulses. Than those
which moved the great body Of the
whigs every where. The spiri. Of re
itself was no, purer than that which ami
mated them. We believed that The cha.
rscler Of our government was rapidly
changing, that our constitution was about
TO be destroyed, and our liberties lost,
and we came into The struggle for their
preservation, with the same high feelings
that animated our ancestors on the battle
fields Of The resolution. II we succeed
ed, if We won the victory and made .
wise use of il, then we knew that We, and
those who are 10 come after 10, would be
thousand times repaid for our exer.ions,
But during this great struggle, Il seems
thai the gentleman wac thinking how
much booty would be won, how many
scslps would fall 10 his own share! i
he was sc,us,ed mainly by selfish ronsi
deralions Of this sort, aud il now dissp
pointed in the distribution Of the spoils
he quits US for that reason, then as l
Wing, l am happy 10 bid the senator
good morning.
Perhaps, however, il has all happened
for the best. We Wings have been more
fortunate than Mr.. Tszewell. He SAIL
that Mr.. Van Buren, had deceived him
once. lf the gentleman ever had such
an intention, he did not succeed in deeeiv
ing the whig party once. He also CON
plains, sir, that the caucus refused Il
make the opening Of Mays Head par
Of the Wing creed. When The resolution
was offered, | for one being favorable Il
The work, and thinking /. could do M
harm, was inclined TO 60 for il, aud 81
,sld some Of my friends. They rePlies
that il would be a most ridiculous pro
