ENOCH CLOUD.
From Mr BHIiimOrr Puir;oi

.Mr. Eiiir.-'rhc facility with which
the Irroiocos can accommodate their
principles to the cxigcncics of the time is
truly astonishing. Could we rely upon
their reservations, put forth with all the
boldness and candor of truth, we should
be irrcsistlbly led to the conclusion that
they are exempt from the lraili,es com
mon to human nature, and had attained
that prrtec'ibiity which ancient philoso-
pliers were wont to believe would one
day distinguish the human character. But
unhapplly for these inialIible pol tcians.
at the present day, we are disposed to in
quire into facts before we extend a ..ycn-
crous conlldencc' to the assertions of art
full and cunning politicians.
Let us apply this test to the Loco Focos
with regard to the existing public debt of
Maryland. They now dsclaim all agcn-
cy in fastening this debt upon the State,
and charge the Wing party with being the
authors of the debt, and Wing legislation
as the cause Of the necessity of rcsorting
to direct taxation in order to maintain the
honor and integrity of our State. shall
not stop to inquire how far true policy
dictated the propriety of cmbarking in the
various schemes of internal improve
mcnts. which were from time to time sub
miitcd to the consideration of our State L.
gislaturc. 1t is enough to know it was
in accordance with public sentiment, fire.
quently and uneqnivocally expressed.
The question of internal improvements
was never regarded as "A party one; it was
Il question in which the future welfare of
our State was deeply involved, and was
sustained and opposed by the members of
both political parties of the State But, if
the policy wasa mistaken one; the sub
jcct was not sufficiently investigated be-
fore the State was burthencd with heavy
debt; if the Legislature abused its trusts,
and blindly embarked the State in schemes
which have proved Improbable, all we ask
is, that the responsibility should rest
were it properly belongs. If the people
have been wronged-if their grievances
cry aloud for redress, let them ascertain
first who is properly to blame, and not
he led off by the lvpocritical cant of de-
ccltlul politicians. The Loco Focos would
make us believe that they have uniformly
opposed the appropriation Of money to !
