ringer was conclusive and satisfactory
( showed the liberal views of the Statesman
and gentleman. He urged upon the can
did and patriotic of all parties, the neces
sity Of giyia3 the Administration fail
and impartial trial, before condemnation
The necessity Of National Bank he ex
hibi,sd IN its true colors, and stripped the
question Of the mass Of sophis,ry thrown
around it by the designing. The evils Of
the Sub Treasury he illustrated clearly
and fo.cibly; and held up to the public
view, the pernicions consequences that re-
suit from lis operation.
His opponent, Mr.. Caldwell, by his usu-
al cayilins nd sophislry, attempted TO lead
the people from the point, and endeayored
by various assertions to prove that Gen.
iiarrison's Cabinet was composed of Fed
erdlists-this lac said was sufficient to pre-.
vent the support Of the people; but while
he was denouncing Gen. Harrison for ap.
pointing Federaiists to office, he did not
inform the good citizens Of this region,
that Gen. jackson wrote letter TO James
Monroe advising him to appoint as Cabl-
net Officers, two Federalists and two Re.
publicans. While speaking on this subject,
Daniel Webster came in for large share
Of bis democratic indignation; and by way
of poser he read from an old volume the
names of Webster, Rufus King and seve.
raj Others but he forgot to tell his demo-
cratic brethren that Martin Van Buren,, the
idol Of his party, supported this same Ru,
fls King, after acting in concert with the
devoted Webster, for United States Sena-
tor, at a time when the Foundation Of the
Republic was shaken to its centre by the
famous Missouri Question" lie was
particularly careful not to enlightcn their
political vision, by cxhibiting the part which
Mr.. Van Buren, took in the resolutions of
instructions, passed by the Legislature of
New York, against the admission of Mis-
souri, into Inc Union as a slave State. No,
no, on this subject he was as quiet as a
/" sucking dove"
la the course Of his speech, he said it
was necessary for him to go back TO the
origin Of the two parties, to show the po-
sition which they now sustained TO each
other; and gong back, he stated that A.
lexander Hamilton was the father Of the
federalists; and that John Adams passed the
old "alien and sedition law; = nc also fur
Their displayed his historical knowledge, by
stating that there was Hartford Conven-
ton; and in addition, he stoutIy maintain
ed that the Fcderaists were opposed to the
last war, but ah, memory sad evidences
have we of thy treachery he forgot 10
state for the information of posterity that
the FcderaIs,s opposed the creation of a
National Bank. He did not even say that
Daniel Webster opposed the charter of the
United States Bank
The !" Virginia Resolutions" he harped
upon as a theme no; to be exhausted. He
was SO kind as TO declare that Mr.. Madl-
son took an active and conspicuous part in
their passage, and consequently, opposed
National Bank. Now we would sup
pose, tina, Mr.. Madison in 1916, after more
years OF reflection aud experience, knew
as much about the Constitution and its
powers, and certainly as much about the
dangerous tendency of Bank as he did IN
1 as. Generally in this world, the older
and more experienced man becomes the
wiser he grows; but this received truth
| Mr.. Caldwell controyerts, for he maintains
that Mr.. Madison was a wiser man IN '9S
than in lSl6
But after all, he must bring in the ole
" Hero" by way of foil; which he die
most pathetcally. when, said he, Gen
jackson was fighting the battles OF the
country, and protecting your wives anC
children from the murderous tomahawk
and the bloody scalping knife of the say
age, they call him tory This feeling ap
peal, was almost equal TO the lawyers ad
