oE inc wings, ana THIS large class oI
men were relieved their energies
we're restored. This bill was Wing
measure altogether-and it was advo-
Gated and passed because il was in &C.
cordance with the provisions OF the Con-
sl''ullon, and demanded by the prInci.
pies OF humanity, justice and policy
by this measure 100000 men were born
IN day, and restored to their former
usefuIness-and one living man was bet,
ter than a valley Of dry bones. Their
families, too, felt the beneficial effects
oil this measure, and comfort was resto
red to two millions Of our people!
lie next spoke of the action Of the
Wings for the relief of the respective
States. They did all that was in the
power of Congress to do. They passed
law emitting every State to just and
equitable share Of the proceeds from The
sales of public lands. The proceeds OF
these lands. as a revenue, had heen ra-
plIly melting away, owing to various
causes, such as the graduation bill pre-.
emptIon laws The increasing strength
ot the west, and the arts Of intriguing
demegogues, These lands compre hem
ding immense valuable tracts, were ev-
cry day racedine farther from the
grasp of the General Government
But the bill recently passed tends TO pre-
serve them Itte longer, for the bene-
fit OF the whole country and would
also tend to releve some of the West
ern and middle States, which were
borne 10 the earth by the weight Of their
debts, Incurred through spirit of en-
Ierprise, which was the characteristic of
our countrymen-- and also by carrying
into effect, systems OF internal improve
ments on a gigantic scale.
Among other curious egacies left to
It's successors by the late Administration,
was public debt of great amount. finn
silly concealed beneath heap of Treas
ury Hotes-and diminished revenue un.
equal TO the wants Of he country. The
Loan Bill aud the duty bill were accor.
dinghy prepared to remedy, for the pre-
SENT at least, these evils. With regard
TO protection for American Industry, he
would say that our mechanics and man.
u(acturers must look to the Wings and
the Wings alone. Enough had been
seen, in the course ofthe extra session 10
prove that. 1t was by Wing policy
only, that any branch Of native industry
could be protected by a Tariff, New
Hampshire, Missouri and South Caro-.
lima would not take care Of US; neither
would the locofocos OF Massachusetts
He had read the late address of that
party y-and the sentiments which il a.
vowed seemed TO be written by \ most
unflial hand, striking at the very root
OF life. If its principles should be car
rled into operation, we should soon see
the American lrigate Constitution, per.
haps, riding in our harbor by an Eng.
lish cable, and an English anchor-and
even the ba'Iiards, by which the stars &.
stripes would be hoisled at her peak.
would baplv be Of Russian manu(ac-
ture.
Among the great measures Of refor
nation, one was effected by the Wings,
which was in accordance with the pub
lic will, as expressed in every part OF
The Union, The Wings in Congress
p!ucked up by the roots, that great Bo
han Upae, the Sub.Treasury, that favor.
ite measure Of MIR. Van Buren,, BY which
the national funds were 10 be locked up
and hidden from view-that measure
which was to separate the Government
from the people, and which was so we'll
} calculated to enrich the office holders
and impoverish the lsboring men. The
= Wings had demolished the entire fab
! rlc; they had also cleared away the
rubbish, but had not altogether succeed
ed in erecting a second Temple. They
5 had not yet been able to agree upon the
, principles Of an institution to take the
J place OF the Sub-treasury. The Whig.
\ OF Congress came from different sec.
llons of the Union, where differen
views were entertained Of Na,iona
t Bank-and because they could not apre,
b. upon more than 90 hundredths Of III,
$ measures proposed for the relief of tn,
: counlry-because they could not al
t 'hInk alike on one measure-a meas
c ure on which the Wing party had al
r ways been dvided-orr political oppo
nentfs had set up q saout of triumph
r and declared that we we're ruined an,
t, undone! and some few of the fcint. hear
e ted and tfeacherous members of ou

Mr. Choate said that he should no
dwell on the unwelcome subject Of dis
0 sen'lon in the Wing ranks; he shout
cave that task to his political oppo
nents. But he spoke of the rolly q
abandoning principles, and deserving
