We do mol profess 10 doubt that devotion
and admiration exist x present; for The

iraii.-in Mr.. llenry's character, j. self

Chair, upon which he has lorg had his
eve fixed. But all men here know that
he has not drop Of Democratic blood IN
ms veins, not a particle Of Democratic
feeling in his politics or his habits. ilr
was an old Tederalist-a Federalist 0f the
anli.war stamp; an opponent Of The Al.

boyhood, but until since the Democracy.

became all powerful. Then and not IN.

lilies Of his youth and his manhood. Tic
prolesses now to think, that " should the
principles OF liberty which sustain this

The ramparis Of the States" Aud vet,
only eight or ten years ago, when those
principles were thus assailed hy Gen.
Jackson, did he take refuge within the
ramparis of the Slatest No: with bul.
lyism Of manner, which. whatever may
have been thought &c il ii the time. calm
reflection cannot but condemn. he told
the half dozen Nullifers in our Legisla.

then a Federalisi; he is nor Democrat,
'' dyed in the wool"
In our next. we promise TO say a few
words respecting Mr.. Henry's history Of
the United States Bank and Of the distress
and embarrassment of The country.
