The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1842-01-01

Administration is so extravaganza Should
he (Mr. ARNoLD) sit by and hear these
things, and not contradict theme and not
let the country know the truth2 He
would not do it. The country should
know the length, breodth, and heighth of
Tvler's wickedness. He had nothing to
ask of him. We had asked to have
modern Locofoco, who just before the
close Of Mr.. Van Buren's administration
whipped about and became Van Buren,
man, removed from Office and man much
more competent, whom every Wing mem
Der from the State recommended, to be
appointed in his stead, but John Tyler
and his Secretary of State. between them,
had kept in office the former incumbent
against the unanimous recommendation
of every Wing member from Tennessee.
lie said to the gentleman from New
Hampshire, if this great revolution had ia
ken place Of which he speaks, if it proved
any thing on the face of the earth, it pro-
we'd that the people just wanted to gel lid
f OF Van Buren,; and as soon as that was
done, they were willing TO accept of Ty-
iei, VI any LoeoioCo. Dut tIdb was HOt
the case.
If these Locofocc principles were to be
carried out, Van Buren, might as well
have done it as any one; and sJle should
infinitely have preferred this 10 its being
done by Tyler. When a gentleman
''plches and cooes," Ito use homely
, phrase,) as the gentleman from New
Hampshire had done to-day, he ought to
!, remember that all his efforts fall on the
devoted head of Van Buren,. What re-
volution! That the American People
should put the Wing party into power,
and then return back to democracy with
, out trying one solitary Wing measure!
f 1t was not so. If he could believe so, he
would feel as modern Democracy did last
fall. When the reports of Harrison's sue
cess came in, several leading democrats
said to him, swell, Arnold, our party has
abused Hamilton very much because he
said the people were not capable of self
government" When the thunders of the
artillery were heard in the East, West,
North, and South-when they saw the
triumph of William Henry Harrison, the
Democracy sat very calmly, as the Wings
were now represented by the Globe, COM
pletely chap fallen, and said, "Y GU have
abused old Hamilton wrongfully; he said
the American People were not capable Ct
selt-government, and now we are convin-
ced of the truth of it," Now, he acknowl-
edged if there was a revolution-if, on
account of the one-hour rule, or the mode
of taking bills out of committee, the A
merican People had performed this great
revolution against the Wing party, and
the modern Democracy in, that the Amer
lean People were incapable of self-govern-
ment. 1t was inconsistent with common
sense. Why had not "petticoat Allen"
with twenty-five thousand votes against
him in Ohio, resigned his seal?-Did the
Senators from Ohio regard the voice of
the American People, No. Did the mod
ern Democracy regard the popular vote?
No; they set it at defiance. So it was in
Ohio. How was it in Connecticut, Ma
jority after majority had gone against the
Connecticut Senator. Did he resign2 He
called on men to act up to their proles-
sions. Had MIR. Smith of Connecticut,
resgned2 No. How was it with Will
liams, Of Maine? He held on the Treasu-
ry tie at dixie young opossum." QHe
wished this homely smile to be excused
for it was just suited to the subject) How
was it with Mouton from louisiana
The Speaker here called Mr.. A. to order
Mr.. Weller hoped the gentleman would
not be interrupted now, but permitted to
proceed, and that others might reply.
Mr.. Arnold wanted gentleman on the
other side to contradict him if he was not
telling the truth; if it was truth, the coun-
try ought to know it; but he would not
pursue his course of remark of the Speak
err considered it out Of order.
The Speaker said it was not in order to
speak of Senators by their names.
Mr.. Arnold said he did not know that
those he had spoken of were in the Sem
ate now, they might have resigned-they
ought to have done so, at least. How
was 1t in Tennessee He here referred
to the Inconsistencies Of the ''modern De-
mocracy" in that State. That was his
great objection to modern Democracy;
they went for the party, and not for the
country. They never had, and never
would present the glorious, the sublime
spectacle of Harrison's cabinet. He look
ed at them as bright, glorious, sun
ny light to this nation; they were found
ready and willing, for the sake of their
country, to lay down their Offices rich
offices too-ata salary of $4,000 per year.
They laid them down on the altar of their
country turned their backs on them and
"CaptainlTyler, too" they were appoint
by General Harrison, and would not be
responsible for your modern Locofoco
doctrines. 1t was the sublmest specta-
Gle that America had ever seen, and what
