that a man whose ideas are Of so ramb-

One word now TO these wielders Of the
wisdom Of Orange, upon the subject Of
want of union on the part Of the Wings,
which, SAYS The preamble, existed 10 such
a degree that they could only be brought
together on one point, and that was OPP

parties, differing entirely in interest, feel

men probably never imagined that such
deduction would be drawn, but i is SO

One more topic and I am done. Il is
with sentiments Of disgust and commisse-

speak Of the resolution condemning the
appropriation 10 Mrs. Harlison--an APP
preparation which few were found har-
dened aud soulless enough in Congress 10
oppose, but which our wise men Of Or
ange have boldly denounced. This lisa
subject, fellow citizens, upon which we
all can feel, one that finds ready OPEN
ing to every noble and manly heart. The
question. arising from it is simple one.
Is the laborer worthy of his hire! Does
the soldier and servant Of freedom deserve
TO be remembered when he is gone, and
TO have those whom in life he loved and
cherished, sheltered and protected for his
sake! How will you answer this! Me-
thinks hear each and every one Of you,
with flashing eye and swelling bosom, ex-
claim, Protect the old mans hearth! Build
around it a wall Of comfort so high, that
care or want may never come near it.
Let the world see that all Republics are
moi ungra,eful; that we honor those who
confer honor upon us, and we will guard
and protect with filial affection those they
leave behind when they lay themselves
down 10 rest from their labours in our be-
