periodical sprees with his jovia companions members
of the Legislature like himself; things to be laughed
at when the headace and the consequences were past
These periodical sprees, he found, however, as he
grew older, came closer and closer together; at first
they were like CANCELS visits, few and far between
but the intervening time became shorter and shorter
yet had he felt overpowerng desire for strong
drink until the morning of the day which he had
signed the pledge lit then he felt that he mus,
conquer or die" Having finished this subject, he
then went into philosophical and scientific exami-
nation of the effects Of ntoxication and its cause IN
which he clearly demonstrated that alcohol, in all its
shapes and FORMS was most subtle poison, and re-
fused under all circumstances, TO incorporate with
the material that nature prepared for the sustenance
of the solids or fluids of which the body was com
posed. The whole discourse was adorned with APP
proprate anecdote and frequent flashes OF the Pures
wit and humor. In his appea! to all to come up and
sign the pledge he called upon those who prded them
selves upon their beauty, TO come up and sign and
the grotesque but tue picture he drew of the trans
formation of the human figure convused the audi
ence. He said it had the effect Of enlarging the
waist, and expanding the stomach, until men pre-
sented the appearance of hogshead resting pipe
in proportion the weight increased that they had to
carry. He gave a glowing description of the progress
of temperance in Kentucky, he gathered it from
his letters and remarked that had been thorough
in Lexington that but four moderate drinkers were
LETT in that large and beautiful city 1t IL impossible
give any thing like just abstract OF his remarks,
and the effect of his manner and oratoIy is indie
scrbabe.
When he had concluded, heavy rush was made to
the table to sign the pledges, which were prepared for
that purpose. While that good work was going on,
Mr. Mann, who had just signed, gave an able ard
feeling description of the effects of ntemperance, not
only on the miserable wretch who is the subject OF
the monster vice, but all connected with him.
The audience were then dismissed with benedlc-
ton by the Rev. Mr. Lipscomb, Pastor Of the Church.
About one hundred individuals signed the pledge
on that evening, and it is thought as many more
would have done so, if they could have made their
way through the crowd to the altar.

PARTY SPIRIT.

In Governments of monarchical cast, pa
triotism may look with indulgence, if not with
favor upon the spirit of party. But in those of
the popular character, in governments purely
elective, it is spirit not TO be encouraged
From their natural tendency, it is certain there
will always be enough Of that spirit for every sa-
lutary purpose, and there being constant danger
Of excess the effort ought to be by force Of pub
lie opinion to mitigate and assauge it, A fire
not to be quenched, it demands uniform
vigilance to prevent its bursting into a fame
lest instead of warming it should consumed
Such is the language Of Washington, with re-
spect to the spirit party but the spirit to which
he refers is that which divides the whole people
of the country into two antagonistic divisions,
posing candidates. An exuberance Of this spirit
of party he deprecates. A moderate indulgence of
it, he says will unquestionably always exist, and
he comedies that Its operation will be beneficial
The jealous watchfulness of minority will
tend to restrain the acts of dominant party
within the limits Of pure administration of the
government; it is the only check upon those
who hold the reins of power. 1t is the excess
siye indulgence of party spirit, which Wash
ngton condemns There is, however, another
species Of party spirit far more dangerous-a
spirit, the existence of which he foresaw, and
against which he reasons with more minuteness
and earnestness-that spirit of party we mean
which is sectional in its character, and infuses a
bitterness Of feeling, and establishes an oppos-
ton Of interests between one portion of the
Union and another The general spirit of party
ifcarred to excess, will result in most instances
only in temporary embarrassment of the ac-
ton ofthe General Governments it may paralyze
its energies for briefperiod but when the efler-
vescence subsidies, scarcely any evil consequences
remain beyond the memory of the storm. In
many cases no harm results-nay, good may
have been produced-and healthCu action re-
stored by the evaporation Of the hurtful par
ticles.
Butthe spirit of party which draws lines of
separation between different sections of the
Union, prognosticates, at all times disastrous
results. The Southern prejudice which incul-
Gates contempt Of the Yankee, as well as the
Northern horror Of Southern slavery, not only
produce feelings of temporary alienation between
the citizens of the North and of tn South, bu,
create jarring elements of perpetual duration,
whose repulslve properties tend ultimately to
disruption of the Union. Evidence is now given
of the fatal consequences Of nourishing prejudi-
ces between different parts of the same league
whose very existence depends on harmony Of
feeling and action between the two extremes
A single note of discord does not materially af.

feet the concert but continuation of dscor-
dant sounds is destructive of its existence.
This Union originated in a spirit of compro-
mlse-lts perpetuity of life is dependent ON the
same animating principle. Without this princl-
pie, its existence ceases at once. To maintain
doctrine, or TO foster feeling inconsistent
with the motives which created the Union, is
unworthy an American. And yet we see daily
efforts, most strenuous and indomitable, exerted
to encourage this party spiri-the only party spl-
rit which we need dread-to foster the spirit
which leads 10 disunion-to range one section OF
the country against the other.
The spirit of party, IN the usual sense OF the
term, is amere infant in comparison with thatspl-
rit which teaches the citizens of one section TO
assai the institutions existing in another. TO
the knowledge of the existence of this spirit we
wish the people to be awakened. The discus
sion now in progress, in the House of Represen-
tatives, must manifest its pernicious tendencies
Crush that spirit of party which threatens to
destroy the Union, and the country will escape
without many throes all the evils which two an
tagonist parties will be able to infc.

CONGRESS-.

Mr.. Fillmore inquired what was the business
in order, and was informed that il was the mo-
ton to lay the whole business rdscussion the
preceding day on the table. Mr.. F. said he would
deferputting the motion he contemplated, until he
ascertained the fate of the one pending A call
Of the House was ordered, and ITO members
answered to their names. Upon a call of the
absentees, it was found that POI were present.
A motion was made TO suspend all further pro-
ceedings on the call, which prevailed. The
ayes and noes were ordered. Some converse
ton arose between Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Mar
shall with respect to the withdrawal OF, the mo-
ton to lay on the table, and after some difficulty
it was Withdrawn, under pledge from Mr.. Mar
shall to renew it.
The latter then proceeded with the delivery
of long and elaborate speech in support of his
resolutions. But his first object, he said, was
10 extrcate them from the irrelevant matter
with which they had been involved; his second,
to comment on the remarks of Mr. Wise in their
defence. Mr. Wise explained that he had made
no speech in their favor; his speech was on the
question of printing he did not defend the reso-
lutions, and did not intend to vote for them
Mr. Marshall then made a summary of Mr..
Wise's speech, accompanied with some com
ments. He then proceeded to show that it was
not the intent of the resolutions to arraign MIR.
Adams for subornationof perjury or treason, but
to censure him for presenting memorial, the
execution of whose objects involve treason and
subornation of perjury The House could not
take peaceable measures for the dissolution of
the Union; they could not take any measures
for destroying the Constitution without per-
jury-and the memorial asked them to COM
nit perjury. The proposition now made goes
beyond the worst schemes of the Nullifers
They never said that Congress had the right to
dissolve the Union, nor that they had the tight
to do so. They insisted that they were battling
in defence of the Constitution; and only resist
ed the execution of an unconstitutional law.
In conclusion, Mr.. Marshall renewed the pledge
10 lay the whole business on the table. The
ayes and noes were again ordered, and the re-
suit was SO in the affirmative and 10 in the
negative. The motion to lay on the table being
lost, Mr.. Adams rose to deliver a reply to Mr..
Marshall. He still insisted that he was charged
with treason and subornation Of perjury, and
maintained that he ought, if so indicted, to have
trial by his peers.
In the Senate, Mr. Clay, in presenting peti
ton, made brief speech in favor Of the repea
Of the Bankrupt law as it now stands. Mr.
Benton finished his speech and the question
being taken, resulted in the repeal not passing
% voting for the repeal and 90 against it
Messrs. Archer, Bayard, Graham, Morehead
and Rives, went for it, and Messrs. Walker and
Williams againstlt. Messrs. Preston and Mou-
ton were absent. 1t is understood that the for
mer would have voted in the affirmative and the
latter in the negative.

From the U. S. Gazette.

r From the U. S. Gazette.
The Madisonian of yesterday holds the following
very remarkable language
THERE MUST BE AN ADMINISTRATION PARTY OF
SUFFICIENT POWER TO CARRY THE MEASURES OF
THE HEAD OF THE ADMINISTRATIONS, else the country
must suffer"
The Gazette quotes us tairly-we said it, and
we intend to maintain it. If politicians affect
to be Mortified at the thought, of President
rallying to his support party Composed of free,
upright citizens who approve his course
whether Wings, Democrats or Republicans, or
composed Of all parties, we are bold to confess
that we shall labor to increase their horror We
shall not disguise our intention, " and if this be
treason let them make the most Of it," II it is
criminal in the President to enlist the support of
his colntrymen in the great work Of carrying
out the principles of the Governmental pre-
serving the Constitution-then let the people
punish him. The people are his jury, and their
verdict will decide the matter. But they will
give him fair trial.
The Administration party must be unit
and all know that President Tyler is not a
man to shrink from responsibility. He has been
tried, and was not found wanting. If doubt,
niStrust and double Observation-Disclosures for purely
personal advanage-pervade the ranks of an
Administration party, truly "the country must
suffer-" and not only the country, but the head
of the Administration will be constantly ar
ragned for the acts of others, of which he neither
had any knowledge nor approved himself
Hence the necessity of an Administration party
entertaining the same views and pursuing the
same policy protested by the President And
hence the necessity of having President pos
sessed of wisdom to direct, and irmness and
resolution to have his directions promptly exc
cutcd, and his wishes complied with. He is
responsible for erery act OF his Administration,
and therefore, as the constitutional head of the
nation, these acts should be purely his own
else there is no responsibility
In acting as becomes a President, the head
of the Administration is always charged with
bodness, nay, sometimes he is called "ty-
rant" by his enemies Those who would entce
him by deceptive smiles and persuasive pro-
misses to his ruin, become alarmed. This is
always the case. Their plans for their own
elevation, are frustrated. They fear the people
They know that the people love fearless, in
domitabe patriot They know the people ad-
mlre the courage Of President as much as that
of general, when manifested in behalf of the
people. They know that if President is reso-
lutte and unyielding, in the exercise Of his duties
that the people will repose confidence in him
that they will look to him in the hour of danger
for deliverance-and finally reward his noble ex-
ertions. President Tyler gained hundred thou
sand friends by his vetoes
And is it so very surprising that there should
be an Administration party? President Tyler
is the very man to hare a party--his enemies

and false friends may sheer now, but in less
than two years his true friends will embrace
two-thirds Of the voters of America The abuse
the ultra party presses heaped ON him, will
turn to his advantage When man is wrong,
censure may be elfective-but when he is right,
wo be to those that prosecute him
