bes, speeches, which have been delivered
on the Wise aud Adams business. Ii is
pointed, good hnmoured and sensible
The following hits are admirable. The
fact that Messrs. Adams and Wise are
both Tyler Men in no degree detracts
from the humuur of the thing--and that
two Members of the b" Squad should thus
Willy each other, is not calculated to give
the world high opinion of that precious
little fraternity,
Mr.. ARNOLD said
He would notice some very extraordin-
airy points of coincidence between the aged
and venerable gentleman from Massachu-
sets and the young gentleman from Vir-
ginia Mr.. WI The young gentleman
had charged Mr. Adams with being a
Federalist, and descendant Of the FEEDER
al aris,ocracy and then made a great
flourish about his own descent from the old
Federalists of Virginia, and Of bis family
being associated with the Marshalls.-
Nay, he had not relative, living or dead,
on the ground or under il, who was not a
Federalist; and be did no, intend to hear
them abused here. Here, then, were a
couple Of Federalists, whose apparent ecu.
flict so completely tended one way, that u
bystander might suppose il sham fight
that they were, in reality, kitb and kin,
and allies, leagued together to help up the
cause of abolition.
Hero some explanations passed, IN
which Mr.. Wise douied his having ever
admitted that he was or ever had been
himself a Federalist.
Mr.. A. admitted this, but his family
were T; and what was bred IN the bone was
hard to got out Of the flesh. A laugh.
All his fathers had lived aud died FEEDER.
alists he, alone, was Democrat. -
That circumstance. alcne, was enough to
subject him TO suspicion. lie and the
gertleman from Massachusetts very often
voted together on national questions; and
he believed they were both what were
called Tyler Wings" aud supporters Of
the present Administration. Mr.. A. IN.
derstood such to be the sentiments of the
gentleman from Massachusetts, and that
he was opposed to restricting the Veto, Us
proposed by distinguished Senator IN the
other House.
Tho gentleman from Virginia was a
Tyler Wing, OF course Bur Mr.. A. mus,
say he thought that he had observed Of
late tina. the gentleman was shifting his
sails little. Probably he perceived that
Captain Tyler was likely to get nothing
more than corporafs guard, and that al
the same time he noticed with satisfaction,
the very loving attachment and loyalty
manifested toward himself by that modern
Z" Democracy which nobody living had
so excoriated for years as that very gen.
,leman. Oh, il any thing was calculated
10 I'LL mans soul With disgust, 1t was to
see these men, on whom he had once
heaped the most yiiuperatiye epIthets that
the language afforded, now consulting him
on all occasions, ard ready to fawn and
lick his very feet But a whipped eur
was ever the most lawning dog.
According TO appearance, Mr.. A rather
suspected that :" Captain Tyler 2" would be.
fore very long be lel even without as
much as the oorporal's guard which now
adhered to him. The country, il would
seem, YVES to be divided between a great
Wing party or the one hand, and on the
other the old Locoioco party headed BY
the gentleman from Virginia. A laugh
Coming events were said To cast their
shadows before; and i, seemed likely that
the redoubtable Captain Tyler, in atiemp.
ting to SIT upon two stools, would como fiat
on the ground fate he well deserved
as every traitor did.
Such being the condolences between
these two brother FederaIis,s, Mr. A.
thought that they ou-h, TO make up end
meet as friends. Indeed they seemed
made for each other, they were so nearly
alike 10 their tempers and passions. Both
were of the genuine Federal stockholm

protested to be opposed TO aboli,ion-and
they were, pro temporo at least, both sup.
porters Of the present Administration
Clearly, then, they ought to shake hands.
They we're both ruling spirits Of disorgan.
ization and confusion in this House /; aad
they were, IN this respect, such complete
match, that Mr.. a. had more than osce
remarked that If they were pu. in a bag
together, and well shaken, he did not
know which would fall out first. Laugh
