New-York daily tribune., 1842-09-06

sometimes, and sometimes he docs not. NO, the
gentleman was wrong in his reckoning.
He has only taken away three; We can well
spare them, and we have vet many more as this
assembly here testi6es.
Nh S briefly alluded TO the Distribuiisn policy,
and commented in eloquen, terms on the patriot
ism of the Wings and their sincere devotion to the
best interests of the country, after they had been
compelled TO Weld this for Tbs, present. in yet con-
,inuing their srduouS and untiring labors for the
passage of Tariff bill, for which the sboring in
terests of PENNSYLVANIA and New York and the
whole country looked to them as a measure of
relief. We did not take the Van Buren, principle,
that the people looked to the Government for too
muck. We said TO Tyler, take The Distribution,
but for Gods sake let the aborng men livs by the
protection of the Government.
Too much credit, as have before said, has been
given to nae for voting for this bill. 1t is true,
represent constituency who have prejudices
against Tarif-but what OF thar What is g
feeble man WORTH Why are education and reason
given us, if not to overcome and meet prejudiccs?
The people of North Carolina have mere patriotism
than prejudice; they did not send ME there merely
to protect the interests of one district or one State
they there taught revere the consti-
tuition of the United States and the whole Union.
L L
them, which expect to soon, that my vote was
given in love TO the Union-to tell them that | sat
there side by side with the Representatives from
Massachusetts, and that glorious old cradle of
Liberty, Boston, and the honored Representative
froR, Indiana, Mr.. THoMPsoN.) The noble gen.
tleman from Kentucky MIR. L. w. ANDREWS was
there, and stepped forward to save the bill. We
united with the Representatives from New York.
and from New Jersey, whose broad seal had been
rejected, but whose Representatives now stood
struggling for their constituents. | shall tell my
constituents that my vote was given for the de.
scendants of Adams and Hancsck-for those that
live on the soil of Massachusetts, almost every
inch of whichis freedom, home or glory grave.
know the people of North CaIolina-my constit-
uents will tell me that did right; if they do not,
] know did. 1t will be satisfaction 10 me that
the people of Pennsylvania, by hundreds and
taousands-and of New York; here, suppose by
four or five acres, by little spreading out-haye
told me that it was right. Cheers. I shall al
ways thank Heaven that my life was spared-that
by the generosity of nay constituents, perhaps IN
deserved, | was thrown into Congress- and had
the opportunity OF giving my vote to benefit the
laboring men of my own sister States of this
Union.
The Whig party have achieved glorious tri-
umph in passing this bill but rest not on your
oars think not this permanent, that this will last
for ever. No. we have yet but begun the work,
we have passed bill against The most formidable
opposition, and which Silas Wright and James
Buchanan have pledged shall be cut down two
years hence. Remember, therefore, that unless
you give your votes for Wing men, if you trust in
Loco ocoism, down will go that tariff and up
will come horizontal Loco Foce, Calhoun tariff,
if they get into power.
Nr. Morehead has told you that we left our OPP
poneats divided; we did. proudly brought that
forward in the House of Representatives and it
was not denied. After the bill was vetoed what
sort of a tariff did they propose for you by their
caucus Calhoun, Benton, and | think Wright,
and some others in their caucus, instead of giving
you the tariff bill we have given you, proposed
the tariff of l840 under the Compromise Act, and
that limited to two years, and denounced this Ia
riff as another most contemplate humbug, and
they separated cursiag each other most bitterly
and they have gone home, those from Penn
sylvania in favor of tariff and the Southern
Loco-Focos reading them out Of church, and
they, with all the face even Of their party,
will not trust be able to come together again.
We have in perfect shout-we have
had perfect revival all the way from Wash
more thoroughly united than ever and convinced
that it will never do to take any other man for
President than HENRY CLAY of Kentucky (Deaf-
enlng applause). 1t is due to that illustrious
statesman to say, that as far as any service Of
mine has been of benefit to this country owe it
all to that llustrious Statesman. I never received
ono notion of political character dear to the Amer
ican people that did not get from the speeches
or the conversation of HENRY CLAY, who has
always carried about with him the interests Of
the whole country, who has stood with US in the
darkest hours of our af;liction-darker than
those Just passed over us and always darkest
just before day), and all the good the country has
derived from this Congress is owing to the coun-
sells and the sacrifices of the friends Of that man
azd to his glorious selsacrifcing principles. But
you have yet difficult duty before you lie not
on your arms; go 10 work; inform the laborins
men for whom this bill was passed let them see
on whom they can rely; they can only rely on the
Wings for the protection of American labor and
industry. We in Congress will do our duty; we
have been cheered by our reception here and
along our way some of US are to GO into retire
ment, and hope shall, for the LocoFoco have,
by the apathy of our party, got ajority in N.
Carolina, and they had rather send the old
Nick" to Congress than me, and well they may,
for he has always been their faithful and sure ally
Uaughter). IF am to fall before them, shall
rot be dismayed; and I shall only regret, in the
eloquent language of glorious Yankee hero, /" /
did not have more than one life to lose for> my
country" prolonged and deafening applause
The eloquent spcech of Hon. RICHARD w.
THOMPSON. Of Indiana is also in type, bpt dc.
ierred for want OF room.
