of deep and general interest, inasmuch Is the matter
| mean TO propose is, special vote oil thanks to Mr.
Tyler OF the President Of the L. 5, (cheers) Tor
The counienuncc he has given the OF Repeal AS
an American gentleman, and distinguished in society
as such, | should not feel il my duty TO move a
vote Of thanks, so many others having joined IN
similar displays; but | think there is pecularity
in the case, by Reason Of bis connexon with the

supposed TO exist where domestic dissensons do not
prevail should lead believe that the sentiments
of The son are dlscountepanced or dsoPproved by
the parent, fhear hear believe the character OF the
American President stands highly in this respect; tor
Of the great things a. popular elections IS, that IN
ouence of the number Of rival candidates, and oil
the enemies which those candidates must necessarily
have, each party would be on the alert to find out
every fault which The others possessed. Hear, hear
The Democratic principle, then, not only gave freedom

who is had husband, bad father, bad son, or an
unjust brother, have chance OF being returned
When men therefore guilty ofany immortality, there
is no doubt whatever of being exposed, and these
elections thus operate check on vice, and reward
and encouragement. of public and private virtue
