and then to excuse himself for not doing so,

enee. Sir, he who places his conscience and
his patriotism above the conscience and patri-
ofisin Of Washington, deserves the execra-
tons Of his country, and the execrati0ns oi
his country he will receive. The scenes Of
distress which bis tender const fence has per-
mitted him to pro ice, are beginning TO act
upon the people. ne thousands and tens OF
thousands Of honest debtors who have been
reduced to poverty and wretchedness tor the
want Of a better currency in deed, which bis
tender conscience would mol permit him to
sustain, are beginning to tell their tales OF
woe in peals Of vengeful thunder. All how

But 10 return to Mr.. Calhoun i should
consume too much Of the time allotted to this
meeting, Mr.. President, to pursue the patriot
