Of legislation and the walks Of social life that se'e

A million voices viii soon be swelling up from every
portion Of common country indignantly rebukine

the security Of the Union. Yes, the universal &C
know ledgment shall yet be heard, that in defiance o.
circumstances the most embarrassing, OF obs'a

when, without blow, the vast rich region Of Texas
is embraced within .our limits, what recompense
shall be awarded to him. who within the brief period
Of four years, unsustained by party, has twice
s,rangled that old aud hateful monster, into whose
rotten the Promethean power of Federal
alchemy was breathing life again, tl'warted the foul
and corrupt design that urked beneath the scheme OF
distribution settled old and perplexng controversies
with foreign states, increased immensely the extent
and security of the Union, and contributed so
much, so vastly to its prosperity and grandeur
Tell, us, men of this Republic, you who talk
of Justice and equal rights, shall the laurels
he has iearessy and fairly won, be wrested from him
by other hands, Will you bestow upon another the
recompense that belongs to him Shall good and
faithful servant 90 warded by your APPRECIATION
into that retirement which, wthoutit would be hard
to bear but with it, sweet and welcome No.
Your returning sense of justice will yet award to hm
a full and explicit recognition OF his claims 10 your
support. Your sufages will yet be given to him for
the good he has accomplished, and the victories he
has won for his country, in the midst OF opposition,
and desertion and trescheryof trials aud suerings
as unparalleled they undeserved. Shall the
hills and valleys of the North-the praires of the
Wsst-lhe sunny plains and woodlands of the Souh
ring with cxultation another star beams brightly
forth from our c1nsteated banner, and that man be
aforementioned amidst the general joy, whose geniu'
conceived whose courage essayed, and whose WIS
dom contaminated the glorious act Shall the re-
compense of this great achievement be given to
one whose only claim in onnexion with 1t is that he
approves the act' Justice and gratitude alike forbid
it. The sober judgment of the American People
will never sustain the selfish endeavors of ambitious
politicians, to sacrifice to their individual aggrau-
dizemcnt the man who has served his country with
such devoted and successful zeal. Truth will yet
prevail and the man who Influenced by no sectional
partialities or preferences, has administered the
Government with views enlarged and national, shall
find hi. triumph at ia. t, in that holy and heaven
ordained retrbuton which ever follows in the
rear Of, and finally oyertakes and oyerwhems injus-
tice aud persecution.
