Of The county compelled whggery 10 repeal h' u
land bill, which was suspended IN lie operation by
its author the great inbodymopt, and doubtless not

i Our readers will recoect that we can give only a
general account Of the topics discussed. The sad
figure which @bggery Presented in The hands OF TINS
distinguished Orator, those only know who heard
him.
| IL is plain, that the only measures that the wings
can claim the Bankrupt Law and the Bank Bill
The former will for a hobby, and The lat
Iler is little less objectionable. An old fashioned
Bank is odious enough but one particularly adapted
to purposes OF corruption and party fraud ~ alto
gether insunerable. Al any rate whiggery is wise
enough 10 hide this Bank question IN most places, In
Land Bill. The great lmbodyment did indeed IN
troduce the Land Bill and sustain II but at the same
time, sunk IL, thousand iMhoms deep, by hang ng
the compromise about It's neck. Having done noihin
for the WING administration, Henry Clay left the
Senate His friends all voted agbin't the present
Iarff. The only three wings who voted for II, have
deserted the cause of Mr. Clay, and now striving
10 prevent his election and yet the wings, the Simon
Pure wings, the Clay men, are claiming the iarlf as
their great MEASURE Had the peculiar friends OF Mr..
Clay had their way, We should not have had the
present tariff. Now we do not want The measure
They are welcome to II but We do object, most en-
lphaucally, 10 their claiming It as theirs II they are
now in favor OF this tar Il; and wish to remain
lchanged they pretend they do, let them fist ac
knowledge that The country Is not indie bted TO them
flor it.
Mr.. Marshall alluded to the treatment which John
Tyler had received at the hands Of the Wing party.
He was made the scape-goat to carry all the SINS of
Whiggery. Tie was denounced as an infamous rai-
tor; compared to Judas, Benedict Arnold Aaron
Burr, and every other odous wretch that could be
thought Of; and all this, according to high Wing au-
lhory, not for his veto of Wing measures, but be-
cause he had broken up the Wing organisation.
Henry Clay had been twice before the country, and
rejected by the people. Whiggery got into power
under the names Of Harrison and Tyler but the oh
ect TO have them subserve the purI oses of the
great Embodiment; and allow him TO be the real Pre-
sident, and Tyler only his plant tool This the Cap
tam would not consent TO and, hence, he de-
nounced He would not the patronage of the
Government to elect Mr.. Clay; and hence he was a
traitor. Whggery said, that John Tyler owed has
elevation 10 the few tears he had shed the disap
pointmen, Of Mr.. Clay in lS40 and on this account
he was nominated Vice President; therefore he
was bound 10 break up the great Wing organiza-
ton. 1t would seem, then, that Wing organization
and Henry Clay, are the whole of Whiggery-pro-
perry so called.
But the great Dahiel has lately made speech ;
and has gwen an exposition OF Wing principles;
|. sound currency.
Well, every one wants sound currency There
is no difficulty on that subject The ways and means
to ensure such end, is the matter In dispute and
tins great expounder has given his plan in his ia
nous Exchequer bill, which was booted out of Con-
gress by all parues. VIII Whiggery take issue

,. The wings are in favor Of law and order. Their
peculiar claims 10 this character bath his city and
elsewhere came up spontaneously, To the minds OF
the audience; and this, together with signihca Mt
gesture of the orator produced burst Of laughter
upon the simple reading OF this great wing pretens

and bis eiposton of the character of the veto pow
er we're particularly happy. The lower House Of
congress represents the people only by ,ctIons-a
member of II IS responsible only TO ms district and
cannot be reached 10y The whole people Each State

Is the only representative Of the whole Democrscy Of
the country. In his hand reposes the veto power
