all alike. He portrayed ii 4 mastery man.
ner TIE iDfuencs which protection exeried
upon the peculiar Institutions Of the South:
be showed clearly that Il Is decidedly fag-
Orable TO the institution Of slavery, and
proved beyond q doubt, that should the sys.
TEN Of Free Trade ever 60 into operation,
slavery, The great source Of our agricultural
wealth and importance, lppst be abolished.
Mr., B. then took Up the question Of the
distribution Of the proceeds Of the Public
Lands. He was Of opinion that the pro-
eeeds should moi be distributed among the |
new States; and indisputably proved from
the, deeds Of cessiOn from che several States
70 the General Government, that the wat
debt being exlinguished, the proceeds Of
the lands conveyed BY those deeds, could
be applied to no other purpose whatever,
aud must necessarily revert pro rata to the
esding State.
He then dwelt upon the veto power, and
pointed out in truly eloquent manner, the
great evils which have and must ever result
from an unrestricted exercise Of the power.
He showed that it was intended by the
trainers Of our constitution for a conserya>
tive principle, 10 be used only as a curb to
hasly legislatiOni but, that contrary 10 the
intention Of its wise and sage originators,
il had not been applied TO the purposes for
which il was originally intended, and had
become in the hands Of the President an
INSTRUMENT Of tyranny and oppression, used
only 10 subserve party ends and party pur,
poses. He proved to a demonstration, that
il was necessary to the interest, the welfare
the prosperity and the very continuance Of
our Union 70 place some restrictions upon
this mighty engine Of power.
He next discussed the United States Bank
lques,iOn--prOVed its constilutiOnality; de-
! mohsifated it6uNlity aud necessity: show.
ed that Il did and would afford sound ant
equal currency TO every portion Of th'
Union, that il would. give life and actiVii,
10 cOmmerce and trade and agriculture, an,
revive the dropping energies Of The people
He disserled in skilllul manner the Sub
Treasury Scheme, and exposed il in all it
deformity: proved that il would place lh'
sole control Of the currency in the hand
, Of one man, the Secretary Of the Treasury
3 and that il was ia every way incompeten
to answer the purposes Of q general Fisca
Agent
In conclusion, Mn B. touched Ia strain
!. Of impassioned eloquence upon the Texa
b and Oregon question. He stated that b
l. had always been opposed TO the annexatio
: Of Texas, but that since the matter had bee
! entered into, he was a. willing as any ma
e among them, TO shoulder bis musket, marc
s to the battle field and die 10 defence Of III
r country. He was strongly opposed 70 yielC
c ing one foot Of the Oregon . The arrOgar
claims Of England.
