few 'tixed facts" connected with The late contest
Tor it.
MIR. Garret Davis of kentucky on behalf OF
Federalism as you wil recollect, mourned most
pieously over The corruption Of The political
press. and maintained that his Whiggery led him

was matter OF any consequence, wheh com
pared with The importance Of rescning Inc vlTtnes
oil the country from the yawnins gun INTO
which thew were about 10 BE- entonbed, by follow
ing The prec dent, upon this subject, set by the
first Congress, AMI endorsed by each succeeding

be REGARDED! as the Wing theory III the premises.
Bur true 10 their former practice with Inc e1-
cepion Of four members. they voted IN body Tor
the conductors of political press; and thereby
proved that, however willing they might be to
reap capital from n. positions laid down by Mr..
Davis, a. their policy, thsy had not The slightest
idea Of CARVING them out 10 practice
Ia The Senate, Mr. Clayton took The opposite
tack. and abored 10 tickle the fancy Of the people,
by showing what a sicser tor economy his
Whiegery mad him. lie was inirusted with The
management Of The Wing cause before that bo-
Nv. as Mr.. Davis had been before the House, and
argued. with apparent earnes,ness, and win MS

The case NAV be concisey stated as follows
The Wing Senators, ca masSc, have declared, by
their vote, either that The proposed saving oil me
public money bv giving their printing TO Jefferson
Is Co. was sheer humbug, intended but 10
make political capital for their pa'iy-or, on me
