There We're some eight or ten speeches to-day
in the House upon the tariff. IN continuation of
the discussion. Bur there was one more ilnpor-
tant than all the rest--inore ominous OF failure
-nore conclusive Of irremeoiable dissolution
Of theparty, than all the speeches of the day, Of
the week, or Of the session. Il was the avalanche
of Jacob Br,Dkerhof, of Ohic. There is no mine
ing matters with him. Mr.. President, he is down
upon you-he is down upon the South, and ye

You have sown the wind, and you are to reap the
whirlwind. All my friends, my friends, the
day of profe ssons has gone by and the day of set
tlement has come round.
And heavy bill, indeed twill be-
For Jimmy Polk. of Tennessee.
Consult the speech of Brinkerhoh. The offices
have been dispensed almost entirely to the South
upon a doubtful boundary-we have avoided war
with Great Britain by the surrender Of territory
proclaimed to be " unquestionably ours" and the
proclamation supported by 'rrefragible facts and
arguments" The democracy of the whole North
have been neglected-the democracy OF the whole
West have been outraged-on'raged beyond
reconciliation-made the butt Of ridicue the world
over, and all for their fidelity TO the admnstra-
ton. subject of Jest and sneers they for
their fidelity TO IA delusive and deluded man.
Fifty four forty avaunt Avast, there, thou ske-
Teton of goblin. Father Richie, open the door
and kick the spectre down stairs. Ii is done, and
Father Richie claims the honor for his ma grhs
principum, the President. But what could the
President do At the outset he was like one Of
the heroes OF Horace
"Quo me cunque rapit tempestas, defsror hospes"
esfin upst hv fha
of 81 40. He had to come in with ''bg plunge"
to attract the public attention; He did so--he did
come in with "big pl"nge"-he did attract the
public attention And the public thought of
course that he had consulted all the records, all
the consequences-the whole question of right.
and that he was altogether right in standing out
for the integrity Of the national soil. That was
the true American chord. He hit it almost acci-
dentaly but he hit it, and the chord vlbrated with
a sound that pleased the ear Of Captain Polk.
But he has given wayne has virtually acknow-
lodged that he was insincere-that he was only
tampering in bullying John Bull, with the strong,
honest, manly sympath'es of the American peo-
bun
c,acy Of the West have been utterly outraged.
Had 81 40 prevailed, with desolating wa on
the top Of it, Cass would have perhaps rode into
the Presidency upon the bloody waves, in spite
Of all opposition. Allen would have been chief
adviser, his turn coming next in the new order Of
succession. Now they are down, irretrievaby
down, and all their hopes, like the Duke OF Clos
ter's clouds,
Are in the deep bosom of the ocean buried"
utterly extinguished. There is now nothing bur
vengeance left them and their 81 ~ phalanx.
Now comes the demonstration. The President
has no hold now except upon the South-none
upon them, except upon the tariff. And here the
men Of the w est are to meet HIM. They acted
in good faith with him and the South upon
nexation-they have been ungrateiuily betrayed,
and rldiculed upon the Oregon iestion in re-
turn. And they will be reveDged. Hungerford
leads the way. Tea and coffee are to remain
free, the tariff VIII stand-the South insist that
they shall be taxed at all hazards, backed by the
President and the Secretary OF the Treasury.
Two-ti,irds Of this tax upon tea and coffee, or
two out of three millions, Will fall upon the
North and West The people have caught the
