The daily national Whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1849, 1847-11-06

Wright, Mr. V. b. would consider the war ut an end
as soon as he enlisted CHEERS and langhter) But.
to render his labor eeetua and characteristic, Mr..
Croswe would first have TO enlist under the Mexi-
can banner, and then betray it, Immense applause.)
Mr.. v. b. referred to the charge in the Argus that
himself and friends were acting with the Wings. As
offset this charge he read s. Strongs celebra-
ted affidavit amid cheers and laughter; and after slut
ing that had been contradicted he proceeded
tosay that when il was denied he would bring for
ward further evidence, and prove to the Democracy
that, for the second time, Mr. Croswe had got his
foot in the grating. (Great laughter)
Mr.. v. b. denied that the simple fact that the
Wings concurred with the radical Democracy in re-
gard to the Wilmo proviso was any evidence either
that II or its advocates were Federasts. But for
the Wings the law in relation TO the new constitu
ton could not have been passed But for Wing votes
the new constitution could not have been adopted.
The conservatives opposed them both. Why were
tho radical Democrats branded as Wings in those
cases The man, said Mr.. V. b., who tries to make
Wing of me- will end in making un ass OF himself.
Laughter.1 He was not baby enough 10 run when
ever any one cried out "spook." He would as soon
think of running away from the Msxicans because
reinforcement Of Wings were coming up to the
rescue, as to run away from the support of the pro-
viso because Wings were in favor OF Ii. Prolonged
cheeringl Instead of branding such support evil
dence of its Federal character he would deem II evil
dence Of its righteousness. No wise will repu-
date good thing because it has the countenance of
those with whom he differs generally. CHEERS He
doubted whether all the brave men in our army In
Mexico were Democrats At Yorktown Chippewa,
Buena Vista, and Churubusco, Wings fought brave
ly. If the crimson soil Of those battefeds should
be analysed, there would be found some spots of
Wing blood. (Cheers.l He would deem himself u
craven at heart, if he should find himself hesitating
to admit the galantry of Taylor, simply because he
was Wing. [Cheers.] There are times when all
good rally to the support of correct principle
He was the last man TO be driven off from a righte-
GUS measure because he found it supported by men
connected with other denominations. [Cheers.l He
had been accused Of leading the Democrats astrpy
in their contest He would guaranty that those who
make this charge will be 10th to credit him, with the
majority against them, when the votes are counted
[Cheersl He had been charged with being influ-
enced in his present conduct, by the action Of the
Baltimore Convention in 1910. He appealed TO De-
mocrats and Wings 10 say If there was any man in
the State who abored harder than himself TO secure
the election Of that convention. Whatever good
qualities he may have he had the qualities Of frank
ness. When he was for man he was for him with
all his heart. When he was against man, he was
against him, just sincerely. He went into that
campaign because, besides men, the Baltimore Con-
vention sent out principles under which the Demo-
cracy could rally But the Syracuse Convention has
not only given us no principles but men whom a
majority of the republicans of the State do not want
Still, If he was an editor, with no more principles
than some editors he might run up the name of
Hungerford, for Comptroller, and on election day,
vote for Hungerford for State Senator. Chcersl He
had fear Of the issue of this contest. Even though
the government should fall into the hands Of Wings,
| they could do but little HARM SO long as they were
kept in the straight jacket Of the constitution.
[Cheers.] Mr.. v. b. would leave every man to do
he pleased in regard TO supporting the Syracuse
| ticket. The Democrats who had heard him might
do they pleased. They vote If they choose
but, said Mr.. v. Buren,, Pm the man that won't do
| it. [Tumuliuous chccring.] l WON'T because no
principles expressed by the convention by which
it was nominated. won't, because It refused to de-
clare itself In favor Of freedom WON'T because |

Those of you indebted conservative banks bette

cheeringl Mr.. " b. had been told that he had beer

was a mistake. You could not give man too much

Silas Wright Ii was true he had no respect for hi
integrity, veracity, patriotism; but he had espec
for his ZEAL talents and energy. He is brains for tn

Mr. v. B. said, he had taken his stand deliberately
and believed he had the sympnthies of the masses
| II men can read the papers--attend the Herkime
Convention, and witness this enthusiastic gather
