a2 The effect Of this abOminab!e declaration was
seen in It's manly and immediate repudiation by
William Hubbard, esq.,, the whig candidate for
the Senate. Another correspondent of the Nash
vile Union" in letter from Dresden Of the goth
ult, reports the following as the substance Of Mr.
Hubbard's speech. We must add, that il reflects
honor upon him: 49, ,d ..7, 2a..a.-ses ;as
""Mr. Hubbard declared that he 'icas not pre-
pared to shoulder and pack through this cGnoass
| tie doctrines Ganounced rnNd mGlntGined By Col.
Haskell in has speech at that place Ion the i7th
inst. That there were. too many Inconsistencies
and glazing absurdiiies for him TO endorse such
Gnti-AmeTicGn sentiments in order TO remain a
whig of lS4z. 4 am off l have been used to
party harness, and have been gored and scolded
enough to be hardened to them by this time But.
gentlemen, these are rather The roI8hest l have
ever tried 10 wear.lc Iput them on on Saturday,
and wore them three days and nights tried 10
wear them-I wanted to wear ALTO be in uni
form. But, sirs conscience and pGtriotism'would
not stand il, and n0U reAOunee the doctrines
as advocated By a large portion Of the sohig par
ty Of Tennessee. ~
"Mr. Hubbard now went into an examination
of Col Haskelrs speech, and exhibited its glaring
Inconsistencies, and said, How can any man re-
concie the sentiment, that the present war with
Mexico was an offensive unconstitutional, and an
unholy war, and then say that il is right for Mex
leo 10 pay the expenses of il q He referred 10 the
whig members Of Congress who supported this
war, by voting men and money !; and SAID, If this
war had presented so many hideous features, that
certainly they were as sagacions as Col Haskell,
and they had declared their oalhs, that the war
existed By the act of Me1ieo' And Allen A.
Hall, good whig authority, had said, in 1916, that
Mexico had given US just cause for, war. a.
"Mr. Hubbard differed with Col. Haskell and
General Brown on the subject of a candidate for
President They, said he, go for Old lack, righ.
or wrong, whig or democrat-On the go-it-blind
principle of 1910, 'nolhing for :he public eye,
&c. He could not consent to take man as his
candidate, because no was to be available. He
we'll recollected the scenes aud results of l84o He
went for principles, not men; and whilst he was
up, he would take occasion to nail to the counter
this glaring and barefaced insult TO integrity o
principle 90 .za1ea1 ,oa2t4"t
aAnd now, said Mr.. Hubbard, comes along
the hereof CerIo Gordo, who declares the whole
matter wrong and nnholy from beginning to end
and that his policy is TO bloU off The blood hoHnds
and march back, Mnder n,a6aed drums, until we
get into Texas proper; and that would be his
course if he was in Congress. As arm eandi
date, in his district, for the State Senate my op
ponent, Gen. Harris well rs my whig voters
will try to force me to endorse this sentiment
This cannot do consistently with my honest con
vctions of what Is right; ). and, consequently
! this day withdraw from the canvass, II mv whs
friends can get standa bearer who will nail to
his flag such sentiments as these, say amen"
Mr.. Hubbard, in the close of his remarks
stated that he did not abandon the whig pfinci
plies of 1874; but under no circumstances could
he think of voting for any man nvowing the SEN
timents that COL Haskell did" "' ~. ......+
