created or three divisions of Democrats who were sua-
ted remotely from each other and who cherished Jeaouses
and suspicious OF each pety,
contempiibe local uaisns coward federasms; which Mr.
W. did not charge those who inhabited the cottages around
but politicians who had put these notions In their head
and had nursed and cherished them as elements OF local ds
ncon which they hoped TO rise into consequence es
il the people, politicians who were the fathers
of these miserable ulIaism which, II not stopped, would
break the great Democratic party These men could not
wait orsooth till got the territory they Were akg apou
No they take time by the foelock and distract our
councils advance Ii reminded him OF one Of the recipes
in Mrs GLASS; famous cookebook was Tor the stewng
of sort Of fish, and began First caleb your hsh then
scale it," &c. Now, so far from taking the shEewd
advice Of Mother Glass that actually Tor dishng our
fish and bringing them up table, before even the hook was
baited by which he be caught We were IN war
with Mexico. How did know what was IN the counsels
of Heaven in the Questionable DEGREES OF the Great AN
the results of this war The battle was not always to the
strong. How did know TO acquire territory We
had right count upon it, The opinion was begolten by
national vanity individual presumption. When we had
caught fish, when had conquered and got the terri
tory would be time enough for US to talk OF the laws we
would make for it. Them and not till then, ought we to be-
gin to contend about what should do with It, On this sub
ec Mr. w. said he represented here the sentiments OF his
constituents. MIR. W. said he against all gentleman
riders " against all their -destroyes He hoped they
would keep them in their pockets put them under the table
Before he resumed his seat he would like to make alas APP
peal TO the Democratic gentlemen in that House. and would
remind them that they charged by the God OF Prov
dence, by the country, by their patriotic constituents and
y their of duty with the OF this coun
try. You must govern it, cried Mr. w. 1t is you must 60
vern it, The other side will not help you they faction
who Will defeat thing and do thing to break down
the Democratic party and when called to account by their
constituents any injurious act this forms sufficient ust
fcaon And here Democrats who have not the courage
to walk up and do their duty They will sacrifice you and
all your hopes miserable neghbohood ultraism that
they have taught the people living round the headwaers OF
creek for the sake of their
begoten by aboton and conceived by the devil Roars
of laughter.
1t takes great minds TO govern country but small minds
produce small ideas they have set little gratis little
getabe PETS which they chershng and rearing up for
their profit and glory The results OF all such schemes
will only be confusion and the ranks OF the party
Mr. w. said again he would vote for the extra
VACANT bill that gentlemen could prepare, because he believed
to this with Mexico, that just done with it.
We could not borrow TO on the war or to secure
what already held. He supposed the House meant to
leave the Administration that privilege, and not to direct it
magnanmousy withdraw army from the Mexican SOIL
and the ports her be closed and guarded When
the Administration should ask this Mr. W. would vote for it,
He for blocking the wheels the Government in order
force into such measure and throw the responsibility
upon them. Gentlemen might divide off into their separate
ques and oppose the wishes of the President but he would
tell gentlemen and sound the warning in their the day
that the boat leaves James X. Polk it leaves
Mr. w. said he knew little and he cared but little for Mr.
Polk personally What he knew of him was that he at
the head Of the Government and the head OF the
party. Gentlemen might their uasms they pleas
ed but when they failed support the of the De-
mocratc party, though they might gory themselves for
ment and get personal strength in their little neghbor
hoods, they would ruin their party For his part he
should support them he should support the President He
agent representative OF the President here's he had
met him but he had been in the city and then he
had had conversation with him any political subject
But he would again gentlemen unless they supported
him. they would find the Democratic party like Samson in
the lap of the harot, and would awake too late, with its
locks shorn.
He told gentlemen, and cried it in their ears The Phis
tines upon you fyou vote for all the measures recon-
mended, you will save your bacon if not NOT.
