in his paper Of March sib, $.
fer tae insertion Of one of he resolutions IL
dop,ed a, the late " hig State Convention, o.
SKIS some puzzlns questions aud con. ),
ludes BY say ing: "Whiggcry fears the Ii
ish,." After his saying that, We feel u
ome considerable hesiiancy 10 putting our.
elses in such dangerous position as to
,tlemp, an answer to his questions /; such :
IN efiulgent lumnary ns he is, should be
dreaded for to go so suddenly into the
presence OF so grea, light, nigh, con.
tract the iris Of The eye so much, that eve.
~ thing in creation would wear the "b'sck.
ness Of darkness" to il forever afterwards.
A,ihe risk however Of going blind, and
having "all thinks show their dark sides
to US" We presume upon an answer 10 some
Of his queries.
When was il ,ba, the present Adn'n.
tra,ion commenced a warfare upon Amer.
eaa Industry :"
Il CONNIE nced It's "wariare upon Ame-
rican Industry when {, came into power
when il warrcd upon the Tariff of isi2, a
measure which sas sustaining American
Industry" and under whose esncflc.eni
operations the commercial prosperity Of
! the country was improving, and our Ma.
! 'ional Treasury getting that disease the
/ plethora or ful!ness.
/ We would mol have dared 10 20 IN the
presence Of such a dazzling blaze Of
"hchi." to answer that question without
company. Mr.. Haywood u d,stioguished
Democratic Senator. elected such by a
Democratic Legislature suslains Us IN .ha,
answer.
"When and how has il recklessly mis-.
managed the public Treasure 7"
When i, passed the Sub. Treasury. there
by costing the Government a vast amount
more than necessary, 10 keep i, safely
transfer il, not with expedition, bu, with.
out loss--snd to disburse il at the proper
points when IL involved Tho Country IN an
!. expensive war. which Benton has emphat.
icslly sl,gma,ized, as unjns, and uneons,,.
tulIonal and upon which the nation has sri
its seal Of disapprobaIion costing he eoun
try millions upon millions, and complete
ly eshaus',og The Treasury.
How has il diverted the P.hlic I.ans
Fund from its rishiful purposes r
By passing tho measures before alude,
TO which have impoverished the Treasury
! ald made II necessary To resort 10 that
and instead of the land fund resetiins Il
its righ,ful owners the States who loane,
1t 10 the Conicderncy 10 pay Of the Of,
debts" II now has 10 60 into The Treasury
to make a fraction towards liqnldalinl
newly created jeb,s.
"When md where has i, given direc
and open cnuniehsnce and encouragement
10 the violation Of law ard order 7"
When very recently where L.
Mexico: Scott, after having fought his way
valinnlly through battle after baulr, nnc
/ against great odds, both Numerically ans
~ point of position. ard with a handful o
men entering the city, victorious conquer
or, wishes 10 preserve order accord
! ing 10 the strict letter Of authority vested
in him BY "laa;" but the ndmin,stra ior
envIous of the reputation he was acgnir
ing, snl looking upon every plume he
gained as tearing feather from its brows
npan !" slight and groundless preteyt.' re-
lIeves persons who have broken the lar,
from arrest, and suspends Scott who hat
upheld md wished to execute il. This was
aagrani instance Of giving "direc. and
open coun,enance and encouragement to
the violation Of law and order"
We have thus briefly. and al the risk Of
being blinded by tho radiant corruscnlions
Of brilliant light, which cmana'e from shc
Censor Of tho Commonwealth" endcav.
ored to answer him.
