lasl week ] observed Card over ihs sgname
Of Geo. Fries." membsr of Congress ifam
this d'arieI. dated :" WashiAgisa. April 10, 49,"
The o6jsei Of the wnier v 10 STATE the reasons
Why csuan resolutions adopted Al a meeting Of
the Democracy of Carroll couaiy, laa winter,
concerning Dsm9craey. the "Msxican Whigs,"
6se., were not catered On The Journals Of Con.
gisss. Sc.
The reason Dr.. FRrEs assigns, Is thar The rules
OF the House don't admit the resolutions Of pub
lie meetings to @ on is journals, &c.
Now this IS all well enough; and BY the way,
is, 10 say The least OF il, no, very complimentary
70 the intelligence Of some Of tbs Great Consul.
Iuiional lawyers, who directed the whole Of the
movements Of the meeting which passed Ihs
resolutions.
the Dr.. thsn goes on 10 speak OF the course
pursued by the mljority Of the HOUSE, OF whlch
b IS msmJ:r; and says som thing about lhair
4" Acts looking 10 him like 'Frucraizing' with
the enemies of our country" That they give
'a'd aud comlnr' To them no one dpubs."
/ This may be the opinion Of DR.. Frtes-but is
It uuei "AlD AND CoMEoRrl" Il seem that e.
refuse TO follow III. UucUnsiIulional and wicked
acts Of President Polk. is in lhe ewes Of Dr..
Fries, nothing short Of treason. We supposi
that Tor Polk to urjsr the pass given TO SaHia
Anna, 10 enable hun TO enter tn b'ockad, a
/ Vera Cruz aad head the armies Of Mexico, and
cause Us the loss Of millions Of mon v and thou.
sands Of The lives Of our fellow ciuzsns. was ia
the estimation Of DR.. Fries. genuine pairio,ism
But about that people may difFr. suppos,
that when DR.. Fries voted at the b.ckon o. tn
/ President, that The Constitution did nsi give tC
Congress lhe power To- clear the snags OIl OF oui
rivers, or 10 improve The harbors on our Njrh
ern lakes, that he and the President were then
giving aid and comforI" to the storms, and hur
rlcanes, that cause the loss Of properly and liz
on the rivers aud lakes Of our country. b.
with the writer il seems to be treason, 10 call ID
question any act Of the President.
he Ihsn decends 10 personalities upon HENaI
CLAY and DANIEL WEBsTER-5scause, as h.
says, "Philanlhropic Society" Of the city o.
Mexico elected them "honorary members" for
"haying advocated the cause Of Mexico, and
denounced their own native land" Now Iha
charge oi deHOgHejhg "their oUa ndlire land. "
BY DR.. FRIES. against CLAY aud WEBSTER. /,
nanius,'y "a d1varighi faiseh2oi. Thay I'd,
noInce III ir nnliy3 iani!' The son of IVej
sier. Major WEBSTER, The bray-st Of the brave
fell IN The var,--nol, 10 b. sure, in the field o.
battle bur by ihs climate in Ihs valley Of rh.
city OF Mexico--alc was buried with the honor.
Of war.
HENRY CLAY, Jr., a Lieut.. Col. Of the Ken
tUcky Volunteers, foI on the ever msnorl5l,
field Of Basna VISTA. BH after all, c ay an.
Webster, according 10 III. D,:tor's notions Q
patriotism, enemies Of their country Sham
upon such flmnery and Galsohooi.
Can any Of lhe Democrats who composed tn.
meeting in Carroll say that they lost sons ia NIX
leo! They and the iocofoco5 generally, woIIC
rather pass resolutions that their neighbors wer1
traitors and enemies 10 their country, than q
themselves, or send their sons to fight the Mexi
cans. Az OBsERvoR.
