"Mr. Haskell Tin his seat) don't knotc. IA
laugh, with the noise OF the hammer, and some
Confusion"
Wcare really sorry that we cannot continue 10
write of our "reminiscences OF this debate 10 the
end; but we are getting TOO much on one subject
in This paper, and must therefore "pnll up" al
once. Mr.. Crump made mastery defence OF
the "Plaliorm." He assured lhem-and with
truth ,oo-lhat our platform, bad as II was, was
better than none al all; that you had better be on
plain boards than down in The sand; that you had
better have Baltimore platform 10 stand on,
than have 10 "dance upon nothing" alter The
fashion Of the Wing party since they have kicked
the Embodiment, on whom alone they stood
from beneath their feet. He threw back Mr.
Daniels sneers about The Tariff OF 46, and The
Sub.TrcasuIy by pointing 10 The fourishins con-
dilion OF our country and OF our commerce, and
| by showing how the Sub-Treasury had weather.
| ed, without taking in 81 much as streamer or a
| pennant, The monetary revolution which has
swept the world, in consequence OF be expan-
sions and coniractious OF the Bank OF England
No National Bank which ever existed in Ameri-
ca could have stood il al all. His lime expired
while thus engaged.
| Mr. Daniel commenced and told how The Ia
riff ruin would come very shortly; how all the
manufacturing establishments would be breaking
down in little while from now; and darby in
| snnated that some OF lh.m were beginning al
ready, Mr.. Daniel and The like Of him are our
political Milleries. They are forever appoint
ing the first OF next week for The day OF judgment
But We really had supposed they had got 'irec
and ashamed OF these predictions OF Tariff ruin
lie declared that the expenditures Of this war
not the loans already raised, but the loans tina
WOULD be raised about Unjust necessarily break
down the present Tariff &c. But We have no
! room Tor even an analysis of his second speech
and must conhne ourselt 10 one or Two misccla
neous notices
He declared, in the most distinct manner, tina
Cass' opinions on the Proviso were not known
and asked where be had declared them: "Ni
cholson Letter. cried a voice. "In the Nj
cholson Letter." answered MIR. Daniel Sin The
Nicholson letter. The Proviso is not mentioned
once in the Nicholson letter. Here it is, my
friend,' holding il upland if you can show i
to me once in this letter, you may take my hat
There was a storm of applause, and there wa
nobody to reply-Mr. D. having the concluding
speech. The reader who witnessed the scene
may be somewhat surprised to hear that no
only is the Nicholson letter all about the Pro
viso, and nothing else, but it is mentioned b,
name again and again throughout that letter.
Here are some instances
"You ask me whether am in favor of &c
QUESTION Of Mexican territory, and what are my
sentiments on the Wilmot Proviso."
| [Gencral Cass' Nicholson Letter.
"The WlLMoT PROvIso has been before
the country sometime"
Gen. Cas- Nicholson Litter.
"For am satisfied from all have seen anc
| heard here, that successful attempt 10 engTaf
the principles 0. the WILMOT PROVISO upor
the legislation OF This country, and 10 apply then
10 new territory, should new territory be acquired
would seriously affect our tranquility"
Gen Cas- Nicholson Letter.
1.-THE WILMOT PROVISO seeks 10 TAX,
from its legitimate tribunal, &c"
Gen. Cass' Nicholson Letter.
Now We have one thing 10 say 10 The owner 0
that "vcice" which cried out nicholson Letter.
Go AFTER MIR. DANIELS HAT. Il is your proper
", 90 and gel H. He told you before all The PEG
pie that you might take his hat il you could finC
the words ''WImot Proviso" in The Nicholson
letter; therefore SO AND TAKE IT.
