I meaning the sligh,es; diSrespsct that if we had
a Wing Governor just nov, SeDaor's votes

| Mr. WIrCHER followed and JusIiilsd the
coutse he had pursued in coming back 10 hi'
liienis. lie saw that party was al woIK. he
saw, when ne looked across this room ln'o Inc
ohet hall, Simultaneous move TO pls The eight
millions OF banking capital ot The State lao The
hands OF The Execulive-(Wilh fe 9 honorable
exceptions, abiding to The Democrats, and ihey
had his gfa,ilude) --He could see that millions
OF The peoples money was 10 60 ito the hands
OF the Board Of Publ: WORKS Il was salt that
he had given Democratic vote Oocosely, /!
TO put his money power into the hands Of The
GoveInor-if this was evidence OF Democracy,
he was not OF them. Whilst The Senator from
Fauquier might mol be guided b. parry ltfaen-
ces, il was seen 10 both Houses and in The press
that parry was in this matter. With such Co.
veinors as we once had, The deposEe oil this
power would be safe in their hands, bul that dag
had gone by.
Mr. WlTCaER said, SO far as The President
was concerned, he had not yet been prosoriptive;
he had not reached that point. But Inc Senator
from Fauauier had thought so differently, that
he had not attempted 10 keep count OF The reno
walls He would like to know from The Senator,
how i! happens that so many Of his friends had
been found in cfi:e7 They had been put there
by prescription, and il would be tolerating pro
scripion not TO turn them DOT. Even ii the Pre-
sidenl had reached the proscfipiye point, II could
not be 10 the mouth ut Democrats, %Iihou,
some blush 10 cry out against IL. II II was
wrong 10 pu, them 10 By prescription. then they
ought 10 have denounced il.
Mr. SuACKLEFORD was sorry for this
discussion, and had gone for the previous ques-
ton, in order 10 avoid il. lie was no., therefore
responsil lie for il. Ii would seem that the Sena

best power on earth 10 confer appointments, ana
he has told you that he is one OF them. ne
talks about radicalisin. Now he, (Mr. S. looked
upon that Senator hImseit as one OF the very top
branches OF radcalism, and he was very much
afraid. that il ever a winter OF diversity should
come upon the Democratic parry, he will extend
his radicalism SO lar as 10 be found JotGftnY -
