The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-03-27

We have published the speech of the Hon.
i. l.. CLINGMAN, con the future policy OF
the Governments" but we feel bound in JUS
tice to ourselves, as well as the party whose
opinions we represent, to accompany the speech
with some remarks, lest we might be suspected
of giving even the slightest appreciation to its
censurable doctrines.
"There are some persons to whom whatever
is not extraordinary is nothing" is an old re-
mark, and is illustrated by Mr.. CLINGMAN. He
is liable to the imputation of seeking notoriety,
of doing something extraordinary, of being rest
less in the beaten track, and determined to sur
prise us by his ultraisms, if he cannot dazzle US
by his oratory.
A few years ago, when Mr.. G.. entered Con-
gress, he had the manliness to vote to abolish
the twenty-fir rule; in other words, to admit
abolition petitions. His manly course was eek
traordinary," and therefore he was in love with
it. He was denounced by the southern Demo
Gratis as abandoning the South by sstreachery.''
Mr. c. then spoke Of the Democratic conduct
as 'sgame." Who, with the disunionists, is
playing game now2 In 1874 Mr.. CLINGMAN
was strong tariff and Union man, and de-
nounced Mr.. CALHOUN and his nullifers in
terms of the severest reprobation. Now he is
extraordinarily" in love with the aristocratic
nullifiers, and breaches disunion, and of course,
in multiplying jargon, assails the tariff.
We have overlooked much that might be
censured in Mr.. C.'s speeches during the last
Congress- rather his session speech, for he
generally makes one speech session-for we
hoped his Wing spirit, his tariff spirit, his
Union spirit would return after the Complo-
mise measures passed, and we were disposed
to forget his errors and look to the future. But
he now attempts to create dissatisfaction in the
minds Of his constituents with the legislation
Of Congress. When even many Democrats
who did not vote for the bills are willing to let
them stand; when the entire Wing party in
the House of Representatives from the South
supported the most important of these bills
