two parties, and but for the rascally Wings,
there would be no division. When he had
occasion to speak of Col. Benton, he softly
styled him "the old man." and not the "frai-
tor" "Ffeesoiter," "deSpoi," &c., which the
Antics usually applied to him; no, "the old
man" had had difference with his party,
but the jefferson convention had settled
that, and they were now all united upon
the platform" TIf they were all united,
how came it that the Major spoke three days
in the last Legislature, denouncing Benton
and his friends? How was this? He acaS
hot then. But seeing chance for Congress
and knowing that he would have 10 "back
water" to get the same Benton men he
abused TO vote for him, his great three-days'
speech was suppressed! That would be the
same in all paris ofthc District, but destroy
it and he could blow hot in Grundy, Mer-
Ger, Putnam, Carroll and other counties,
where Benton votes were TO be had, and
cold in Howard, Randolph and Macon,
where it was only necessary to arouse the
Antics.
Mr.. LINDLrY's reply was all that his
cause or his friends desired. He com
menced by passing beautiful eulogium on
Howard county and her citizens. He then
began where Major JACKSON had, at the
formation Of the constitution and parties,
met him at every poiut throughout, though
in much shorter space of time than the
Major had occupied. He took up the Ma.
jor's declarations on the subject of the un.
constitutionality of the Bank, Protective
Tariff, &C.; and showed him, if they were
, unconstitutional, his great apostles, Madison
and Jefferson, did not stand on his platform
| On the subject of Internal Improvements
he dwelt at some length, as being one Of the
l question really at issue, and of Importance
5 to the people whom they were addressing
] and who were to decide between them
S Major jackson protested to be the friend o
Internal Improvements. Yet, while mem
0 Der Of the Convention TO revise the Consti
c tuition, he voted against every proposition
favoring Improvement, sought to be intro
4 duced into the New Constitution. His plat
4 form was against Internal improvements
;, his acts and votes were against it--and We
Y he said he was an Internal Improvement
A man!
!, The difference between Mr.. J. and him
e self was this: Mr.. ]. was for Improve
, ment, but voted against it; he was for I'm
s provement and would vote for it, and coult
/ do it consistently, because he believed i
E both eXpedient and constitutional. Mr..
3 admits the power Of Congress TO appropriate
S land but not money. This is his position
e to-day, although he has given in to tn,
Y money, as well as the land, in other places
1 He derives the power to give land from I'll,
: clause of the constitution which gives Con
$ gress the power 10 dispose of property. TIT
same clause would give money.
, He says Congress has no power to run
the Pacific Railroad through Sovereign
State. If the road starts from Memphis Of
: Galveston, who is to build it to the STATE
t boundaries? and after it passes through thu
territory, and reaches the California bound
= airy, how is it TO get to San Francisco? Ha,
t Congress no right to build roads for Ma
tional purposes? Can she not march he,
+ troops through Sovereign State? Can
= Congress not make road for these troops
going to fight for the common defence, t,
| travel upon?
, The Major, (said Mr.. L. is great OF
: Constitutional Rights, but he has not a con
stitutional opinion which he can not compro
. mise. He believes the enactment of Ger
tain law unconstitutional, but will sanction
t its passage on the score of Compromise. |
a thing be unconstitutional there is no com
! promising it, by man who has sworn t.
obey the constitution.
= But we can not follow the discussion
further Mr.. LENDLEY's speech was re
ceived with the most enthusiastic applause
| and we have never ieen the Wings more full
~ aroused, or better pleased with a cand
, date, or the democracy more downcast.
1t was a proud day for the Wings, ant
, they will not forget the eloquent defender o
their cause on the first Monday in August
Let the Wings of other portions of the Dis
trict do their duty as fully as the Wings o
Howard, and victory will crown theil
efforts.
Three times three far Lindley!
