report Of the Committee to the House of Com
mons, on the evening Of the 22d December, gave
the Democrats S2s Districts, the Wings ls, and
left il donbt cit wss this iniquitous and ty-
ranpicsl continues that paper, that por-
ton Of the Wings Of the House resolved and de-
clased never should pas, and they deserve honor
for It. e. ! i .;s5 ss Z
8 Nov We affirm what We have heretofore stated,
On t6e bsst t6ositg that this report of the Coms
rnitttee, composed Of Messrs. Avery and Philips
assigned TO the Democrats 20 Districts, to the
Wings %, and left in, doubt. We know what
We say understand what we are writing about,
for we have taken pains to inform ourselves on the
subject; and on the contrary, We have no hesita-
ton in expressing the opinion and this opinion
we found upon the Editors own statements that
the Editor Of the Register is uninformed on the
subject, and has written at random, withoutregard
to the facts, with the sole view of jusdfying, il
possible, the revolutionary action Of his Wing
friends.
And who was it that agreed to this "iniqaitous
and tyrannical bill"? Mr.. Philips, Of Orange, is
the man-a Wing, gentleman of information on
the subject for he had studied it, as have reason
to believe, before and during the session. And
yet, because he had the disposition to agree, i'll
Committee, to something like just and fair ap-
portionment between the parties, and because he
had the maniness to stand by the report, and the
patriotism to rebuke, as he did, the dsorganizing
conduct Of Mr. Cherry and Others, he IS to be held
up and denounced as false to his party and as ca
pable of pressing upon the House and the country
an "iniquitous and tyrannical " measure! He is
to be sacrificed for the benefit Of such Wings as
Fagg and Dargan-he is to be prescribed because
he adhered to truth and justice, and would not
stand aside and permit these infatuated partizans
to urge the State government into the very vortex
of confusion and disorder!
The Register admits that a portion Of the Wings
of the House resolved that the bill as reported
I" never should pass, and that paper says these
Wings "deserve honor for it." Here we have a
distinct admission that the Wing party, as repre-
sented by these men, acre engaged in the rork ot
,evosustoH; aud mere We have, also, the organ OF
the Whig party glorying in this work and ap-
plauding the actors in it. After this, it is worse
than useless for the Register to attempt to fz
blame on the Democratic members. Still that pa
per has the audacity to declare thas it was the
Locofoeos who threatened anarchy and civil COM
motion-it was they who threatened to leave the
State government withou. organization, if they
could not palm off on the Wings their odious bill. "
Why, what monstrous falsehood is this Who
had the power in the Housea. The Wings. Who
spoke to consume time and declared, both on
| Wednesday and Thursday, that if the Democrat.
would not come to their terms, and at once, tha
the State government should be broken up? Ih
Wings. Who, as the Register admits, "sat silent
The Democratic members, with one or two excep
tons. Who, at length, came forward to arrest th
progress of anarchy and revolution, and to admin
ister severe rebuke to his party friends for the
. course they were pursuing Mr.. Baxter, the Viii
! Speaker. These facts are notorious; and yet th'
Register, with an impudence without precedent i
the political annals of this State comes forward
declare, in the face of these facts that the Demo
Gratis are responsible for the memorable scenes {
!. the 22d and 23d of December, and that the Whig:
sby their devotion to the principles Of conserva
tism, of law and of order, prevented locofoco mad
ness from precipitating the government into tn
horrors Of anarchy!
