had felt the iron heel Of a tyrannca, and
mcrcless majority, and never received and
never asked for quarter. The union of the
States was the first cardinal principle in
their political faith;--the measures they adj
vocated, and which distinguished them as
party, were but the legitimate results Of
their first profession. They had advocated
protective tariff, TO secure the commercial
independence, of our republic, and to en-
courage, and foster the labor and industry
of our whole people. They had urged and
advanced the cause of internal improve
ment, to supply TO portions of the country
the facilities for development of resources,
that had been denied them by nnture,-and
to enable the blessings of our government TO
be equalized among, and felt and appreciated
by our whole people. 1t was natural for
the wings, who had SO long felt the oppres-
sors power, 10 exult in the prospect Of the
scism, that threatened the ranks Of the
Democratic party. 1t was q proud day FOR
The Wings when they arrayed themselves in
one solid phaanx, on the side Of the consti-
tuition and the Union, and in determined OPP
position TO these Jackson resolutions. II
was a proud day for those men, who al
though indulging against General Jackson
and his party, hostility fercer, more bitter,
more acrimonious, than has ever character
lied any political strife during the existence
Of the government, yet when he uttered the
= memorable sentiment, The federal union;
\ it must and shall be preserved, forgot
their hostility 10 th man, in their patriotic
sanction and applause. Of the sentiment that
heatered. THIS gave us no advantage as
party, for General Jackson's own party
sustained him ana claimed new CREDIT for
him, and for themselves, that they put down
notification. On the passage OF the Jack
son resolutions, very different was the posi-
ton of parties. The Wings were consistent
, and true 10 their position and 10 the country.
, 1t has been said that those Wings who are N
, favor Of the repeal Of the Jackson resolution,
, have gone over 10 Benton. Sir, if there las
been any going over, Benton has Gene over
to us. The Wings first made opposition TO
these resolutions, for the reasons which
have previously given. The credit of OPP
posing them belongs to The Wings. 1t is
urged that the Wing party should not vote
, for the repeal Of these resolutions, but leave
them as bone of contention amongst the
, Democrats. Regarding this question as
I do, above all party, and that these rcsolu-
! lions threatened the Union of these S,aies,
g now that see new motives for my attach
f ment to that Union, as its bounds have been
), widely extended, and every land covered by
e the broad agis Of its protection has been
d blessed with increased prosperity and adj.

II should be thought, by leaving them unre.
@ pealed, that the people Of Missouri did moi
appreciate its value, and that precedent
;. should be left by which 1t may be cndanger'
n ed hereafter. Sir, the position the Wing,
~ occupied in voting against the Jackso,
# resolutions was the strongest one they cvel
e occupied. They acted then as they hat
g acted before, unitedly and tremendously
is But alas, as soon as they get the vantag,

IS When Bonaparte, the conqueror of Italy
r found the Austrian army, in two divisions
,p instead Of being united and irresistible, h
j. never thought of abandoning his position
l. and making treaty with one Of the wing:
le but he saw victory in that division, an
ne achieved it. The Wings sir, ''were not {
H. the army os Italy" But do not desire I
r indulge in reproach or recrimilation.
d. Although the ground has been PARTIAL
n. abandoned, it is rot too late to retrace tn
We step. The gentleman from St. Louis, (M
he Blair,) has INDUCED in menace, and
DS malediction OF the Wing party. Mr. Speak
lis er, for one Wing, | can say neither ask, {
expect any favor from TIE democratic part.
re So far as his remarks affect the Wing party
on they give Inc no concern. But | do rcgr,
n that the gentleman had not minstered 10 h
he own nature, by more amiabe predicto
nd than he has uttered. In conclusion, M
- Speaker, permit me 10 express the hop
nd that the Wing members of this House, wi
IN now come up unitedly, and stand by the NJ
en- bic band Of Wings, excepting Of course II
