class Of voters We arrAign the present administration
for appointing Office both home and abroad foreign
OF questionable character and doubtful fidelity TO the
exclusion Of native ctzens Of high reputation and lofty

These harangues and resolutions and the cheers with
which they received show clearly the character Of
this convention How unlike the grand words Webster
spoke IN his Last days for the policy Of Cancellation for the
maintenance VI the constitution and the Mon Ii will be
asked there among the thousand delegates none
The Union and national school Of wings stand up for
that portion Of the constitution which it proposed
oberaIs II one OK two who called w Webster wings
spoke il with velvet tongue and their words
TO violated contracts played into the hands Of the free
soil best Even they talked about being absoved from all
compromises Hear one Of the Webster wings Mr.. Wal
ley said:
bile the fugitiye-slaye law Is law sustain it but my
advice Is to say 10 the South, stand by the constitution
but not by patchwork constitution You find your
remedy in constitutional methods We VIII sustain
unconstitutional methods Of sustaining unconstitutional
law Now If you viii amend the fugitiyeslase law
TO get what the constitution allows in it will lie salts
lied but uno you may get your rights as the courts may
point OUT
Taas from compromise uhig What is the meaning
Of il?
Hon Otis r. Lord speaker Of the house is another
Webster whig who addressed the convention lie did
say something 10 its sectonalism " began 10 think
the morning, he remarked commencing, that
10 make apology for remaining in it Nor it I'LL
afternoon that be began hear whig doctrines BE e
cited Mr. Valley as one Of the wings He said
III believed for one moment that wing principles
would lead to disunion anything short OF
acknowledgment Of the blessings Of this glorious consu
ton under which live ! should have made my exit
long ago and should have sought organization where
could have found n country worthy TO be a country
No stronger aasIavcry resolves have been passedno
ranker .eetonalisl has been utserehan may be found
in the proceedings Of this convention The platform
braces in its doctrine TO the admission Of States
OF the dangerous Of hereses IL strikes the
fundamental basis Of nationaty-of our Union. To
refuse 10 admit State into The confederaey without
ing perpetual prohibition its sorereigny-to attempt
hold State is well expressed in President Taror
California message as conquered people'vould be
violate cardinal feature Of Institutions Nearly every
President has denied the right OF Congress do this
Presidents JeSsrsoa Madison Monroe John O. 4fras ack-
Harrscn Poit Tayorto say nothing Of such emf
nent statesmen Clay and Calhounha1e I'm tsoy sanH
opinions asaaNs on record earryag such doctrine
this thus branded unconstitutional would not tend
TO dsunion then doctrine be named that will tend
10 dsunion- If the PRONUNCIATION Of such doctrine is
enough 10 drive true Union and constitutional from
organization that stands upon il, then know not
what viii drive them from il.
The people Of Massachusetts viii do we'll they
closely this whig platform before they IT, Its
