There Is no sacrifice which an honorable man could
make to sustain them which am not at all times
ready to incur To the Wings and the Wing
party no man was more devotedly attached Dur
ing the last session Of Congress the northern
Wings, including all Of them except Mr. Foot, Of
Vermont, deserted US ON the reciprocity treaty.
They all voted against protection TO every article
or farmers could raise, and admitted the produce
Of all British North America duty free. This trea-
ty was clearly unconstitutional without an act OF
Congress to carry il out II trenched on the tax
ing power Of the House Of Representatives. BY
its own terms therefore, act to carry IL into ef
feet was required to be passed by Congress. Ths
requisite act was passed by the House Of Repre-
sentatives MS well as the Senate and the northern
vote, which was formerly always given for protect
ing duties on manufactures, was then as freely
given to repeal the moderate protecting duty OF
only 20 per cent. on grain and breadstuffs, wool,
sheep, &c--in short everything a Delaware farmer
can produce. What kind Of Wing principle was
there in that vote The same vote was given 10
the homestead and graduation bills, whose ten.
dency is to depopulate the old States and give
away the public domain to foreigners without re-
gard to character abroad or at home. The same
vote was given to authorize aliens to vote In the
territories. Under these circumstances, say un-
hesitatingy, that prefer party association with
men other than those, and that would not be
dragged on in their company by the name OF w hig
or any other name. They abandoned the princl
pies Of my past public life, and now il can find
no other men ready to sustain American principles,
would prefer to stand outside Of any party Or
ganized whatever.

Whig or Democratic party. But II am to act

We gra6ed to learn (says the Martinsburg. (va)
Republican, that the President OF the United States has
through the inerpostion OF the representative in Con.
gress from this district granted to VIM Henry Haines
OF this county free and full pardon All doubtless
remember the deep interest which the fate OF this youth
inspired; his unanimous Recommendation to mercy by
the jury and the sympathy universally felt on account
Of his extreme youth and former good character We
further learn that his department since he has been in
prison has been exemplary and meritorious Opposed
AZ we are TO those abuses OF the padonng power which
often occur, we regard the pardon Of Hanes as
that does equal honor to the head and heart Of President
Pierce.
