Still, we meet handsomely when accident
brings US together; sometimes meeting in
evening rides, when the respective hats i'm
med!ately rise high in the air; sometimes on
foot, in an evening walk, when we rush to
the salutation, and so pressngly that an OBJ
server might suppose il was pair Of old boz
som friends--Damon and Pythias--iust get
ting together again after long and cruel Sc
paration.
In the next plaee, ! do not mean Mr. Mar
.cy. He leaves himself out by permitting
others to dominate in bis department, and BY
publicly agreeing to what he privately con-
demns. leave out also the Secretaries Of
the Treasury, Of the Interior, Of the Navy,
and the Postmaster General, and only con-
demn them for remaining in Cabinet in
which thev are without influence, and shar.
ing the odum ofmcasures of which they have
no part IN the paternity. This brings me to
the Secretary at War and the Attorney &C.

ed nulliiers, are the whole administration.

within his circle; but that circle is narrow
one, and he moves uncontrolled within it.
He is an ayawed secessionist.
OF The outside force Of nullifers still less
remains to be said. They govern when they
please, and always in the same style-by
presenting menacing front. 0faI these the
Attorney General is the master spirit. He is
a man Of talent, Of learning, Of industry-
unscrupulous, double-sexed, double GENDER
ed, aud hermaphrOditic in polItics-with a

ministration so led, and Toretold its calan-
tous fate from the moment it was seen who
was TO be in it.
Now for their acts:
1. The violation Of the Texas and Mis-
souri, Compromises. With the facts Of this
violation, its wicked and corrupt intent, and
the foul means of getting il done, and its dis-
astrous and bloody consequences, you are all
sufficiently acquainted; and only name it
to give it its place at the head and front of all
The evil measures Of this administration.
2, Prostitution Of tie whole appointing
power 20 clcctioneering purposes. This was
openly done from the first moment OF its ex-
istence. Appointments were wholly made
with view to affect the elections, State and
/ Federal, and to operate for or against parti-
cular men and for this purpose unfit charac-
tiers would be taken in preference TO the best.
You know how it was 10 this State, and as it
was here, 50 il was everywhere. Nulliliers
aud free soilerS. apostates and renesades, all
were fish in their net. One single qualifca.
tiun was requisite, that at working in the
elections; and the only preference seemed TO
be shown was in faynr OF those who had been
most violent against the Union. On that
principle an editor was taken and sent into
Egypt--not into bondage, as better men have
been sent there--but a. Consul General OF
the United States, which editor had pnblish-
cd daily paper ia Washington city for three
years, wholly devoted to tie separation Of
the slave from the free States.
8. Unfit appointments on foreign mis-
siuns. This is a murtiiying head o. aocusa.
tiDi against The present administration. Ne.
yer were such men srnt abroad 20 represent

knowledge which diplomacy requires, aud
