Mr. niav rides nnt hhish
fhp r-nnitliiv of the various interests and the various parties,
which he believes can with most certainty impel his advance to the high object of his
ambition. For some years he has indirectly aided and countenanced, by speeches in
the Senate and by intrigue, the daring assumptions of the Northern fanatics; but re
cently, apprehensive that he had failed to conciliate their support, (or what is more pro
bable that it is an arranged affair to deceive the people) he has denounced their incendi
ary attempts in an anti-abolition speech in the Senate; while in order to secure the im
mense banking influence of the country as his most powerful resource, he has proposed
a splendid Naiional Hank to be chartered by Congress with a capital of Fifty Millions
of Dollars! Should the people be insane enough to elect him, it requires no prophet
to predict, that all the abuses, all the corruptions, of J. Q. Adams's administration,
from which Jackson and Van Buren, have cleansed the Augean stable, will be revived,
and rivetted upon the country, to be shaken off only by another moral revolution, by
the ballot box. But whereYind another Jackson, with his superhuman intrepidity, his
moral courage, patriotism and disinterestedness? Alas! my countrymen, they will be
fixed upon us forever. With a Bank to support him, capable of controlling the whole
commerce and industry of the United States, of measuring the value of every man's
property, of raising and depressing that value according to its caprice or its interest, and
of holding at its mercy, the rights, privileges and liberties oi the whole American com
munity. How, with its inherent propensity and power, to bribe, and corrupt the pub
lic press, and buy up the votes of unprincipled politicians in and out of Congrcss--how,
I say, would it be possible to procure the independent and patriotic expression of the
public will? God forbid that that fatal moment should ever arrive, when this bad man,
this political Proteus, shall be elevated to the Presidential chair. The influence of this
modern Machiavel extends so far, that even the Legislatures of the States pause, to
know his wishes, and-await his nod, before they can venture to elect a Senator to the
Senate of the United Stales.
I have thus fellow citizens endeavored to strip the mask from the visage of our Repre
sentative, and to exhibit him in his real political character to your view. In so doing,
I here most solemnly affirm that I have been actuated by no personal dislike or preiu
dice to the man, but that my remarks have been intended to apply solely to the public
servant. Will any one presume to assert that a member of Congress is placed
above accountability, or shielded by office from the stricture or reprehension of the most
humble individual m the community? This would be to make him the master and not
the servant of the people. Not such is the understanding of Republicans of the institu
tions of our country, and thank heaven, the late attempt of the Federal party in the
Senate of the United States, to suppress the liberty of speech, as well as the by-gone
attempt by the same partv, in the well remembered times of the Elder Adams, to de
stroy the liberty of the press, has met the fate to which freemen who know the value of
their rights and slumber not, will ever consign them.
I think I have succeeded in convincing you fellow citizens, that this "Address" has
been circulated among you, to bring into disrepute and to mock and sneer you out of
your Republican predilections, to prepare your minds for the reception of Federal alias
Whig principles so detestable in themselves, so abhorrent to your deliberately formed
principles and cherished notions, and consequently for the purpose of arranging, at this
early period, a Whig triumph at our next election, and more especially at the Presiden
tial election in 1840.
I think I have shown beyond contradiction, that Mr. S. feels a deep-rooted hatred
and antipathy, to Republican principles and has heaped upon the professors and pos
sessors of those principles, unmeasured abuse and vituperation and with what view?
Do you believe him a Republican, either abstract or practical? Most assuredly not
I think you are now convinced, that Mr. S. is the ardent apologist of those danger
ous and murderous fanatics, who are using all the means, which circumstances may
place within their reach, to carry, fire, desolation and ruin into the peaceful abodes of
the people of the South, solely for political purposes. In lurther proot ot this, 1 reter
you to a letter of Mr. Stanly, to the Editors of the National Intelligencer, last winter,
which 1 regret I cannot now lay my hands on, but the substance of it is this: Mr.
Slade the leader of the Abolitionists in Congress, and the most unmitigated fanatic in
the United States, introduced some resolutions in the House, of the most atrocious
character, an infamous libel on the South, which Mr. S. says roused his indignation
and he immediately rose and offered some amendments to them. These amendments
were out of order and of course not received by the House. But mark! Mr. S. ex
presses great pleasure and gratification that his amendments (perhaps the only thing
during the session likely to do him credit) were not received, or that he withdrew
them, because he was convinced that Mr. Slade, in his vile resolutions meant no offence
to the South. Is he therefore their apologist or not? I entreat you to get this letter and
read it attentively, and then judge whether the charge is unjust or illiberal.
7b the Editors of the NaU InU Washington. Dect 14, 1838.
Messrs. Gales & Seaton; in the Intelligencer of this morning I find the following report:
Mr Slade introduced the followincr resolutions:
"Whereas there exists, and is carried on between the ports in the District of Columbia and other
ports of t he United States, and under the sanction of the laws thereof, a trade in human beings.
whereby thousands of them are annually sold and transported from said District to distant parts of

calls for the immediate interposition of legislative authority for its suppression.
"1 hereforej to the end that all obstacles to the consideration of this subject may be removed, and a
remedy tor the evil speedily provided,
"Resolved. That so much of the fifth of the resolutions on the subieet of slavery, passed bv this
House on the 11th and 12th of the present month as relates to the removal of slaves from State to

or paper, toachins the same, be, and hereby is rescinded."
After which, it is reported that "Mr. Dawson called for the reading of the resolution; which having
oeen again read, Mr. is 1 AN LY said he wished to introduce an amendment. The Chair said it was
aoi .now in order, the resolution not yet bewgin the possession of the House.'

To these questions a Republican of sound principles will respond, categorically yea or
nay, without shuffling, quibbling, special pleading or prevarication. By these signs
will ye know them. Watch, I say unto you again Republicans, watch. Give no
pledges to any man, but resolve firmly, and keep the faith committed to you by the
great apostles of Republican liberty, who have for more than forty years out of fifty,
conducted the ship of State safely, through the political storms and tempests, which the
old as well as the modern Federalists alias Whigs, have raised and excited, in order to
wreck and shatter her on the quicksands of party.
I warn you fellow citizens that a crisis, hurried on by the desperate designs, and dark
nnrl mvetprmns intrimies of the Federal party, is approaching, in our national affairs,
nrptrnnnt with the most ominous danger to our political prosperity and happiness and to
our llpniimirnn institutions, that this country has ever known. A desperate and most

one of them, I could not repress the indignation I felt at such language. It was under the influence
of this excitement that I wished to "introduce au amendment," when the "Chair said it was not now
in order."
The amendment I wished to introduce was in the words following:
"Resolved. That said resolution is disrespectful in its language, and outrageously insulting to the
"Representatives of the slaveholding States; that it is calculated to provoke and irritate the members
"from said States; and that the consideration of said resolution would be an 4outrageous violation'
of the respect due to the slaveholding States, and would necessarily tend to weaken the bonds of our
Unioni
"Resolved. That said resolution is 'disgraceful' to the member who presents it, as it evinces a total
"disregard of the feelings of the Representatives of the slaveholding States of this Union, and does
"not deserve to be considered by the House."
But the rules of order, different at different times, prevented me from introducing this amendment,
and I do not now regret it, as the resolution was not considered by the House, and as I have been since
satisfied that though the language sounded harshly to the ears of a Representative from the South, noth
ing offensive was intended, and I write this note now, that my constituents may be informed what my
amendment was; waiting for an hour of leisure, when I will inform them more fully why it was that
1 did not vote upon the resolutions recently ottered by a member irom New Hampshire.
I have good reasons for refusing to join in the miserable farce which has been played by the instru
ments of party in the House of Representatives during Tuesday and Wednesday last.

Swartwout and the Federal Press.
The following we copy from theCanandai-
gua Messenger of the 27th ult.
"It is but a short time since the Federal
press teemed with flattering encomiums on
the very man whom they now denounce as
'runaway sub-treasurer,' 'friend of the
Administration.' &c. In the soring of
1S37 the following article appeared in the
Ontario (N. Y.) Repository:
"Voters of the United States:
"Allow us to present for your suffrages
at the next Presidential election the fol
lowing strong team, combining legal
knowledge and mercantile talent of the
highest order, to wit:
"For President:
"DANIEL WEBSTER:
"For Vice President:
"SAMUEL SWARTWOUT."!!!
When this same Samuel Swartwout was
dismissed from the New York custom
house, the Whig merchants of that city
presented him with a service of plate!
Now what was all this done for? Why
these expressions of regard for a man whom
they now stigmatize as a "runaway sub-
treasurer?" But the particular regard of
the federalists for Swartwout's character
does not merely consist in the fact of his be
ing recommended as a suitable candidate
of their party for the Vice Presidency, nor
in the compliment paid him by the Whig
merchants of the city, but in the fact that
he presided at many of their meetings, as
well as being named among their list of
candidates for Congress. Let the peo
ple remember when they read the VVhig
charges of corruption against the Admi
nistration, that the greatest scoundrel of
the day the man by whom the Uni
ted States have lost more than a million
of dollars is a Whig, and has received
from his Federal partisans numerous testi
monials of their respect for his character.
Another Change. Col. Downing, Del
egate from the Territory of Florida, elected
as a whig, has lately avowed himself in fa
vor of the present Administration, as the
following extract from a recent circular of
his will show:
"As a Floridian, I am satisfied with this
Administration. And resolved as I am to
judge of every man's motives by his acts a
lone, and not by those charged against him
by his opponents, I shall believe those mo
tives pure, as long as their purity is evin
ced by good deeds. As to corruption with
which the Government is charged, I know
of no period ofiime, or portion of theworld,
m which in free Governments, similar
charges have not been made by the opposi
tion. But 1 am losing confidence in these
charges. I have heard them so long and
so often, and have as yet so little proof,
that like the shepherds in the fable, lam
incredulous to the cry. "
