' A lVguUilivs body, under our CofPtitution, has no right lo act withmit recording its action tha of iti constituents and, like man who walk in Ihe now, it cannot obliterate it footstep, without leaving other! equally palpable. But, Mr. Speaker, I deny the (institutional ri(ht of the 8enat of the United Statu lo expunge uy thing from tit Journal which Ihey Imv pub liiiiflj an genuine. Tb Constitution declare thai "each II'hj aliall keep Journal of ila proceed ing, and from lime to lima publish the same and tS Yeas and Nays of the members of either lI'Hise . on any question shall, at lite desire of mm fifth of thMe present, bo orrtered on the Journal. JNow air, in Ilia name of all' the people of he Hiale, .'- who are part to that compact, I reinonstrale SgiiiM any mutilation by the rV-nate of that hito ry whirh it haa put forth to the country, a lite record of it transaction. To secure the moat fiil accountability, and to eipoan the conduct pot merely of ihe whole body, but of every iwli- - vidual composing it, to the public scrutiny, Ihe searching spirit freedom baa demanded Ihese Journal to be kpt. Out of what avail ia it, that . they ahall b kept aid puUndnnl, if at any time, ' even yere afterward, a Senate constating of lite aame or diuereiit nteinbar, may vary or alter it at pleasure. Independently of the falsehood which might thua be iiiterpohttod in the hiatory of the country, what facilitiea for decejition would it afford for a poodle and demagogue f If they can et punge by in) ruction from ua, limy can do m with out it; and if they can erase, it will hardly be doubted that they can alao uwert. whenever, therefore, it ia discovered that any measure ia un popular, the Yeaa and Naya may be atruck out on motion, though recorded year ago, ao a to leave the acta of individual entirely lo conjecture ; or thayele may he changed, or fictions inefrted, o a lo make a patriot .or tmitor of any public man aocordinir to the wuhee and purprwea of the party in power. If th-y can eipunge the procwdini of the laat aeamim, bow are they to he hiiMlertMl from blotting out the proceeding of the Adminiiitratioii -of Waahineton. To ipmrd the pile from impo- 'itiona and dnceptiona like theae, the provision of thf CuoaUtutioa but nottoisd waa ntmw. It ia one of Ihe many propomtion which a Constitutional oatb bind the conscience to maintain. But we are now required to command our Senator in dm g reaa, not merely (aa I bave before shown) to re tract an opinioo aolemnly and deliberately expreaa- ed on a Conli(utiiaI quoation, but doulJy to vio. late bia oath, by an eraaare of the Journal.

It ia well known lo all who read our paper, and who know Judge Gaston, that we differ with him on some political points, unt merely of expediency, but involving cardinal principles, Of course, as we believe that aria- rip', not men, ahould be our first consideration in the selection of a President, ws would prefer some on wboe political sentiment coincide with our own. If we cannot get such an one, here is not a man in tha Union whom we would Dfefitr to 3uJir U. tndo- ralist, he may tie called, he is a man who never cring ed, and, spaniel like, cniuched to thoae in power; but lias ever dared to think and ipeah and set a a avia bearing the impre hi maker, He poaaeawn talents hardly aicond to any; hia men tal attainment are uiuuruaaaed ; hia patriotism ia purs and fervent; hi private character ia without blemish ; and bis moral worth, cotirtioua, yet amcere demeanor, and amartentatiouachrwtianity added to Uioae attributes, conatitule an assemblage of excellencies rarely to be met with. Who would not prefer euch a man to the whole tribe of paraaiU-a, who have nothing to recommend them but an implicit du vol ion to the idol of the day, who profea to be Hlate-Kighl men, yet suprt the arch enemy of those rights in every attack he makes upon them who profess to be RrpuMirani, yet Uj)ioId Uie President in mcasurea Uiat would even cost tlie King of England his crown, if not his head ! But it aeeint, from present indication, that we cbona our next President from the ranks of those who have sustained Gen. Jackson In his lawless acta? ' Why not at once make him ruler for life, with the remainder to Tom, Dick, or Harry, and their appointees! If the Whigs of tlie country -thoao who have battled, shoul der to shoulder, to curb tlie power of the Executive, should now give up, and assist in electing a President from tlie Jackson party, how can they liope ever to re store Uie principles they will thus sacrifice 1 "TO THE PEOPLE OF THE U.
