oj the Peupti? nay, we have worse, a
sh idiefiil, corrupt, and corrupting oligarchy.
The genili man from Pennsylvania ( lr.
Burliin in') gays that the Senate is merely
called upon to r judge its own justice in
other words, to determine whether the; -pinion
it exjir ssed was correct or not, j But
is this true?) Is lint the act -to which the
majority of the Senate is now proceeding
irso, it werie but an expression of opinion
adverse to optni"ns heretofore expressed by
a former roHjonty, and entirely cons:steot
with gentleinanly intercourse aud fecjingj
But no such; thing No, it is placed, and it!
is pressed, ais a vote of censure and oppro-i
btuin upon the former majority. The gen-j
tleman frotb Pennsylvania, it seems, bncej
intended it should asatiuic a form couslstent
L with the coiirttsy and piopriety of legtsla
live bodies, i tie promised the striking out
of the obnoxious word 'expunge,' atid so
the resolution was to have pusseu; and. what
sliong motive, or strong offence, could jhave
indui ed theSSeoator to abandon his cohcili!
tory course,! and again poison ihe resolu
tion with insult and reproach? What,(httik
you, could have so driven htm from his
propriety? j Whr, truly a Senaloi fromjMas
sachuseltSi some two years since, movod tp
lay the expunging resolution, when so a
mended, on, the table; that was the msUlt: a
motion to lay a resolution 011 the table . is
the mighty insult which swells the heaits of
gentlemen almost to bursting with patriotic
indignation, & which justifies all this harsh
and ruthless violence.- Hence the worn
expunge' in the body ot the resolution.
Hence a recital charged with as harsh and
injurious iuiputation as gentlemen can use
towards each other, if not more haish) and
more injurious. The Senator from Penn
sylvania say 8 he wished to be saved th ne
cessily of compelling the Senate to vote
'Hi is stigma: upon themselves. Who, I astc,
gavehiiii1& those with whom he ai ts,power.
and who gave them impunity, to fix stigmas,
or compel stigtn is, upon men, in all tnings

detei mined jtbat a resolution in any form in
consistent iwith the resolution of March,

ho are now his trust
to which command we have all sworn obe
dience. J will not touch the miserable so-
jphistry by which gentlemen attempt to ovale
the meaning, atid wiest the sense of this
provision ol the Constitution: it does not
0
merit a reply
Tnc Constitution of Pennsylvania is sub
stantially copied in tins particular from the
Constitution of the United States; (ike that,
it contuns- a provision that both Houses
shall keep a journal. The Senalor from
Pennsylvania, many years ago, while- a
member of one branch of the Legislature,
moved a resolution declaring that it was a
violation of the Constitution lo expunge
any thing from tha journal once entered
there, j He .is of the same opinion still; and
he proposes to be consistent, and yet vote
for expunging dat is entered n the jour
nals of this body, under .a precisely similar,
constitutional provision. Could onv man
who had not heard htm conjecture! how this
could be done? The word expunge hashe
says, a literal, and it has also a metaphori
cal meaning, and the records of the Senate
are to be expunged metaphorically. What
a f.ire, if its atrocity would permit us to
look iiijnn it as a siil'ii-ct of ridicule ? But
who could avoid smiling, even in tho mids-t
of bitterness to see the array of authorities
vvhiv'h the erudite Senator adduced to show
lhat the word cxpunoe' is us-d metaphori
cally in cases where it cannol h ve a literal
application? He has shown us examples iii
which pood writers ?peak of expunging
foniH of government, systems of I religi on.
Seine vict-sof men "illcleaily metaphorica',
known at ouch to bo so, because thy are
not susceptible of the liter! St physical ap
plication d'tlie term You cannot draw a
black line over, nor cin you draw bjlark lines
around, a irl of government' , for yo 1
cantini t-u-ii it or ham le it. tbokicrh yo i
may mar its m.metry and drstov ltssttength;
nor can y-u iak physical, tani ble hold of
systems of religion or of human vitcsjhence
the terms you apply to them are ncessarily
metaphorical, whether you expunge uproot.
or demolish them But if you expunge a
m s
writing which is on paper, or uproot a tree
or shrub, or demolish a building, the words
then have their literal meaning, capable on
ly of literal, physical application; and Jie
who pretends to use1 it under such circum
stances metaphorically, rests the wjnild Irom
its true use. and "ivs it e false aripucation.
Expunge metaphorically ! The j disquisi
tion of the learned gentleman reminds me
of the death of two doughty heroes in a fa-
R ipe of
pel led to go onward, against all those feel
ings and motives whih should direct the
actions of the legislator and the man. Why
do I see around me so many pale feautures
Pand (lownckst eves, unless it bb that re-
peutaiice and remorse go hand in-hand
with the perpetration !bf the deed ? I had
rather stand with the minority ; yes, I
wouhj rather, a thousand times, tand alone,
powerless 1 but conseience-free, than to
widjd the strength of, Ian empire, on the
hard .conditions on which it is placed in
their hau ls. I ;
B' t this scene is passing, and will soon
have passed not to be re-called the deed
is to jbe done, and you and we must sub
mit bur acts to ar (enlightened Public,
whose judgment will be. a foretaste of the
judgment $t posterity. .To lhse I bow
with submission aud j hope, but not wi b
unwavering confidence of the future. Hie
fame nf those vho have joined in this strug
gle for the Constitutjojn depends upon the
final success of constitutional goyernincnt.
If that prevail and endure ; if the clouds
thaliovershadow its prospects pass away.

no! power but his was known, the -venal

their country to the lajst, and were at Ist

"The writer of the above extract might
as well have slated tliat Capt- Jones had
