not about to detain the House as long as the

high praises upprj the ! ne w Senator J from
Ohio (Mr Tappari,) Mr :Van Burtnj and

this, and to a 'celebrated lletter written by

I aubmittf d roost cheerfully to Ihi3 ; and
I took the liberty of Interr'itpting the eriilfr
tnah, and asking him; how many abolition
ists there were among the democrats in of
fice. To which he replied, with a pomp
ous elevation of toip, and with a cotifi
detice which evidenlljr defied contradiction,
that they (abolitionists) did not 'beloogj'to

their, trusty and well beloved brother in de

want to show thVm what a democrat in Of

country and their constituents Towards
the latter part of the letter the writer says i

Thej representative: from Hamittdn eoun

m the democratic' family. !Has; he ever
seen; the letter, of ihederoocraiicsab-Treas-ury
candidate for Governor, in Massachu
setts, in whicjliiie says,- I deem slavery to
he the greatest curse and the most porten
tous evil which a righteous God ; ever in
flic ted upon a nation !" and, ike thia good
democrat, hejis opposed to the admission
of any new State whose Constitution tol
erates slavery" for he says : r - '
; jln relation to the admission; of hew
Stales, with Uie power to bold! slaves, I
need do no more than to refer! you to my

severe in, i would doubtless have proved
successful butjfor the extraordinary influ

(Henry Clay,) who was supposed by some
to have respfledUo exiraorJinary means to

It j is amusing to see how we 1 these ab
