Mr. Fisher, then a member of the House of Commons, introduced
a preamble and eries of resolutions, one of which proposed to instruct
our Senators and Representatives in Congress, nol lo attend a meet
mg. w hich, it w as said, was about lo be held by the members of Con
gress, (or the purpose of recommending a suitable candidate for the
t residency. This meeting il was known, was about to be held by
the members of Congress, as private individuals, and not as members
of Congress; and nothing .lone at it, could have any biudin" force
upon the- people they would be at liberty to regard, or disregard its
proceedings, as they might think proper. Regarding the members of
Congress, so far as the anticipated meeting w as concerned, as private
individuals, I then believed, ami do now believe, that the Legislature
bad no more right to instruct them not to attend such meeting, than
it bad to instruct a parcel of private men in Northampton, o'r any
where else, not to attend any proposed meeting For although mem'
bers of Congress, (and when acting in theii legislative capacity, so
far as the Senators are concerned, subject to the inunctions of the
Legislature,) they nevertheless, possessed all the rights and privile
ges of other free citizens, which the lesolution in question, directly
attempted to abridge and control. Viewing the resolution in this
light, I considered it as arbitrary, dictatorial, and despotic, ami at va
riance with the genius and principles of our free institutions. It is

discard the doctrine, and the weight and influence of the people in
ihe operations of this goveru-neut will be no longer felt. And now
let me ask, what party is it that has manifested its disregard of thi
important doctrine? Have nol Lwiug," Freliughuvsen and Southard,
Lei"h and Mangum, all belonging to the Opposition, treated it with
contempt? And are they not encouraged in their course by my polit
ical opponents, boih in this district and throughout ihe Union.
H ave not most of ihe leading papers in the cause of the Opposition
taken the ground, that it is unconstitutional for ihe Legislature of a
State to instruct its Senators in Congress, and bitterly declaimed
against the doctrine; if I mistake not, the Roanoke Advocate, the
mouth-peace of mv political opponents, has joined in the cry against
the doctrine of instruction, and yet that paper has been made ihe
organ for republishing my speech. Has not my competitor acted as

1 will avail myself of this opportunity of placing before you in a
true IM.t, but one other subject to which your attention has been
Is? .i it;nrr plertiou. I mean the question of th? Presidency.
?aKStfX ciho pUic life Ihave .ided i,U ,he Re-
ipublican party. I have shaped my course accordinK lo the best
light ol my understanding with a view to sustain the .prim iples and
promote the success of that party, which is rr. st likely, in m opin
ion, to preserve our civil institutions, and perpetuate that liberty
transmitted lo us by our ancestors. That the principles ol the Fed
eral party are at variance with the genius and spii it of our govern
ment, and unfavorable to liberty, we know hy experience. For the
Federal party in the administration cf John Adams, styled thi lltign
of Terror, attempted a system of policy, which hud it not bee'n over
thrown by Mr. Jefferson who succeeded him, would ere this, hr.ve
changed the whole character of our government. The auwdgau.a
ting policy of Mr. Monroe facilitatedhe elevation of John Quiucy
Adams to the Presidency, who soon evinced some ol those high to
ned doctrines cherished by bis father. During these iwo administra
tions the principles of ihe grand American System, were sochtrisbed
thai ii threatened to become the settled policy of the government.
But as Mr. Jefferson superceded the policy attempted to be eslab:Mi
ed by the elder Adams, so General Jackon has shattered to pieces,
that misnamed American Systun, which the younger Adams va
desirous of rivetting upon ihe country. Under his administration the
Foreign relations of the country have been put upon the most favora
ble footing. Some difficulty has occurred it is true, in oi r negotia
tion with France, but it will, ii is believed, soon be settled confident
ly with the honor and interest of both nations. The Indian tribes
have been removed beyond the Mississippi, thereby acquiring a
large quantity ol land to ihe United Stales, and obv iating the dmiger
ol a collision between the general goernment, and State authorities,
in extending their jurisdiction over the territory possessed hv the
Indians; the Tariff has been reduced; the doctrine oflnteiutl Im
provement, has receiv ed a salutary check; and the Bank of the- Uni
ted States, is now quailing beneath his noble, magnanimous, and
patriotic efforts to prevent its recharter, and thereby preserve fhe pu
rity of our civil institutions Irom ihe contaminating influence, of a,
mor.ied monopoly; and the whole country presents a scene of unpar
alleled prosperity and happiness; the predictions of the panic orators
and of the Opposition to the contrary notwithstanding.
This view of the principles and tffects of ihe two great parlies
which have so long divided the country, has sincerely mtarhed me lo
the Republicans. And hence I have heretofore declared, at an ear
ly period of the canvass, that I should as a private individual, give
my support to that candidate who should be taken up by the Repub
lican party; but incase I should b- elected, and the election should
go to the House of Representatives. 1 would vole for that candidate
who should be the choice of a majority of the district. That if Mr.
Van Buren, or any other man, should be taken up by the Republican
party, and Judge While be run by the Opposition, vtilh a view of di
viding and defeating the Republican party, of which there are strong
indications, I should vole for Mr. Van Buren, or the Republican can
didate. Indeed the design of the Opposition in running Judge
White to produce division, and defeat the Republit mi party, has been
so clearly evinced, and has so withered bis prospf.cts, that it is said
some of the Opposition prints hav e hinted at the pi eject of a Caucus
during the nexi Congress, in order lo bring out soir.e other candidate,
Mr. Clay perhaps; while others insist, that the only ehance of success
for the Opposition, is to multiply the number of crndidates, so as to
defeat an election by the people, and carry it to e House of Repre
sentatives; where the gold of the United States Bank, may have pow
erlul influence, and perhaps secure the election of its attorney and
champion Daniel Webster. The New York Stfor, an Opposition pa-'
per, edited by Noah, says, "Our strength is in multiplying our Pre
sidential candidates, so as to insure an election by Congress. We
have with this view encouraged the nomination of Mr. Webster in the
North, .Mr. Clay and Gen. Harrison in the Wi st, and Judge White in
the South." The Boston Atlas, also an opposition paper, remarks
that a Webster meeting was held at Worcester, Massachusetts, and
that "A series of resolutions was offered by Mr. Kennicut of this town,
which he supported in an able and efficient speech. Mr. K. spoke of
the prospects of Mr. Webster as scarcely inferior to those of any oth
er candidate for ihe Presidency. He did not believe any person
would be elected by the votes oi the Electoial Colleges, but that the
choice would go into the House, where Mr. Webster would be safe."
Mr. Bul ges, ol Rhode Island, has avow ed similar sentiments, and ex
pressed the wish that an election might never more be made by the
people, but always by the House of Representatives. Such indica
tions as these, have caused Mr. Phelan, a member of the Alabama
Legislature, who voted for resolutions conditionally nominating
Judge White, and it is probable will cause the State of Alabama, to
give up the Judge, in order to prevent the election from devolving on
tht House of Representatives, where the will of the people will be
defeated as in Adams's election.
But the manner in which Mr. Van Buren has been nominatpd has
been objected to. On this subject it may be remarked, that it is cer
tainly as free from objection as the bringing out of Judge White by
a Congressional Caucus of eleven of the Tennessee delegation. Be
sides the Tennessee friends of Judge White and Mr. MrDufiie have
heretofore been the advocates of such meetings as the Baltimore Con
vention, when friendly to the election of Gen. Jackson. Such men
ought to be good authority with the Opposition.
Again it is said by the Opposition for effect, for they cannot be
lieve it, that Mr. Van Buren is in favor of the abolition of slavery,
and connected with the fanatics of ihe North. If the fanatics are in
favor of either candidate, it is likely Mr. Webster; w hose success the
Opposition here are likely to promote by the course they are pursu
ing. The truth is, Mr. Van Buren and all good men both ol the
North and South, are opposed to the conduct of the fanatics, and to
any interference by Cougress with the question of slavery. In a let
ter to Mr. Guinn, Mr. Van Buren says, speaking of slavery, "The
subject is, in my judgment, exclusively under the control of the State
governments; and I am not apprized, nor do I believe that a contrary
opinion to an extent, deserving consideration, is entertained in any
part of the United States. This must be, with all frank and candid
men a complete refutation of tjae attempt lo connect him with the
abolitionists and fanatics.
Most of the either charges againt Mr. Van Buren are equall y un
founded. He was an able and energetic supporter of the last war
and has pleded himself, if elected, to withhold his sanction from any
bill rechartering the Bank of the United Stales in a word, to carry
out the leading measures of Gen. Jackson's administration, which has
produced iuch happy results.
