dutv to ti;? South, and without regard to
consequence s.
It is a matter of deep regret, fellow cit
izens, that 1 cannot lay my hands on the
journals of the last Congress, to trace every
vote of Mr. Stanly .on every question in
which your rights anil interest were in
volved, and to exhibit io your view his
equivocal conduct in regard to those inter
ests, or rather his reprehensible abandon
ment of them, from his subserviency to
Federal order anil discipline. 1 he hun
dreds of thousands of dollars of the peo
ple's moncv, which he and his party has
squandered by wasting the lime of Congress
in stupid and vapid speeches, ana ny an
kinds of badgering in order to embarrass
the Government and to arrest the legisla
tive business ofthe American people, is
incredible. Many bills of the highest im
portance, reported on by both Houses and
some pissed through the Senate, were lost
by the union of Federal Whig and Conser
vative votes. A bill to protect the Gov
ernment from defaulters was thus lost.
A resolution to investigate the defalcation
of Swartwout, from the committee of ways
and means, was lost, by the prepondera
ting strength of Whigs, Conservatives, and
Abolitionists, over the Republican side.
This mongrel party were afraid that the
people would hear the truth of this villan
ous robbery and flight of Swartwout. You
must know that the Whigs and Conserva
tives of Western New York, met in con
vention and nominated Wcbsier for Presi
dent, and this robber Swartwout as Vice
President, and offered the ticket to the
American public, calling it a "strong
team." The history of the packed Whig
committee raised by this mongrel party is
already known to you, and need not be re
peated. Benton's bill for the armed occu
pation of Florida, which would have spee
dily finished the Florida war, &: prepared for
early settlement some ofthe fairest lands in
the world, leaving not a ihwuic muiau upUu
them was sacrificed in the same way.
It is curious to observe how this mon-
v 3 c.
party nave falsified (heir own declara
tors relative to M r. Van Buren. Thev
declared him unworthy of confidence, vet
on the Maine question, they almost unani
mously invested him with nearly the tin
h mi led pdvvers of a Dictator, powers
greater thaii any ever granted to a Pre
sident before. They endeavored to de
sroy his election to the Presiden
cy, while before llie people, by abusing
him as a non-committal man. This fjlse
hood has been notoriously exposed. No
man more willingly ever pledged him to
the great Republican cause, no mart ever
redeemed his oled
I bey charged him with being a bank man.
I bey openly admit this as a falsehood, by
now abusing him, and endeavoring to put
Him down, because he is hostile to a Na
"onl Hank. They charged him with ab
olitionism. They now acknowledge the
falsehood of this charge. They clnrged
him wilb being a high tariff man. Thev
now hate him, because he stands commit
'cd to bring down the revenue to "the
wants of Government, leaving the excels
m the pockets of the people, instead of col
lecting it by taxation.
Fellow citizens, I fear your patierrce is
nearly exhausted bear with mc a little
longer, and I will endeavor to conclude a
'ask, which is rendered difficult only from
the necessity of condensing, into a limited
p:ice, a wide field of reflections . and re
marks, and reducing them, to a few obvi
ous, plain and striking conclusions: a-
.... ...i. : i i . i t .
"UMgwnicn, l iinniv, you are convinced
tint the foifovving truths are establish
ed
1st, That the true issue before the people,
in the approaching Congressional election
is Van Huren or Clay.
2nd, That to vote for Stanly is essentially
to vote for Abolitionism. -
3d, That to vote for Abolitionism, is to
vote for the ruin of Southern interests, the
destruction ofthe Republican cause and for
the dissolution ofthe Union.
And now, fellow citizens, you can ensi
ly place before yon at one view, the pre
tensions of Dr. Hall, as well as those of Mr.
Stanly. They are as opposite as light is
from darkness. Remember that the liber
ties of nations have been often lost by the
infidelity and treachery ofthe Representa
tives of the people. Remember that the
sacred trust, you are about to repose in the
hands of your Representative is of im
mense magnitude, which may be exercised
either for good or evil; a trust that may he
happily used for the advancement of your
rights, interests and liberties, or abused by
the treacherous betrayal and abandonment
of those rights and interests, to the most
formidable coalition of factions ever known
in the history of a free people
Both of
these gentlemen have been public servants,
of their political course and conduct, of iht
manner in which they have dischargee
their duty to the people, you must judge,
Dr. Hall lias grown old and gray in your
service, what has been your judgment on
his ptiblic conduct? If I mit ike not, this
ho the highest reward, which a public ser
vant can receive: but now that the public
voice has called him out in a most critical
emergency; it is incumbent upon you io
mamlest your unimpaired confidence in
him, by the implied engagement, that every
Irceman and Republican, ought to consid
er, he has entered into, to sustain him by
his own particular vote at the ballot box.
Let every individual freeman, who is enti
tled to a vote, make it a religious and con
scientious duty to deposit it in the box; with
a single eye to the good of his country alone.
No panegyric or culogium on the conduct of
this old public servant can be higher, than
to say, that during his long course of public
service, he never gave a vote, which had
not for its object, the support of the const i
ttttion and Republican principles. He has
been tried, and the conclusion is satisfacto
ry, that Dr. Hall may safely be made the
depository,- of your confidence, and your
interests. In his political principles, lie is
with Mr. Van Buren, and is the determi
ned opponent of Henry Clay and abolition
ism. Mr. Stanly has served brie term in Con
gress. The natural intellect of this gentle
man, his own friends must acknow ledge,
io be of very moderate calibre; his judg
ment feeble and ordinary, his attainments
in the profound science of legislation very
limited, and his want of common discretion
and common sense notorious and palpable.
His mind seems to be constantly, in an un
natural state of ebullition and confusion,
defying repose or serenity. Apparently
placing no reliance on a very mediocre in
tellect, moderately enough cultivated and
disciplined, from the outset of his political
career and during the whole canvass, he
committed the profound mistake of enac
ting a factitious character, and yielded to
the delusive persuasion, that violent, va
pid, and unmeaning declamation, would
supply the place, of cool and dispassienate
argument; or that bold assertion, insinua
tion and misrepresentation were more

Vv dson by a few hundred votes. Pursuing
the same insolent; violent and extravagant
course in lhe p escnt canvassj he flit I en
himself no doubt that his re-election is cer

have mistaken public opinion? Is he a
lone ignorant of the deep indignation
his political course, Ins awakened in the
people? Even his friends kok with con
scious mortification and disappointment on
his unmanly subserviency to party ; on his
equivocal indifference to Southern interests,
and his willing sacrifice of those interests at
the shrine of the modern Moloch, the com
bined factions of Federalism, Whiggery,
Conservatism, and Abolitionism. No,
the illusion is past. To achieve his re-election
would surpass the labor of Hercules.
The people will never forget '-that he has
been tried in the balance and found want
ing." Is there a thinking man in the dis

Pause, 1 entreat you, my countrymen,
Republicans and Whigs. Pause and con
sider this enquiry: Are you willing to make
Edward Stanly again the depository of
your rignts and interests.''
If you ask for Mr. Stanly's political prin
ciples, seek for and find out the political
principles of Henry Clay you will then
know his. In political principles he is
with Clay and (though he himself may not
yield to abolitionism) it is evident that in
supporting Clay, he must inevitably sup
port Abolitionism. Mr. Clay is the head
ofthe mongrel parly of which Abolitionism
is an important element and his political
destiny is bound up with it.
The Representative from this district,
fellow citizens; must be the unequivocal,
inflexible, unchangeable enemy of Aboli
tion in sentiment and action. He must
meet it, in mortal fight, "hand to hand
and hilt to hilt," in Congress and out of
Congress, and combat it in every step of
its pi ogress. His opposition must be dead
ly his vote must be recorded always
against it. By a strict and just construc
tion of the constitution; its grim and hellish
visage can never find entrance within the
walls of Congress. The compromises
of the constitution must be held sacred;
and this diabolical ppirit must ever meet
the fate to which Atherton's patriotic reso
lutions consigned it, so lorigas the Repre
sentatives of the people are trite to them-!
selves and their oaths to support the consti-
! tution, true to equality of rights, and iust
to the South. Il is only when the legisla-
j Uve "alls, are polluted with abolition mem
hers, and aids and abettors of abolition
thai the peace and harmony of Congress are
disturbed with the bowlings ofthesedemons
in human shape.
Who will aver that Mr. Stanly's course
in Congress has been such as that prescri
bed in the above paragraph? WTho can de
ny that his votes have been recorded in fa
vor of abolition manoeuvres, and latent and
mischievous attacks upon the South?
None. Who will deny that Abolitionism
is an clement of the party that Air. Stanly
recognizes as his own. It is tod palpable
to admit of denial.
But Mr. Clay's organ, published in New
York, proclaims to the world that Mhe e

Mr. Howard: We sec the slanderous
abuse that the golden eagle which is pla
ced over the Senatorial chair in the Capit
ol of the United States, has received by
Mr; Stanly, merely because it is placed
over the head of a Republican Hero, who
has spent his life in defence of his country's
rights both in public and private life, and
defending the just rights of both church
ana State. We are not surprised to see
Mr- Stanly abuse every thing that is calcu
lated to benefit the public at large; but if
he could seethe noted Daniel Webster, or
the monopolising Clay, placed in the same
chair, and what they crave placed over
their head, the lion with his Federal mon
archical crown, we know it would both
suit and fit h?3 taste there would be ho
expense complained of then; though it
were made of godd and crowned with di
amonds at millions of expence to the Gtiv
ernment. Mr. Stanly seems to regret very much
at the United States supplying the Speaker
ofthe House of Representatives With so
fine a chair, and the V ice President with
so fine an Ornament over his head; bitt he
forgets that the third Congressional district
bfN. Carolina has placed a nuisance ia
Congress, drawing eight dollars per day,
who is only qualified to brawl & confuse the
House with nonsensical abuse and slander1
ous language, such as no gentleman should
pay any attention to, or trouble his ears
with. Wc think the people of the district
would be much better suited, if they would
send a man that would be found in his
place, when their greatest interest is at
stake, and throw in his mite to assist them;
and not leave the House as Mr: Staaly did
when Mr. Atherton's resolutions were ac
ted on. Then was the time he should
have shewn whether he was a friend to tho
South or not, w hen the main work of abo
lition was tried to be put down.
Now you sen he must be an abolitionist,

Mr. Stanly comments on the venerable
hero also, and says, that he sits tinder his
canopy and eagle as happy as Gov. San
cho, while the eagle appears to be trying
to wing his flight out of such company.
Poor bird! he calls him, fluttering like a
chicken in apprehension of a hot gridiron.
But if such men as Mr. Stanly were all that
he had to defend him, his apprehension
would soon be over, for he no doubt would
soon be wound up in the paws of the lion
