of the administration who oppose the

ty, and with seeming reproach, has
kindly extended to them his clinrjty,
and more than intiiuHtesiat they ought
to give up their opiniotii the majority
of their friends, slr, that smaU"priy

which the whole party maintained but
a short time since, and the difference

deed a smalt party, and should, in that
account, have been protected from the
aiiparert sneer of the Senator from
New Mainpsire, when he said tliey had
aunied the name of tkConiervuiict$M
M'liether that name has been assumed
by them, or has been given to them, I
will not atop to inquire. This much,
however, I will venture to affirm, that
we shall be as well satisfied with that
appellation, as the gentleman and Tiis
friend will be with the name of "5ut
ttrvativtt," ', with which they have been
honored, and with how much justice,
I leave to their-ielvea to determine.
Sir, this small party haa been not , in

and let me tell those gontlemen who
have reproached them with the pecu

city of Uieir numbers, that when they
are asked to lay down their arms, they
will give I he Spartan answer "Come
aid take them." Sir, mv colleague,
from the peculiarity of hia own posi
tion, should have seen the indel.cacv
of commenting upon ours. .The lime
has. been when he has bee A left in a
smaller minority of his political friends

the justice fee say, that his opinions on
all matters in difference, have always
coincided with the Executive and.
had the Executive seen fit to recnm
mend the .resuscitation of Stale Bank
deposite aya'em, instead of lho; Sub
Treasury," we should have seen my
colleague, with my friend from Virgin

his faithful . troops, and instead of
the golden banner under w hich he is
how fighttny against the institations cf
uie states and tin right of the Stairs.
he would have raised aloft the stars

of those rights, and uader that sign he
would have conquered and the man
who should have had the rashness to
introduce the Suh-Trensnry Scheme in
opposition to the Iterative recommen
datioit, would have lounn himself with
not even a corporal's guard.
Mr. President, the constitution
guarantees the liberty of speech and of
the press but, under the present sys

abrogation of both, 'Die Executive

Mr. President, I have spoken with

which Mhe jGovernmenr'is 1 bound to

hat aided to bring upon them. I have
aeen the Executive enter, upon a art-

I aver, in the fare of the American peo
"pie, that there i no came for .the con":
tiouance of the distress under which
the couutry now labors. It is in the
power of the administration to remove it
by its simple fiat. - litis war upon the

would spring up on every side to glad

to the people of this country, if I could
flatter myself that my voice would
reach them, rouse from your lethirgyi
burst the Lilliputian ties that bind you j
walk forth in the "dignity of freemen
and teach your public servants that
you will not silently submit to have

caprice of any man or set of men, whom

warn you to beware of the Idks or
