Mr. HARDIN'S SPEECH.
The following very4sihgular paragraphs
appear in Mr. Hardin's speech on Mr.
Adams' Resolution relative to the loss of
the Fortification Bill. ' i
In this approaching election, the jprorld will
bear witness that Kentucky, amongst her other
treat virtues, boasts the nrnud nn nF Rri'iiiUU
I know that one of her sons in whom she is well
pleased, lias been selected, toruif onthe Van
Buren ticket for Vice President. Tb is a New
York manoeuvre: it is sop to Jo wlerj Kentucky
will not hite at the bait. ; We would delight to
do honor to the candidate for Vice Pres-dent ,
he has also won his fame in deeds df noble dr
inert but he must recollect that !f man mmp9
a woman below him in the grades of society, he
elevates her to his level i if above him, he brings
her down to his own cast. So is the fate of the
candidate for Vice Pres dent.
In the same speech -also appears this
very singular paragraph:
"When the wnr is raging in Florida with all its
horrors, and in its most frightful forms, ami we

The gentleman from Massachusetts says we

of man-worshin alludincr to his
General Jackson. I do not believe thai m
gentleman ever accused him of such devotion,
to any man or any friend in the wnrM as tk q.
munt to man-worship. Cajsar, Bon iparte, and
Washington were said never to forget a fairor
or desert a friend : if any nerson has vp rh.rr.,1

that every word of the paze was so mar

verse, which reads in the words follow

"The speech of Mr. Rencher, of N.
C, on the contested election case from
that State, is very highly spoken of, by
those who had the pleasure to be present
when it was delivered.- The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot
speaks of Mr Rencher as a firm, honest,
upright, independent man, evidently pos
sessing great legal ability, and .forensic
talents of no ordinary stamp. This is
high,but deserved praise. Mr. Rencher
is worthy of. the confidence and esteem of
his constituents."
Br Franklin was once a member of a
body, in which it was contended that a

Previous notice having been given in the
Salem 4 Chronicle,' a numerous! and res
pectable meetinarof the citizensUfStnke
County, friendly to the election if HUGH
L. WHITE, ofTennessee, for President
of the United States, convened at the
Court-House irt Germanton, on the 16th
of March,;l8S6, for the purpose of adopt
ing suitable measures for promoting the
success of the White Ticket, and for no
minating a candidate for Governor.
On motion, George Brooks, .Esq. was
appointed President of the meeting, Mr.
Samuel Flippin and Major Wm C.Cole
Vice-Presidents, and Wm. H. Lyon and
Gidi-on.E. Moore, Secretaries, i
The meeting being thus organized, the
President requested Col. i Matthew R.
Moore to exolain the nhiert
ig, who rose and made a lengthV address
... w.viii, luibiuic anu inreuicrenr mn-
, mail-
ner, explaining the motives of the meet
ing, contrasting the motives of Martin
anBuren's political career and Unfitness
for President of the United Stales, with
Vvi & cons!stent course which Judge
White has always pursued, ndUhe pro
priety of electing him to that important
station exposing the dangerous conse
quences ot Uaucusses, and the indispen
sable necessity j that the people: now, as
m 1824, should rise in the majesty of
their strength and put them down j and
enforcicg with convincing proofs, that it
is the duty of all who value the principle!
ot avil liberty, to oppose the increasing
influence of Executive patronage, which!
it is believed, will be augmented to a
fnghtlul degree by the election of Van
Buren.
Resolutions were then introduced by
ConstantineL. ; Banner, Esq, and, after
havinj; been read, Col Moore moved that
they be adopted : but said, that before
the question was taken for their adoption,
he hoped that a gentleman who was then
in the meeting, and who had always been
on the Jackson Electoral Ticket of this
State, would favor the meeting with his
views on the approaching Presidential
Election.
The gentleman alluded to, John M.
Moreheat , Esq; being called for from all
parts of the house. rn ..! 1
thcmeetuigin a very animated, able and
appropriate speech, to do justice to which
in this report, would be impossible. He
reviewed the course pursued by Van Bu
ren and the spoils parly," and their
ridiculous inconsistency in assuming to
themselves the whole democmrv nf n,0
country. He said that he had vhted fnr
wen. Jackson in 1824. iRoo UU i ioo
against Amg Caucus, and that he would
voieror Jud2e White and against King
Caucus m 1836.
In the course of his remarks he observed
that the Van Buren nrints had
eiter saul to have been writf kt-
Jackson, approving of the Baliimore Cau
i.u, wiiicii nominated Mr. Van Buten
and Col. Johnson, which he believed must
be a base forgery j if not, that Gen.Jack
son ha.l changed his princinles. for all
knew that the General and all his fri.entU
yele opposed tp Caucus in 1824. and that
the monster had been put down by him
that if King Caucus was a monster in 1824
he is a monster in 1836 that it is per
fectly consistent for the friends of the
Caucus now to surjport Mr. Van Buren,
as he was the Chairman of the Congres
sional Caucus in 1823, which nominated
Mr. Crawford; but that original Jackson
men should support him, was too absurd
to be acknowledged. And in fine, he
pourtrayed the inconsistency of the Van
Buren party with hii usual ability, and
with such striking evidences of troth, that
the meeting: fredueritlv resnnnded
hearty cheers. ; .
The fol! owing Resolutions were then
unanimously adopted :

the election of a successor to the present Chief
Magistrate of the United Stat
ol the people on whom this duty devolves, have
ici.iu.cu 10 cunsuu upon, anu to devise the
means best calculated to insure the success of'
that individual whose promotion we are seeking
to advance. Btit before taking any action upotl
the subject, it my not be deemed useless or in
appropriate to express briefly the reasona which
have induced us to espouse the cause of our fa
vorite candidate. In a country so vart and ex
tensive as ours there will, almost inevitably, be
many complicated.and oftentimes conflicting in
terests, which, it Will require the most profound
wisdom, and the purest patriotism in our Ruler J
to make bear with an equal weigh! upon 'fheVdif.
fetent portions of our great confederacy. In
such a country, it is natural to expect, indeed Jt
can hardly be otherwise, that each great divif-1
ionof the country will strive to place thosjpn "i
power, whose principles of general policy are
most consonant, or at any rate, are least adverse
totht-irown particular interests. Nor is the ;
feeling which urges to their conduct, tobe al
ways deprecated.. It is the self-love of commu
nities, which, like that of individuals when pro-
perly regulated, in seeking its own particular
happiness, contributes most eff ectually to the
prosperity and hapi ,ess of all. Applying this
principle to the pretensions of the only two Cab-,
didates, whose names are promimently before the
people of this State, let u - see . which . of them
has the greatest claim to our consideration and
support. . - .mm'
No great question of National policy has here- j
tofore, or will probably hereafter more engage
the public attention, or excite the public fed- j
Snglhnn that of ihe Tariff for protection. It mi
our present purpose to discuss the vnerits of this
quefction.' We believe indeed that but one sen i
timent in regard to it, pervades almost the entire, j
South - thai it is universally esteemed as unequal j
and unjust, bearing hurdlv upon the agricul "i
turists for the benefit and protection of the man-,
utacturers. lH6w then dots Judge White and
Mrs Van BoreiV stand affected towards us. upon
this great apd. vital question? If we are to judge
them by the only true the scriptural text their
fruits, we must pronounce that the first is for,
and the latter against us. Judge: White has
uniformly voted against the tariff, whilst JUr. Van
Buren has uniformly voted for it. ' And yet shall
we prostrate the man, who lias always fought
and is still ready to fight, by our aide, while we
elevate our political enemy and sing hall elujaha
to his glory for his triumph over us ; But say
