I have i hitherto -been cotiteut to rest Ujion the reasons foi my "action,-. ducJait'd on the floor of the House, or sfanJ mI -inly Uiou trie recoid ; I had ma U' by my vote?.1 ' , The ie;isons ' for doing so now arise from the I'teakiug down of lbeiold wall : which divided ipiirties the itew ele ments which liive "veil mingled into Our uatiorrat olitics ,the alarming isms ' ncjw distinctly form.'d in the country the perirthat thrtiateiis the very exist ence of our insiittifiotis, and thai solemn dnty which rests upon every ' Uepiesen- tative who would deal fairly with hi -jvople, to declare, frankly, his present positions and his future intentions. I should be unwoithy of the high trusts von h:t vtr-r.n i i fif I I tn m v leeenin? un- . j 1 -r-c worthy of the kiudness and confidence you have so generously lavished upon me unworthy of my native (State unworthy of the regard of good men, it I should shrink from the perfohnance of this duty now. i . We have had a most exciting and protracted struggle in the organization of the House. I have voted uniformly for the Uemocrutic nominees for the speakership.. For this I am charged with t the betrayal of the V big party, and. with an abandonment of the prin ciples upon which I. was elected. And who is it that makes, these charges? Is it the old-line Whigs? I have not heard of an old-line Whig, either in my district or elsewhere, , who does not in dorse my course, i These charges are made by the Know Nothing press of my State, anil by anonymous Know Noth ing srribblers, the latter of whom, nev er having had an honest motive them selves, have no conception of the thing in others. Thby charge me with be- traying the Whig party ! They who .1. . I . z. . 1 ! l ut-tuy OJ ii u hi ii cil ( tiiist-i, ciini uj sasr 'mated it in the 'dark they who come torth from their conclaves, with their hands dripping wiih its blood i they t.who met at Piiiladelpl ia ir con vention, a i id vaiitjlingly proclaimed its death with jJiarisairal affectation of pstityrd chie that they are not ure- sponsible' 'for its nbnoxions arts and violated pledges f. that it has "elevated sectional hostility into a positive ele ment of political power, and brought our institutions ! into peril. " Y s, while 1 Maud a cmnnniH the grave of ....... .B the Whig party, they are rejoicing at its death and ' calumniating its li'e ! B ' Yet these; me?! have the unblushing hardihool to twit me with abandon ment aClht once noble party ! Was even impudence more gigantic and more ' absurd? k " " - ,t ' But it is soraetimos softly and gently whispered that tine American party is the .Whig parly in disguise.- If this in so, they have solemnly declared a lie in their " conventions, and it .is: a cheat .' and a fraud upon the lV-mocrats in tht order. they h ive either abandoned their jtarty, and have no right to abuse me, or ate engaged in a fraud which makes their abuse a compliment.- I ted these gentlemen that they have slain . my first love, and left me a political widower ; and 1 have, a perfect irighi to marry another party1 if I see proptfi ! I am charged with having abandon, ed tho ' principles upon .which ! I was elected ; Does. not evpry man in my .distiict know that the Kansas-Nebraska question was thu controlling issue in my last canvass 7 Does , not every man know that it was my position ! on this issue that gave me my large majority hi -a Democratic district Does not every man know that I obtained as many D. mocratic votes as I did Whig' ones? Does not every man know that I decla- . red my principles, in a speech delivered in th. House of Representatives, on the 7th of A"pfil, 185 1 ? To stop the mouths of my accusers I will give an I extract from that speech. 1 1 said then,;, speak ing of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, that ) 'l will not pause ton g to dwell Uior . its party'effect ; for, in my judgement, the questions involved override all par 1 fy considerations, : If is true, this bill - is. preseited" us as an administration measure. It is true -that I am here as : a Whig; -but I am not here to give this An mil list rat ion a" factious opposi-i 'tion. .1 am not hereto oppose any mt-asure-brought forward by it, mere-' ly because it is brought forward by it, ,. I am here, uncommitted to blind Of- position or a bluid support, to follow to he end" th? dict.ues of my own judg v mp,rt and conscience, and the will of those .who sent me. ; "In this itistaiKe I believe the Adminis tration has take n hii?h liaiional ground ; that u feas plar.tel hself upon , a great American principle the principle '.of self-givernm-Mir ; n jrineiple i ivolved in none ofur pa. ty issues; a principle up on whieh all Round, national meir of all parties may- mc-t and sland, as mdou eroniKt alike, cherished and ahkpiicxr It was this principlt ingrafted in th" compromises of 1850, ' that commended them so warmly to the American heait ; ii was this principle which was ratified hv both parties in their conventions at Ualtinioie, and it is lor mis principle sDeak to-dav. "Sir, this is no war between the Ad rniui tration and its opopnents no war letween Whigs ai.d Democrats as such: but, disguise it as you may, xtts a war betwem Free-Smlism on the one hand, and the right of the people to self-go vernment on the other. n . " Uuou these declarations I went into the canvas. I was elected then, declar i g that the principles -of the Kansas Nebraska bill ''were deare' than any party consider ations" "a principle upon which all good men of all par ties might meet and stand, as upnu ground alike . cherished and alike dear ; that they... "overrode all party eonsideralivns.V Being, thus elected, .when I caiue to cast my first vote fi Speaker, I found that . neither the South Americans," nor the Black Re publicans, had lain down any platfoim the were fighting shy, running with a margin. -The D'-mociats bad a plaifoi in, and ,t was this: "' Rcsolred, That the U'incralic nit-mhtr, wf h lli-iisf of K-.rt-M'Hiaiivrs. though in a lent iirary iiiinoiilv in tliiM t-iy. dvfin tUi fit c-mion to Ifiirlt-r to ihfir IVIIow-ciii.cn oft lie lii ill- Union ilieir liinnft-lt constauilmionn m lie triiiniili in the rvciit li-ciiotiK in nfvcral in ' lit? northern. - ea irn, and WHtt-rn, s well Miutlicrii States of th-rt-inrilea ofili Kanutit NVIirai-kii bill, and tin- ilncirinfM of civil and re li'inis lib- rty, wliicii liav. .

Know Noihi"t! or t-ustonists ; and to ttii . lid f lock w tli confiii-nce to the MiMirl and npproliatiin of all good and true men- friend ol he CoiiHiituiion and Union throughout the coun try." It will be seen that there are only two planks in this platform. -The oue, in favor of the principles of the Kansas .Nebra.ska bill the very principles upon which I was ie-t lected, and the other against the prosciiptiveuess uf Know Nothingisrn. 13ea r in mind the fact that, when I was elected, . there were no Know Nothings in my district that I was not one. And now, may I not ask, if there is a single honest and intelligent mail in my distiict who believes that I have "abandoned the piiuciples upon which I was elected ?:' Or if, in view of these? facts, there is any one, but an intentional calumniator, who will ever again assert it l 't:(y?,-T ' Again : ItJs said that I should have voted for Henry M. Fuller for Speaker that he was a good enough pro-slavery man ; for Kennett, Lindley and Por ler vottd for bun : and, therefore, "some wise (Hil.tieal. teachers" urgre tbat he is .Nound enough lor me ! It is a sufficient answer , to this argument, (if argument it may he called,) that Kennett, l.iudley, nd Porter act upon thpir own judg ments, under their own responsibilities. I act ufion my judgment under my responsibility- ? In tr spe ch tlelivered by me," on the 9.h day of January last, in the House, I took Hp the record of this Mr. Fuller. I showed that he had voted for Mr. P.Mniiigton, who had favored a motioi to - suspend the rules of the House, to allow Mr. Elliott to introduce a bill to repeal the ; fugitive slave law,' and who had voted for both Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, anil .Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, tor Speaker of the present Congress. I called attention to the fact that he had, in ..reply to a question put by Mr. Sage, of New Yoik, said that -if the Missouri ompromise can be 'estored, I would MOST CERTAINLY BE IN FAVOR OP ITS restoration J hut, in view of the diffi culties which surround that question and must defeat your efforts, 1 say, that 1 atiif opposed to the agitation of that question." It was upon this declaration he stood when I made that speech. I give you the extract, iu Ids own words, to show that I did l im no injustices, On the 17th day of January, he had occasion to define his position again; and, in the mean time, his :bacA.-bone" having been strengthened t y the influence of som of - his Southern' supporters,, he was worked up to the oint of declaring, that 't'ougress has no constitutional power either to legislate slavely into, or ex clnde it from, a Territory." On one day, during the present res ston, he tells us, 4-if the Missouri com promise line can be restored,, he' would most certainly be in favor of its res toration and on another day, during the same session, he tells us that the whole thing is : unconstitutional ! that CTongn ss hs -'no power to exclude slavery ! Still, it he could, he would restore this uiiconstiiutioiiaL restriction ! I leave it' to his admirers ; and suppor ters to rtconcile and ' harmonize these declarations j I freely admit mv inca pacity' - 7 - ; . Out he gets further down Sonth than I go, (for he is a f sl trave'er when he loes start.) ; He says : "Neither has the Teritorial Legislature, in my judge ment -any right; to legislate upon that snhiect. except . so far as may be heces saiy to protect " the ritizns of the -Tei- ritory in the enjoyment of their proper ty " This is the extreme ground of the fire-eaters ; 1 believe that under the tfuvets conierred hy . tne organic act 01 rvansasana nenraska, "to reguiaie tneir own domestic eoncerus," 'they may !' tlier establish or prohibit slavery, just as they think proper, - ' . Again :. tie says, in his last speech, in answer to the interrogatory, whether he believed the Wilmot ..proviso consti tutional 1 .' I wa not a member f ihe Congress of 1850 and Ip e never been called ad to eMuer ttffirm or deny tht conslUutumaUy of Hit Witnwt proviso." ... Mv political existence commenred tineeAat Jlattd ; Anil having neve taken any public posilvtm i am wiUvag, in ail frankness and candor, to do 30 now." 1 will show you that his memory is as oblivious as his sudden conversion is marvelous'. This same Henry M. Fuller, on the 18ih of August, 1849, wrote a letter to JEf. P. Saxton a let ter from which the following are ex tracts: . ' Yi Hta' i- ynnt letter, that thp FREE-0IL-ERS will - hold a onv mion at Hyde Paik, on tin- 30tA Inwiaxl ; Tlii-rw is a pretty Urong proba bUitii that J will tie in tin' fli-ld tor Canal Cum miMioner. and it would certiinH aid my paoapKCTj vrby MAI KM ALLY to receive a. nomination from YnUR PARIV." ' He had not then this holy horror of a 'wild hunt alter office" denounced by his brethren in Philadelphia; Oh, no! It would "very materially aid his prospects"' to get a'nouiinatiou fiom a regular Free-Soil convention ; and as it would aid those prospects, he wanted it ; and had good reasons to give why he should have it. , Hear him !', ; ' 1 am in favor of FR EE SOtL free nfieech . fite tabor and fcee men: BKING A WILMOT PROVI SO M A N UP TO THE HUB. AND UTTE R LY OPPOSED TO Tli E EXTENSION OF SLAVE rfY" ! ! ! He was up to the HUB IN FRKE SOU, when he wanted a Free-Soil nom ination ; and I have never heard of his PRIZING OUT, until he wanted the votes of sound national men for the speakership. He goes on: " The ' matter ' will require prudent management, and I ktww nf nn man who can. accomplish xf better than yourself. It wovld be bad policy to attempt it without a certainty of success Consult with our mutual friend. IJacklcy and JoliOMin, and write Yonrs truly, HENRY M. FULLER." Thus it appears, that on the 18th day of A ugusr, 1849, he was a VV 1LMOT PROVISO MAN UP i O THE HUB," and on the 17ih day of January, 1856, he declares "that he never took any public position on the subject of slav. ry" that his "political existence com menced since that flood"! ! I will comment no further on this letter ! Mr. Fullkr became a candidate for Canal Commissioner, and, while a can didate, made speeches among others one in Alleghany City, reported in the Pittsburg Uazetle, then a Whig aper, and then supporting Mr. Fuller. In that speech, published at the time, and uncontradicted, Mr. Fuller says: 'Let the people of the South talk a they please. slavery was a dark and damning stain upon their escutcheon." "Let m nay to t he proud wave I frla very, as 'they beat against the barriers of reedom. "Than far aha.it thou go and no further ' Let um give our lands free, in every Kens of the word to our citiz-ti.atid to ibv poor and oppressed of other nations A lords of freedom, we had a dnty to iierform to Ihe South. Let ua do it wiib a iroier regard to our f lend there bnt let n INSIST ON THE EARLIEST PRACTICAL ABOLITION OF SLANERY"!!! Ay, "THE EARLIEST PRACTI CAL ABOLITION OF SLAVERY." Look at it ! For "free soiP "opposed to the extension of slavery" in favor of its "earliest practical abolition" '-intriguing lot the nomination of a Free Soil convention ; and in addition to all this, when the final vote for Speaker came the last vote -the vote which 'tried the souls of men" the vote which was to determine whether Banks, the political Abolitionist the Black Republican- the not them Know Nothing the "Uniou-sliding"-theaabsorption"BANKs, should be elected Speaker of the Amer- icau House of Representatives, or that accomplished gentleman and sound, na tional, and conservative man, Governor William Aiken he, under the Aim sy and miserable pretext of having pair ed off with a man who was present, be ing present himself, dodged, and did not vote at all ! . And now with his record fairly before you elected upon . the principles on which I was elected I submit it to your candor, if I would, not have exposed my self to the just scorn and contempt of every good man of my district, of any party, if I had voted for Henry M. Ful ler? I voted for William A. Richard son, of Illinois. .1 knew him. I had served with him iu the last Congress. I knew him to be the very soul of hon or. A man whose "word - was as good as his bond ;w a man whose, large heart could take all the Union into its affec tions ; a man who was all seamed with scars received iu battles for the rights of the South a man' who had been passed around by the Abolitionists, (within black lines,) in what they call their "roll of infamy," because of his gallant bear ing in those battles ; a man who has stood unmoved while mad fanaticism joured its vials of wrath upon his head ; a, man" who breasted , the storm in "its wildest ragings" after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill ; 7 the man who bid them a proud and bold defiance the statesman' who was bur champion and leader through all the. great struggle up on" that " bill ; the statesman' who had counseled his friends in the North to "stand and brave the fire without flinch ing the man who, full of courage and patriotism, -dares to do whatever his .large heart approves and his, compre hensive mind suggests : and a man. too, who is of tha West, western who is of us andlvith us. I would not, 1 should jiot, I could not, I did not hesitate for a moment which to choose this man, or Henry M. Fuller. .. .-WAS. 1 IOT RIGHT 1 ; 1 (to EcorrnstD.) H0UPIK0N.
