[Missouri March. 1
After the deafening and reiterated applause with which '
this sentiment was received, had somewhat subsided —
Mr. licnion rose to return thanks, and to respond to ■
the sentiments contained in the toust, and addressed the ■
company for an hour and it half; but his remarks being '
the eftii.don of the occasion, no copy of them can lie fur- t
nished. and we limit ourselves to the heads ami points of j
some oj the lupins whieii he touched ile ga ve his rea- ;
son tor accepting the honor of this public dinner, coil- '
trary to his usual custom, and expressed his gratitude to i
the State ot Missouri for the honor of three eleetiuiis to I
the Senate of the 1 . States,and dwelt with emphasis and '
sensibility upon the gratification which lie felt in find
ing himself honored and cheeied by the approbation of ;
his 'Constituents, uiler fourteen years of arduous service ,
during n period so replete with momentous events.
’1 he fust event in his public career to which he ad
verted was the presidential election in the House of Re
presentatives in l.-^-l-fi. He did not give the history of
tiiat election, but he made two remarks upon it, for tin*
sake of impending or future events; the first was, that
then began I lie attempt to trample upon the will ot the
people, and to deny or evade the right of instruction,
which has since ripened into a regular contest between
the people and their public servants, and was soon to j
receive its decision in several of the States, and also in j
the Senate ol the l;. Slates. The other remark upon that 1
election wan, that experience proved that the theory of the i
Constitution had failed in the practice; and that the voto j
for ('resident in the Houscof Representatives, while nnmi- !
nally the privilege of the Slate, was in reality the private j
property of the representative, who might dispi.-M* of it as i
lie pleased; and the State had no means to coerce him i
before hand, and to punish him afterwards, or even to !
vacate a vole corruptly or ignorantly given against her
will. With respect to General Jackson’s deportment in
that contest, he would repeat a reinaik which lie hud
heard from Mr. Scott, the then Representative of Mi>
aouri, and which would display the noble and lofty hear
ing of that great man in thatc mlest for the highest ho
nor of the world, and even add to the exalted fame which
he now possessed; it was, that, no fir from courting Mr.
Scott for his vote, or doing any thing to gain or conci
liate him, he was more reserved than on former oc
casions, and i rm treated him roolhj!—The statement of
this fact, so honorable to Gen. Jackson, was received i
with the greatest applause by the company; and when it j
had subsided, Mr it. went on to remark upon the pccu* j
liar late cf General Jackson since Ills election to the !
Presidency. He said lie wan originally the candidate of!
tile people; lie had been selected by them and was elect- j
rd by them, and possessed more of their confidence j
and affection, and had done more for them, than
anj tuner i rcsiueni nau ever dime; yet ho had been
more thwarted, counteracted, opposed, and villified, by
the people's representatives, than any other President
had ever been; and finally had hren condemned by the
Senate, without hearing or trial, for violating the Laws
and Constitution. Mr II. looked to the sources of oppo
sition from the people’s representatives to the favorite
Chief Magistrate of the people, and traced it to two
c iin-es ; lir.-1. the original sin, in the ryes of certain poli
ticians, ill the election of President Jackson, in being
el.o n (1 by the people—the Common people,as they wete
called—-without the sanction and against the calamitous
predictions ol these saute politicians; and secondly, to
the appearance ol a new power among us, a great
moneyed power, combining political und pecuniary
influence, and wielding the w hole m governing elec
tions. or in seducing members, alter they wen*elect
ed. and sparing no labour or expense to defeat,
counteract, sa l ruin the President, who could never I
be brought to sign them a new charter. These he I
slid were the two sources of the great opposition to P re- j
uidenl Jackson, and from which flowed the treacherous J
drseilioii of so many members, and the final scene of at- i
tainting ami ostracising the President without trial or
henring. With respect to his own part in the Prcsiden- j
tinl election of 1^24-5, he said that he hid joined Gen.,
Jackson in that contest because he saw the rights of I
the people violated in bis jierson; and had supported |
him ever since because he approved his Course, and be- i
cause his cause and the cause of the people bad been the
same from that day to this lie slightly alluded to the
obloquy east upon him for his support of President Jack
son, and said that he lelt it to tune and to Inn actions to 1
tell his motives. He did not deal in professions; he did not
plead like a lawyer in his own In luff; he knew that '
it had been said by a wise man of antiquity, that the pre- 1
cept, “ it .sow Tin 'Mr," would not be considered as l)i- 1
vine if every man could easily reduce it to practice; yet
In- would now, after tie* lapse of *<, many years from that
election of l"V‘l — 5, so fir speak of bis own motives as
to say that, lie believed lie knew himself thri, and was
certain that he knew himself now, far cnnng.i to know \
that no selfish, no venal, no interested motive had enter
ed his councils, or swayed Ins conduct, when lie urged j
the fepreiM nlaiivo of Missouri to give the vote r.f the !
Hlate to (icn Jackson. Great applause interrupted Mr ,
B. at ties decliralioii, and when it had subsided, lie said *
he would quit a topic which he had never touched liefore, j
and barely alluded hi now, with repeating that as be !
originally joined Oen Jackson because he sow the lights |
of the people, and the spirit of the Constitution violated j
in his person, so lie had continued to support him breuns?
hi* judgment approved Ins conduct, and because in Ins \
person w as embarked, and in his fate was involved, the I
great cause of democracy and the country.
The Senatorial condemnation of the President was
referred to by Mr. p,. not to dwell,or to cxpatiite upon
that act of enormity, which will yet be found to have
been *-• lastingly unfortunate lor the Senate while only
temporarily annoying to the President, but for the pur
pose of particularising two, out of the ninny hideous
features which distinguished it, and which, ton, though
sevi rat limes mentioned by him in his apceche* in the
Senate, did nut a<-sm to have sunk sufficiently deep ot
? h"vo tak.-n sufficient hold upon the public mind.
A. it * ol those circumstances won, that the Semite of
. .11 •• bl ,,n so unfortunate a* to play second
, fiddle in that affair ! it had followed tin- lend of .mother
! power. Olid III the whole charge, and in u)l the arguments
to. the epudemnation of the President, it had only repeat
td w hat the Bank of the U. States had first chargedand
propagated through the columns of the newspapers in iti
into rest. I he second feature he would present, was the
want id specification in the sentence of condemnation,
it had oeen first drawn up with specifications, which
v.ere struck out because no majority could be found to
agree to them, and Were then passed without specifics
ions, because no majority Could agree upon any other**
a» a substitute. 1 he result was, tliut the President was
condemned tor a violation of the Laws and Constitution,
when those w ho condemned him;could not agree in tell
mg tor what ! nor name the act which was inconsistent
W1 , **a"' or Constitution ! The condemnation was the
re.-ult, not of conviction, but of compromise; mid the
Semite of the United States, the highest judicial power
Known to the Constitution, had passed a judgment, and
that against the President, under circumstances which
would cause a verdict to be set aside, and for which n
petit jury would In? reprimanded and sent bock to their
room, in any court of any county, of unv State in tho
Union.
1/is own expunging resolution, so emphatically refer
red to in the proceedings which led to the dinner, were
naturally touched upon by Mr. B. He took some credit
to linnseit, and indulged in some pride of recollection,
not so much in the fact of having moved the resolution,
tor enough would have been found before now to have
done that, but in the time at which he gave his notice for
moving that resolution, ft was no aAer-thought with
him; hot originated at the darkest hour of the contest,
when State niter Stale, had given way; when Virginia
hers* It had (jtiuih’d and ialtcrc.l under tin* double cliurg
» d batteries of Punic and Pressure, and when the Se
nate chamber iiseft, sunk to an election hustings, re
sounded with the shout*, of Hank-whig triumphs, and
heard the assertion, so unfitted to the dignity of that
place ! that the last blow of the hammer on the coffin of
Jackson ism had been struck ! It was at this moment of
darkness and defeat for democracy, and of Hunk-whig
triumph, that his notice had been given, and that without
consulting with any human being. His notice, then,
given, was a compliment to the democracy of the U.
Stall's 1 it was u declaration ot his abiding confidence ill
the justice ot the people, and ot his conviction that they
would never suffer that mortifying monument of bank
tnuinph over their patriot President to remain upon the
Journals of the Senate.
i lie contest with the Bank of the United States, Mr.
U said, was the great legislative event of the age. It
iiad occupied too large a space in the public mind to nood
extended notices on this occasion from him; but lie would
point out some incidents which showed the peculiar ou
d‘c.»y> wickedness, and contempt of public opinion
which characterized the conduct of that institution,
i hus, at the last Presidential election the question of the
re-charter was precipitated upon Congie.-.s, and brought
tor ward tour years too soon, for the purpose of operating
upon the elections, and making the ro-chnr’er a tr.-l rjnea
lioii, and putting down ail who tvere opposed to it.
failing in that open and during attempt to curry tho
elections and to govern the Government, it had now re
versed lie conduct, und pretending to be dead, de
clared every where that the question was at an end
— that the re-charter was given up—mid thus end^a
vored to smuggle its friends into Congress, where
it would be Mire of their votes in all subsequent eon
tests. .Mr. B. said lll.it the Bank was not dead; that it
hud only substituted Iraud and cunning for nudacitv and
violence; that it was now in the political field, laboring
to divide the democracy oft ho Union, to carry the olee
im.i oi I resident into the House of,Representatives and
to smuggle in its own friends at the same lime, whero
It would be turr of uil their votes, both for the Bank
candidate fi»r l iehiileiil, and tor the recharter, whenever
tiie monarch institution gave the signal f„r tho tally, nod
summoned hei vassals to tho charge.
Tile panic and pressure which had been got up by
the Bank, Mr. B. looked upon as the most stupendous
piece ot villainy which hid diKjrractd human nature
since tlie time ot the Catilinarian conspiracy, lie de
scribed the process by which that scene of panic and
pressure had been cirried on, and extolled the firm
ness of the President in resisting all attempts to ope
rate upon him; unJ ascribed to that firmness the suc
cess oi the country in weathering tho storm of the
conspirators and alarmists Many good men, Mr. B.
said, in all jKirts ot tho country, were overpowered by
the storm., and were ready to iilamc the President, and
to vic'd to the demand for t.he restoration of the depo
sites, or a renewal of the charter. lie did not censure
eiliacns at a distu nee for so yielding; lor, many stout hearts
even at Washington, gave way; and it required the he
roism o( i resident Jackson to hold them to the contest,
and make them achieve a glorious victory in spite of
themselves. The condemnation of the President, Mr.
, a, ; 'vas l,art and parcel of the panic scene ; for
while lue Bank was sea;wing the people for money on a
fabricated pretext, which was both false and frivolous,
tne Semite was condemning him without being able to
tell for what. But he would not go into that condemna
tion ; lie had touched upon it already, and hud presented
some features which displayed its enormity; he would
only add, that, in being thus condemned, President
Jackson had shared the fate of tlm Unman Consul, who
had also been condemned, for violating tho laws in sup
pressing the conspiracy of Catiline, mid in being denied
the privilege of defending himself, he had again shared
the tale ol the same Consul, who had in like manner
b-en denied the privileges of a defence. Ho then men
tioned the conduct of Cicero in being refused a hearing;
he sa d that lie rushed into the Temple of the Gods, fol
lowed liy nil that was virtuous in Homo, and nvvorc upon
the altar, that lie had saved his country! an oath, said
M-. li.r w hich President Jackson might truly have taken
when the Senate refused to hoar his defence!—The ap
plause of the company enthusiastically responded to this
sentiment.
1 lie removal of the deposit's Mr. B pronounced to
he tlie moat masterly movement in politic* which tlm
age h id witnessed. That removal had brought on tint
second fight with the Bunk before *he wai ready for the
b il'.Ie, and saved I he country from the dangers of the
comliat with her at the presidential election of 183ti. It
"'** »l the presidential election that this girnt monied
