This was your promise, and this your flag,
displayed in all your cavalcades, and in all your
hard-cider orgies and bacchanalian feasts far and
Kide. How has that promise been fulfilled?
Thousands of honest laborers will answer next
fall through the ballot-box lint they can get but
twenty-five cents a day and no beef at all. So,
I phce that promise to the credit of No. 8.
The federalists in the last Congress made but
ono attempt at retrenchment; and that attempt
was insolent hypocrisy, and made to deceive.
The democrats, in a former Congress, reduced
the price of public printing fificeii per centum

then elected Gales ec. Seaiou printers. That
was the show of retrenchment, and under that
contract and resolution was the public printing
done; nut, in order to compensate lor the rcduc
pass a bill to incorporate a natioual bank. John
Tyler vetoed il,and that is his great olTencc; for
it, he his been denounced fat and wide, by eve
ry hireling wh'g press, as a traitor, and bv every
whig demagogue as a scoundrel. The short of
the story is, that the whigs weie playing a frau
dulent game when they elected John Tyler, and
tlicy got caught in their own net. 1 am no ly
lcr man, but it islue to my feelings auJ to jus
tice, to say tint the democracy and the country
owe Mr. I yler a debt ol gratitude which will ou
ly be paid when the arty strife wh'ch overshad
ows good and rewards evil shall have pasned ,
away, and merit and worth shall hive a nlaco-i
in the political history of out country.
j When General Jackson heard that John Tyler
i had vetoed that bill of abominations, he thnnked
his God that " ice had one honest man iVl."
When General Jackson, in 1832, vetoed the
bill to reeharter the Bank of the United States,
every heart and every tongue of every patriot
was full of gratitude and praise. It was said
that, under all circumstances then existing,
(meaning the jiower of the bank and the strength
iand influence of the bank party,) there was no
other man living who had the nerve and the mo
ral courage to brave the storm, but General
Jackson. John Tyler did thes-mif: thing, under
as fearful circumstances. Why should he not
have the same amount of gratitude and praise ?

Mr. Tyler has done things that I regret. I re
gret that he signed the bill to re cal the inde
pendent treasuiy. I regret that lib signed the
bankrupt bill, by which just claims to the amount
of millions were repudiated, swindlers encoura
ged, and scoundrels discharged from their hon
est obligations. I regret, above all, that he
signed the bill to provide for the distiibution of
the proceeds of tho public lands a measure
that, in its cflect and object, was designed to
plunder the people and bribe the Slates. But of
all this the democracy, as a party, have no right

Fcrmit me to take this occasion to say that
no blame is to be attached to the President, for
ty are determined to conduct the coming politi

means by which it was conducted in 14 10. 1 here
is to be "no declaration of "principles for Vie

a drawing ot a dissected coon, with a polite and
respectful note, asking me to make some public
use of it to ihe end that whig principles might lie
generally understood. 1 have carefully exami
ned the internal viscera of this boast of whig pa
ean adoration.
Hero Mr. D. held up abcautiful painting of a
coon, with the entire internal viscera expused,
and each organ and part colored to life.
I find (said Mr. U.) this animal to contain with
in the cavity of its abdomen, all the leading prin

The people of Texas having, at the time of
adopting their Constitution, expressed, by ou al
most unanimous vote, their desire to be iucoip
rated into the Union of tho United States, and
bein" still desirous of the same with equal unan
imity, in order to provide more eilectually for
their security and prosperity; and the United
States, actuated solely by the desire to add to
tiicir own security and prosperity, and to meet

much for whig principles. Now for the different

tion of the price, more printing was given to the profligacy and extravagance of this adminis-
uaies c ceaton, by near one-hall, than ever
was given to public printers before by any Con
gress in tlie same length of time. But that was
not all; at the closo of the last session, and to
ono of the last appropriation bills, was made im
amendment apvroprialinf forty thousand dollars
to Gales and Seaton, in addition to the price
stipulated in the contract. Thus was the public
treasury robbed to feed and fatten a favorite par
tisan. So much for the only attempt to fulfil the
promises of retrenchment. That hypocritical
show and false pretence I mark No. 9.
Sir, my time, and the limits of a speech, will
not permit me to prosecute the subject. If I had
time I could fill a volume with these startling
and damning falsehoods. I have selected those
general and unvarnished ones, because they
were connected with promises tho more e fleet u
. ally to mislead the thoughtless and unwary; be
cause they were appeals to the passions, io cu
pidity, and to avarice. When you hold up the
promises made in 1S40 to the federalists, and
ask thorn, Why have von not made the retrench
ments and reforms you promised in tho govern
ment expenditures? Where is the plenty
money, and of good quality, you promised?

the House and Senate, who made the appropria

nliata to secure tho election of their candidate,
I mean drunken orgies, empty and profane songs,
coon-skins, hard-cider carousals, and their kin
dred and criminal means, perjury, treason, false
hood, corruption, bribery, swindling, and blasphe
my; and the end to be ellected by such means is
to break down our free institutions, trample upon
the constitution, and subvert human liberty, the
result will be as it has been. The workers of
uch iniquity will fall before the breath and ven-
feance of a just God, as grass beforo the scythe,
speak of tho guilty, not of the innocent. But
John. Tyler did not turn traitor; John Tyler has
done nothing to merit such a charge. This
charge 'is made, because ho vetoed the bank
bill.
The whigs caught a Tartar when they elected
Jjhn Tyler that is, they elected an honest
man. IIo was raised a democrat, and prior to
1832 bad always been a democrat, and a mem
ber of the democratic parly; some of his last offi
cial acts, when a member of the United States
Senate, were directed with ability and eloquence
against tho Bank of the United States, lie was
a warm and ardent Bopportcr of General Jack
sjn, aud all the loading measures of his adminis
tration, until what was culled the proclamation
mado its appearance. To some of the.doctriues
contained in that paper, ho took exceptions, and
for a lime withdrew his support and influence
from tho democratic party, under the supposition
that lie had abandoned the democratic princi
ples: The whig Hamsburg convention nomina
ted hini for Vice President, with a view to unite
tho whig slaveholders of tho south, with the
whio abolitionists of the north, against the demo
cracy of the north and south, Mr, Tyler was
not questioned as to his political principles prior
n ha eductions conBcquently, ho was under no
Wrrfl tm to what measures he would or would
not sunnort. President Harrison died; Mr. Ty

bound alone by motives and principles of patri
;m. wiib a true iudimierit, and I believe, on
hoiiest heart, Soon after tho executive duties
involved on him, the extra session was called,
ncy Henderson, citizens of the said Republic;
and the said rlenipotentiarics, alter exchanging
their full powers, have agreed on and eluded the
following articles:
Aht. 1. The Republic of Texas, acting in

understood between the pwrties, that, if in con
sequence of the mode in which lands have been
surveyed in Texas, or from previous grants or
locations, the sixteenth section cannot be appli
ed for the purpose of education, Congress shall
make equal provision by grant of land elsewhere.

if they were surrounded by the same or similar
circumstances. That wo have not improved in
many of the arts and sciences, both architectural
and fine, the monuments of Egypt, Greece, and
Rome, that have survived the destructive hand
of time for more than three thousand years, plain
ly demonstrate. They display, .at this day, a
mechanical and philosophical power, and a suc
cession in fine ails, which no wisdom ot this clay
can 'imitate. Tho pyramids of Kgyp'., the tem
ples and lofty columns (though in ruins) of Greece
and tho obelisks of Rome, not only surpass our
imitation, but confound our wonder. Paintings
aro yet to be found, that have survived half the
age of the world, whose delicacy and beauty con
found the most splendid artists of our day, and
from -which every artist must take lessons, before
he can be considered accomplished. Nor, even
in this Cluistian day, and this Christian land, have
we improved in morals and religion. I he bgyp-tians,-
for want of a revealed l)eiiy, worshipped
crocodiles, cats, snakes and toads. The Grecians
worshipped owls, and held their drunken feasts,
in congregated thousands, in honor of Bacchus,
aud carried and displayed jugs of wine and bas-
kc!s of grapes, and decorated themselves with
vine-leaves. Tho Romans nourished and rever
ed geese, and through and by thorn expected po
litical blessings and domestic happiness. The
whig portion of this nation, with a Tevealcd reli
gion, a revealed Deity, and a Divine Mediator,
adore tnd worship coons, possums, snapping-tur-llcs,
and skunks, and through and by them expect
political prosperity and domestic mppincss, now

Sir, I think wo havo made no such advancements
ns wo sometimes boast ot. 1 can lancy too, s:r,
that I can sec wisdom in some of tho ancient
customs and usiigns, even, in pagan countries
and na"aii limes, which wo have almost lost sight
of. Some of the ancients were in the habit of
consulting their augurs and Bootlmayers ns to
the probable result ofgreat national undertakings,
as well os to tho result of private enterprise.
Tho nuwrs and soothsayers datermincd their
"this same old coon,n I perceive very distinctly,
by the disordered state of the various organs!
which I have examined, that they plainly predict
.the entire overthrow, of the federal party, and,'
with their overthrow, ihe downfall of all their
high-toned federal measures. Their fate seems
to be as distinctly marked in the entrails of this
animal of whig adoration, as was the fate of Bel
shazzar upon the wall of his palace chamber; and
all the terror that seized him now shakes them.
I think, sir, I can perceive, with the same dis
tinctness which guided tho ancient oracles, in
the bowels of this emblem of whig principles,
the very States which will cast their votes for the
democratic nominee of (he convention to be held
in Baltimore. I predict from these signs, with
oracular certainty, that Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro
lina. Virginia. New Jersey, New York. New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Maine, Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tcn
nGswe, aud Connecticut, will triumph in the e
lection of their representative number of demo
cratic electors, which will bo one of the most tri
umphant and glorious victories which the democ
racy of this country or any other ever gained.
This is my prediction; and let no whig pa,an so
profane hunselt and his coon religion as to rcpu
diato it; fflr it is drawn from irresistiblo signs, dis
played in the vitals of tho animal ot Ins most sa

SdS Tf 7e first oHto jmln. and their prediction, b, at, inaction
the rovilers of republican government, and tho
enemies of free institutions, that tho people aro

Mr. Speaker, patriotism is tho spirit by which
our political fabric is held together. The elec
tive franchise is tho soul of our republic, and the
freeman's boast. Let it be supported, und it will
sunnort all (ho rest: all will he gafj. The solem
nity of the legal and judicial oath ia tho sheet
anchor of all our moral, religious,' and political
institutions. Let corruption polluto the ballot-
box, and perjury corrupt tho sacred sanctuary of
truth, and tii is lost. Our institutions, political,
moral, and religious, will all sink together, and
the oflspring will be ns it was in llic.l'reneh rev
olution. Your legislative halls will present bill
scenes of butchery. Plundcr,murdcr, and arson,
will bo but legalized crimes. And, too, as in
tho French revolution, your babhath will be clian
ss, in contemptuous ridicule, and consumed on
bonfires. Your Redeemer will be postponed to a
murderer, and your Maker to a prostitute, styled
the goddess of Reason. Your judiciary will be
converted into a triumvirate; your scats of justice
into a cuilloiinc; and your field will be drenched
in blood. These, sir, will fill tho measure of
such iniquity, such frauds, such porjury, and such
Ireason, as were practised in low, it persisted
in, unchecked and unrestrained.
The passage of this bill will destroy tho temp
tation and the means to perpetrate such violence.
Let the whirlwinds and tempests ot party spirit
and parly passion run mountain high; the safety
of tho republic, the purity of the ballot-box, and
the security of our free institutions, will not be
drawn into tho vortex and wreck of ruin. Can
we not lay asido all parly feelings for this time,
and on this occasion, and come up as one man in
support of this measure ? Now is the time now
is the day. We aro on tho cvo of another presi
dential election, which wilt elicit every feeling
and every corrupt passion which party strife can
ensender: and is there not danger that tho same
scenes of 1840 will be acted over? Is there not
dancer that otu moral, ouv political, our free, and
our religious institutions, may receive another
shock, which may palsy them beyond recovery?
Sir, my heart is fixed and sot on tho passage
of this bill; and I feel as though I have a right to
anneal to the patriotism of this House for its sup
port; aud if I had tho voice of thunder, I would
extend that appeal to the remotest parts of this
Union. I would awaken tho attention of every
patriot, of every lover of human liberty, and of
r i ,i i.i.
our lieo lnsiliuiions Iliiu muu uumuuu, iu iuo
support of this measure. I would invoke him, in
the name of human liberty, and on behalf of his
free institutions, by which ho expects to perpetu
ate tli.it liberty ; in tho name of that majcsly which
is his. by the riohts of a freeman, to scud forth
Ills voice to this hall, and demand, and command,
his representative to support this bill to make
this bill a law of this land.
I would extend that appeal, too, to every press
the potent engino of human liberty, and the ter
ror of crowned heiulu. I would ask them to raise
the strong arm and the loud voico in favor of this
bill. I would say to thcin, now is tho time, and
this is the occasion, which demand that influonce
which is thoirs. I would ask that same influence
in behalf and in support of this measure, which
has demolished throne?, torn crowns from the
heads of despots, broken crosiers, and redeemed
nations. ' . .
