again identical, have gasailed them both. The alien and sedition law of “tho reign of terror," was but the prototype of the gag-law of the last session of Congress. That bill which: denied'to an officer of the General Government the freedom of speech or the press, or even epistolary correspondence on political affairs, was but the mouldering carcase of the sedition taw, dug-up from the grave of Federalism, and the resurrectionist was a senator of-Kentucky!!!' Had that bill passed; I.bad not beqn allowed the privilege this night of returning you my thanks, or even offering an apology, hot under penalty of fine and dismission from office!!! .Thanks to the vigilorice of the friend* of equal rights in Congress, and tho loud of a.well directed press, uttering |he public sentiment In a tone not to be mistaken,' the conspirators were frightened from their purpose. .But can'you, or bur fellow citizens, be blinded to the deformities of a creed, (miscalled by an ancient and honorable .name) whietj dares to attempt the establishment of such a principle! It cannot be,*. " Late and passing transactions strongly remind me ofa fable, oheefamifiar to me. . Our adversaries, who are truly the spoils party, are held together, hot by honest, and upright political principles, but by a common interest in a selfish ptinuiLof office. ‘Truly they are a heterogeneous band! Stately Federalismapostate Democrats—fanatic abolitiontits, regardless of the public good or constitutional obligations—degraded anti-maibnry, and all the small fry of parlies of e very name and color, are all ranged under their standard. A lton once ruled, the monarch of the forest; The beasts all acknowledged bis away, and obeyed his commands. There was the fierce tiger, the bear, the panther, the hyena, with bis hideout aspect;'the gaunt wolf, thirsting for blood; the cunning fox, fruitful in stratagems; the monkey, ! impudent, chattering and forward. There wag the slim weazle, always watchful; and loo, was the akunk, known to be there, by the. evidence of more than one of the tenses. At the command ofthe monarch they hunted down I bo game of the forest for his use, and shared in the proceeds of the chase. They often attempted the farmers’ stock, for veal and Iamb were wanted badly, to satisfy the royal palate; but in vain. The flocks and herds were to safely, fenced - and guarded. The sturdy'mastiff,-the faithful shepherd's dog, and the fierce hull-dog were on the' alert, and tbeowndV himself frequently overlooked his sentinels and kept them wakeful. It .is (rue the fox sometimes managed to trot off with a goose—and the monkey sometimes snatched a few pippins—but, in the general,they were compelled tb put up with the small game outside of the Dissatisfied with their want of success, tt is said lhaUhey have disposed their late monarch, and chosen another, in the hope that under his apipices, they may at,length satiate their appetites with the dainties of the farm. It is whispered, bowsver, that some suspicions are already entertained, by.some of the associates, that they have not gained much For the exchange,'as it ts.believed that the lion ofthe day ha* loit hit teeth from old age. So, Mty^President,.may the administration of our government and all its interests bo protected from the factions that assail iu May its;foreign and domestic.interests continue to flourish under those who by a wise and'decisive'policy, have preserved peace with alto miens, paid off our national debt,’pays qurpobtic expenditures without taxation, and although deprived by combination of S3 millions of ita treasure, aqd embarrassed by crumbling corporations/ still credit and rcso hires' unimpaired. ..Such*would not'have been the;statedrour affaire bad the “spoils party" been successful r in their efforts to obtain tho control over them. ■

i A new quALincinos.— A neighbor of Gen.Harrison's named Hodges, Writing to a brother whig in Rhode-Island, named Watson, among other qualifications which entitle the General to the Presidency gives the following;™ "He is fond of apple toddy; bat tome times taken t little wAul-cy," . There is no more to be said da the score of his fitness. A man that is "food of apple teddy," "and new whiskey," certainly possesses• rare■ qualities. 3fr. Van Buren will be "found wanting," when weighing in the balance with Tippecanoe, on the score of drinking "apple toddy and new. whiskey." .

Delivered before ibe Convention of the Demo

cratic Delegates, at Frankfort, on the 9th Jan 1

uary, 1840, by JVM. McCalla. *Vr. Frerident , and Gentlemen of the Convention:

I had supposed.that l an apology to this body, for not discharging ibe duties of one of it a Secretaries, having been informed by several of its members that I had been elected to that post on yesterday, although not a member ofthe couvemiob. I am just informed however that it w.aa my friend Col. McCalla, ofScolt, who deservedly received (bat honor. .. At your cal) 1 embrace .this opportunity with pleasure of mingling with sd large and animated anfossemblage ofthe true spirits of Kentucky Democracy, and uniting witfothem in the burst of feeling and zeal.whicb has so naturally resulted Irbtn the able addresses of the gentlemen who have preceded me'. -.I will hot sttcmpr Id d|scusathenieasurea of policy which they have so clearly .laid down., Ifippenr before you more especially to express niy thauks for tho honor conferred upon tueJby many members df this convention, in their expressed wishes for my selection as a candidate for tho bighesl office in the gifrof the people of this Common wealth. - I consider it as a compliment far above-my bumble merits; and I beg those kind friends who have thus honored -mo with their preference, to accept of my sincere thanks, and to’excuse my resistance to their wishes, founded on a variety of private amsideratipcs; as well as a Bellied conviction m my judgment, that a far better selection 1 could be made from Uio list of those whose claims were presented for their consideration. I am rejoiced* to find that the gentleman who is noW the candidate ofthe Democratic party for that office, has verified my expectations by the eloquent and dignified address, which be has just delivered, Let bis principles, and his arguments be carried homo with you and explained to your fellow citizens—and ;tlie.film of prcjudice will fall from their eyes; .the old spirit of Kentucky -will be aroused and we shall soon see bettor days. , When I cast my eyes around, this numerous assemblage of freemen; convened for cation : of tho true principles ofour liberty, and behold tho' bust of that immorurleader of the democracy which so appropriately arnameats i(— my, emotions oreunutterahle. Those eyes often pierced the files of war, flashing dismay to bur enemies, beaming encouragement to our friends. Those tips, now sunken, have often called upon tbo Regions of his country to fly with him to its rescue. There is not a wrinkle on that venerable countenance which does not appeal tb the heart of every lover of freedom. ; His lame resounds from .every shore—his name ia known an'd:rererenced v by the suffering Sons of oppression In the farthest regions ojf the earth—and the .“fame of ANDREW JACKSON will descend on the pages'of history, and the grateful recollections of his country, in a blaze of glory to the latest period of ItmeHl 1 . 1 , . Let me employ the few moments which I shall occupy, hy suggestions, offered with sincere desire there they may contribute something to. the success ot the approaching can vaaS. 'Remember that “action” is to be your motto. You have to contend with a watchful and hitherto Active combination. - I know'tkat we have a moet favorable Conjuncture for the,design. Kentucky is intrinsically a democratic people; She was rocked in its cradle, and was its favorite offspring. * When her chosen and talented son, in an unhappy add fatal moment for himeelf and bis eon ntry, united bis destiny with those wtio had so often quailed beneath bis over her.partislity and affection chained* her Jo his fortunes; and to elevate him to the pinriaclo of bis ambitious aspirations, Kentucky surrendered that station in the republican ranks which had procured for he! tbo commendation of the father of-Ameri-can democracy. But bis course is successfully finished t . Thu meteor has passed—the race not won; the prize has escaped-t-his hopes, and expectations blasted and disappointed. Even those tor whom he sacrificed so much, have shown to the world the instability of political faith, and the emptiness of political professions, by discarding him as their choice, when b supposed available- is presented to their suffrage*. He js thrown .aside to place a “military chirfiam" in his stcSd; and Kentucky is to be transferred to him - 'whose principal merit consisis in,his connexion with the most dangerous fobaticism which everassailed our institauobs,; Can that bo effected! This numerous aiaem.r bly, the representatives of Kentucky republican 1 ism, the burst'of revived expectation throughout the State,—the rope of sand which holds the .Federal party to their allies, and the good sense of. the yeomanry of tbo State, all combine to render it impossible. The return of Kentucky to tbo republican fold will be hastened by the glorious example* of her sister Slat eearound her. It will bq your duty, gentlemen of (he convention, to bring (b the recollection of bn\childrea, those principlce which were formerly\nd ere still-so dear th her; although not the creed of her present leaders and allies.’. It is not tV be supposed for amotnent that she wilt or can don* linae her Support to theirs.. They are not > ter principles. It ts in vain for Whig demagog tea to attempt to disguise the truth. vDo they tot every where denounce the admission of foreigners tp a participation in the privilege* we enjoy! Are pot associations formed and presses Subsidised to achieve tbeir exclusion!' Who, ‘that looks' back to the dark period of our infant straggles, for.freedom can ever shut the’ avenues of his heart'to the oppressed foreigner.; Thcre wasnot a battle field of nur revolution, but was a lain fed with ‘foreign blood, shed by willing heart* in a causohot their own!l For us Montgomery died! torus, Lafayette abandoned the honors ofa court and the charms of youthfuflove;—Torus Kosciusko and Pulaski, the'pride of oppressed i'oland, bared their bosoms to the conflict, and one ot them laid down bis life upon the altar of our liberty; for us the gray-haired veterans ofthe Great Frederick crossed the etotmy ocean—qnd whilst a Stsaben infused discipline and confidence in our soldiery, DeKalbfell brayely fightingat their heqd. Not only those, but thousands of humble names, but not less gallant spirits, rushed to the rescue from almost every European strand. And shall we, who enjoy the freita of their labors and sacrifices and dangers, deny their countrymen a refuge, abd a home! never! Vet such was the principle of ancient Federalism—such is the principle of modern Whlggery, It is the same under a different name. ' Not onlyfeo. Freedom of speech anjl of the press are the cardinal principlfet of our constitution; ancient Federalism and modern Wliiggery,

■ Oniffous—The whiga in Tennessee have bad a State Convention. -They very appropriately made' defeated .Ex-Governor Cannon, President of the Convention, and placed the names of those defeated instnicled-out-of-Congreu ' gentlemen, Hugh L. While and Ephraim K. Foster, at the bead of their ilarrlsonian electoral ticket. "Coming events cast” their shadows before." In their leaden, the federals of Tenncasee, have a sure index of their fate.

' There are olhor strong considerations favorable 'to 1 the prosecution of this work. I have been in .the’state of Indiana for ten or eleven years;and travelled ibt road, when I first visited the State. The .lands .were theh taken" up.— The Doosiers (and I am proud of the name) had expanded, some one hundred, some two hundred dollars, in. tho purchase of quarter and naif-quar-ter sections, murder to prertde.tlicmselvea with farms upon , and near the national road. They all believed, tVwasbn every man’s Ups, that the United States to make a national highway there. It was on the fgith of this they bought thepublic lands at the' early day, and ‘ poured the proceeds of their hard earnings into the Treasury. /TEiey looked-to ll as o thoroughfare for.cibigration,' for commerce; fend hence population has crowded upon it, cities have sprung up along itslino, some of fen thousand, some of fifteen . thousand inhabitants, on the-finished parts of the work. Will you now, sir,check it, and leave (he people in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,, an Missouri, 4p .charge the doyenfrocnl with bad. faith! Sir; the road, is worse, in some'parts of -Indiada, than if there.neverlisd been a «Vr6ke airuck upon Ilf patches of the graduation completed; a few- tntles of paving done in the vicin* ty of. three towns; antL the resiled- worse than when it \vos in a forest. What will the people say! What will they 'think of 1 tho-r policy of a Government, 6f its.wiadoro; and ils faith, if tfits .work shall be abandoned? ; ' , v V ■ • ; • i It is true, sir, ! -did tell tho' peoplh that' I thought that Congress, would gif e us an.apprapriatton whenever the subject was mentioned. Why. din Ido so! -Because! thought, both Whigs and Democrats would unite in preserving the national faith: I hove never, regarded it as a party question, and do hot now so regard it. It is not to political parties, but to the friends of the road,-’of all parties that I look; and'lo them, M one df tha Uepresentalivei-of tho great Northwest, will I foel the profoundeit gratitude. 1 would appeal to the gentlemen from .‘South Carolina, especially to one now in my eye, a native of.(he same neighborhood with thyself, whether they, think (here is nothing in the just expectations of the Western people bn this subject! : • , . . It t* not long since that Slate' took strong ground in support of alleged rights. Will they allow us thei credit of equal .sincerity and equal determination! If (hey do hot, they mis-, take us. ,Weknow our rights, sir, and will maintain them; not by violence, but by contin-t uing to press our claims upon the constituted authorities of the American people. I confess that, if this appropriation fails, the people will be disappointed,' They have a right to I appeal, therefore, to gentlemen of all parties, in behalf of what I regard the redemption of a pledge given for the construction of this great work, it is not party'-feeling that brings os here to regard to this road, In relation to it we have in the Northwest but one party, one interest, one purpose. It gives' me pleasure to observe the conduct (and to acknowledge it with gratitude) of many members of both parties. I have seen,(.Id Massachusetts, the cradle of the Revolution, coming to our support. Sir', I wish I could see tbo same union, jn-our favbr in the Old Dominion;; but in the South I am sorry to find such harmony-amongst Whigs and Democrats against us. But, in regard to this measure, I shall never be found troubling myself in examining the journals. It will he sufficient for me that the measure succeeds; and my feelings will bo thoio'nf gratitude to bur friends rather than of censure upon any quarter. Gentlemen • may, bowevcr, suppoio that this is an inconsiderable matter, and that these States are experimenting on this body. Sir, they are mistaken, who sup? pose so. No Stale, has ever been more‘determined in tho pursuit of its rights, than the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Mr. Speaker, it has been asked whether we were to bo bought by this appropriation! Sir, it implies an injurious imputation. It ;ls tree wo have our price; but it does not consist of political or party considerations’, nor ji it dollars and cents. It is the price of patriotism; of*vjrlde. But, sir, will it not be the part of wisdoed for the old States to'do us justice now! Do you not think we will remember our friends! Look at that map, tin Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan; Wisconsin, and Iowa. Contemplate the progress of ehtaivar westward—rthe millions that are ito fill up that vast region, possessing facilities unequal ‘on the globe. Sir, the sceptre will depart from Judea. Is'it hot better for you, to do ue justice than to allow qe to redress pur own grievances, smarting,under the sense of the illiberal, narrow-policy of the old Stales towards us. Do gentlemen ’suppose yre will bo unmindful of our friends! Sir, it reminds mo of an act of kindness I received from a man in my childhood". I knew, him in after life,; and whether I saw him to the church, the mixed assembly, or thecourt-robra, I never haw him, without having his conduct to mein my infancy brought fresh to my receltohlion. So it is with nations;' so it wilt he with ui. We will remember our friends. - Mr, Speaker, there are other gentlemen who desire to addteas the Houid on this subject, and although there are several topics 1 would be pleased to discuss, 1 shall leave them to gentlemen more able thanmyaelflo do them justice.
