Hut all my observation and reflection have m-rve 1 to strengthen and confirm my conviction, that su h a l in-ti-t ntion, emanating from the authority "f liie lieneral Government, properly restricted and guarded, with su-h improvement eiperience has pointod out, can alone supply a reliable currency. Accordingly, ot the Extra Session, a bill pass

ed both Houses of Congress, which, m my opio-- j ion, contained an excellent charter, with ono or j I wo alight defect?, which it was intended to cure by ft supplemental bill, if iho Veto had not been exercised. That charier contained two now and I think admirable features; one was in srpiinin the operation of issuing a, circulation from That of banking, confiling these faculties to different boards; and the tuber wus to l.mit tlie dividends of the bank, bringing the exces, beyond the prescribed amount, into the public treasury- In 'he preparation of the charier, every sicnfi.-o was inadu that could bo mule, to accommodate it, especially ia regard to the branching power, to the reputed opinions of iho President. I'm instead of meeting us in a inutuil spirit of conciliation, tie fired, as was nptly sud by a Virgini t E Jilur, upon the 11 g of truce sent from ihe cupitol. Congress, anxious to fulfil iho expectations of the people, another bank bill was prepared, in conformity with the plan sketched by iho act iny President in his Veto message, after a previous consultation between htm and some distinguished memburs of Congress, and two leading members of his Cabinet. The bill was shaped m precise conformity to his views, as coinoi nircated by those members of the Cabinet, and as communicated to others, and was submitted to his inspection after it was so prepared; and he givo assurance that he would approve such a bill. I was no parly to tho transaction, but I do not entertain a doubt of what I state. The bill passed both Houses of Congress without nnv alteration or amendment whatever, and the Veto wus nevertheless again employed. It is painful forme to advert to a gravo occurrence, marked by such dishonor and bud faith. Although the President, through his recoinuscd organ.derides and denounces the Whigs, and disowns being one; although ho admtnisiets the Kxocutivo branch of tht Government in contempt ot their feelings nnd in violation of their pimciples; and although all whom he cho uses to have denominated as nllra Whigs, that is to say, tho great body of tho Whig party, havo enmo under his ban, and thoso of them in offieo nra threatened with his expulson. 1 wish not to say of bun one word that is not due to truth and to ihe country. I will, however , say thnt, in my opinion, the Whigs cannot be j itly responsible for his administration of tho Executive department, for tho measures ho may recommend, or his failure to recommend o'heis, nor especially for tho manner iu winch ho distributes tho public patronage. They will do their duty, I hope, towards the country, and render nil good and proper support to Government; but they ought not to be held accountable for bis conduct. They elected him, it is trim, but for another offieo, and became into tho present one by a lamentable visitation of Providence. There had been no such instance occurring under the Government. If the Whigs me bound to scrutinise bis opinions, in relerenee to an office which no one ever anticipated he would fill, ho was bound in honor and good faith todeclmo the Ilarrisburg nominal ion, if he could not conscientiously co-operate wuh the principles that brought him into office. Had the President who was elected lived, had that honest nnd good man, on whoso face, in that picture, we now g ize, havo been spa red, I feel perfectly confident that all the inc isures which the principles of tho Whigs authorised the country to expect, including a IS ink of the Uui'.cd States, would have becu eni ried. 1) it it may ho said ihat a sound currency, such as I have described, is unattainable during the administration of Mr. Tyler. It will be, if it can only be obtained through the instrumentality l a Hank of the United States, unless he changes his opinion, as he has done in regard to the laud bill. Unfortunately , our Chif .Magistrate possesses moro powers, in some respects, than u King or Queen of England. The crown i; never separated from the nation, but is obliged to conform to !?

I have so often expressed my views on j this subject, and so recently in the Seriate of the J ITniiAil Stiitec. that 1 do not think there is any oc- i casion for my enlarging upon it at this time. 1 do not think that an exhorbitant or very high tariff is necessary; but one that shall insure an adequate revenue and reasonable protection; and it so happens that the interests of the Treasury and tha wants of the people now perfectly coincide. Uuion is our highest and greatest interest. No ono can look bevond its dissolution w ithout horror and dismay. Harmony is essential to the preserraticn of the Union. It was a leading, although net lh only motive, in proposing the compromise act, to preserve that harmony. The power of protecting tho interests of our own country, can never be abandoned or surrendered to foreign nations, without a culpable dereliction of duty. Of this truth, all parts of the nation are every dav beccroinir more and moro sensible. In tho meantime, this indispensable power should be ex- ... . , - ercised with a discretion and moderation,, and in a form least calculated to revive prejudices, or to check the progress of reform now going on iu public opinion. In connection with a system of remedial measures, I shall only allude without stopping to dwell on the distribution bill, that just and equitable settlement cf a great National question, which i sprung up during ths ReroIaUnttry War, which

has seriously agitated the country, and which itjeussion nnd deliberate consideration, and nfier

it deply to be regretied had not been settled ton v,,. m m ii,ei oriiuosed. Independent of a!! ot.'ier considers i ions, the 11 uctuation in the receipts from snle of the public lands is so great and constant, 'hat it is a resource on which the General (iovernment ought not to rely for revenue. It is fir belter that the ndvice of a Democratic land committee of the Senate, ot ihe head of which j was the experienced tiui distinguished Mr. King

I hav thos suggested measures of relief adapt- ! ! ed to the present state of the country, and I have ' noticed some of ihe differences w hich unfortu j nately exist between the two leading parties into which our people are unhappily duided. In ! considering the question whether the counsels of i ! the one r the other of thco parties aro wisest , ' nnd l,i Bt calculated to advance the interests, the honor, nnd the prosperity of the nation who h every citi. n ought to do, we should discard all passion and prejudice, and exercise, as fir as possible, n perfect nupar lia! ' l y . Aod we should riol con tine our attention merely tu the pa i lieu la r measures whih thoso parties respectively espouse or oppose, but extend it to thetr general course and cm. duct, and to the spirit and purposes by which they atK animated. We should anxiously enquire, whither sbal we bo led by following in tho lead of one r the other of thu-e parties shall wo be carried to ths achievement of the glorious destiny, which p it riots here, and the libera 1 p rl m n ot mankind every where, havo fondly hoped awaits us? or sh 11 w e inglorious! v terminate our career, by adding another melancholy cxamtde of the inilabiUly of humau affairs, and iho folly with winch self-government is administered? ! I do not nrrogito to myself more impartiality, orgre itci freedom from party bias, than belong to other men ; but, unless I deceive myself, I think ; I have reached a time of life, and am now in a 'position of retirement, from which 1 can look ; hack w ilh calmness, and speak, I hope, with can- , ihir and justice. 1 do nut intend to attempt a 'general contrast between the two parties, as to iheir course, doctrines and spirit. That would be too extensive and laborious an undertaking for i ibis occasion; but I purpose to specify a few recent instances, in which, I think, our political opponents have exhibited a spirit and bearing, disI organizing und dangerous to the permanency and ; stability ot our institutions, and I invoke the serious a I'd sober attention to them, of all who are here assembled. ! The first I would nctico is tho manner in which Territories have been lately admitted, ns States, : into the Union. Tho early and regular practice ! of tho (iovernment was for Congress tu pass pre- , viotislv a law authorising a Convention, rcgola- , ting the appointment of members to it, specifying the qualification of voters, &lc. In that way most of ihe Stales were received. Of late, without any previous sanction or authority Irom Congress, several territories have proceeded ol thern- ! selves to call Conventions, form Constitutions, and demand admission into the Union; and they were ; admitted. 1 do not deny that their population and condition entitled them to admission ; but I insist (hat it should have been dune in tho regu- ' lar and established mode. In the case of Michigan, fillers liitfA al!iuol tl VaIo. loro Vin n been allowed to become pre-emptioners in the public lands. And a majority in Congress sanc tioned the proceeding. When foreigners are nattualizcd and incorporated, as citizens, in our ' community, they aro entitled lo all the priv ileges i within tho limits of the Constitution, which bo- j long to a native born citizen; and, if necessary, j they should be protected, at home and abroad-tho : thunder of our artillery should roar as loud and . as clTccliially in their defence, as if their birth . were upon American soil. Bat I cannot but ! ihmk it wrong and hazardous, to allow aliens, ; who have i it landed niton our shores, who have not yet renounced their aMeiria nee lo Foreign potentites, nor sworn tnleiny to our uns'itution, with all the influences of monarchy Mnd anarchy aboutthem, to participate in our election?, and affo -t our legislation. '2. The New Jersey election, the great seal of the Slate, and the decision of the local author j r ities wero put aide ty the House of Representatives-, nnd a imj rily thus secured to the Democratic party. ;i Nullification, which is nothing more nor less than an assumotion bv one State to abrogate with in its limits, a law' passed by the 26 States Congress assembled. -1. A lato revolutionary attempt in Miryland to subvert tho existing government, and set up a new one, without any authority of law. I The ;cfi-8,l of a minority ,n the legislature i i'"m v. ...r. ( , - . ... :n lusai was equivalent 10 announcing ihb w unug- ' ness of that minority to dissolve the Union. Tor I if thirteen or fourteen of the '-V. States were to l.r -i. -i . o . j: !...: i reiuse nuogpiner to eieci ce ua 101 s, uisiuniiiuii i of tho Union would bo the consequence. That minority, for w eeks together, and time after time, deliberately refused to enter upon the election. AnJ, if tho Union is not in fact, dissolved, it is not becauso the principle involved would not lead to a dissolution, but because lvJ or 13 'other Slates have not like themselves refused to 1 perform a high constitutional duty. And why did they refuse? Simply because they apprehended the election to the Senate of political oppo nents. I he seats ot ine two lennessee aenators, in Ihe U- S. Senate, are now vacant, and rennessee has no voice in that branch of Congross, in the general legislation. One of the highest compliments which I ever received, was to have been appointed, at a popular meeting in Tennessee, one of her Senators, in conjunction with a distinguished Senator from S. Carolina. with all the authority that such an appointment could bestow. I repeat here an expression of mv acknowledgements for tbe honor, which I most ambitiously resigned, when I gave tip my Dictatorship, and mv seat as a Kentucky Seuator. A general laugh ti. Then there is Repudiation, that foul stain uoon the American Character, cast chiefly bv j the Democrats of Mississippi, and which it will 1 . .r- i e . . , require years to etuce from our bright escutch eon . 7. The support given to Eiecutive usurpations, and the expunging the records of the Senate &f tho United States. S. The recent refusal of State legislatures to pass laws to carrv into effect the act of distribution. An act of Congress passed according to all the forms of ths Constitution, after ample dis.

me lapse oi iea v ears irom trie penoa n was nr?t proposed. It is the dutv of all to submit to ihe

la w regularly passed. Itiey may aturnpt to gel them repealed; they have a right to test their validity, before the Judiciary, but whilst the Laws remain in force unrepealed, and without anv de cision against their constitutional validity; submission to them is not merely a constitutional Ia this case, it is true. end legal but mural uuty. is to prevent minorities irom disregarding ail la w ? Is this any tnn T Wha thing but a moaitiMtioti of nuiitl;aat riiilil have ihe servants of the penpie (the Legislative bodies) to withhold fiom iheir masters, their assigned pjotHS of a great pul he fund? U. The last, though not least, instance of the manifestation of a spiri of disorganization which I shall notice, is the recent convulsion in Rhode I-dand. That little tot gaU.int nnd patii.die State and a Charter derived fri m a British King, m operation between cue and two hundred ve.us. There had been engrafted upon it laws i.tol Usages, from time to time, and altogether a practical Constitution sprung up, which carried the rotate as one of the glorious thirteen, through the Revolution and brought her safely into the Union. Under it, her (Jreens and Perrys, and other distinguished men were born and rose to eminence. The Legislature had called a Convention to rem. edy whatever defects it had, nnd tondapt it to the progressive improvements of tho age. In that work of relorm tho Dorr party might have co-operated; but, not choosing so to co-operate, and in wanton defi mre of ail established au'horitv, they undertook subsequently to call another Convention, The result wus two Constitutions, not essentially differing on tho principal point of controversy, tho right of sufiarge. Upon submitting to the People that which was formed by the regular Convention, a small niaj r1 1 y voted ngtiiist it, produced by a union in casting votes, between the I.jrr party, arid some of tho friends of ihe old Charter, who were opposed to any change. Tho other Constitution being also submitted lo the People, an apparent uifij .riiy voted for i', made up of every description of votes, legal and illegal, by proxy and oiherwise, taken t it the most irregular and unauthorized mariner. 'Iho I) rr parly proceeded to put iheir Constitution in operation, by electing him nstheGover ! nor ot tho Slate, members to the mork Legislature, and other officers. But they did not stop here; they proceeded to collect, to drill, and to marshal a military force, and pointed their cannon against the Arsenal of ihe Slato. The Prosident was called upon to interpose the ; power of the Union to preserve the peace of the Slate, in conformity with on express provision ol the Federal Constitution. And I havo as much j pleasure in expressing my opinion that he faith- j . fully performed his duly, in responding to that j call, as it gave me pain to bo obliged to animad- j vert on other parts of his conduct. j Tho leading presses of ihe Democratic party j at Washington, Albany, New Yolk and Richmond, j ! and elsewhere, came out in support ot the Dorr j 1 party, encouraging them in their work ot Rebel- ! lion and Tre.ascn. And when matters had got ' lo a crisis, and the two parties were prepaung I tor a Civil War, and every hour it was expecteii ! to blaze out, a preat Tammany meeting n? held i in iho City of New York, headed by the lending men of the party, the Carnbreliiigs, the v anderpools, the Aliens, itc, with a perfect knuwiedgc that tho military pjwer of tho Union was to be employed, if necessary, to suppress ihe insurrection, and, notwithstanding, tney passed resolutions tending to awe ihe President, and lo countenance and cheer the Treason. Fortunately, numbers of tho Dirr parly abandoned their Chief, he fled, and Rhode Island, nn (aided by any actual force of the Federal aulhoriitv, proved ncreit able to maintain law, and government wiihin their borders. I do not attribute to mv'fellow-citizens here assembled, from whom 1 differ in opinion, any dis position to countenance the revolutionary proceedings in Rhode. Island. I do not believe that ihey approve it. I do not believe that iheir party generally could approve it, nor some of the other examples of a spirit of disorganization which I hav e enumerated ; but the mislortune is, in time of high parly excitement, that tho leaders orninlm' themselves, and fioally commit the body fd their patty, who perceive that unless thej stand by and sustain ihtsr leaders, a divi,-ion nn I per haps destruction of the party would be tho consequerce. Of all the springs of human action. ! -.y ties, are perhaps the mM powerful InterI put has been unnnaprl ti bo more so: but mriv ties are most influential, unless the are regardded as a modification of imaginary interest.

It has been ittempted to defend thnt Rebellion 'upon thedctr-nes of the American Declaration j of Independents, but no countenance to it can be , fairly derived f-om them. That Declaration as- ! sens, it is truj, that whenever a Governinen becomes destructive of the ends of life, liberty anu ,ne pursuit of happiness, for the secuntv of which it was instituted, it is the right ol the Pco ! pic to altar or abolish it, and institute new govI ernment; and so undoubtedly it is.

Why i!ws would overrun all social orgatu. ition, make Revolutions tho rxtrrmo and last resort of an oppressed people the commonest occurences of h Jinan life, and tho standing order of ihe day. How such a principle would operate in a certain section of this Union, with u peculiar pop. ; ulation, you will readily conceive. No community could endure Mich an intolerable sta'o ol things anv where, arid ail vvou'd, sooner or later, t..ko ; refuge, from sm h ceaseless agitation, in tho calm : repose of absoiuto despotism. 1 know of no mode bv vvhi. h nn cxisiing (i iv- ! ernment can be meilhrown nnd put a-it!e, and a ! new one erected i:i its place but bv the consent , ir authority of that Gov et nmen t, ext'ttss or implied, or by forcible resistance, that is Revolution. Fcilo Citizens: 1 have enumerattd these ev , amples of a dangerous spirit of disoi g aniz ition, ; and disregard of law; with no purpost; i,f giv itig offence, or exciting bitter nnd unkind feelings, ! here or elsewhere; but to illustrate tho principles, cha racte r and tendency of iho two great parties into which this country is divided. In nil of these examples the I- inucratie party, as it j calls itself, ( i denomination to which respectfully think it has not the lens! j 1st pretension.) or jlargo portions of that ptrty, extending to whole .States united with a p pari nt cordiality-. To all ol ; tliom the W'hig party was constantly and fl.-mly j opposed. And now let me ask you, in all candor i and sincerity, to say truly and irnpat tiall y to which of these two parties can the interests, the happiness, and the desiinirs of this gieat people bo mosi safely conii ied ? I appeal c specially, and with perfect confidence, to the candor of the real, ihe ancient and long tried I ) moerae v--t ha t old Republican party, with whom I stool, sido by side, during some of the darkest days of the Republic, in seasons of both War and Peace. Fellow-citizens of all parties! '11. e present situation of our co uitrv is one of uue.x d (IIS tress and difiicultv ; but there is no occasion for any despondency.
