Sir. let me not le misunderstood. I.et no one infer that I am indulging ia any tirade against the President, or that 1 am venting any spleen whatever. ISo,.sir; no.

Ho of tvhoui 1 speak is, 1 deeply reri t. now K intr on the couch of suffering, the last, I fear, from what I am told, of his suli'eiincs in this world of sorrow.

I do not mean to accuse the President of all these enormities against civil liberty, of which I have asked h he znillij! Nor do admit, if he is guilty of them, that the pc opfe hav e sanctioned all or any which I have enumerated. Put sir, I merely state the fact, that the party who claim to hold him in keeping, and to hold on to Lis powsr after him, claim and tell us that the people have yielded every thing worth preserving, anil have sanctioned all these enoriii-iies, and more and worse. What their object may he in admitting these en-

The fact is alarming so, that eve duimi ure now bet up going so far as to asperse the people whom they affect so much to reverence with opprocii.g and tsanetioning i.roxerijition, eon up! ion, ttrhilruni

At the same liinr, I do not mean to say he has not committed many grievous eiTors. Per many of them not par, I can well aeeoun-. i.houth I eanard ui.

Thus were the Perenni Cleanders prompted by a Commodus. and surli ministers were w ell quulilied to drive from the esteem of such a prince the 'faithful counsellors to whom a Marcus hail recommended his son." The one "a servile and ambitious minister, who had obtained ids post by the murder of his predecessor, but who pos.-es-ed a considerable share of vitrorand ability;" the other "was a Phrygian by birth, ol' a nation over whose stubborn but servile temper blows only could prevail.

Again, sir, an incident in the history of this same Emperor, very similar to the one in the history of our own President, accounts for his hostility to the Roman Senate. "One evening, as the Emperor was returning to the palace through a dark and narrow portieo, in waited tne amplt'icatre, an assassin, wlio i is passage, rushed upon him with a drawn sword, loudly exoiaimmg, j t,v Senate sends you this.' The conspiracy was proved to have been formed, not in the Senate, I ut within the walls of the palace." lint, "the words of the assassin sunk deep into the mind (if Commodus. and left an indelible impression of fear and hatred against the whole body of the Senate. 'Phe J)i futon, a race of men it ii i ..i.i discourage i am 1 aluio.-t extinguished tindor the dablo aormer reigns, eoon as they gain became formieliseovcred that the Emperor was desirious fection and treason in the ; linding cisai ,b. Semite. " Sir. we all know that in the suappin ol a pereussion cap the President heard distine Iv the word The cm sends you this' that that detestable nee of men Delatorwere ready to swear that the conspiracy was formed in the Senate; ami u there was not a better reason, perhaps to tne act of a madman now contined in prison might be ascribed the Presidents past hostility to the Senate. Put -there is a bel ter reason. "15v declaring themselves the protectors of the people, Marius and Ca-sar subv erted the constitution of their country. And. perhaps, in the histories of Marias and Ca-sar our modern Cleanders learned that an "humble end disarmed'' Senate is alvvavs "found a tractable and useful instrument of dominion." In a certain event, if the eleetion of President had failed in this House, an "humbled and disarmed Senate" might have been found a "tractable and useful instrument," indeed to elect an Elagabahis. under whom another Hii roeles might have enjoyed the honor of being 'empress, husband;" and under w hom "a dancer might have been made pra feet of the city, a charioteer j.ra foct of the watch, a barber priffeet of the provisions," and rdl "recommended as fit officers cn irnii.'it.'i inemhrorutn!' or, 1 might enumerate numberless such excuses for numberless such errors of the President, or rather of the President's minister'. Put enough

has been said,and I iiieaii not to condemn . is a traitor, sir." "There, there!" repeater accuse him, I repeat but to defend the ' ed the demagogues to the crowd "did you people whom "the party" accuse and ' not hear that? " What think yon of another, condemn. General?" "He is a liar, sir!" "What If it be true, as we are told, and I do of another?" "lie is a black-cockade not say it is not true, that the President Federalist!" Of another? "7e made a has made and unmade men in office, has speech for which he paid some fitenograproscribed the faithful, has corrupted the'pher 5 dollars!" And another M-as "Of pure, has humbled and disarmed the Sen-; no account sir, and ought to be sent home

"But, Genranged the currency and endangered every i end, what think you of Mr. (the first man's estate, has controlled elections, has time Pe-uben was ever called Mister!) Rcuasstimed royal prerogatives, made him- ben M. Whitney?" "There is no just self a king and a king bis successor; and, -cause of complaint against Mr. Jfdtney. if it be also true, w hich 1 utterly de- j sir; he is as true a patriot as ever was; ny, that the people hav e sanctioned ail this j they are rdl liars who accuse him of aught exercise of absolute power, 1 ask gentle-1 wrong, and the official documents prove men of all parties, those even who claim; them to be so!" All the while these Tela lie the exclusive keepers of the King's j spouses were repeated by the deacons of

conscience, ll tins (toes not prove one virtue the virtue of constancy, at least in the people? Have tiny not been constant and confiding beyond measure, in their attachment to nutS Has their fault not been in too much confidence and con stancy. If what they say be true, and it is a mam argument witii them boat "Die voice of c ',plc is the voice of God," that whatever Jackson has done they have sanetiond; mat he spake, and they willed it; that he. v etoed, and thev v oted with i;o; that he dictated, and they obeyed, is this not proof positive that their allections and their v oices have ever sustained, have ever animated. Lave ever indulged, have ever justified and excused him? Such unexampled constancy, such unexampled attachment and affection were nev er wiliu sse d before in anv people towards any ruler; and I put it to the candor and sense of justice of all men to say whether what the people have yielded to their favorite has not been inure, trebly more, than reward enough for all his services and sacrifices, however great? Admitting the ilobt of their gratitude to him to have been even so great, I ask if the ciebt has not been more than paid? Whether the President does not now owe more than he can ever pay to a generous people, vv ho Lave confidingly, to a criminal degree, entrusted him with their all their honors, their rights, their liberties, their sov-erc-igh power! Sir, what can one aged man. last to a peop! hurrying to the grave, j in consideration of what the treasures of earth, and all the blood of tliein and their children, mav not hu ? Nothing! Nothing. Yes, yes, there is one boon, one sacred legacy, ef inestimable value, which, in purling from them and the world, l.o might Lave loft them. He might Lave left them the legacy of a patriot's advice. IJeiuight have left them the truth, and solemnly imprinted it upon their minds and memories for ever, that then hud f rir'c :' h t in too much, and his advice to them, "never, in their history, to trust another man as they had trusted him," and he might have returned to them their trust, and have restored to them their enscs. TL, is and this fmlv, would have pr( ired them. It would have restored to them wiiat mis oeen la ken irom mem, which alone can compensate for itself. The last mtssage of such a President to such a people, should have been the "farcin "' of a father to his eboh'ren. It should Lave been deep in wisdom, profound in its philosophy , hallowed in its lessons of virtue, caiin in its tone and temper of reason, eloquent ia its appeals, sublime in its morals, and passionate only in its lervent alloction boon the legacy of Am cossors, the "farewell" It shoul lavei aistus to his sucaddress of Washi; ui to his couutrvmon: Put i.v is the last annual message of Andrew Jackson! I would, for Lim and his country, t tbt it w; any tiling but w it is. And why is it what it is? Gentlemen will pardon me 1 mean nothingdisrespeeifid to the President when I say they know it is due to candor raid truth to say it is what it is, because is not the mensu?c at all f . lih'rav Jackson. They KIIOW that iinmedi itelv upon the adji iiiru - ment o the last session of Congress, the President and his Prime .Ministers were dispersed from their duties at the seat of Government, and from the cares of public business, on their respective missions to the States of the I'nion. lie of State lore dcspaiOi lespaiches lo Georgia, and "the Old Chief himself" was hi jd along through Western Virginia, over 'lints an, I ridges, -And b i lrcs -Made of plank"!
