that we should begin in due time, IL we wish bur

wing will cheer up the discontinued, detected and
despondent wings Of this District just before the
election in August next. II may not be improper
TO conjecture haiti will be quite amusing 10 hear
the independent portion Of our wh4g trIends at
tempt to address the people of this District next
simmer. In all probability we may saIelv antiei-
pate that they will begin some what after this way
GentlemeB, l sIvedld be glad 10 enter and proceed
fengthiiy upon the ject of United States Bank
but ii is crushed to death never more TO raise It's
hydra head while the hercoean spirit of democracy
and as it is doubtful whether the
power is delegated to Congress to establish such
an institution, fdeem il unnecessary to proloDg my
remarks on ibis SUBJ and i believe we can do
very well without it, as the exchanges and the
general prosperity of The country fully demonstrate
would also address youlenghiiy upon the subject
of the Tariff, and endeavor to prove that high ex-
orbitant duties make goods cheap if the American
manufacturer did not raise the price OF his goods IN
TO the amount OF duty raised but as
nearly every person begins to understand the ope-
ration and policy of high protective Tariff, must
forego any further remarks this subject, only TO
say that the democrats have said that they have dl-
vested the subject of the Tariff Of its mask that II
IS no longer susceptible of imposition or deception
but think we can stand little while longer upon
the article of nails, they are cheaper now than
they ever were before; but the democrats have
said that owing 10 the inexhaustble mines Of iron
in The United States. assisted by capital and en-
terprise, nails could be manufactured and sold
(without levying any duty on Ihem) fer 20 per
cent. less than the present prces and the capital
lists and laborers would realize better profit than
they could by raising cotton, corn, rice, wheat,
oats, barley, or any agricultural product; and II
this be true, have nothing to say in favor of pro.
teetlng the few at the expense of The many. i
would like to say something upon the subject of
annexing Texas to the United States, showing
that such union mi ght possibly create war
foreign and domestic as was expected; but resolu-
tlons Of annexation having passed both houses pre-
VIous TO the ad1our OF the last Congress, and
no Injurious consequences have resulted from said
action, ii IS natural for TO suppose that any re-
marks may make in opposition to this Important
subject will not be favorably received l. have
thought. and still think that Mr. Clay placed the
wings last spring in a miserable stew about this
matter. -r-L


Such, l am confident, will be the lone of the
language that viii be used next summer by the in
dependent wings of the country; and whoever the
democrats selects TO be run by them may rest on
his back half his time and reply to the most ultra
oe their fraternity, and that with ease and IN such
a forclbie manner as 10 insure success. ! under
stand that some Of the democrats have suggested
Ihatit is unnecessary TO hold convention to nom
US ruughshod but | object 10 il: First, because
we have too many sterling and undertaking demo-
Gratis not 10 have leader, public eefender; and
second because we are brave and patriotic peo-
pie, ever ready to show fight without rejecting
on the paucitY of pumbers-we will plant our
standard and upfurl il to ihe breeze, If we perish
in the battle. And our. principles being of pure
and lofty character; representing our glorious Con-


stitution 10 the letter, ever ready TO secure the
greatest good TO the greatest numter exerting our


selves 10 the utmost promulgatiRg and establish


ing our civil and religious Institutions throughout
the North American continent and the whole
world ; may we not expect to find in this lutelli-
gent District majority of those who acting here
tOlOre Win lne wing party. DOT unlike Lyons OF
Virginia, MenIck of Maryland, johnson Of Loui-
siana, Henderson Of Mississippi and host of
others who have rebounced their greatest portion
of whiggery, and shown themselves like true pa
uiots in favor Of sustaining our Southern institu-
tons and preserving the whole URion


| take the whig party, at least the ndepeh-
dent portion of them; of this District, 10 be high
minded and patriotic as any belonging 10 the same
party in any part Of the United States and in their
owR good time they will eVince il 20 n candid and
uuprPJudiced country. II is generally understood
that the ultra wings will man who Is in favor
OF fifty million soulless nlonied Monopoly, in Ia
vor of high protective Tariff. and opposed 10 the
annexation Of Texas to the Union. Can't we call
a convention and select man who will suit the
highmnded independent portion of the wings, as


well the democrats, better than an ant-anne xa-
tionist2 / think so.,- We have a host of talent
and worth in our district among ,hem may be
found MARcHANT, CRANBERRY, HEATH, JOHNSON,


STALLINGs, MooRE, MEBANE, BRAea, and BIoGs-


good and true, of sound political integrity ex-
ceEent speakers, well conversant with the politics
Of the countryS either of whom would fiil the


station with honorsand dignity. l confidently be-


heFe that if the democracy would unite either


one of the above named gentlemen he would re-
ceive the entire strength Of the friends Of annexa-


tion, which would be the whole of the democrats
and large share of the whig party. "--


IF, gentlemen, you conclude TO hold aconven-
tion (GatesVie appears to- be fit place, and Sat
the party could respond,) and select candidate


who would probably travel and proclaim from one


end of the District to the other the principles OF


our party, which will accord with the principles OF
