After some further remarks of tlto nbove nature

A. suid that tl wns not Ids intention to exempt si k
f"i’ii luxation; but iliiswu* ihe wrong time; tl wus
bad p- li* y lo inirodiu-u lira subject now.
I li t movers in this tnniu-i knew very well that
lira .clrame c-.uld not fa pusfal tlirough ot the nre
sent se«-ion, ami ii it e-iuld. it would not sff-od re
lief in time. IVliat llran wn* lira object? Why it
wa* to fioestoll public oplmun—to shew the over
whelming nee* svity • I # high tariff, nnd lokrihg it
down op- n them al the called session. r ‘ ‘*
true as Holy Writ.
Mr A. ptoceeiled to ar. it'that the proper course
would fa to iuave lha til ill - quest ion until the regu
lar session of Congress, when lira people of tfa
Sooth would come up to il like men, and object to
no n-asonnble plan l-»r miring ruvi liue tu meet the
wants ol the Guvernmrnt
He then refered to lira plan for a distribution of
tfa public land., nnd m iir.teined that it w*s only a
gihlod fait. It was a plnn to Nbstmci some mil
lions from the revenue. It was n secret pulling of
lira wires by the tariff man before Gen. Httrriton
camu into power.
As to lira wants of Government.lt was his opinVto
tha' tbe present duties nn iinpotts would be amply
sufficient to meat lira want#m lira coming adunnis
tratran; for the election ar Harrison had infused
life and confidence every where, and from allap*
pnarances them would fa no laek of means.
Alter advening to several other topics, Mrr A ,
concluded by warning his friends a|«lnst a called • io.700ba)fc*, of wWoh
session- Ha reminded tfartr that a called session . ^-mjjrjorjda at 10 a Ilf6 145
wna the eaus . iff lira downiull uf Mr. Vnn Buien, • -— " , * a - *
end fa featrd such n oouiBs would have tfa same
