Her sons were great staitsmen. YVoshinton, and Jefferson, and Mad derson, and Marsliall, and Muoro (who willed us ail Amerika and the iluns in tiie see) and Giles, and Mason, and Floyd, and Wyth and boys ot that sort were Virginmans. The union of the Slaits was firmed, and the Oonstitushon of the Unity Staits was made, intendin to secure and protect the rites of tiie Staits. Yir giuny was a Stait then. This was long ago in time of peace. After a spell we * got into war with Inglon in delence of Massaciiusits seemen and Massachusits oouimu-, and when all the nashon was strippiu for a big fire and rushin to the battle feel, while Yirginnians and ev ery man from all the other Slates wen for standin up for the old flag agin the eiieny, poor little shiverin Massachu sits got sceered agiti, and her o cn were me tin in a Uarifoo convenshon and fixin to quit the Union, and burnin blew lifes to show the ennitny where to Lind and take the country.

Was too nu merous and powerful. Gen. Lee sur. rendered to Gen. Grant, and when the o'her Confederate leaders saw Lee a prisoner they knew that the cause was gone, and as they fjuglit for indepen dence, when they saw there was no hope of obtaining that object, they all voluntarily surrendered, and the wor was at an end; i ut the question of the cxestence of Virginny a> a Stait was niver put at issue in that site Lincunj said Ire only wanted to save the .Union; Congress said so; the army said so. The solgers volunteered to save tiiat. Now what Union did they want to save? N< t the Union between. Massachusits i and Connecticut and the other Staits * not seseded, that Union was not in danger, but the old Union as it stood before the wor. Not a Union between Massachusits and the territory ot Vir ginny. No siteh union ever existed, and no man ever declared sitc-h a pur pose. No army could have been mus terc 1 in this Union with sitch an ob ject in view, with enny other leader then Ben Butler the beast and tiie Massachusittprs, and not them if enny fiten was to be. did.’ T?o, Mr. Presi. dent, Virginny aint no territory y it, Go you remember, Mr. Jtyhusing, how Old. \ irginny got to he two Staits, and Peerpint and Boarinun got to be her govners?. * I remember somethin about it; tell me all about it, ses the President. Well, then, scs I when the Virgin* r.y convenshon tried to sesede the dtait, ait in a lump, ae-jm, in the Stait was oppose i t 0 .sess£-shon These forty men sent representatives, to a convenshon at Wheelin, up in the Panhandle. They soon put the. Stait back—that is, they sed the Stait had not gone no whar else; that she was whar she always was in the Union.’ liincum aed so too, and told them to Lold*their holt.as they was. So they appinted pussin Peerpint govn'r,’ and sot up shop in a ambulance, as the cap ital of Virginny, at wheelin, and com menced pussin laws like five hundred But they hadn’t got far before a iuss took plais in their camp, The Pan! an die wanted to sesede from Virginny, and they called a convenshon about as big as a. clod of dirtc, and made a Stait constitushonof Panhandle, Virginny, c-al ing the new Stait West Virginny, and appinted Squire Boarinun their govner. But Passin Peerpint had no idee of givin up his appintiuent, at the hands of the thirty Pauhan alers and the nine other Yirginnians, and deN termined to migrate; so he mounted his old gray mare, with the nrkives in his saddle bags, and rid nitc and day till he got clean out of the Panhandle, and out of danger of Mosby k Stuode; jile iapded at Alexandiy as a saif place. Here he called his five legislators to gether, and went to passin of lors like thunder. You remember, West Vir gitiny wanted to git into Corgrcss, and somebo ly found a difficulty. Ihe Con stitusbon of the Unity Staits says some thing about makin new Staits in the bounds of the old Staits. Here was the difficulty. ■ Mr. Liucum wus not much tVubbled on that account; he didn’t, strain at no nuts; he s“d Cop on-ess can cure sich dei’eets. lie was .o ! vvil.in to take the Panhandle enny way- But some of his Congress sed j they Couldn’t vote tor the bill until they knew Virginny consented to it j Passin Peerpint’s boys corue to their j relief. The legislator at Alexandry, | composed of about five men, represent tin in all about nine men, includ in themselves, passed a lor, say in Virgin” try consents, to the mak meut ot' \V est i • Virginny, and then a lor that nob dy but themselves should vote or hold of’ j 1 sis in Virginity. The difficulty js re | | moved. West Virginity is received into Congress. Lincum sed, all rite. ‘ Congress sed, all rite. Bourtuan, the govner, sed all rite; and passiu Peer pint sed, all rite. All sed all rije all round the. horde. Yet the Radicals de” ,ny that Virginny is a Stait. If Vir ginny aint. no Stait, West Virginny couldn’t be made. Every member of Congress who voted for recevin West Yirginnv into the Union did so on the m/ # # supposition that Virginny wus a Stait consentin to the fortnashon of the new Staic, or lie committed perjury. “I see how it is,” ses the President “My opinion is confirmed, and L will act. on it till the cows couie home. All the Staits is Sraits yit, and I’ll site for them. If Virginny aint no Stait, Tennessee aint none, and if Tennessee aint none, I aint President, But lam President, and I will execute the lore- that is mv bisness. I will doustice ; and, Major, I’ll tdl you.what : 1 intend to veto every hill affeettn the Southern S aits. tdl thiY reprisentativea a:e al lowed to take their seats. I doubt Major, whether Congress can pass a io.r while nearly half the .Staits am kept out of > ’engross. One Stait vong fufly kept out of Cotigress yishiates all the degisLshon and dissolves the Uaiotf.” • • ■ . • Just at this time somebody. rung the door bell, and Mr . Johusing stop ped torkin. In a niinnit tiie door o|>-- envd. and the man announced Mr. Sumner of Massadhusits-. ’ “Pontake Massachfisits!” ses the- President. “Tell him to come in this instant. Pont you move, Majer ; keep your see’ ands e the fun.” Mr. Sutuner came in with a smile on his face; Now Mr. Sumner is a nice looking man —a good, kind havted feller,-a frond ly lookin man-, pu tie.lur so towards the President at t.liis par ticiar time. Ses lie..“Mr. President., I.called to consult about the Now York collector ship. • . ’ . “Cotifound your pictcr, scs the F’rcs i lent ; I never axed you.r ad vise about tiie New York colleetorship, nor ihout enny thing else. \ou area iiitiooni/. poop, ennyhow. I have been witehin your course’ in the. Sennit, an 1 I am glad of this chance to tell you you u i- c a low spirited puppy. Get out of my or I will keek you out. When Mr. Johnsing commenced torkin, Mr. Sumner sidled round to where I was sittin on the sof'er, and piitrin his arm around me whispered “Don’t let. him hurt me, please sir. Idont meen no hafm ; lain apeetea ble man. I don’t want to make the President mad. Pleese. sir, beg for me; I am leered he will hurt me. Ses I, “Mr.. Sumner, run If you can. Mr. Sunnier ris, aid the President, thinkin he meant lite, pitched at • him 3lr. Sumner made for • the door; the President kicked at him as ho passe if. I ho.pe he did ijot hurt him mutch. I heard a dull kind.of a sound, like a ican'kickin a bag of meal. Mr. Sum tier’s co-te tail flew up, and lie fetched a smart grunt, and limped in both legs. When lie got into the lull, the servant cotch him by the collar, and thinkin he had hit the President, or stoled somethin, choxed him rite smartly, til] I could holler to him to let the poor man go, which Mr. Sumner p-i ----] fir* WHrn Tip crot to tlio front door, he called the servant, and J axed hiru Jc beg the President and the harted gentlo.'tian not to say nothin about what had tokej place, as he did not intend harm to nobody, u!)d was a freed to* the President. When the sound of Sumner’s Too.s died away ses the President— “Majer, T give him fits didn’t 1 ? lie aint, commin here no more to .die.- tare to me who to appint collector at New York, let him go home now to h-s hole and console himself, if he feels like it, with Burns’ poems. I aint i much of a man foi poetrv. Major, the only piece I ever knew was about old Jim Squier who fell in the - fire, Ac, &c, and L think it rather suits Sumner. Did Burns write that piece Major ? There was a heap of burnin in it. . Ses 1, Mr. President, poor Sumner, poor Sumner ! Let him rest, lets dont j tell enny body nothin about his visit here this tnornin. Agre id, said the President. Majer, when I fust come to Congress from Tenncs T c there wont no Sumner there ; there wont uo U ilson there ; there avont no Thai Stephens there ; there wont no It ad teals there, hut seech men as Henry < lay and Datinel Web ster, and John C. Calhoon, and Tom Benton, and John Giaton, and Sela llite, and Jesse Brite and men of that sort were in voag ; they were all good men, sometimes difierin in polleticks, but all honest lovers of the country and the hole country. It was then a great pleasure to be in public life, But times is changed for the worser. A sectional party, sprung up on Ply* mouth Hock in Cape God. Itgrowed in oark and gathered venom with its growth tell by pisoning the public mind by the pulurt, the press, and ihe schoolroom it absorbed the other par ties ; it was a whirlpool, it drew every-, thing into its Vortex, religion, pollotins, education, egislashon, family and pub lic virtue, and everything become cor rupted. Tn.c goo . men of that section, an f Majer, 1 know there.are cords of good folks there yit, had to go into ridremen-t and ‘let the pigmees floatin ou th 6 scum'of the whirlpool come in to power. Hence came Charles Sum ner and Henry AY ilsont, and eiift rs of that stripe, pisoned scorpions, tree frogs, swel erin pisnn under their'tongs. Maggits and’ tadpoles, weggletails and Dole eats spring into life in the rotcen society in which they live. Majer, the great sin of the passed was listened to the call for protective tariffs and for monopolys and foundation on which the Puritans have built , there is where our pre decessois sowed the seeds of ruin in : our s/stem. Protection ought to scese ; all the St-iits’.ou.lit to be on an equal ity. Protection to one n eans oppres sion to the others. V hat do you think of tliis view, Majer ? Mr. President, ses TANARUS, them is my sentiments. Massachusits ought to come down from her stilts, and if you don’t reccommed free trade and sailers i rites the country will never be passe- fide. Th r G a storm bruin, in the North West. ‘They jay rhair* taxis yit. b t I hear muKerin thunder ctmi in from that quarter. * Tin v see the Putitoßs proteetcd by .tariff and mob opperlies and bo.iinties.

This ain’t ‘he fust time in my nieinry when the -ou-itry was calj *d to - considder this verry question. In the days of Gin ncta! Jackson [ and he settled it, we hoped fin illy. on the terms of the Cla - toa Compromise (some call it the v lay ompromse, but the. credit belonged to Ciaton ) The tariff by that went down to whot Ginneral Jackson call'd the rovenn standard ; but w!;cn the old hero aiid T left the White llous’c and went home, the MassachusircrS I begun by. degrees to aggitate the tariff : question ‘ agin, they had had their hands so-long in the people’s pockets they tbuiid it hard to keep them out. They cride and b gge’d’ till Congriss moved by their crocsidele tears and lammenta ions passed other, tariff* lms; and now when the dot is so big that the bige-cst Idol in the Union knows it will never be p lid, these tariff men have hot’ up the bonds and swear they wont pay no tax on them, and that a high tai iff is got tp be fixed mi thceountry till some unborn Mithuseler dies with ole aige. The West sees, this stait of things, and they are grumblin. They git no jiro ee.-iion. Ttiey have to dig their mutiny out of the groun, and it, is hard work tor them to pay the taxes and then make tong and buckle meet. Somethin is got to be did. The tar iff tiiat fattens the Capo Codders and starves the rest of the Union is got. lo be fixed r te. Taxes must be raised 80iuo other wav or bathera liou will he.n in your auminstrashon on a 1 sides.

But I do mean to say that no Democrat ever would have taken it. It was uot a YOL. VI.—No. 10. .ca-e Tor any mistake, for it was marked with my name in various places, and the contet ts of it would discKse to al most anybody whose property it was. 1 by no means intend to charge upon the Republicans having taken posses ion of the bag ; least of all would I attribute tin* taking of it to Get oral Kilpatrick, who has 1 een here. 1 de sire to say, in defence of Gen. Kilpat* rick, that he is much more remarkable for losing his own baggage than for’, taking the baggage-of any one else. Nor do I hold him entirely to blame for that, because, if 1 can depend upon the representation's >t his soldiers and officers, the quantity of Ids baggage requires a vast deal more watching than I have evt-r been able to givo to mine. - - -* • ■— Klou ClmrlcK 11. Minilli, Senator from ilie Rome District, is the obaorved of all observers. 11 is seat is to. rho right of the President, about midway the side Will of the chamber, ah i directly un ler the full—length por trait of Old llickoty—Jackson. ‘ lie is the first Senator the stranger asks to ■ see on entering {ho gallery, and espec ially sOj if the aforesaid stranger be of gentle sex. A casual spectator at fir.-t glance, would hardly single out a small,, trim, yet grave and dignified person, the crown of whose head is unadorned with capi lary ornaments, t< be the veritable and inimitable “Hill Arp,” of continental celebrity. 11 is stature i< Napoleonic very slightly exagerated,- and.his port is Chesterhe!, iian, sans the stilts.. Hut for his laughing blue eye, _ full of lufking liumor and quiet mis-- chief and beaming with intelligence and bonhommie, one would set him down lor another of Carlyle s Eastern men I. have not seen him on his’legs in the Senate, and am therefore unpre pared to form any opinion of his ability as a parliamentary speaker, If lie should speak there as well as he writes —his mental and phisical conforma tion is a far and happy one He is Chairman of the Committee on Li- . nance, and is winning and enviable reputation in that difficult branch of Legislative science. That is his first term of service as a Legislator, and should file meridian be as bright as tho orient promises, his career will be ono . of usefulness and fame lie is a law yer by profession, and, L have been told, ranks among the foremost of the Cherokee Bar. Tis strange be should o'loeoa cuoli a litigious VOCUtiotl in Ins view ot his naiuiUi anu ii.vi.uio avowed harmonizing proclivities and dispositions. En passant, he comes honestly and not-.hereditarily by those harino nzin g .elements of character anu temper, if Combe be authority. His father was a'native of B >ston and his • mother was a native of'Ohurleston —tho blood of Massachusetts and South Oar p,;'>a .commingling in his views!
