.iJgscelaeos se RflIA.RKS OF MR. PICKENS, OF- sOTH - CAROLINA, In the House of Representatives, March 27, :1840-In the debate upon the Treasuty note bill, after Mr. Graves concluded his speech at large; and' Mr. Black had responded to some remarks made by bir. Graves in the course of his speech. Mr Pickens rose and said: Mr. Chairma: Why the gentleman from Kentucky [,Mr- Graves) sholti have held me up as a pinit upon which to make his attack I am at a loss to discove:- but I will eomncnce the very few remarks I intend to make, by re peating the language of that gentleman, used in reference to iyselt, "that I inean nothing dis respectflal or personal" in the short reply ishall make. I understand the gentleman to commence his remarks in a mianner rather cormp linmenta. ry. In this supposition. I believe I am not inistakei. [.Alr. Graves nodded assent.] I underatodd him to put his attack upon public grounds, because ot'the position which I hap.-1 pen to occupy beforethe country. Upon these I grounds I will meet him. The indication of of such an attack, was given last ni;ht ; it was heralded with a flourish of trumpets, and I was challongPd tobe in my seat.' Sit, I re Iiiiiiiiid here.

What were the principles upon.which L stood at the time to which he.alladila . Is he- awvare that, in the session ofl 34 and le:35,.when the Ieaders of the then Adminisration party intro. duced into this House the ftnons pet biksys. tem, and organized a lea,-uesfbaiks from one end of the Uanion to the oilier to be connected :with-the Government by political princiiples, and for political puirpoes, I stood then precise. -1v where [-have everstaond, in opposition to it. Andr at the same period- when a distingnished ' gentleman from Petinsylvania, [Mr. liinney.) distinguished ilike frihis talets.and the. an -tegritv -of his charictemr, ittroduiced his amend. tets on tie other side. re1.errinjto the restor ntipnuof the deo-ites, aid looking to the cstab - ishment ofa National- Dank. I stood between the two parties then, precisely upon the prirci piesiwhere I stood in the year 1837, at. the ex - - tr:, session. A proposition was introduced in the form of a bill, in February, 1835. by a Alii tinguished filend of mine. from Virginia, (Gen. Gordoni.) which embraced preciely the. lude' pendent Treasury.bill under 'which parties -were orgauized a the extra sessisen ofl8%tTnpon the same principles which I believe to be iden. tified.willi the best.ttnerents uad ase titi.t - rights of ny-.-comatry. . Yes.sir Ivoted in the session of 1P34 and -i-163, tpon tho very sane measstife, almost ver. bttim, on which I voted in 1837. 1 thenstood - .between the two great parties, in a minority. of thirty three. Where then is-thischange of principles? In a free country, it is ipon die fiscal action of Government that all parlties per. manently-divide; and anm L to leave a position, embracing. as it does, fundamental priticiples in Goversisnent, because others choose to rally on it? It is true, I entered Congress while very yoing, with thedeepest and most liun - roising tostilitv to the principes of the Force Bill an J thte'Proclamatioon. antd the mecas tire.< and ptrinciles that lollowed thmeni. l~an tibal. at the age of sni years. is- said to have bien' led to the altar of his comitiry,'ad .miade to swear eternal enmity to Jiotne. Sir, at thme threshhold ofeatrly public life; I laid my:~ htand upon the altnr of itv country and swore eternal enmity iso the priticiple's of' the Proclsimatisn and the Force Di I. Mly State had been to viled and oppressed. It wac uinder this feeling. and entertainitig such setitiments, th at! entered Conigress, ansd delivered the .speeches from which the gentt'emsan from 'Ketucky hsas thotsght proper tso quote so libe'rally. In pusb lie life me'asmses constitute onie thing. and mets another. -H ave I chatiged as to mensures? No. Asid I now proclatim to h:m. and to this Ilouse. that, if I live losng enough, and re~maiun a member of this body, I shall. at a proper titme. iuntrodutce a hill to repeal the odious mneasture to which I have allstdcd. I will mtake it as test qnsestion. I will demand its repe'al as due to the cottntry, and due to the Cotistitnttion. Sir, I defy the'gentlemani from Kentitcky to point to the retraction of a principle I have ever sits taimed, or to the sutpport of measure I have ever . l is knowvn to be the habit of my life to die. guise nto sentinmenit I entertaitn, bitt! shtould not I have spokent thus of msyself, if the gentleman, had not asked me,. if I could, t:. sattisfy my, God and may cotuntrv na to the course I have. takent. Sir I can 'do so. I know where I stand. I s:attd upon the principles of the State Itights party. They iseed no defence from me. Go to the conventtion that franmed ~ your C~ostistntions, antd front tha' day to this their p rincipsles andh their ncts stand ont as tandmaitrks by which to honnsd and define Reptubicutn lib erty. I know fnll telcl thtit the party so which the gentlemsan from Kentucky. is allied, and with which lie sympathizes, is deeply htostile to these princ iples-hostile, be'antse they stanid in the waiy to the attainmnent of thme deare'st oh-. jects of' pow'er.
