him to partake "with them of a public
st EdgefieW Court House, on'WednesdHy,
the 19th Jaly. A large and respectable par
ty assembled on the occasion, and with much
harmony and hilarity partook of an excel
lent dinner. After the cloth had been re

which, with' Mr. M*l>uAe*s speech, were
received by the company with the warmest
applause. '

5. George ArDttfie.??'Throughout his
splendid political career, he has been the
consistent, fearless and eloquent advocate of
the people's rights; regardless of men in
the vindication of principle.
Tills toast was received with much enthu
siasm, and after it had been Uruuk, Mr.
M'DuiTie rose aiul said:
411 should be utterly unworthy, fellow
citizens, of the partial and indulgent kind
ness which you nave invariably manifested
towards me in every vicissiUide, mid of
which 1 am at this time the favored object,
if 1 could receive, without impressions of
the deepest sensibility, this Mattering to
ken of your uivdiminishcd contidencu in my
political principles and your unqualified com
mendation of my public conduct. The
warm and hearty approbation of those who
have confided to me the high and sativd
trust of which 1 am the depository, could
not fail at any time and under any circum
stances, to afford me the most solid gratifi
cation. But ut thin time and under exiting
clreuinatuncea, it is not only a source of pe
culiar pleasure, but of cheering consolation:
For if evor there was a conjuncture in tSe
affairs of any nation, when, in addition to
the consolations of a self improving ootisci
ousness, the approbation of the people?the
unbought u/i/irohiition cf the fico/i/c, was
necessary to sustuin the advocates of their
rights 1m the fearful and perilous conflict
witli "principalities and powers"?Such, 1
will venture to say, is the portentous crisis
in the affairs of this republic, in which it
tins been my destiny to act?whether for
good or for evil-, God, who still holds the is
sues in his hands, can alone determine.
When, in the sentiment which you have
been pleased to express in relation to my
public, services, ydu honor me with the ap
pellation of the " fearless advocatu of the
peoples rights," you pay inc, 1 assure you,
no ordinary compliment. The rcprvunitu
tivc, who in vindicating the rights of the
people, finds it nccess:iry. to Cxifewe and dc
iiouncc the machinations by which these
tight* have been violated,?and violated too,
by the pCrsfris who administer the executive
government and dispense its patronage,?
must have u morul energy which looks i'eitr
lculy to tlte possible consequences, or he lit
utterly unfit lor such an undertaking. And
what an: those consequences? 'iluiw: who
have not made it their business to examine,
in detail, the practical operations of the ex*
ccutive government, who have not directed
their attention to the silent, uatccn and per
vading influence, whlclt an administration
who have no moral Kru)>lei to restrain them
from u>ing their patronage for such a pur
pone, can exercise over the public opinion
of the community, through the agency of
hired pre Met, ambitious aspirants, interest
ed partisans, and the whole rabble of mer
cenary dependants aiul^office hunters, who
are alwayh ready to bbcy the beck and exe
cute the commands of those in power?can
have no adequate conception of the perils of j
the enterprise in which 1 have embarked my |
political destinies, or of the moral firmness I
which is necessary to sustain me in the trials i
to which 1 am and must be unavoidubly ex-1
posed.
And here I will take occasion to remark
that in a political crisis like the present, j
?when an administration that came into nfftcc
aguitiU the national will, is artfully and In
sidiously attempting to perpetuate its power'
by the use of its pamwwge?when in a word
we are to decide the grrat ami evertiftil ques
tion, whether the patronage of the govern
ment or the will of the people, shall elevate
to power those who are to control the desti
nies of the republic?no man is worthy to l?c
a representative of the people,' who a not a
"frarteM advocate of their rights." for
however great may be the |>owcr* of hi* in
tellect, hoover justjnw be his viawsof Un
political condition ot'lhe country, however
decidedly hemay disapprove and indignant
ly execrate the unplwipled coalition by
wfcich the rights of the people have hceii
bartered ami hetihiyed at the shrine of at
unchastened ambition?if be has no| the
moral and political firmness, to denounce
and expdee the unprincipled atterifpt to un
dermine those liberties whkh can never tx
endangered by open violence,?if he doei
not proclaim to the people, what they could
. never ascertain, but from the warning voiu
? of their public *cnttncls,4?.he is riot only un
?1 fit for the exkenties of this great politics
I juncture, but he in some degree wmctific

as chair before the wlndflBSH HMPi
&HfcKSEsS
lust session of congress, it is due to you, to
the occasion and to my own character, that
1 should give a brief narrative of the com*?
ot the debate on tho^unendment of the ee*- .
stitution, and of the clrcumtaisbfi
imposed upon me the unpleasant d
holding up to jmblio reprobation what!
cerely regarded bed what* X still rega
an unprmciple<\ coalition between _
Adams and Mr. Clay. To many of thoee
who now hear me, it is known that from the '
period of my very first entry Into public life, '.
as a-tnembcr of tha legislature of the Mate,
I have been the constant and sealous advo
cate of such an amendment of the federal
constitution, as would take away the ageqey '
of all pre-existing bodies, in the election of
the president, and vest that important ftmo
lion of original, elective sovereignty, where '
it appropriately belongs, in the "people of
America." It is also known that as far
back as two > ears before the last session ot
congress. I introduced into the house of re
presentatives, resolutions of precisely the
same iut|?ort with those which 1 submitted.
I at the lant session, and presenteda report in
which the dangers ot corruption, in tho
house of representatives waa earnestly atyL
btrenumtblv urged?but I presume'it Is not so
generally known that Mr. Adams and several,
of liis leading friends who recently opposed
it, were at that lime, decidedly in favor'Of
the amendment. When at the last session
of congress, 1 introduced the subject td the
consideration of the house of representatives*
1 was strongly Impressed with the belief that'
Mr. Aduius would be induced from a regard
to his own consistency, if from no higher;
motive, to throw the weight of hb infiuendfch
in fa\or of the amendment. Viewing that
us a matter of Infinitely more Importance
I than the destiny of the present arvnlnistra^
it ion, so far frotn designing to make the dis
cussion of that measure operate against the
popularity and standing of that administra
tion, 1 determined to maku evm poerfble
Kicri/tce to secure the passage of the resolu
t ions. 'With this view, in my opening speech^
I studiously confined myself to a ?
general reasoning, and cautiously
frc
roin any inviduous alluvions to the
election, though it was a most pr
source of Illustration, and was naturally in
volved in the discussion,?thus consenting
even to weaken the argument, in order, it
possible, conciliate tho concurrence of the
administration and its friends:
And what wus the treatment which I* re
ceived from the friends of the administration,
in return for tills conciliatory mode of dis
cussing the subject! Jt was, to say the least
