your party have been guilty During

cam into power, found a botistitittlon
under which that people of this country
had lived for seventy-ilve or eighty
years in tho enjoyment of all the bless
ings of civil and constitutional liberty:
they fowl' this constitution, made by
the great t and wise mon wit& laid the
foilndations of your government deeptn
the prinziptes pf constitutional liberty,
and without any experience in so great
a work they set to work patching it up,
until now, if the great men who 'made.
it could.rise from the dead, or descend.
from heaven, the, would ,settreely rec
ognize the instrument they Jtad made,
But, sir, I will not, unless further pro
voked, inaulge further in this line of re
mark It is foreign, . I admit, to the
subject which ought to'llp the legitimate
.subject tinder discussion. I have only
made these remarks because, day after
day, we in the minority in this clutal-
bar, have heard denunciations of tho
party to which it is our prido and our
honor to belong, by gentlemen on the
other side of the chamber. Sir, if blows
horeafetr are given, blows shall be ro.
turned.
