the power of nomination to the impor-

Now this is all perfectly correct,
and po democrat can have ary objec
tion to it ; but you go on to pervert
the truth, by saying thut J. Andrew
Shuize was nominated by a legislative
caucus. 7Zhis you know to be FALSE,
and you knew it at the time ; and you
made this assertion for no other rea
son than to lide the fact, that An-
drew Gregg was nominated in that
way, You flattered yourself that bs
crying legislative influence, you could
evade an enquiry as to how your friend
Gregg was nominated.
But I am persuaded you were not
in caenest when you declaimed a
gainst legislative dictation. You~ are
friendly to it, but you had the wisdom)
to know that it would oot go down
with the people to declare your prin:
ciples openly. My reason for believ-
ing these to be your principles, is
that on looking over an old file of the
Lancaster Journal, I find in one of the
5th March 1805 the following :
« We the subscribers, members of
the General Assemily, considering the
ong tried, fom and meritorious set:
