So persistent was the "crowd" in their demands for a speech from Brough, that he could not well avoid making an explanation, which he did, much to the chagrin of those who thought they "had him fixed." Mr. B. said that if he Made a speech, be was afraid' it would be a Democratic speech, for he never made any other in his life. Voi ces in the crowd cried out "let it be a Demo cratic speech, but not a Locoforo speech." "Gentletnery,' said Mr. Brough, "I am afraid a it would .be Locofoco speech, for I feel that 1 am yet so much of a Locufoco that if I was to serape my heel against the pavement - it would ignite."

Gth, 1850. My Dear Sir :---The course which I have been compelled to take in the approaching' political contest, has elicited much. condemna tion and some approbation-11.0m men with whom I have acted for near, a quarter of a century. - It is due to my early and steadfast friends, as well as to myself, that I should either jus tify myself, or be the fit subject for their scorn as a recreant from principles which* I still have an ahiding faith in. The cherished doctrines of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay will receive full acquiescence from me, so long as. reason retains her domin ion within the , earthly ease that retains the mind, the thoughts and energy (small though they be) with which the Giver of i►ll good has endowed me. The first question which presented itself to me after the nominations were' made was: where is the Whig Party? To that question we have obtained 'no satisfactory answer.— Some tell us that it is to be fiiinat in the stables, out houses, caverns and fence corners, of the foul band Ceconspirators who, in' ennr , mity,. crime and blasphemy, have Shamed and driven back to the gloomy shades of. eternal desolation, the sulphuric shades of. Denton, Robespiere, and their fellow inearnit, tions 'of all that was vile, wicked' and horrible dottier days. I believe ifnet ! The party so loving the Constitution of our 061 M -try—so faithful to the principles of self-gpvernment —aye, that - party of Webster and Clay,•mill our own John Sergeant ,and Walter For ward, 'never did, and never can sacrifice:itself in the lewd em braces of midnight conspirators, colluding together unseen by any but the avenging Angel, and their fit associates, IoW Clemons spewed forth from Hell to give some tone and character to their infernal orgies.— The Whigs I - We, my friend,. are-'net with, or of them. Where, then, is that noble, trustworthy,, true party to which we belonged! Is it to be found in-principle or practice among the Black Republicans ? No Ino 1. That old line Whig cannot be found mean enough to descend from Harrison, Clay, Webster, Taylor, Scutt, and hosts of mighty spirits who adorned not only, our party, and the councils of the naafi; but human nature itself, by their brilliant talents, pure lives, honest, fervid patriotism, to John. C. From Ont. W hat are his antecedents? Are they swill as would recommend him for a cum moucciiinty,offieel Is the climbing of moun tains, the eating of reptiles, the degrading sentence of a court martial, the contumely with which he was burled out of the United States Sefate, the frandulent speculation With r: , rovernmon t funds iu mulch cows, or the erhwn tog feat of his inglorious life, in accepting rti nomination which if consummated by election would scatter - to the four .winds-of Heaven the labors of our (not his) fathers. Are, I ask, these' the reasons which will imitate the Inieriean people to- elevate him to the high est aid; in the known world? Ifas . he, I ask, any capacity, and integrity, or a - single quali fication fur that high station? Would you not be ashamed to own that you assisted to elevate the creature of yesterday, the nothing of to-day, whose impotent and pigmy mind cannot soar above the robbery of dm- poor frontier settlers out,of their rights, and along with his vile adherents belch' forth its foul effluvia over -our happy . laud, carrying with its , p - cstil - e - M - int — heath disu disrnay`-and runn over the-fair heritage which our fathers purchased hi blood, and bequeathed to us, as the greatest legacy man ever left to his de scendants. But l am ashamed to talk to you in such a strain. You cannot and will not hug ignor ance, impudence and assurance, like the Spar tan fool did the fox, to your bosom until your vitals are tor► nut. -So far • as • Fremont is concerned I implore you not to assist to fire the temple of liberty. 1 ha% e done with the man and his confed e Now, sir, can- I support Millard Fillmore ? Can_you_ support A. J. Dane ? These arc questions not easily answered by you, You will not ask me to support the nominee of a Party with the filth _of stables and hog pens hanging to their feet, redolent with the efflu via of the dirt and mustiness of filthy haunts, calumniate all that is dear to me. Vagabonds knowing no law, no God, dare to arraign Christian doctrines and practices as the stan dard of their milignant . hearts, and with dis positions engendered in the regions of eternal misery, claim to crush and destroy all who will not deny their Gild, their religion and icir court ry rs ins t u ions, and - liiiw - down to the accursed ldul which they wish to erect on the ruins of the great fabric erected by our fore-fathers cemented in their blood, and in all the vicissitudes of political commotion, held to revered—almost adored by their descendants of all parties. Now with spirit aceursed the demon has entered into the Eden of Freedom awl attempted to pervert, mislead and misdi rect thepu.blie mind, luring it from the paths of peaceful happiness to disorder, severance of society, and all the evils attendant on intoler ance, religious and sectional jealousies. When this bold attempt was made by wick ed and designing men, the good and true l friends of their cuntry looked on with apathy and scorn. , , No friend of his country's laws .would believe that other than ignorance, base low bred bigotry could be induced to enter into so unhallowed a combination against the institutions planned by Washington and perfected by the far seeing statesmen of the Revolution and their descendants. But we were mistaken. The Fillmores, the Donelsons, the Johastons, Conrails, Critten dens, and others of kind - red feeling felt no shame in joining and intimately associating with the vagabond outcast in midnight cabins, awl secretly binding themselves to their ruf fianly 'confederates by oaths so horribie impi ous and blasphemous that none who -has at spark of christiau feeling or brotherly love TWO DOLLARS A-YE AR would do aught but recoil in dread from the. fearful profanation. • Yet this is the man l The great recipient of Whig favor, for whom I am now asked to vote. For he and his myrmidons declare to the world that the son of the Revolution, whose ancestors acquitted themselves with honor during that tremendous *trump i ) be cause of his belief in the creed handed down by them to hini, 'must be oitracised and driv en beyond the pale not Poly of freedom, but of civilization itself. • I will not by my ,voto - inyoke Fillmore and DonelsOn to make my ion a parka. But I fear I tire you. I can support Bu chanan because ho never advocated a violation of the constitution ; because I fincerely believe that he and his adherents axe•the only nation al party loving the constitution, and having an' unyielding determination to preserve the integrity of the Union at all and every risk. And because , the principles of religious equality would be as safe and, sure in his hands as they were in the days of Washington and of Jackson. .MICHAtt. DAN 51A0EALIAN. To Maj.
