up his reins, cracked his “hip. and drove
off, leaving me standing just inside the
gate ofthe Virginny Tavern in rather a
predicament. '
Before me in all its glory was the ' Vlr

tell the truth, could with difficultyrecog
nize the Virginny Tavern in thelow woo
den building before the; bearing as it did
every mark of antiquity. and that happy
immunity from paint which led me seri
ously to doubt whether painting had ever
. been contemplated by Miss Jinnioa or her
worthy ancestor, tor surely that house
must have dlstanced ' Muss Jinnine that

In a minute or two a handsome middle
aged: woman made her appearance and in

ble detentionppromising to have a dinner
ready for me in a very few moments—
while she was engaged in its direction I
performed the necessary ceremony of ab
lution through the agency of a genuine
Yankee noggin and wash towel which a
dorn the porch of every country tavern in
V‘ginia. In a few minutes my dinner
was ready. and certainly, I had formed no
conception of enjoying so nice a meal in
so unpromisings looking place—or rather
a place of so unpromising an exterier, for
within doors everything was neat, tidy.
and clean. bearing clearly the impress of
a careful housemle.
'l'aktng her seat with me at the table,
my hostess ministered to my wants. and
presided with tlmtintoitise grace andease
which have since found the distinguish
tng characteristic of all the Vtrgiaia wo«
men of every rank and condition. She
found out'thatl hailed from the land of
steady liabits,anrl asked me many ques
ti'Ons regarding the reports which had rea
ched her ears of the wooden harm of ba
con, sawdust bread. and black walnut nut
megs manufactured in that region. Pro

addressed the lady as ‘ vnothsr.’ 'l'his
somewhat astonished me. and linquired

her to the door. and she rung the bell for

thia morning. and on a former occasion, in

zen of the United States. against this de
nunciatlon ol' our_Southern brethren, upon
all occasions and at all times. Sir they
are members at the name great and glori
oua confederacy. to which Pennsylvania
belongs. They stood by Pennsylvania in
the darkest hours of the Revolution. and 1
they atood by Pennsylvania in the war 0!
1812. It was illustrious citizens of the
South thatin the war of the Revolution
and the late war, led our armies to victo- l

The South too have furnished States
men. who have influenced our cabinets.
as well as led our armies. and the fame
and glory of their achievementaie the pro
perty o! the whole country. As a Penn
sylvanian. both north of Mason and Dix
on’s line. I claim to be an inheritor of part
of the fame “llicll they have gained for ev
ery American citizen. And I say to the
gentleman from Dauphin, and my friend
from Cambria, that when they separate
the South from us. we lose the tombs of
Mount Vernon and the Hermitage, the
Mecca and Medina of our common coun
try. to whose consecrated grounds. the
young men of our country will. I trust. in
all future time. inalieltheir pilgrimage. and
there imbibe that spirit of patriotism,
which burned in the hearts of their depar

no feelings for our Southern brethren, be
cause a certain institution exists among
them which is guaranteed to them by the
.Constitution of the United States. ihilt on
Tuesday week last. we all swore at that
bar [pointing to it] to support? Have
they no common rights iu this country?—
ls nothing to be done for the South, in any
shape. or form. or manner. whatever?—
Anil is the north to be arrayed against the
South? Mr. Chairman; lhold in my hand
a paper that should command the attention
of those gentlemen and all others that‘are
in the habit of crying out—the South a
gainst the North. and the North against
the South—it is the Farewell Address of
the Father of his country. And. although
he was a Souiliern‘man, and although he
first saw the light, in the Providence of
God, south of Mason and Dixon's line.
my veneration is as great. for him as ifhe
had been born in the midst of the moun
tains ol Pennsylvania. »
[M r. Burnside here read from the Fara
well Address. the caution against indulg
ing in geographical parties.)
Why. It the gentleman. (Mr. Kunkal.)
who is willing to follow the banner ofa
distinguished Citizen of Kentucky. and
unwilling to tight under any other banner.
would recollect the speech of last distin
guished man. at Raleigh. in N tli Cryo
lina. in the summer of 1844. he would
there find “at his noble leader protests a
gainat any ch viawo as are held by the
gentleman. and his friends. This govern
ment. was a government of compromise.
This government is a government of con.
ceasiou ‘, and it is only by compromise.
and only by concession that it can be pre
served. And has it come to this. Mr.
Chairman. that there are members on this
floor—that there are members of the Leg
islature ofifl’ennsylvania. who seriously
contemplate the disruption of the General
Government, and who can look upon it
without any concern. and who show by
their manner that our glorious Union is
but of little value-P
Mr. Chairman, the destiny ofthis coun
try is an onward destiny. if those who are
placed in power by the people will only
pursue the same proper and prudent course
which their predecessors have pursued.
The President of the United States. and
the Secretary at State have pursued that
course ; and I. for one. thought upon this
question. at least. Mr. Buchanan would
receive the unanimous support of the citi
zens ol his native State; but so it is. in
Pennsyliania. no sooner does one hear of
her own sons. by the power of his intel
lect. and the statesman-like character of
his view. elevate himself above his fellows.
than our own people are foiind anxious to
bring him back to the common level.»

am perfectly aware Mr. Chairman, 'that
our Whig friends endeavoured to make the
'l‘aritl the only issue in that contest; and
I am perfectly aware, also, that until they
got the last of the letter: from Mr. Clay. it
was an impossibility to tell which-ofthe
two gentlemen nominated for the Preaiden
cy, was the better Tarifi' man. They both
went for 3 Tariff for revenue, with inciden
tal protection; and Mr. Polk has ehowu
nothing in any of the messages which have
emanated from him. indicating a change of
his view. But let on return to the ques
tion. The difference which has been point
ed out by my friend from Tioga. ,(Mr.
Room) and my friend from Westmoreland.
(Mr. Burrell.) in these resolutions are'so
plain that ' he who runs .:may read' them.
We, on this side of the House. and 60 A
merican people taken as a body. are in fa
vor of taking possession of Oregon—are in
favour of-abrogating the treaty. and eaten
ding our laws over American citizens now
in that territory. ’ ‘
The amendment which l oil'ered. prope
ssa giving the notice, and extending our
laws over those now there. That isall that
can be done in good faith till a 18!! has 0-
lapsed, because! any to tlté'g'e'iitle‘men who
are opposed to me on this questiené'tltat
our Government has alwaysbeen gorernhd
by the strictest rules of honor in all its in
tercourse with foreign nations, and that it
is neither policy nor expedient. norjust,
that it should pursue any other course.-’-
Before that year has terminated, thousands
and tens of thousands of American citizens
will have emigrated to Oregon.. Thou
sands and tens of thousands of American
rifles will be there to repel any invasion
from any forces. Plunge the country at
this very moment—at this instant into a
war—and Oregon for some years, at least,
most belong to Great Britain. Let our
citizens go there, under the protection of
our laws, and all of Oregon will soonfhe
under the dominion ot the United" States.
Nor is the dominion and government ofthe’
United States going to stop there." The
Democracy of this country have ruled the
country since 1801. It was thé Democra
cy that acquired Florida ; it was the darn
ocracy that acquired Louisiana; and it was
the Democracy that acquired Texas.‘ and
not with an indecent haste, but in the pro
per and legitimate mode known to the'eolt
stitution and laws of the country. And it
will be the democracy of the General Gov
ernment that will acquire any fact ol tel
ritory on the North American continent.
“'8 must bide our time.» and I trust the
time is hastening on when every [not of it
will be under the dominion‘pi‘ the United
States. Our Government is one of the
strongest Governments in the world. and
that she can govern the whole of the liter
thern American continent as readily. it.
easily, and as advantageously. for her citi
zeas. as she did the old thirteentl do'n‘ot
