Available for what ] for a candidate ? — or for a wise and safe President ? 11 On this subject, Gentlemen, it becomes you to take heed. It is an awful consideration. You are under a responsibility above and beyond what belongs to your official duties. You are responsible to your suc- cessors, to posterity, to the world. By nominating Gen. Taylor, you are debauching the popular mind. You are leading this people to their political destruc- tion. On this subject, I prefer to quote the opinion of M...r. Webster, who is, to a majority of your Conven- tion, I dare say, a safer guide on all public, Constitu- tional questions, than Gen. Taylor. I quote from Mr. Webster's Speech in the Senate, January 14, 1836, on Mr. Benton's Resolutions for appropriating the Surplus Revenue to National De- fence. " Sin, If there be any philosophy in history; if human blood still runs in human veins ; if man still conforms to the identity of his nature, the institutions which secure constitutional liberty can never stand long against this excessive personal confidence, against this devotion to men, — in utter disregard both of principle and experience, — which seems to mo to be strongly characteristic of our times.
