Don't fail to do this.
You ask me to send you all the speeches made about "Old Zach," the war,
etc. Now this makes me a little impatient. I have regularly sent you the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, and you cannot have examined them, or
you would have discovered that they contain every speech made by every
man in both houses of Congress, on every subject, during the session. Can
I send any more? Can I send speeches that nobody has made? Thinking it
would be most natural that the newspapers would feel interested to give
at least some of the speeches to their readers, I at the beginning of the
session made arrangements to have one copy of the Globe and Appendix
regularly sent to each Whig paper of the district. And yet, with the
exception of my own little speech, which was published in two only of the
then five, now four, Whig papers, I do not remember having seen a single
speech, or even extract from one, in any single one of those papers. With
equal and full means on both sides, I will venture that the State
Register has thrown before its readers more of Locofoco speeches in a
month than all the Whig papers of the district have done of Whig speeches
during the session.
