dicial character, avail ourselves Of this
opportunity to express, in our individual
capacity, as citizens of the community,
our decided disaprrobation and abhor-
renee ofthe prevailing practice with CAN
didates who are canvassing for seats in
the legislatures of our state and the
United States, of descending to the
drudgery of visiting every collection OF
people in their respective counties and
districts; OF exhibiting public treats, and
using other extraordinary means to en-
list the favors ofthe people; thereby not
only destroying the purity of elections,
bnt vitiating the morals Of the communi-
|ty. The constitution of our country,
which is the supreme law of the land,
declares that all the elections shall be
free; and inasmuch as any individual
who may offer himself as a candidate for
the public suffrage, and INDUCES in the
above practice, we do not hesitate TO de-
clare it, as our opinion, that he violates
one of the leading features ofth consti.
tuition of our country. $500
We further express it as our opinion,
that, in countenancing the above prac-
tee, we open door for the admission of
men into the councils Of our country, of
dissolute and immoral habits, who may
possess wealth, to the exclusion Of men
of more solid merit and ability, who may
not feel willing TO conform TO the above
immoral and tlishonorable practice, 10 the
ruin of the morals of the community and
the impoverishmento of their own families.
We, therefore, pledge to each other, our
most solemn promise, to set our faces
against the above practices, in our future
elections, and also against each and every
candidate who may descend to them;
and under firm conviction that, adher-
/ ing to this resolutions. by the people
generally, would be productive of much
public good, we recommend it to our fell
low-citizens generally to aid US in en-
forcing the above resolution.
