To THE People OF Pennsylvania.
Tellow Citizens:-The policy and conduct Of those
who now administer the affairs of the general gov
eminent, differ so widely from the views and pro-
ceedngs of the opposition in Congress, upon many
great national questions, that shall present you
with portrait Of both, that you may judge which Of
these two great parties actually represents your in
terests and feelings.
The present administration consider thai the true
interests of the country are best promoted -
l. By improving the internal condition of the
country. 80 that its produce may be brought to mar
ket both expeditously, and upon reasonable terms.
Q. BY encouraging foreign commerce, so that
we may find a market for our surplus produce
abroad.
8. By protecting the domestic industry Of the
country, BY means Of judicious tariff.
d. BY increasing and improving the condition OF
our navy as our safest and most efficient arm OF ma
tiona defence.
S, By encouraging the colonization of our free
black popul alton upon the coast OF Africa.
g. ]3y aiding with our friendly counsel, our re-
publican brethren in South America, in their great
struggle for the divine:right Of self government.
These, fellow citizens, all measures, which
the present administration of the general govern
ment have zculously adyocatsd. What has been the
conduct of the opposition. upon these subjects, you
are doubtless aware. The records OF Congress wA
show -
! 4. That they deny the constitutional power Of
Congress to make roads and canals; SO that each
State. according to their construction Of the
stitution) must make its own improvements instead
of its being paid out of the national treasury.
2. They defeated the passage OF the West India
Bill, introduced into Congress, by the friends OF the
administration, which might have still left the door
open to negoc ation with Great Britain, relative to
the trade with her colonies.
8. They deny the constitutional right Of Con-
grcss to lay any duty to protect domestic manufac-
4 lures.
a. They struck out of the Navy Bill, the section
providing for Naval Academy, when every man
at all acquainted with the science Of the human mind
knows the Importance of early instruction.
S. They refused to grant any appropriation, to aid
the COLONIZATION Society," in their benevolent ef-
forts to remove to Africa, such parts Of our free
black population, might choose to return to the
land ,of their forefathers.
6. They denied the right Of the President to ac-
cent of the invitation of our South American bretb-
\ rem to attend the Congress of Panama, although
= they stood so mitch in need of counsel upon the
e great principles Of sef-government.
= Here, fellow citizens. you are presented with a
brief summary of the views and policy Of those who
now WELD, and of those who desire to direct the
e destines of this great nation. Can you for mo
ment hesitate, to decide who is most worthy ot your
> confidence.
e 1t is now upwards Of forty years since our pre-
sent chief magistrate first entered the public SER
vice. the capacity Of private secretary to our min.
lister to Russia. Since that PERIOD he has risen thro
= all the various grades Of civil Office, to the highest
: to known the constitution.
- Fellow-citzens, government is government
of laws, which does not derive its support so much
from the PHYSICAL force, as from the moral power Of
the nation.
l. In selecting chief ruler, we ought to bear in
mind that morality is of the main pillars Of hui
# man happiness. By confirming anew our confidence
t. in our present magistrate, We shall give another
v proof Of our devotion to the cause Of virtue.
e In welding the political power Of the government,
he will continue to reflect the moral image of the
,f nation. SIMON SNYDER.
