After nearly four years of political strife, which
has been waged with an animosity scarcely paral.
leled, and with a virulence unexarnple ed, the peri
cd nj length fast approaches, when all Opportunity
will be afforded, TO assert the supremacy OF the
will of the People, to battle for The preservation OF
the Constitution in its purity, and to express your
Indignant feelings in consequence OF its infringe
rnent Republicans resort not TO the {" ultima ya-
Ito rrgu1n;'' they have other means equally eff.
cirn', and which when properly used never fail to
insure a triumphant victory.-Fhey resort 10 the
polls, and by rrajoriucs overwhelming, convince
their opponents of the futiii.ty OF contest. The
business OF your cause has hitherto sustained YOU.
and you have only now TO watch ut your posts, and
every difficulty win be surmouDted.-Tie friends
Of jackson have been compelled in this contest to
exhibit to the world many things, which, for the
honor OF their country, they would wish 10 have
concealed; but, when corruption and intrigue,
shrouded in darkness & yelled in mystery ARE sap
ping the foundations OF the Republic, il is time to
drag them rom " their covert ways and hidden
ambuscades," and expose them 10 the light of day
that they may Wi;her and perish.-Whcn a rom
mercial people, whose prosperity depends upon the
unresirained intercourse with the Nations of tn
Earth, find themselves s~hackled, their trade almost
annihilaied, their seanen unemployed, ard their
ships. rotting at their wharves, it is time To speak
IN a language not 70 be mistaken, and cnstiring o.
bedience 10 their wi!l.-When an agricultural
! community, whose very existence depends upon
the advantageous disposition OF the products Of the
soil, find themselves Impoverished, and grosn I'M
der the weight ofburdeBs onerous an inlolcrabic,
ii is time 10 seek a change in men and measures.
When Manufacturing People, who Eever can
prosper when agriculture droops and commerce
sickens, find Themselves compelled 10 prey upon
the expiring cofpses Of their sisters, IL is time 10
endeavor 10 restore the body polite TO a heal,hfui
condition, aud seek TO redress the wrongs of the
whole. When = great nation finds its treasure
wasted, s. recklessly Iavished, not as a recoinpense
for public service, but under fraudulent pretences
to crafty favoiitcs and parasites, il is time TO turn
the locks Of the public chest, and deprive The
| keepers Of the key. When the patronage Of the
Government j. turned from its legitimate purpvs.
