ses, nor well tried pubic officer, whose act- have
shewn him To- be both capable and honest, be reject
cd from Office, without good rcusrns; yet, when u
series OF acts of misTue and wilful Observation-Disclosures
ton, have clearly proven IMAM in public Office both
incompetent and corrupt, it, becomes tho solemn
duty OF all PATRIOTS to unite III efforts TO reject him
from powcr-this duty becomes doubly imperous
when that officer is the highest iunctionary OF the
government.
Impressed with the truth of these principles Nc
conceive it the duty of all the citizens of the Uni
ted States, who truly love their country, and
would guard its institutions from corruntnn and
decay to unite in Jealous aud untirins efforts to
prevent the reelection OF tie prcScn: Chief Maris
tratc of this Union.
1t would be needless, il would be Il tircsomc
task lar exceeding the proper limits OF this prcam
DC, TO specify the various, multiplied, we would
almost say, innumerablc acts of Gen Jackson's adj
pnlstra;on, which characterize it, as incompetent
corrupt and disgracetul TO the country. It's good
deeds, like angel visits have been few and far no.
tween, and only lume like flashes of lightning in a
midnight storm, to deepen the succeeding gloom.
IL is unworthy OF Il free country 1t has become
literally what tho spirit of prophesy forctold, a
curse HPoR the country The dignity, the safety the
very existence in purity of our glorious insitu-
tons, require that it should be put down. that tho
government should be indeed reformed; and we
are called upon as patriots, friends of free
Institutions to sacrifice if necessary upon the altar
of our country's good private attachments, and
individual preferences, and 10 unite efforts to
Tree our country from the weight OF that inefficient
and abandoned administration, which now opprcss-
es it. Therefore,
