Europe is paid to man who, by pre-
vious secret understanding, is not requir-
ed to perform the service.
The deliberate assumption, on the part
Of the Executive, of the sole power OF
appointing and retaining in Office public
functionaries Of the highest grades, with
out consulting the Senate, may well
cause alarm for the Constitution, and in
die ates too entire reliance upon the indis-
criminate support Of party. Look at the
project Of an unlimited Treasury BANK,
whereby it is contemplated to place in
the hands Of the Executive, such an en-
gine of power, patronage and coercion,
as, we fear, the Liberties of the Country
could scarcely survive. Look at the
twenty -four millions devoted to the ban
shment of a nation of 20, 900 souls from
their own farms and dwellings, in viola
tion of public treaties. Our States pro-
portion Of this sum is 1000 dollars.
Look at the loss to this State Of 10000
dollars, part of which was fairly and just
ly appropriated for us by the last admin
istration, and the residue actually voted
to us, year ago, by Congress, as our
Just right; Of which we have been de-
prived by the veto of General Jackson
s. the fiat ofMr. .Ingham. Had this money
been required elsewhere for frugal dis
bursements in the public service,w might
merely have regretted that it was not now
convenient time for this State to re-
ceive part Of its fair proportion of bene-
fit from the general fund to which it 80
largely contributes. But our sense Of
the loss is aggravated by seeing much
larger sums mysteriously expended in
unexplained extra appropriations on the
sole responsibility of department officers.
Look at the reiterated attacks Of the par
ty, in Congress and elsewhere, upon the
Judiciary; the sheet anchor Of the Union
and the sole security ofthe smaller States
Look especially at the varied and mani
fest efforts of the administration and its
partisans to undermine or overthrow the
TARIFF and the AMERICAN SYSTEM.
These are but some ofthe instances OF
the spirit Of the "Mcn and measures OF
General Jackson's administration.
As to the "men, what do their own
statements and acts proclaim them to be ?
Judging from these, have not the people
a right to say that they are rivals to each
other who have combined together for
the purpose Of getting possession of the
Government, in the management oI
which each pursues his individual
scheme Of ambition at the expense of the
people, and to the prejudice of the inter.
ests and character Of the nation?
In each of the several States we see
the leaders of that party actuated in their
movements by congenial violence and
hostility to our wholesome Institutions
! We have reason to think til many OF
them are dissatisfied with the princi piles
of our Government. In one part of the
country they violate public faith and re-
pei the authority Of the National Judici.
ary. In another they attempt to scve,
the union and to nullify the supreme laws
of the land. In our own State they Sc
cretly or openly war against our system
of education and our judiciary, and af
feet to despise the improvements yo'
have sanctioned. In all portions Of on
country, we believe them, as party, T.
be influenced by a settled and bitter hos
tility to the present Tariff, from which
alone the industry of the north receives
some of that protection which the Plan
ters Of the south have long enjoyed io
their productions.
!, Fellow-citzens, shall the Jackson par
2 ty now acquire the mastery in this State
a THAT Is THE QUESTION TO BE pEcIDLI
BY THIS ELECTION. That IS the contro
per,u betueen Mr.. .arnold and Mr.. Fen
ner. We cannot believe that you will
suffer other questions which will be art
: fully thrown in, or topics Of personal o
local nature, to draw you aside from thi
. great and spirit stirring question Of prn
