10 tke Whigs of Litektield County


 Wiihin very short period, country has bee" changed from state of peace and security to one Of jeopardy and dissention; from soGudHess aud stability, corruption and weakness; from prosperity al home, aad honor abroad, ,O commercial embarrassment, and political drgradalion. Enlerprize has been crippled credit runed-ycOnfdence scattered the four winds-and the intcresss of the people made the sub feet of an Experiment." the prOgnostcaled efecls of which have all felt in the prosIra.iOn of busi- ness and the disrust which has every where prevail ed.
 For all this complication of evils, naturally in- uuire the cause whether Providence has ceased to give fruitful seasons'' to ;he hushandman-and cess to the mariner and the merchant; or whether the fault may be justly attributed the policy" of the existing administration. To the tormer oiihe cau- ses we of course, ascrbe noHe oi these eviis-o the latter then we rresis,bIy led, as the sole cause of that dark, cloud of disasters which has long hung over land, and which menaces the existence of our blood purchased institutions. The course pursued by Gen. JacksoU and his advi- sers is too we'll known to you, to require particular recital. Like the path of tornado, their policy may be traced by the desoations it has occasioned Look where you will, what interest has 1t not attacked ![ What right Of the people is left uuscathedF See 'he currency of country once the soundes' and best in lle knowm world, the sport of Obbers aud po- llical depostes safe, and under the absolute control of e people, now, every where and no where-scatiered throughout the counlry in party Banks, without any security, aud some, with scarce any substantial capital. See the Supreme Court that sheet. anchor of liberties virtually set at nought by the Executive, and it's decisions despis. ed. See the system of corruption and intrigue which, for more than six years has been maturing, and which
 has manifested the depraviiy oi it's character, by the removal from official stations O than O"e thoas- and merorous individuals, give place to unprnci. pied and hungry partizans. See the unparalleled ef- lronlery of the Executive, in retaining i" one of the most important stations under the Government, an of:
 cer convicted of series of the most fragrant abuses of mus,-illegal condoct-unheard-of proIigay; and infamous favoriiism. The Post Office department is absolutely '.BANKRuPr; almost million ef dol- lars soorse than noshiag!! and ye when Mir. Mclean retired from its management, more than $3OO.OO or surplus fund D its possession, and every minute subdivision under the most perfect order and con- trol. See the Constitution of our country made the subject of repeated violations and itswse checks aud provisions either openly condemned, or uublushngly denied.
 Fellow citizens, land we appeal so the experience of the most aged,) the condition Of our country ever alarming thaN ai present? When the ter TOT of the British power and the thunder Of her arms brought against our 'oant republic, an open and tangible enemy before us--we knew sohere 10 strike noc nvidous foes beset us-wolves in sheep's cothing-men who talk of honor-oi pa,Eiotsn-of nnon but whose honor and love Of eOuntry merg- ed in selishness-and whose cry of union is but the watch. word for attack, aud wide and rrecon- cleabe division 1.-the sincere desire of the present administration is, to heal differences, aud benefit the county why has the whole patronage of the Govern men been visible in influencing elections and in arg ing the people, B the blindness of,her zeal. like the eyeess Nazari.e, to pul down Freedoms fair temple, and involve our country in universal desoaiioDf
 Fellow Citizens! these n", she effusio"s of fancy they facts, undeniaie facts proved, in the very teeth oi opposition. We are not con,endi"g agains. Gen. Jackson-but against his ruinous prnci. pIes-agains. the perpe,uity of the destructive meas ures which will doom his administration to everlast- ing disgrace. Remember, that this same policy is to be continued, and urged upon us u"der the garb of Van Burensm. The little magician, who has long man- aged the balance wheel aud played upon the wires of the machinery, is now preparing to vault into the pre- sdency, and place yoke, more greyous ifp"ssible, upon the already chaled necks of the people. Our opposers will cry up " Democracy''-" Republican. ism," aud all the calcl-words of the party D the peclaon Of decesing you; bu. witness the measures these mis.named Democrats ('ut real Tories) advo- cate.

Tear off the Aimsy veil which bat poorly conceals sheir de- formy anf expose them n all their revolng aspects to the gaze of indignant and insulIed community
 Dread the introduction of Van Burenism into our State, as you would the "pes,ience that walketh in darkness'-oppose it, as you would the destroyer Oi your peace, and the violater of your honor.
