TO have supported acts of,h,s administration, which,
IL unrcsisled, mua eventually have led to this mel
anehoiy catastrophe.
! have thus given you an epi'on,e OF my political
creed, is the doctrine ushered TO the world by the
Democrat OF '9s '09.-it - the doctrine under
which the Republican party fought their great bat
Ito which resulted in tho defeat of tho federsi,sis
and Tic elevation Of the great nnd Illosrious Jefci
son to the Pscsijcncy--it is the doctrine by which
rhai emil ghicncd poiro, and statesman guided his
administered hich brought Mr.. Madison, Mr.
Monroe md General Jackson into poverty
opposing which the the elder anil younger Adams
were cv,cted froa their seals by indignant pco-
ple And SO solemny convinced mn, ], that II "a
the ory rue dpctsinr Ultimately derivable from the
constitution j, 10 tho only doctrine compatible
With the union Of the States nd the liberties OF the
people. that never have, never will, support this
or any future administration IN measures eeleola-
ted in The rcmo,es, degree 10 endangcr or Jeopardlzt

My opponents tell you THESE principles cnnao'
suceccd-that they must go down. Aud ~ II SO

Fellow citizens we in tho midst Of a
great 4" civil rebellion The citadel of freedom
