The solution Of tins political enigma will bc made, lei.

uf Virginia and n. York, with ihe'r representation "i

il calculated 30 rouse our dormant energies, anu 10 sound
the ,ocsin OF aIarm H!rough our raIlicSa and our mountains!
Blu, yesterday, and your Senator IN Congress denied your

Assembly. You rose Old Frederick rose, with 4 might
and il power which ast.nisli"d even herself. l"u res
cl"G Tie right iro-i the hand "s rapIne. Again: IN Ell
feet, your rights are ':'?aGed. I!s election OF The
Chief MAGISTRATE of the Unian belongs to the pco-
pie Of the Union. 1t is tlrir constitutional birth
right. The p"op!r, the sovereign people, mould ~
! tins election the measures Of 4 prospective Admins
tra,ion, by eirctiny the man whose principles they
know. The trainers Of the Constitution, the venerable
fathers Of the Republic, invested The Presidency with
Tie vast powers enumerated in the commencement Of
this Address,, because they 'klcw its incumbent would
usually reflect fully and fairly the public sentiment
Of the nation. The President, hy the genius and
| spirit of our institutions is the Image Of the people. He
/ is Tie image of Tie States only 10 prevent anarchy
! ANY scheme. therefore, cOncoctrL, OF any course pursued,
which will necessarily wrcst the election from the pco-
| pie and throw il into The House Of Representatives,. where
| the election is by States, where Virginia will be voted
down by Delaware, and New York by Rhode Island,
converts, in effect, cur democracy into an oiiga!chy.-
Success in such Il sclirmc nov will br the signal
| and the model for ali future imitation. Aaron Burr de-
clarrd in his gloomy vaccinations, that our country
would never stand 4 Third election Of President by the
llnu.c Of Representatives Let his CasaandTa VOC" ii!
least he Lcart. The prize u freedom IS eternal "
lance. Let no vcler in cur county neglected his
duty. Let the Democracy of lie county move in Il
toiv. On the first Monday in &%uvemhcr, let the
| farmer leave his fields and lis :Hncks. the m"chanic
his shop aad his tools. and the scholar his books: and let
! ,iru! all pay The debt they owe i!,cir country and hcrJn-
s.itutiuns. With such Z spirit. THE PEOPLE WILL
ELECT THEIR W PRESIDENT, and the hour
on which the star of Andrew JackSon sets gloriously in
Tie west. will be- tie hnu: on which that OF Martin Van
Buren, will rise in the east.
