present jancture Of our national affairs
when corruption, in official incumbent
has become the order of the day, that
ought to succeed Gen. Jackson in The
presidency Of the U. States. Martin
Fan Buren, does not suit the times. He
is of too easy virtue. Let US then, use
every fair and honorable means to pro :

called for, by every consideration con-
nected with the welfare and perpetuity
Of our inestimable political institutions.
Yes, let US exert ourselves to elect the
man who is fit for the office, and there.
by prevent the election of him who is
totally unfit for it. This is our duty,
as lovers Of our country, and let Us
cheerfully perform it.
