those who arc by US delegated with Executive
powers And whereas the Executive of this gov
ernment has assumed powers and authority not
given him by the Constitution. First in the
removal OF the Deposites from the U. s. Bank,
where they had been placed by law Of the elect
cd Representatives Of tho People-by creating
party on the spoils of Office, thus corrupting the
spirit of our free institutions, and rendering the

his dicta,ion-by wagng an invctcratc and IN
principlcd war against the merchants and COM
mcrcial portion Of our citizens, who have been
Knocked in their calamities, and told that no hon.
est man ought to regret their distresses. And

to recommend, (and his recommendation is dicta-
ton to the party of which he is the leaderO to
Congress the Withholding from the States nine
millions Of collars, which had been pledged I"
$ them in sacred honor, and thus disappointed the
D inst expectations of the States, and which we
conceive to have been unjust and unncccssa-

furious to the States and the pcope,-And where
II as. the present administration has been so wan
tonly extravaganza, either in rewarding Partlzans,
II or in some way unaccountablc to the people, that

the sword and purse of great nation, in the a.
doption Of the sub-trcasury scheme for collecting

y proper to adopt the partial and dcsposic measure
Of paving tho gold and silver, and

ed our public works in deprecated paper, which vii
become moro worthless the government be-
