OHIO WING CONVENTION.
The following article the report presented the Ohio
Wing Convention, by Mr.. Gazlay, Chairman of commits
| tee National affairs:
Without the agency of war, or pcstilcncc, OF
famine, our agriculture pouring forth her products
in profusc abundancc,-our ships spreading their
canvass IN every sca,-our steamboats, pcnetra-
ting great rivers and their tributaries to thcil
utmost sources,-ou- citizens reducing orr deep
est forests to cultivation, and making the wider
ness alive with the voices of men and women and
childrcn,-our manufacturers sending over their
work shops,-our merchants enjoying unlimited
credit, and country regarded abroad as the 81
rest depository for wealth and tho safest resort
for personal security: in the midst Of these bless
ings, and untouched by any visible or tangible
calamities, paralysis has come upon US, that has
suddenly taken away strength and blightod
our prosperity. For this there must be q cause,
and fhere may be a remedy. The great and prin-
ciplc cause is a succession of "a6xscs AID xssrpa-
TONS" the party of the national executive. In
were persuaded that the administr.tion Of the ma
tional overnment required reform. They be-
lieved that it was cxtravagant in itS expenses,
corruptng in its patronage, ambitious in the accu-
mutation Of power, and thus endangered the lib
critics of the country. To reform these allcdgcd
abuses-to reduce expenses, to limit patronage,
to curb ambition, to simplify, choapen, and purify
the administration, Gen. Andrew jackson was c.
lectcd President. 1t doubt his full pur-
pose, faithfully to do the work he was selected to
perform. But fatality. common to a man whose
intellectual powers are habituated to catering in
the service Of his animal passions. mislod him.

patronage, he gave scope to an absorbing ambi-
ton. He called to his secret confidence a horde
of protesting mnions, who became his control
ling advisers. The patronage, the influence, the
legitimate powers of the executive, with a host
Of illegal assumptions, were put in requsition to
promote party schemes and individual acquisi.
tons o. property. The resources of the nation
were employed to disturb the regular business OPP
erations of money and credit. A partisan war
was waged to the death, against a most invalua-
bic regulator of commercial exchanges--and Of
the values of commodities Organizations were
attempted to control commerce and credit by ban
ding together a number ofrival and irresponsible
associations of incorporated monopolists. to
ray them in support of interest adverse to their
own, and in hostility to that with which their bn
siness identified them. Ridiculous and aliuring
imaginations of a gold circulation were got up.
and the regular balance Of trade dcranged, By
agency, in furthcrancc Of a project at
once useless and impracticable. The merchants
as class, have been singled out for rcprobation,
and their business crippled, not only without re-
morse but without apparent satisfaction.
Nor have they been alone the sufferers. All
classes and all conditions and men Of all occupa-
tinns in society-thc farmer, the mechanic, the
professional man, and the hardy laborer-havc
shared in the calamities brought upon our COM
mon country by the folly and madness, if not by
the direct design Of our rulers. The doctrine

victors, in election for President Of the United
States, belong the spoils Of victory that is, pub
lie cmployments Of every character. The mi
nority are politically DISTINGUISHED the public
are constituted an executive phal-
anx more scrvilc, more faithful and more formula
bic than the Janizaries of the Turk, the life guard
Of Napoleon, or the cohorts Of the Casars. Al
ready, they have disposed Of the Presidency to
one Of themselves, whom they have bound hand
and foot, that they may compel him to walk in
the path appointed for him. Already, these "a
bases and ssxypat;oss' have erected, for their
own immunity, Moloch tower of strength that
blinds. and confounds, and intimidates many of
e5e cif=eaS. teaching them to sinister to their
destruction. The executive administration has
ceased @sto promote the gcseral Uelfasc,o and de-
voted itself to promote tho welfare Of its adhc-
rents. 1t is no longer pcecraai, as it was intend
ed to be, but suicidal, as it cannot be, without
much evil. Its "sbsses asd ssE1pa-
tons" have destroyed confidence at homo and a.
broad. The fact that the new President has de-
tcmincd from necessity on from choice, to tread
in the footsteps Of his predecessor, gave the final
shock. The dcnunciation, APERISH CREDIT,
PERISH COMMERCE. became practically o.
for the present, both have pei.
