consistent with the support In any contingency OF
a man whose whole course Of measures has been
but continual violation Of every sound tenet Of Re-
publicanism, and one continued crusade against
popular rights and national interests.
At proper time, the Madisonian will be prepared
10 sustain FOR the highest Offices In the government,
such "honest and capable" candidates as public
sentiment shall seem TO indicate-such as shall seem
best calculated to concentrate the greatest DEMocRA-
TIC REPUBLICAN support-to overthrow the measures
which have thus TAR proved destructive to the best
interests Of The country, and at the time TO send
into retirement the men who have attempted 10 force
them upon a reluctant and resisting people,
Above ALL such shall be most likely to preserve
the CONSTITUTION of the country to perpetuaie its
USoN and to transmit the public liberties unimpair-
ed to posierily. We constantly remember the name
We have assumed and We shall be unworthy Of II,
whenever the preservation Of the constitution ceas-
es TO be our first and chief object.
We are moi to be understood, in any view, as for
saking DEMocRArc REPuBLIcAN principles. The
merit Of apostacy belongs TO the Executive, and the
friends, whose political fortunes he has involved.
Those principles, in any event, we shall firmly adj
here to, and consistently and ardently support.
In endeavorng TO accomplish these great objects,
there will undoubtedly be found acting In concert,
many who have heretofore differed on other matters
That they have honestly differed, should be sufi-
cient reason for not INDUCING In elimination and
recrimination in relation 10 the past Let former
rors on all Sides be overlooked forgotten, the
only means by which one harmonious movement
may be made TO restore the Government TO its an
cieut purity, and TO redeem republican Dstitu-
tons from the spirit OF radicalsm which threatens
TO subveri them
That small patriotic band that have dared TO sepa-
rate themselves from party serve their country,
sible. They hold the Balance Of Political Power.
Let ii not tremble in their hands! And as they hold
il for their country, SO may the Balance Of Eternal
Justice be holden for theml
