To his Democracy Of The County Of Csemung.
FELLowr ClrzENs: A duty We owe to you, as well
as ourselves, claims that We should present our
for having dissented from the opinions enter
tanned by majority of the delegates appointed by
you, to convene at Fairport on the 4th inst 10 re-
present the political feelings and wishes Of the de-
mocracy OF this country. We ever have entertain
ed the utmost respect for the honest political opinions
Of friends and deeply regret ever should have
occasion to differ from them in political sentiments
But the time has come when the condition Of our
country calls loudly for the Wig liant exercise Of gem
uine patriotism in defence of republican principles,
ss.aganst the encroachments made upon them by the
misguided policy Of the federal executive. We
consider the present administration 10 have dgress-
ed very far from the principles which characterized
that of late Chief Magistrate, Andrew Jackson,
aud having SET at naught the policy that actuated
the repGbscan. party q, The time Of the election Of
In this we differ from majority Of the delegation Of
the 4th Inst While they claim the pfescn, admins
traiiDn 10 be conducted on those principles that in
duced US 10 give our vote for Martin Van Buren,,
we denounce It, as a system held forth not only in
dianetrc opposition them, bur also 10 The interests
and voice OF the people The present executive, BY
waging war against the moneyed institutions Of our
country a, large has dyressed. from the previous
policy ID the democracy, who aimed at the destruc-
: lion Of the overwhelming and corrupng influence
of the U. s. Bank, but sought 10 render the State
banks as WELL efficient fiscal agent, the
of supplying the wants of the people with safe and
convenient medium Of exchange.
Weelaim that the present administration has be-
come corrupt and daily proving itself no longer die
tated by The principles that gave it existence
These facts evinced,
lst By the attempt to force through the Sub-trea-
snry experiment, making new disposition of the
rect control of the public money, thereby uniting in
the President the dictatorship over the financial and
military departments.
I'd, by waging war against the nnonoyed institu-
lions OF the country and coercng measures by which
the currency has been derangcd and the known will
OF the people violated '.. "
3D. Bya reckless and total disregard OF previous
principle in the attempt to repeal the distribution
4h. BY disregaIding the petitions of the people,
and BY trampling upon their decisions.
9Th. By proaisacy in the expenditure Of the pub
lie moneys
Such are some Of the reasons why we cannot APP
prove Of the resolutions adopted by majority Of
the delegates with whom we were associated. We
have ever been and still claim TO be- the firm adhe-
rents to the policy prescribed by Andrew Jackson,
and although times may have crept into his
adm Illustration, still we do not consider the funda-
mental principles of his policy violated only by the
designating schemes and destructive measures Of
the present executive. , t.. X ...-.... ~.
We therefore must either dissemble our opinions,
or condemn the policy of the present administration
We choose the laiter, and thereby pledge ourselves
10 principles o. reform; and in doing so, we solicit
the voluntary cooperation of the true democracy Of
Chemrng
