craiic--we yielded n hearty, and We
think, we'll mofited support TO much the
greater portion Of the late adminisira
tion--and assisted TO the utmost Of our
humble abilities, in cleyatinu 20 power the
present Chief Magistrate Of the nation.
And, though We arc welded to no man or
party, yet so long as he continues to fol-
low in that line, which he has already
chalked ont for himself, we shall conceive
that we can no better preserve, protect,
and defend the constitution and liberties
otthe people than by yielding him an ar
dent and untireing support. Reared in
the land that gave birth to the great apos-
tie of liberty, we early to lisp Democra-
cy, Jefferson, Liberty--we have enlisted
RELY tn the contest, and our subsequent
days sha be spent we trust as our first
nave been, battling in the cause offreedom
Wo believe that the so STYLED Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions of '98 and 90,
give true exposition Of the spirit and
meaning Of The constitution, that the
political line which they have drawn, is
thcon intended to be thrown around the
national government to keep it HdthrTst-os
prescribed limits utlh yielding to this 4
1cfYef, we have not thought It neces 1
iary to run into the ultra State Rights i
doctrines, contained in the South Caro- !
ma ordinance of 1889.
We are for strict construction Of the 2
constitution, and can therefore never
yield the point that Congress can, with I
,ut most palpable and dangerous in. ,
raction, of the constitution, charter, a
ration Bank, or create any other corpo- Q
ate body. Yet we do not entertain any Il
'uch utopian vision as is held by the Lo- Il
o Foco party Of New York--to bring il
he government down to an exclusive gold Il
md silver currency without covering the /,
and with distress and wide spread ruin, n
We believe IL Is wholly chlmericai, absurd n
and ridiculous--we do not believe, that >
any prominent member of the Democratic !
party, ever advocated snch spartan pol !,
ICY, certain it is that neither Gen. Jack :
son nor Mr.. Van Buren, ever did. Wei
Are satisfied that precious metals for the q
ordinary purpose of trade, with sound =
md uniform paper currency, convertible
INTO gold and silver at the will of the
holder, for the more extended objects of
commerce, would best suit the wants t
IF the American people, and il best adap f
ed to the genius of our free institutions c
TO this point we would have the govern. D
nent direct its cnergies--proceeding with q
! gradual, but determined purpose to con !.
vince the people that to this end things
must come, not by rash and prccipltate !,
conduct to whelm in ruin the fortunes Of /.
men, who though provident enough in !
other respects, have for season been
beguled by the syren Of iancicd fortune. .
In this launching out upon the troubled
bosom Of the political ocean, we are 9
aware that adverse winds may stay the
of our little bargue in its on-
ward course TO the haven Of prosperity. a
But we shall spread our canvass to the 1
breeze and trust with good helmsman
and sober crew We shall ere long ride
out of the storm in triumph, and moor :
our little craft along side vessels Of {
larger class and stronger bottom As !
intimated above, Literature Science Ag- !
&c. will come in for a portion !
Of our attention. {
