tiou---ond assisted to the utmost of our
humble abilities, in olcvotngto power the
present Chief Magistrate Of the nation.
And, though we are welded to no man or
party, yet so long as he continues to fol-
low in that line, which he has already
chalkcd out for himself, We shall conceive
that we can no better preserve, protect,
and defend the constitution and liberties
ofthe people than by yielding him an ar
dent and untlrelng support. Reared in
the land that gave birth to the great apos-
tie OF liberty, we early to lisp Domocra-
cy, Jefferson, Liberty--we have enlisted
freely tn the contest, and our subsequent
days sha be spent we trust as our first
have been, battling in the cause of free
dom.
We believe that the so styled Virginia
and kentucky resolutions of '99 and 80,
give true exposition of the spirit and
meaning of The constitution, that the
political line which they have drawn, is
the one intended to be thrown around the
national government to keep it within its
prescribed limits, but in yielding to this
belief, we have not thought it noces-
sary to run into the ultra State Rights
doctrines, contained in the South Caro-
lima ordinance Of 1889.
we are for strict construction Of the
constitution, and can therefore never
yield the point that Congress can, with,
out a most palpable and dangerous in
traction, of the constitution, charter. a
nation Bank, or create any other corpo-
rate body. Yet we do not entertain any
sucn nfoplan vision as is held by the Lo-
co foco party Of New York-.-to bring
the governmentdown to an exclusive cold
ana SILVER currency without covering the
land with distress and wide spread ruin,
we believe 1t is wholly chimerical, absurd
and ridlculous-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. We
are satisfied that precious metals for the
ordinary purpose of trade, with a sound
and uniform paper currency, convertible
INTO gold and silver at the will of the
hoidef, Tor the more extended objects of
commerce, would best suit the wants
OF the American people, and it best adap
TED to the genius of our free institutions
10 thus point we would have the govern
mcnt direct listener gies-proceednp with
q gradual, but determined purpose TO con
vince the people that to this endto things
must come, not by rash and 'precipttaie
conduct to whclm in ruin the fortunes off
men, who though provident enough in
other respects, have for season been
beguiled by the syren of iancied for
tune.
In this launching out upon the troubled
bosom of the political ocean, we are
aware that adverse winds may stay The
progress of our little bargue in its on.
ward course to the haven of prosperity. i
But we shall spread our canvass 10 the
breeze and trust with a good helrnsman
ma sober crew we shall ere long ride
'ut OF the storm in triumph, and moor
'ur little craft along side vessels Of a
arger class and stronger bottom. AS
