foreign Courts, been engaged in great commercial
relations, concerned with Banks, or the descend
ant of some eminent "Whig" Lawyer, for the pur-
pose of putting down the growing influence of Re-
publican Democracy.
We believe in the establishment of some other
form of Government; that Republican savors too
much of equality, giving an opportunity to dema-
gogues to dsappoint our most hallowed desires for
the establishment of legitimate nobility.
We believe, for the we'll ordering of society, that
all political communities ought and should be divi-
ded the first consist of the nobility, the rich and
we-born the second, all the poor, ignorant, vul-
gar-say the mass of the people.
We believe that the mass of the people are gross
ly ignorant turbulent and violent and have not the
ability to do or Judge right.
We believe that the election of THOMAS JEFFER-
SON to the Presidency was the cause of bringing
up that portentous cloud so hard for to dispel;
all vices centred in him; he the wretched one
who advocated and published the accursed princi-
plies of Democracy, which hath corrupted and de-
moralized the public mind and brutalized nearly
the whole community. .t..e
We believe that the rich, descendants of qaobiH-
ty and all the s0el-born, are alone entitled toPu5
We believe that the rights of property alone
be secured by a conservative aristocracy. -
We believe the opinions of JEFFERSON to be false
and visionary, and that there defects in Con-
stituton, and in popular opinions that no Ad
ministration can rectify.
We believe that the mass of the people are too
ignorant to judge of the qualifications necessary for
the Chief Magistrate Of great Nation, and that

We believe that the advocates of Republican De-

and made to grind their corn at their lords mill
that farmers and mechanics are no more fit to han
die our Statute Books with their huge paws, than
the commonest blacksmith is to repair the best
Chronometer; we utterly opposed to see or
know of any man who comes from the plough-tail
having any thing to do with legislation or aspiring
to any office within gift.
We do not believe in the honesty or intelligence
of the people, for the history of all nations cannot
present an example of suoh total want of either
honesty or intelligence our country affords.
We believe that such plan of Government built
upon this creed is very remote from the idea o
the people.
We believe that Bank notes of any description
are more valuable than gold or silver, and thai
Banks are on a much more solid foundation when
without gold silver, and the country the richer
when most in debt and nothing to pay with
We believe in all sorts of internal improvement
no odds where commenced or ended, or at what ex
pense, or where the money comes from.
We believe in keeping the people in as much ig
norance as possible, for by enlghteping the public
mind you will bring to naught our most cunningly
devised plans. -.s -.
