dg. The same reason that the Demo

stronger reason for arraying ourselves against

Proclamation man or not, W. are no; advised
As he was originality a Jackson man, the prob
ability is against il. So far both tickets may
be placed upon an equal footing. But as we
proceed and investigate, the superior claims Of
the Wing ticket appear clearer, more distinct

II has been conceded, that the entire Wing

pprecated the principles Of free governments,

When the Executive of the Union despoticaliy +
lrust aside the talented Duane, because he e
ouId not violate his oath in obedience 10 his j
'yqt acquisitions, and plumber the national Il
treasury, the Why ticket was found batting y
Ith zeal aad etoquence against the encrotch- o

I'd Thompson at that time? They were soe:I L
lngIing in that flock OF political vuItufes who Il
'Ileyed that all por,r belonged inherently to c
e EXecuiive,-,and that the 'tIIcro" could do
} wrong. On this occasion, the Wing ticket h
led with the people, opposed the aggressions 81

'eterable to the present Van Buren, ticket d
