and what will be the end Of the present state
Iefthingsi Shall the Wings succumb and
and give the disorganizers full swing, in The
devout hope that they will hang themselves
At the last election in this State, the Wings
went 70 the polls like a flock without q
shepherd, and no one knew his fellow
Shall we not, then, organize with better sys-
tenn, and rally around the banner of the
Union, unite to restore the prosperous times

come upon US with fury tenfold beyond
their worst fears? And for whose benefit,
have these sufferings been brought about?
What did we elect General jackson for?-
We elected him to carry out II whole vol
ume Of sound principles, embodied in the
speeches, newspapers and pamphlets, that
flooded the country from the opposition in
1896, not one solitary item of which, but
has been outrageously violated!-Was there
one principle honestly acted upon or car
ried out. upon which Jackson opposed Adj
ans? Not one-all were abandoned, all
have been repudiated. For whose benefit,
then, has our currency been destroyed; our
trade Frustrated, our country demoraliseds
Can any body point me to one branch Of
the creative or carrying labor OF the country
that has not suffered and will not suffer by
these uncalled for and accused changes2
What have the people Of the United States
gained in any one capacity, by the last six

Communicative we even gained any great
political principle? Did not Gen. Jackson
completely box The entire political compass?
Had he one single guiding star but his own
will, and did he not yeer and tack with eve
ry wind of prejudice2 There Is not one
principle consonant with good Government,
that he did not violate. There is not one
principle contradictory TO good Government,
from the lowest drcgs Of agrarianism to the
highest blue lights Of Federalism--from the
very mobocracy Of his abuse Of the Banks
: to the inexorable tones Of proclamation, that
he has not nvowed and acted out, and tina,
has not been impressed into his service, in
different and opposing sections Of the coun.
