man and other signefs Of The Declaration Of
independence, it admonishes me that in
common with every lover Of wholesome laws
and wise administration Of the same 10
the people of this eonfederacy. should not
stand still and look quietly on at the base
corruption, the swindling and the tfampling
under foot of so many Of our best laws
which have been acreated for the good and
well being Of this people, without extend
ing the hand Of relief and protection, how
ever feeble it may be, and endeavoring by
honest and fair means 10 rescue the power
from our present despolic and tyrannical
rulers, before we are hurled into imperish-
able and ifretrieYable ruin and degradation.
Many good wings console themselves with
the belief, that the great principles for which
we are now contending, will ultimately gain
the ascendeney, without making any extra
ordinary exertions TO achieve so desirable
an end. But here they are deceived. If
we stand by with folded arms and look on,
and wait for the accomplishment of that
end, without making an effort to stop this
wide spread ruin and oppression, which is
daily increased and forced upon us, we will
soon fnd that we have been thrown into a
most awful vortex of degradation and vasa-

traced to our own carelessness and luke
waunness. Whigs Of Holmes, never suffer
such reproack to be cast upon you while
you have the energy, while you have the
strength, the life-aye, while you have one
spark of patriotism in your bosom, or one
drop of blood in your viens, recollect the
heroes of '76, and think of the mighty strug-
giles, the hardships and the privations they
underwent. and come to the rescue and say,
1qet as 60 and do likewise"

than a fen of both parties lay some claim to
him. I do not believe however any really
genuine chigs do claim him; he may there
