he eschews Loco Foco Democracy. Hear

when those who profess the doctrines Of demo.

have no political views to subserve, but will,
regardless of the source from which they ema-
nate, continue to oppose those measures which
think are calculated to njure my country,
and to advocate such as conceive are calcula-
ted to sustain our free institutions, and spread
peace, prosperity and happiness through the
land.
$. The financial concerns OF the country are
in SO dcplorable a condition, that change can
not be for the worse. | am clear " of opinion
that the doctrines of an exclusive gold and sill
yer currency are calculated to produce scene
of bankruptcy and rum never before witnessed
in our devoted country.
5. have heretofore been an advocate Of the
exclusive State Bank system but am now
fully convinced that, in consequence of local
influences and local causes, neither the govern
ment nor the people can prosper without the
aid of National Bank. Such bank can and
will, as it has done heretofore, give currency
preferable to a metallic currency alone am
not an advocate for inconyertibc bank paper,
but for such paper as will better subserve all
commercial purposes, and which can, at the
will of the holders, be converted into gold ana
silver.
/" In voting for Gen. Harrison, let it not be
said that am sustaining u man who is unwor
thy of public confidence. He is the son of one
of the sgners of the Declaration of Indepen
dence-the friend and supporter of Thomas
Jefferson, of james Madison and James Monroe
He has always been found ready and willing tc
enter the ranks in his country's defence, ane
Isec nothing charged against him which ha
been sustained by proof, calculated, in my opin
/ ion, to render him obnoxious to the charge o
being federalist.
ssIt is true that Gen. Harrison, after havin,
devoted large portion Of his life to the servic
of his country, has retired from public life an
sought his case and comfort by his own fire
side; but when the tocsn of war was sounded
or his country's liberties endangered, he ha
ever been found among the first to grid on hi
armor in defence Of his home and his country
