MORE REMUNERATION.

Of Dontofoc
MORE REMUNERATION.
1t is with unfeigned pleasure that we
give place to the following remuneration
of Van Burenism by hitherto ardent sup
porter Of the present and late administra-
tions-and we doubt not that the reasons
therein set forth, will find a response in the
bosoms of hundreds and thousands of our
fellow citizens who have hitherto been bu.
too Jealous in their support of this rotten
and corrupt dynasty, who honestly thought
that in thus doing, they were serving the
best interests Of their country.
MAJ. SAMUEL B. WRIGHT, whose name
appears to the following, is an old, and
one Of our most respectable citizens, and
the course he has thought proper to pur-
sue, IN assigning the motives and reasons
that influence him for what some may be
pleased to term, change of principle
but which indeed is steady adherence to
principle, cannot, fail 10 be commended,
even by that party with whom he can no
longer cooperate:
NINETEEN REASONS
For declining further to support Mar
tin Van Buren,.
L. / do not believe the Sub Treas
ury a good thing.
2. [ do not believe in an exclusive
metallic currency.
3. | do not believe we can have a
uniform currency, without a National
Bank.
4. l do not believe in abolishing
the credit system.
5. | do not believe in any further
experiments on the currency.
g. | do not believe IN the plan pro-
posed for recognizing the militia.
z. | do not believe the President
can do NO wrong.
s. l do not believe the WILL of the
President should he the LAW of the
Land.
8. l do not believe in the practical
economy of the Big House and Kitchen.
10 1 do not boliovo that office hoI-
ders should be paid two prices for their
services, in gold and silver, while the
poor laborer gets half pay, in rags!
IL. | do not believe IT right to sup
port and advocate measures, calculated
to make the rich man richer, while
they make the poor man poorer!
II. | do not believe the President
should deal out rewards and punish
ments.
10. | do not believe Van Buren, is
acting out the principles, which first
elected Gen. Jackson.
IA. | do not believe men should be
prescribed for opinions sake.
Is. ] do not believe the thing Gre
ated, greater than the creator.
16. l do not believe In an eight
years term of Presidency.
II. l do not believe that times will
get any better, until we change mer
and measures.
IS. | do not believe everything
read in newspapers.
10. And lastly, / do not by any
means believe, that matters could be
come any worse by dismissing Var
Buren,, and electing Harrison or any
other intelligent honest man in hi
stead, that would see with eyes, ant
hear with ears, what the people saith
For eight years Gen. Jackson hao
my feeble support, and three years hi
successor; but for the reasons abov'
stated, l hope to be excused for with
drawing from the party, whose act
contradict the principles they profess
ever have been, am still, and eve
will be a democrat, if l understan'
correctly, the definition OF the word
but am no loco foco.
And now to all honest Democrats
IL would say, "Stop and think befor
YOU further co." and when the tim
shall arrive to vote, be sure that 20
vot.: the real Democratic Ticket.
