People what my views were upon the sub
Treasury scheme many years ago. In

cided opposition to the present ruinous
sub-Treasury system, which is now look.

will desolate and lay waste our trade
and commerce, laud bring the people 10
poverty and want.
still continue to advocate the origin
al principles which Gen. Jackson avowed,
and which Mr.. Van Buren promised TO
carry out; and in view of which prom
Use, warmly supported his election to
the Presidency. But Mr.. Van Buren,
i has himself abandoned those original
measures Of Gen. Jackson by thrice ur-
cling upon the People the sub-Treasury
system, which the People, through their
immediate representatives, haze Mrtce
rejected. When he first recommended
the adoption of the present sub Treasu-
ry system he promised to go sin accor-
dance with the wishes Of the People"
/, He has failed to do so. | therefore am
: compelled, from sense of duty to my
self and my country, to say that cannot
under any circumstances, be induced tc
yield HIM my support, at least, not TIL
can support him on principle.
When Gen. Jackson retired from office
|, he left the Government in a more pros
e porous, independent, and happy situation
s than any other nation on earth, anC
