Gen Hirri,on is The President elect Of the U. S.;
| the returns from The western counties Of New York
have decided thai question. The time for change
has at last arrived; The time when the people in or
der To be convinced oil the benefits of Democratic
policy, must try taste Gifts opposite.
There is no teacher Ike experience No man
values the blessing OF health Ike him who has Just
risen nom sick bed--nO man enjoys the sweets of
liberty like him who has tasted the bitterness Of Op
preston We suppose that II is Just with nations
10 keep up their attachment 10 a wise and liberal
Government, which respects the rights and lbert les
o. oil alike, II mas be necessary that now and then
they should submit TO see their affairs administered
on principles which exall the few al the expense Of
| the many.
The Democratic party viii watch The conduct OF
the new administration, we hope in spirit OF tar
ness, but wilh determination To contest every inch
OF ground IN the attempt which will doubtless be
made TO revive exploded principles and pernriouS
measures. II they succeed in flrcinr a National
Bank upon US, We shall never cease Ia call Tor re-
peal 81 ITS charter u they return 10 the policy Of
Internal Improvements which prevailed under the
younger Adams,we shall demand that they be aban-
doned, the moment tie Democratic patty is again
N the aseeadency. they revive protective Tariff
we shall ,lllm that il be rescinded. Every step
that ls taken in violation of The Constitution aud The
principles equal rights will be retraccd the moment
their brief hour OF authority is past
The first step will undoubtedly be 10 propose
National Bank. They see that The commerce Of the
country is rapidly revyms, and the money market
gradually recovering from the state OF confusion into
which it was thrown by The failure Of our bankino
system, and they will be in haste TO apply their
grand remedy, in order that II MAJ have he credit
of bringing about the favorable results which musl
lnallihy take place, and ID fact, are nnw taking
| place without IT. Let them create their National
Bank, and let those subscribe IN its stock who are
wiling IN contribute their capitalize an institution
which has only four years n most 10 1--we LIS char
Ter will scarcely oulye the period prescribed for
filing p its stock
We enter upon the contest which lies b, fore us
not only with firm Ieso ution. but with the mos,
cheerful hopes OF the ISSUE. Democratic pripci
pies have taken deep root in lhs hearts even o,
many. who have been led by popular delusion,
to assist the overthrow Of the present Admins
Ifal'on The Young men of the country, with no
very numerous exceptions, are indoclrinaled
Democratic principles, friends to the freedom Of
trade, inclined to those plans Of Legislation which
interfere least with mems empIoyments, which
create iewest Offices, aud which are founded ON
an honest and rigid construction Of the Conslitu
lion. The moment the Wig party begin to move
~ those projects which their leaders have d,rkly
FhInted at, but which they dared no, distinctly pro.
claim because they knew them to be- unpopular.
We shall bavc this class of young men instantly
fFupon our side
The dispute which has now been decided A.
galnsl tho Democratic patty, has been conducted
by them IN a manner highly To their honor, with
frank avowal oi Ihen doctrines and intentions. and

The door Of the administration, have gained The

II our party has Iallcn, II has fallen with honor.
II our adversaries have trumphed, their ri.

OF a fraud. II will be short too for the fraud is |

We have heard people say that they are sorry |
Tor MIR Van Buren,, who has been defeated IN The |
canvass Tor reelection. For our part wa envy |
Mr. Van Buren,. We envy him for the high moral t
standing to which he IS raised by this very do. I
feat we envy him FOR the honorable place his
name will hold IN history. He is defeated he.
cause he would not beiray the ,rus. which the
people had rePosed IN him; because he would
conceoe nothing to expectancy because he
would mol JON with ,hose'by whose fraud the ma.
jority has now been changed, ia their consn;racv
against The people and The Constitution. Hs has
been defeated SIMPLY because OF his in,eyri,v and
his infiexibty, and because he would moi swerve
from lhe principles upon which the welfare ofhis
country depended, for The sake Of securing The
present ascendaocy ofhls party.
