hang the fate of our beloved Republic. The
fact cannot, ana should not longer be passed over
in silence, that we are now approaching the same
fearful and disastrous crisis, which has marked
the destinies of all ancient Republics, and in
every instance proved but the prelude of anarchy
and dissolution
The rubicon is already passed-ths PURSE is
already surrendered by subservient Congress,
into the grasping hands of the President, and the
proposition is now before the people, whether, a
STANDING ARMY of TWO HUNDRED THOU
SAND MEN, as proposed to Congress by the Sec
rotary of War, and strongly recommended by
Mr.. Van Buren, himself, shall complete the eli
max, and place securely in his hands, the
SWORD, as well as the Treasure of the Nation.
This fearful and disastrous evil may be e.
verified; but if these prerogatives of the people
are once surrendered, from that fatal moment, we
may date the final destruction Of our Republican
privileges
The freemen of Maine have announced their
deter minaton upon these points, in language that

ponents are rallying for the contest, and will
leave no stone unturned-let US rest then, only
upon our arms, and once more "trust IN Provi-
dence-and keep our po,oder dry! thus, dong
our duty, OUR WHOLE DUTY, as FREEMEs
ought always to do, we shall be again successful
by triumphant majority and our beloved Country
will be redeemed from MISRULE and COR.
RUPTION, and once more be governed in 40
cordance with the principles of DEMOCRATIC
