The PRINCIPAL CAUSES WHICH HAVE RETARDED
THE PROGRESS OF THE REPEAL Parry
TIER HAPPY REMOVABLE THE PATRIOTISM OF
OUR LEGISLATURE.
One OF the principal causes which has c"ntri-
but-d to prevent the doctrines Of The Repeal
Party from being avouchrd by almost every na-
tive American of both psrtits. has heretofore
been the apprehension that their respective par
ties might be iajired by SUI h al av"wal.
We have been repeatedly told by every prom
inrnt whiy or democrat with whom ever con
versed on the subject, that they perfectly con
cured with us IN sentiment, bat the, Were afraid
it would ir ure their respective parties. On this
account. some time since prepared Il drclara-
ton of faith, which was signed by sevrnly->ix
active and w-I-known democrats, and seventy
six active and well known wings, which we in
tended to have published at proper time. 1hat
,bl,caton however has almost been rendered
nnn ces>ary by he recent proceedings in the State
Legislature N man will be stupid enough to
s,ippos. that that wa> whig measure which was
introduced by the Hon. Thomas Green Davidson,
and sustained by Mrssrs. Barrow, Morse, Moulon,
Wordsworth, Carter, Ratlif and othrrs-aad no
man would arknow ledge himself so ignorant as
to intimate that that was a democratic measure
which being introduced by Mr. Davidson, the
most decided democrat in the House, was seron-
d,d Ivy Mr. Brashear, the most decided whig in
the HonS,. aud sustained by Messrs. GIion, Con-
rad Phelps. Thomos, Patton, and others,
The measure may therefore be properly enti
tied patriot MEASURE arising from that pure love

Influences OF party. Indeed it was great moral
spectacle. to behold in times "i violent party

to carry the day, however hopeless in the
prospective; which must be met with cor

late and early we must be in the field; and
the noon day sun must never find us idle:
let every Wing adhere to this-and above
all, let no Wing conclude, that he has no
duty 10 perform; for such will prove IA
tai delusion. He has duty 10 perform, and
that of the most arduous character-and
nothing must deter him from its perform
ance: In the first place, he should use all
his information TO enlghten the minds Of
others, and his influence to bring them TO
'knowledge Of the TRUTH" and into the
rigbt way-this should he do till the day
of the election; when, with all care, and
without single omission he should sec
