:. no Is the instrument OF party, and not the
President Of the Union
8. He is inaccessible to the peope-indiHerent 10
their wants and interests-contemns their will by re-
fusing to acquiesce in decisions Of the maiorty-is
selfish In his views and sectional and partial in his
action--entertains an estimate Of human nature so
low that IT Is degrading for upright citizen accept
an ofice at his handsacting upon the principle that
the people are corrupt and that every man has his
price, bringing the patronage Of his Office in conflict
with the freedom Of their elections assuming com
plete power over the people for himself and disclam
ing any duty in their behalf incumbent on him in
return.

United States vested in him and under his control
Z He will not agree that the patronage and mower
of the federal executive now exercised by him shall
be either lessened or regulated by law

one expedient which he has failed carry and per-
mits one patry question which involves miserable
warfare against the State Banks to engage his whole
mind and occupy his time, proving him to be contract
ed in his views, and incapable Of the comprehensive
and magnanimons policy of statesman.
10. He has never originated carried through any
Legislative body, any law worthy of an en-

l6. BE has done nothing al any time worthy of the
gratitude of the people, to cnttle him to ask them
to overlook the pledges Of his predecessor and give

IT, He appoints "rogues and royalists" to office,
who steal and squander the public money
