Whereas, we view the leading measures Of
the present administration rs calculated to
blight the faircst hopes of the American ci,i-

discover nought in its history but broken pro-
misses and pecuniary distress. They promis-
ed the people a gold aud silver currency
when they closed the doors of the banks and
they have given them poverty. They made
the banks suspend, and now tell the people
they must work for as low wages as the peo-
pie of Europe. They have told our mechan-
les and me, chants that they must not trade on
credit, and have caused the work shops to be
shut up and the factory hands to be dismissed
They promised the farmer gold and high prices
for his flour and corn, beef and pork, and he
cannot now sell either for the cost of produc-
ing. They have deceived and abused the
people, and now insult us il we complain -
they promised ietrenchment and reform in
the expenses OF government, and they have
given US unparalleled extravaganza and prod
igality.--
