II opposes the reelection Of MARTIN Van BURFN,,
because Ilc
l. No Chief Magistrate Of this Union should re-II
main IN office than ONE TERN
Every prominent act of his administration has
not only hampered the interests and prosperity of the
country but has been open violation of the princi
Piles and professions of the Republican party
The tendency of federal action under his adj K
ministration is To absorb the powers Of the State Co
vernments, and to erect at Washington despoc SYST
TEN OF CENTRALisM AND CoNsoIIDAToN.
q lie Is the instrument of party and not the
President of the Union.
B. He is inaccessible TO the people-indferent tol
their wants and inierestscontemns their will by re-
fusng TO acqucsce in decisions of the maiority-isIi
selfish IN his views, and sectional and partial in his
acton--enertains estimate of human nature so II
low that il is degrading for upright citizen accept
an Office at his handsacting upon the principle that
The people are corrupt, and that every has his
price, bringing the patronage of his office in conflict
with the freedom Of their notwithstanding com IL
plete power the people for himself and disclam-
ing any duty in their behalf incumbent on him in
return,
.. He wants the whole moneyed power of the
United states vested IN him and under his control i
Z He will not agree that the patronage and power
Of the federal executive, exercised by him shall b
be either essened or regulated by law Id
3. He wishes the States to surrender their rghtlI
to the moneys arising from the sales of the public lands
y lie has subyerted the course of legislation, byl
making laws originate with him and partizan Sc u
nate; whereas they should originate in the House of
Representatives. HI
10. He recommends national bankrupt law ap-II
plicabe only TO corporations that he should possess
absolute control over all the State Institutions and
be able to crush them at pleasure. Iic
IL. He wants an Executive Bank and power to REL
sort to the exploded and runous practice Of deprecat
ed Government paper money
IL. The tendency of his recommendations is to de-
stroy the credit system of the country hamper its
commerce, to lessen its trade and deprecaie its la
Dor. II
l3. He has been in office three years, received
600 of the public money, and has accomplished teiI
else than running the ship of State off the republican
tack H
IA. He rests the merit of his administration uponll
one expcdent, which he has failed to carry and per
nuts one paltry question which involves mserabeII,
warfare against the State Banks engage his whole
mind and occupy his time proving him be contract
cd IN his views and incapable of the comprehensive
and magnanimous policy of statesman
ID. He has never originated carried through anvil
legislative body any law measure worthy of EN- I
inent statesman. Hi
Is. He has done nothing at any time worthy ofthe
gratitude of the people to enttle him ask them
to overlook the pledges of his predecessor and give
him the office of President for successive terms t
H. He appoints rogues and royalistsp to Office,
who steal and squander the public money liz
lS Considering the prospects of war; and the va
rous foreign and domestic relations and future hopes
of the country Mr.. Van Buren, who we infer from lii
his conduct wanting either in integrity capacity Ii
is not the man for the crisis
Thus every man in the Opposition may give the rea
righteous and unmpeachable candidates But an
and patronage of the government and led and deen
partzans struggle desperately against We have the
minority of the whole People of he IInion tho
increase the majority against him We can meet and re,
sentatons and expose their falsehoods and caumnies
discerning democracy will acclaim triumph for Liberty
