THE TORY PRESIDENTI4L CAN
DIDATE.

N l.
Really this extraordinary man, vas born to
astonish the world with his politicd gulliblty.
During the war we behold him the ilveterate foe
of Demoeracy-openly declaring tie administra-
ton Of Madison as monstrous and corupt!--if we
may credit the history of that crisis Then was
he at heart loyal Briton, so far as he dared and
not commit himself traitor to his county
Then did he seek to win golden opinions of all
foreign residents under British influence among
us, and which he has from that period striyen to
maintain for the accomplishment of his own po-
litica ends. Supported he is solely by foreign
efforts and votes, we marvel not his recent base
attempts to naict upon free institutions the
forms and customs of monarcheal governments
We marvel not he pines for the robe ct royalty
to sit upon the throne with absolute authority.
ADMINISTRATIONS, of our own native citizens
three fourths of all the public offices under his
immediate patronage are filled by the lowest
dregs of human society-the outcasts OF the world
-runaacay foreigners--the vest OF the vile.
Turn your eye to the city of Washington. DO
we not here have confirmation strong as holy
writ A single instance truly--other cases how
ever are not wanting to swell the immeasurable
list Thus then do we assert that the tory Presi-
Dental candida tie owes his present official sta
ton and popularity to the aid of foreigners-and
hence the sequel of his unbounded love toward
his adopted countrymen and reward of their
jealous partiznnship. Else why the murmurs Of
the native American party--a party rapidly grown
up in our country, expressly to oppose the fast
striding power of these European emissaries.
Listen to the truths promulgated by the leading
organs of that patriotic press-and if you are
Americans in heart and soul you will manfuliy
como to the rescue, and demonstrate your claims
by unvincible opposition to the re collection Of
Van Buren, and his army of foreign ofiice-holders
and supporters.
We have witnessed another species of gullibili-
ty to sustain himself in the hour peril in late
order emanating from this man, for the adoption
of the RADICAL 'loco-foco ten-hour" system OF
labor, at all our government works. Here, again
foreigners are chiefly employed in preference to
native industry-the latter being too indepen-
dent to suit the political designs of our chief
magistrate lille the former, lazy and time serv-
ing as they are, the ten hour system is just the
bait for them to swallow, and hurrah for Misther
Van Bur.r-rns Thus we fathom his catch-trap
to secure rec election by the aid of foreig votes
and influence.
Now let US look at the snare laid for those OF
our native countrymen, who had wandered into
the path Of folly, and having stood by him like
men deserving decent usage, are now waverng
in their devotion to his sinking cause. We
behold him offering to them 40 TANGIBLE
| 6ribe-no TIME serving inducement' No, he
| knows full well that American hearts scorn and
detest bribery and corruption. Their rights and
liberties are not to be sold for a of pottage
We behold him attempting to undermine their
mpathies--woeping over the complicated agon-
les of MODERN DEMOCRACY and pathet-
ically exclaiming:
"The prospect fills my soul with fears
| Dreadful the retrospect appears
| o lend your aid !! my life shall hence
| Obterate each past offence"
| But our injured native Americans not to
be gulled by his meanings and trckery The
fable of 'sthe fox without tall is fresh in Their
memory. His lamentations are set to the tune
of ..the office leave behind me - It's no GO h
cunt come in j.! The people don't hear him. APP
| ply to the back door Martin, your friends are O
the Kitchen Cabinet Ills there his supporter!
are to be found, armed to the teeth for duty ant
Van Buren,. Not so with our native citizens
whole souled, patriotic Americans They have
to a man enlisted under "ihe star spangled ban
ner" for Harrison and our country.
The enemies of our country have hoisted the
motto .sVan Buren, rules the roost." Our friend.
Observation-Disclosures now and forev er'-ant
by the blessing of God, long may il continue
floating in the breeze, is the response of every
well wisher of his country's happiness and pros
perity. Our own New England was first to re-
sist British encroachments and oppression. 81
is she now first in rebuking the sins of omission
and commission of our foreign minded President
Nobly has New England made the onset with he
light troops of Connecticut and Rhode Island
The loco foco cyan" has been beaten and tri
umphant success is ours. Ere twelve month
not rag will be left flying in the country b.
which toryism can be identifed--and Martin
alas i'll fated bird-will have sought shelter il
foreign chimes where the thirst for ROYALTY
! is kindly appreciated.
