zens of this isrepublic, to arrest those hume
, rous evils, and believing that the struggle
now going on between the Wing and self
styled Democratic parties of the United
States involves not only the injuries refer
red to, and other aggressions Of the present
administration. but involves also the stabili-
ty and dperpetuity of our government. We
believe, that if the Wing party shall be
successful, a return oftimes gone by awaits
US, but should they be defeated, war
(which has already begun) of Executive
influence and control will be renewed with
terrible energy, and will determine the
fate Of this Republic, for years. perhaps
ages.
| We have. after the most mature and de-
libeEate consideration. weighed we'll the
characters ofthe two prominent candidates
for the Presidential chair. and have come
tothe estconvction, that the election of
General WILLIAM HENRY HAIR
RISON will go far to retrieve and main
tain in its original purity, both the spirit
and meaning of our happy form of govern
ment while on the other hand we are
equally convinced, that the reelection oil
Mr. Yam Buren,, will tend greatly to de-
stroy both, and keep US in that downward
road TO destrution, until our rights, privi-
leges and liberties itself, will be eYerlast.

We therefore, portion of the Wing
party of the y. States, having determined
to cast our suffrages for General Harrison
for President and John Tyler for Vice Pre-.

our power for the success of our cause. and
