administration is based fundamental truths, and all
must come right if wild and deceptive Wing theories
suffered again 10 interrupt HE natural course OF
events. 1t has cost years of embarrassment to purge
off the of Federal fnancering and 1t is time to
give honest industry fair field
Hayes of LabOr-This subject too is mystiiied nnne-
cessay Human labor is bic great source OF all pro-
pery and yet the world ever, those who labor least,
contrve TO get hold Of thf most wealth, especially IN
the old world. This is dane partly By violence or
quest and partly by ingenuity: but so 1t Isl that all
the world except in country; the few wallow
in wealth. and the many are born only to toll and leave
their children oti,r than the sad inheritance
This is unnatural and result from the fact that the soil
is almost universally in the hands of the few The
mother earth is the primitive source OF all wealth
But in Err gland and Ireland vast proportion of the
population do not owr land enough for ugrave. Hence
follows that the Of the people, find tie larger
portion of their earnings go to pay the landlord and The
rich capitalist In this country our boundess national
domain is the abundant source TO which the laborer
may always resort. One months labor, at dollar
day will buy ten OF land. The capitalist then can
never impose long the aborer; if he does not offer
enough the laborer can work for HIMSELF and reap all
, the fruits. Adam Smith says, "the produce Of labor
constitutes the natural rccompense OF wages OF labor
GAS soon land becomes private property, the land
lord demands share of almost all the produce which
the aborer either raise collect from It, In the
original state of things which prccedcs the apPropra
ton of land, and the accumulation Of stock, the whole
produce of labor belongs 10 the aborcr he has neither
4 master nor landlord to share with him" These are
fundamental truths, and should sink deep into the bo
SONS of the Democratic party. 1t is the accumula
ton of vast capitals, and the monopozing OF all the
land BY the few that compel the aborer to share the
fruits of his labor, and the squald misery of the labor
ers of Europe, shows who gets the lions share. As
long then free suffrage, and the bearing pro-
tccs the aborer from unjust monopoles and the soil
the natural mine of wealth. is divided SO that the farmer
will be free to make his bargain and 10 degrade
him is impossible If he raise hundred bushels
wheat farmer, he get the full value OF thai
wheat and ask favor; and if his services want
ed elsewhere they must be paid tor IN that proportion
or he will not 60. The Wings wise serpents
they know this WE'LL and hence their clamor when Gen
Jackson stopped the large land companies from mono
policing public lands, by purchasing them for worth
less paper. He required value for value; his specie cir

State Stocks-Not little of the influence directed
against the Administration from the foreign hold
ers Of State Stocks. They do not understand
situations, and think the guarantee CT the u. S.
sary to their security and change in the Admnsra
tion too, they identify the rule Of the nrsocracy in
England, with security to property In the first place
the States the best security. The l.. S. is but
body polite ills elements the States God forbid The
time should come; butt if the Union dissolved
the States remain liable to pay their debts But in Eu-
rope the Democracy judged Of by the wrctchcd

collects together to groan aloud and in public TO vent

The lordly rulers who send troop OF cavalry among
them, to rampe them to the EARTH and drive them back
TO labor and prvation.
They cannot conceive Of such audience as have
this moment the honor to address; met together from
their various avocations, gravey TO discuss important
and fundamental political principles. Men who feel
independent in the consciousness that their country
their own, and they both rule and protect it with.
out any aid from privileged ORDERS mercenary SOL
diers; men, too who the soil, labor free from the
exactions of landed arstocracy, and have homes 10
cherish, families TO rear, and country 10 fight for To
whom law and order is DEAR 10 whom public faith is
precious; who read and think and Grel-in word
the sovereign people Did they but know the honest
Democracy of America, they would desire change,

safe in their hands.
And now, my friends, must bid you farewell, and
