Emuhdfic Sons!

Messrs. Todd and Drake Of Cincinnati have publish

not republished his memorable letter oi!s2s, which
declares that "the Bank of the United States is
unconstitutional-and the only document on which

to conclude, therefore, with the Democratic Committee

ply. The Hon. Chiffon Allan of Kentucky, in a late
letter which the Wings puff up to the skies, declares,
that General Harrison's political creed is substantially
that upon which our Government has been admins
tered by Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and
John @. Adams. What grouping is here! What ex-
traordinary conjunction is this What Centaur-like po-
ltcs must he possess The State Rights principles
of Thomas Jefferson, combined with the loose, latitu-
dinous construction OF that sky high politician, John g
Adams In other words, General Harrison is any
Hungarian, nothingarian-Ile would be precisely just
such a President, as Messrs. Clay and Webster would
make of him-according TO the terse and powerful let
Ter, which MIR. McDuilie has addressed TO the Demo
Gratis of Milledgeville. (Read that mastery, and we

guided. He tells us, as an insuperable objection
to General Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren,, that every
ancient practice of the Government was to be sub
verted-The protection of American industry must
be withdrawn-the National currency must be over
th~rown-State Banks must be set up-the Internal I'm
provement powers, as well as the power over the cur

must be made The fiscal agents ofthe Federal Treasury"
(the last, by the by, q singular mistakeD OF course,
we are TO put in Gen. Harrison to restore the ancient
rcgime-that is to say, to res orc the Protective Tariff,
the National Bank, the National system of lnternal I'm
provements, &c. &c. Such is the light in which the
Federal candidate is viewed in Kentucky and all the
West-He is there supported as a Bank man-and yet
the ReueGades here are trying TO uphold him as an
Anti-Bank man. Fudge! MIR. Speaker Hunter is
right. Give us Harrison-and he and his friends will
saddle us with a 80 millions Bank for 80 years-or
more and longer People of Virginia! will you suffer
yourselves to be hoodwinked bamLS,licd and insuli-d
by such equivocating politicians.
Last Of at these Sisns,--lt was but the other day
that Thurlow Weed, the State Printer of New York,
the associate Of Governor Seward, the Federal organ
of the Wing party in New York, declared, that "a
.Nati0aat E0nk is as indispensable as a .Nataaat Go
rernment. Republicans of Virginia! lei us have no
more pallering or triiiing. II you wish for a National
Bank, then vote for w. II. Harrison. If you go for
the Constitution of your country, then down with Har-
rison, and all his allies--down with all tricks and hum.
bugs-down with this disgraceful insult TO the people
log cabins and hard cider.
