interest, to be used as part of their capital and
that they lent it out upon interest their custom

stockholders Thus the few were enabled to rn
rich themselves by using the money which belong

drawn from the Treasury, without an appropria.

of constitutional prohibition. MIR. Vdn Bu-

This is the language Of Mr. Van Buren,; and
what will the peopissay, when they learn that the
pet banks were absolutely ordered by the Secre
tary of the Treasury to use the public money as
banking capital, and thus perpetrate what the
President calls " clear violation of the spirit Of n
constitutional provision?" Such was the fact. -

unite the government and the banks in the bonds

JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACy.

When Jefferson came into Office, he issued
circular to the ofiiceholders, forbddng them from
interfering in elections, and threatening to remove
from office those who disobeyed. This sui ecl
was one of peculiar weight in his estimation, aud
on occasion he wrote as follows:
"One thing would say, that, as to the future,
interference in elections whether of the State or
General Governments, by officers Of The latter,
should be deemed cause Of remoudL-because the
constitutional remedy by the elective principle
becomes nothing, if it may be smo,hered by The
enormous patronage ofthe General Government
"THOMAS JEFFERSON."
What, fellow citizens, is the practise al this
day? Why, your modest assumers of all the de-
mocracy in creation absolutely insist, that the fed
era office holders shall not only Use their person
al exertions and influence in all elections, state
and national, but also give part OF their salaries
20 constitute an electOneermg fund.- Look about
you: behold friend Barker, and Lowry, and Has
well, and Richardson, and Spalding, peusion a
CENT? aud Kellogg district attorney and candi-
date for Congress- and Baylies (nai contractor,
and candidate lorrepresenl0tiye in this town. and
numbers in the custom house and Post Office de
partment: and besides VAN NESS, who is as
bad as any of them, for he is at work TO pny for
one fat Office already had, and for another fat
promised him. Did you ever see men work more
increasingly And 90 down into Windsor coun-
ty-and behold poslmnsters remoued, because they
wodd mol paypan Of their salaries 10 support East
mans Spirit of the lyngl Age" Thus do they
practically denounce and renounce Jefiersonan
democracy thus do they SMOTHER TnE CONsTI-
TUTIoNAL REMEDY THE ELECTIVE PRINCIPLE.
Ho ye Jeffersonian democrats of '99: ho ye
Jackson democrats of 1928 the federal locofocos
have abandoned your long cherished doctrines. -
You must sacrifice your principles, or abandon
them.

NEGLECT OF DUTY BY EXECUTIVE OF
FICERS-MORE ABOUT Ma fIONAL
EXPENSES

We have shown an increase of expenses OF
millions upon millions, and we have proved them
10 be unwise, eXtravagant, and ndeiensbe by
giving item upon item, not one OF which has been
denied. This is enough TO convince any reusona-
bic man, that the party in power was verify gull
ty ofimposne upon the people by false promises,
when they pledged themselves to the work OF re-
trenchinent. But we have left two points I'M
touched. First, the
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT..
This has been conducted somewhat after the
fashion every otherbanch, as we shall prove by
the report made on the Goth May $780, by the
committee on Post Roads. Here are two simple
facts which settle the matter.
For the year ending July |, 1885, there were
25,S69,4S6 miles of mail transportation, costing
Sl,657,77 being a fraction over cents per
mile.
For the year ending July J. 1889, there were
S4,496S78 miles of mail transportation, costing
So, l94, pol being q fraction over cents n mile.
Here then is0n increase of 1889 over 1885, OF
two cents per mile, amounting to S6S9,937 SO in
aslnge year and yet the means of transportation
have been constantly growing easier and cheaper
The second point which we have heretofore
left untouched is the
DEFALCATIONS.
The following embraces list offederal officers
who have become defaulters during the admins
ration of Mr. Van Buren,, j. e. since 637 Let
the admirers of 1he Sub Treasury read it, and tell
lis whether the Globe of 1884 was not right in
predicting that the public money would be I'M
safe in the hands of the sub treasurers; for be il
remembered that these defaulters were all under
bonds, to keep and disburse the public money
safely, precisely as are the sub treasurers

This was the increase of ten years: four years

Ia JOHN MATTOCKS you have man of
distinguished talents, of experience, and withal,
physical ability to serve you well. He is sound
on the TARIFF and the PUBLIC LAND questions,

doctrines and measures of Van Buren,. Nobody
denies all this; his enemies even must admit it.
Indeed, they have offered but one solitary obec-
ton, viz they say he once Uas a (ederaiiSi. Be.

The unnnimity aud energy of Congress in dis

ton. 50 far as we have obtained a knowledge of
their proceedings, they have acted in concert with
the feelings of their constituents, at least republic
can portion of them, (which the following com
muncntion is an evidence.

publican citizens of the North Eastern District Of

era'iou the state of our foreign affairs
Hon. Azari0s Williams, in the Chair.
Gen. JOHN MATTOCKS, Secretary
Resolved unanimously, That while we feel a
Just resentment at the commercial restrictions of
France, we have beheld with the deepest ndig-
nation the determined continuance and rigid exc
cuiion of the British orders in Council unpnral-
Glled in their Hostility and subversve of the first
principles Of our independence.
Resolved, That while we view with doubtful
apprehension the views Of the British Cabinet in
the late adjustment of the indignty offered to our
Government, in the atroCous attack on the Giles
apcake, we approve of the prompt acceplion Of
the proposal of the British minister: proposals
which emanated from conviction, as we believe,
that the late decisive policy Of administration
and the tone Of public sentiment, imperiously de-
munded some nUnement ut the shrine of Justice.
Resolved, That nothing short of immediate sat
stacton for uju les receioed or active preparation
for and declaration Of WAR, will satisfy the rea-
sonable demands Of our injured, insued, and at
length enragcd people, jealous of their rights te-
nacious Of their Liberty and inmoynby determ.
med to submit no longer to Diplomatic Chicanc-
ry, Insult and Injury.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting
forward copy OF these resolutions TO the Hon.
