like the abodaiuabIe heresy just mentioned,
oyerihfoWs the old established nsages Of.
Fof the land which were never departed from
before. The administration party calls itself
Jetfersonian IN principle, yet on this all im-
portant subject, BY strict party vote IN the
United States Senate, IN i solenaen resoln-
lion, il voted down, denied and repudiaied
the doct inc, in the express language, word
for. word, Of Thomas JeffeIson, which he
used in instructions TO government officers
in this very particular.
Sd. The present administration denies
the right Of the States 10 send their proper
delegation 10 Congress in strict conformity
with the constitution and all the laws Of
| the land. And then openly sanctions de.
csion Of contested election without exam
| ming the testimony or breaking seal which
encloses it And this too, ID direct oppo-
siiion 10 q resolution Of the same House Of
Congress made the day before. And farther,
that when these outrages were committed,
the persons claiming the disputed seats were,
By leave Of the House. in distant part Of
the country taking further testimony in the
very easel More conclusive evidence OF
alter disregard of the Constitution and Laws
could not be furnished. The supremacy Of
the law is prosiituted for the success ofpartY.
Nth The present ADMINISTRATION is waste-
fully extragigant beyond all former pTece-
dent; having spent already twenty millions
of dollars over and above all the acTur:ng
INCOME Of the government in that lime
The extinguisbment of large balance on
hand four years ago and all the receip's
since, and the making Of a government debt
of upwards Of FIVE millions Of dollars which
I've now owe, showing conclnsively that cor
Eruption and incapaciiy are the most promi-
Inent features OF this financial admlnlsHa-
tiun.
5th. The style Of the Presidents living
lis revolving TO republican feelings. His es-
Establishment is fitted up and supported, at
the expense of the yeomanary and working
men Of this country, in richness and splen-
donr not inferior 10 the kings palaces Of
Europe. Thus laying the foundation for an
arristocracy as poisons to democratic usages
and feelings as the upas Of The East 10 the
health of those who sojourn under its
branches.
9th. By the Outrage upon State Rights
and the Constitution of the country, before
alluded to, the party have BY law, placed In
hands Of the Executive, the entire control
of all the revenues of the country, which
leaves little or nothing else than the moral
integrity and proof against temptation Of
the man filling the Presidential chair, as a
guarantee against usnTpations which must
prove destructive to liberty.

President recommends the raising. by enlists

9Th. The President lays down and acts
out doctrine revolving 10 freemen, espe
chilly those of the South. He contends.
both BY argument and official action, that
white men should submit to be tried for
offences upon the testimony Of negroes.
