with the preservation Of the Union and of liberty.
To its principles have continued to cling with

Jefferson into power-which rests upon the feJe.

Of authority not warranted by the Constitution
which proclams the invodbilty of law, and the
strict observance Of public faith. To this party
do belong not TO that non.descript, patchwork,
mosaic party, which meets in conventions, and
calls itself the republican party. Not to that par

from the Presidential orb-whch is one thing TO-

calling conventions, organizing committees, and
seeking by all manner Of means, at this early day,
to commit the people. But will tell them, Mr.
President, in the language Of holy writ, that
'the race is not 10 the swift" They are too
much in advance Of that question. The people
will demand some short breathing time, and when
the proper time arrives for them to act, trust, sir,
that they will look only to high considerations in
selecting an agent to fill the highest Office in the

There was remarkable consistency in
Mr.. Tylers course in Congress, indicating

and political-lHadisonian.
