Shall the party, therefore, yielding to sen
limentS of despair, abandon IT'S duty, ana
submit TO defeat and disgrace! Far from
suffering such dishonorable consequences,
the very disappointment which II hos I'M
fortunately experienced should serve only
TO redouble its eyertlons, and TO inspire IL
with fresh courage TO perscvefe WIN
spirit uusubdued and resolution unshaken,
until the prosperity of the country is fully
re-eslablished, and lis liberties firmly Sc
cured against all danger from the abuses,
cncroachments, or usurpatiun OF the EXec"
uiiye department of the Government.
At the head Of The duties which remain
for the Wings to perform towards their

nently above all others
Frs. A reduction of the Executive
power, by further limitation Of the Veto,

Rallying under that banner, let us appea

questions and especially lot them, within

Animated by these principles, and guid
