tons, and have been constantly appealing TO
like decisions in elections TO justify previous
as well az subsequent abuses and nsurpatlons
and measures of Jackson's and Van Burcns
administrations. Yet in the face OF all these
professions they have resorted TO every de-
vice that their ingenuity could invent, to OPP
pose and thwart the whig congress IN the
passage of these measures, Indispensable to
the prosperity of the country, -Measnres,
which, upon their own construction OF cleo
tons, a thousand times repeated--and over
whelming majority of the states and of the
people had decided i'll favor of, in the cleo
ton of 1910
Still the wing members of congress in the
face of all this factions aud unprinciplcd
opposition of the Locos and the corporal
guard" aud under the most discouraging
circumstances in respect to the Executive,
true, to the pledges Of the wing party in the
congress of iSI0--and in obedience to the
will of the people, have, with tirnness,
zeal, ability and patriotism never surpassed,
maintained and passed through both houses
of congress, two bills providing sound
currency for the people and fiscal agent
for the Government, two Tariff bills provid-
ing an adequate revenue for the government
and the best measures of protection to the
wool and other productions of our farms and
also to the various manufacturers OF the
country, that it was possible to obtain, in
the face of the powerful opposition above re-
ferred to. The protection on woods which
cost over cents the ID. was from 40 TO 81
per cent aud on some fine woods of a less
cost it is estimated to be from 10 to 100 per
cent.
But the Acting President has seen fit TO
arrest all these bills BY the exercise Of that
kingly prerogative-the Executive Veto, |
and thus the hopes of suffering people, |
are blasted by the tyrannical acts Of the ac-
cidental Executive. Had it been the pleas
ure of Mr. Tyler TO have approved the Fis-
cal corporation bill and the permanent Ia
riff bill, the dropping spirits of the peo-
pie would have revived instanter-joy and
gadness would have taken the place of
doubt and dependency, business would re-
vive and the country would eventually recov-
err good measure of prosperity. As IT is |
now, a general gloom pervades the whole
country.
In consequence of tic treachery Of John |
Tyler, the wings have been unable to estab-
fish the change Of measures to which they
were pledged by the election of 1910, but
having done every thing in their power to |
redeem their pledges in good faith candid
public will exonerate them from all blame
and hold the accidental author and his
Loco coad tutors these accumulated wrongs
to a strict account.
BY these unwarrantable and treacherous
acts, John Tyler has assumed fearful re-
sponsibilty-may he repent Of his evil deeds
and receive that forgiveness from above,
which he can never hope for, from his in /
jnred country. Thus il is, that a conspira-
cy between Mr.. John Tyler and the "corpo-
RAILS guard Of the one part, and the Locofo-
CO members of Congress of the other part,
has prevented the wings from establishing
measures for the relief of the country-and /
we are consequently now suffering and ago. !
nizing under that corrupt system of meas
ures and experiments, imposed upon us by
the Jackson and Van Buren, Dynasty in !
spite of the wing majority in Congress-in
spite of the will of the people and in spite /
of lamentations here and elsewhere" Lo- /
coloco measures are therefore still in opera /
ton. They are grinding the great debtor !
class of community TO powder. Most Of
the middling business and laboring classes
are suffering intensely. This is the cond-
ton Of the many. But the few--the Law
yer, the Sheriff, the usurer, the rich money |
lender will reap an immense harvest from
the embarrassments and msfortunes, en-
tailed upon the industrial classes by Locofo-
CO misrulc.
From the foregoing plain and incontrover-
tible statements OF facts, we draw the follow
ing conclusions.
/. That the wings having failed IN es-
tablish the measures above referred to, in |
consequence ofProvidcntial and other causes
entirely beyond their control the charges of
violated faith and violated pledges so literally
bestowed upon them in this behalf by their
political opponents, are ungenerous, false
and unfounded.
2. That the present deplorable condition
Of the country, furnishes the most concIu-
sive evidence that the predictions and war
nings ofthe wings against the injurious and
ruinous effects of the currency, financial
and revenue measures of the two last adj
ministrations, were not the idle dreams Of
unprincipled, oliice-seeking, panic makers,
(as our opponents pretendcd) but the words
of truth and soberness.
3. That until a change Of measures in
these respects can be effected agrceably to
the views and wishes of the wings of lS40,
there is no reason to hope for better or more
prosperous times
Our political opponents, aware of the dis
astrous consequences of their own mistaken
policy, shrink from the task of defending
their own measures, and consequently twist
and turn and assume every shape and hue, to
shield themselves from the responsibility
One part of their tactics consists in raising
