Bm il is not perhaps important 10 in
qaire hOr or opponents have gotten into
possession Of the government They sue
eeeded; that great prodigy The Wing par
liy, i actually in power; Ihey who were
TO regulate exchanges, 70 reform aliases,
10 raise the wages Of labor, and do what
ever else might be Thought desirable and
proper; they who were 10 make money
plenty, and be the poor mans friend, hold
the ensigns ofofIice: what have they done!
Have they redeemed their promises! have
they male good their word! Let the Bit
her denanciaiions &c deceived and disap-
pointed people answer; they have answer
swercd. wherever the polls have been
opened, BY one Of The most decisive and
Overwhelming rebukes that was ever Civ
en- 10 the rulers Of free people.
| Under the preience of supplying the
wants ofthe treasury, the Reformers have
called an extra session Of Congress. and
TO make the revenue still more insufficient
for the purposes Of government, they have
surrendered to the states The animal pro-
eeeds Of the pa5lic domain, and Al the
same time have passed an act 10 bOrror
twelve millions Of dollars and increased
the taxes, to supply The deficiency in the
treasury occasioned by the distribution,
AMI TO meet the expenditure Of the govern
ment. We are happy to acknowledge that
this is one ofthe few measures upon which
our opponents we belie.e generally ven
tured 10 stake. their political fortunes rs
party. But we cannot forget that they
promised, il any deficiency should occar
BY reason Of this bill, il would BE- suppli-
ed by tax on Injuries, such as wines
and silks; we find that new taxes have
been laid not only on Injuries, but on ne
eessaries Giso. anI that tax or 20 per
cent. has been retained On many other ar
ticles Of prime necessity TO every farmer
in the country.
In view Of the fact, thu. there is m sur
plus in the treasury IN dislrihn;e-.iha,
every dollar of Inc public money is re-
quirel for the purposes of government.
/ and that every dollar received by the
states will have To be returned to the irea-
sury by indirect taxation upon the pen
pie, with the additional expense of c1l-
lection and disbursement-in view of
these facts, we say, legislation such a.
this must excite in the minds OF every
man not blinded BY party zeal, the fear
that it was intended for no good purpose.
We have not forgotten that this scheme
of distribution originated with the manu-
featuring interests OF the north, for the
ayowed purpose Of taking from the GO
vermont this important source Of its reve-
nue., in order TO create a necessity for in
creasing the tariff, TO supply its place
protection was their object-and Of course
the higher the duties on Imports, such as
were manufactured at home, the better
for them. We are not thus 10 be bought
up with our own monev--wc are no; so
Ignorant as to be unable To comprehend
that though the states nav receive by this
act the money resulting from the sales of
the public land, We. the people will have
to pay it back in the shape Of taxes on
the articles they consume.
They promised relgenehment and re-
form AMI have already increa cl the ex-
peliitures.
They engraved upon their banners in
glit.ering capitals =. the separation az the
sword and the PURSE" anil have repealed
The only law which produced that separa.

They promised 80 prescribe pro-
scription," and yet in The fare Of the mos,

nIavals made by the Wings, as stated by
the Hon. Lssi Woodbury., Z" haze exceed
