and given UP to undying ambition, the faith and
the feaiy due alone TO living patriotism Call we to
the Legislative halls the clear heads and sound hearts
among u.s. not yet corrupted by the possession,
ducei by the promises Of place and power
Fellow Citizens, you have President who has
never yet denied his allegiance to his country to hon
or and to truth. In HIM you can safely trust. The
enyious and malicious may assail him. Rival fac
tioisfs lately separated wide the heavens and the
earth may come together for the common object OF
his destruction and ngloriousy conspre in the effort
to "head him or die" lniuriated parfisans, dsap-
pointed by his frmness and his devotion to the Con-
stitution may, in revenge for his fidelity, stgmatse
his fame and cause his image TO be burned. But all
this will be in vain As long as these burning efges
shall TO enghten TO him more clearly the path
way of his duty they also attach to him closely
the honest men of all classes and fix him durably In
the affections of his countrymen. But not only have
we in the President servant OF our own, shonest
and capable and faithful to the Constitution" but he
has fortified himself with the counses OF the abest
and purest of the day-men who, for talents and
virtue for public and private worth, would have hon
ored any age and any cline Neither are they mere
partsans. The President, in summoning advisers
around him, has followed the advice, not the "foo-
steps'-and pro6ted by the admonition, not the ex.
ample of great man who went before him and
called to his help, citizens of varied shades of poti-
cal opinion and character. pursuance Of the popu-
lar sentiment expressed IN his own election, he sought
not out partsas but patriotsabe, upright honorable

Such are the men whom Tyler has invited TO his
councils giving surety the country for the integrity
of his purpos and the wisdom OF his actions, as far
as he is inves ed with authority. If your Congress,
fellow cit zens composed of men equally dlsnte-
rested, equally intent upon the public good and the
execution of the trust with which they are charged
by YOU soon would our complaints be silenced-soon
our disiresses NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. disordered currency

happy. But now, while the Executive Government
is laboring its province to subserve the public good
the of the people appointed TO make the laws
and provide for the welfare of the country, are en-
ploye making OF unmaking Presidents (your own
peculiar prvlege,) and striving, by whatever means,
to 'head Captain Tyler for their own especial be-
neft.
We repeat then, REPUBLICAN CITIZENS OF Ono,
we have but remedy left to us That, happily, is
simple in its nature, and easy OF execution. We
must set our faces against the party leaders, who have
led the brink of RUM and fastening us irretrley-
ably into its vortex We must abandon the trading
politicians who far forget what is due to their
country, as to turn from it in its hour of calamity
with heartless indifference, and employ themselves IN
plots and conspracies of individual or party concern
awe the people" must again lead the leaders
rally around that department OF the Government
which has shown itself true to US, and not
exertons until we shall have supplied the Legislative
Halls State and Federal, with patriots instead of
partsans When this is done, we may look for re-
turn of the blessings to which we are now strangers
and not before. Then and not till them will prospe-
rty and repose again peryade country enlivening
and making happy all classes of our countrymen-all
of whom have the right to be thrifty ndhappy-who
ought to be So and who, with the favor OF govern
ment Just and parental in all its parts would be so.
1t only remains for us, fellow-citizens to invite
you, in obedience to the wishes of those whom we
represent to meet your brother republicans IN con-
yention On the 18th day of April next in this city
On that interesting occasion the republican citizens
of Ohio will inquire together for the good OF their
country, and prescribe for themselves, in view OF all
the circumstances by which they may be surrounded
their own course of duty, As we look forward to
the scene which that day will probably unfold, we
feel warranted in the belief, that its transactions
will become memorable in the future history OF our
country, as those in which patriotism was revived
upon the demolition of partyism, and the destructive
tendencies of the period successfully arrested by the
conservative influences of reason, moderation, and
justice.
In conclusion fellow citizens think it appropri
ate TO remark that, from almost every county IN Ono
the evidences have recently reached us, which show
that the sentiments expressed by Us IN this address,
and the objects contemplated by those for whom we
act, extensively and cordially approved by the re-
fectng and intelligent citizens of the State. The in
creasing proofs that the public mind discerns the
OF difficulties and prepared to attack the
root of the evil furnish the most satisfactory assu-
rance that our labors will be crowned with success
We wait for your earnest and Jealous cooperation IN
this work which we have endeavored to convince you
is essential TO individual and aggregate prosperity
