most heartily The Republicans rapidly
coming up the rescue, the country will be safely
carried through her difficulties, and restored to her
ormer purify and prosperity. The country expects
every to do his duty No true Republican will
be found skulkng in this time of trial and difficulty
As thick darkness has, heretofore brooded the
land. Our patriot fathers did not then, fold their
arms in inglo1ious apathy or shrink from responsible
ty, but found where duty called them; in the
current of Federalism. The Republican descendants
of Republican fathers will not now prove Iecreant
but emuating The example Of the patriots of '9S and
1900 will put forth united effort in behalf of their
liberties purchased for them by the tolls, suferings
and blood of the Revolution

Whereas The Constitution of the United States
confers upon Congress all necessary Legislative power
to provide for the security and welfare OF the nation

Whereas The country has looked in vain TO Con-

increase the Duties but at the time to borrow

of the people throughout the land He again solemn
ly and anxousy calls upon Congress to preserve the
credit of the Government assuring them that in the
same proportion in which confidence is diminished in
the Government, general dstrust public and private,
will prevail. He urges the passage of the Loan bill
the provision of permanent revenue adeqate to the
wants of the Government-an increase OF some du-
Ties above the rate of twenty per cent.-the SUS-
PENSION of the Distribution Land Law-the pledge
of the public lands for the payment of the deb-,he
appropriation of the proceeds OF the lands TO the pur-
chase of the stock in it should fall below par In
the market These its distinct recommendations,
and, as the Message adds, the Executive can do no
more. He must here leave the matter to Congress,
and let them settle it with their constituents.
Many speeches are made in Congress about the
causes of the present distress. But the principal
cause is these same perpetual speeches themselves
If Congress had acted at once three months ago, on
these Subjects the Government would not have been
dshonored Treasury notes would not have fallen
four OF five cents below par-disrust and dlsmay
would not have oyerspread the country.

Those acts were passed, in hot haste, to
accomplish the election of particular individual to
the Presidency but when the olect was at
tempted by tho passage of National Bank bill, John
Tyler dared elevate himself above the corrupt at
mosphere by which he surrounded and place his
peto on the sealing act of corruption.
Thanks, however, to the cooling and invigorating
influences of time and meditation it is found that
we must be just before generous, and Pres-
dent Tyler recon. nends an ARREST ofthe operation
of the distribution act.
