None! On the coG'rarg there is strong
evidence FURNISHED By the proceedings
at Columbus during The last winter, thai
there IS settI"d design among those
who weld d portion Of the political pow,
er Of the S ate, to destroy ali banks Of
circu'nlion, and thereby su4mcnl the
present unparalleled distress of the
community. ImpeiIed h7 considerations
that lOrce themselves upon every man
that minglrs win the mass, the West
Union Resolutions were passed. They
reiterated our former Democratic doc.
%trlues; drpIore the violence ot party
spirit, which makes men blind 20 their
best interests; rcpuIlate the exclusive

man than many; md by occasionally
complimonting others, to separate them
& me. Vain thought; the men associat'
ed with me are 'gentIemen! They are
actuated by principles with which you
and your coadjulors are not accustomed
to %grapple. They do not desert friends
IN a lime wen oc apparent danger; ond
they will treat all attempts 10 seduce
them BY the hope Of favor or promotion,
from an honorable connection, deIjbcr
