WHO is RIGHT

When ahd reflect upon the different oPin-
ions now expressed by the different members Of The
Democratic party, forced 10 ask the question
WHO Is right Not only do We ask II, but me
people ask lt-and the good Of The country demands,
ald the perpetuIy OF our Democratic principles call
loudly and quickly for answer, la order TO give
A. we have only 10 notice the which the lead
ing Democratic papers have taken, and the course
which they are now pursuing, IN relation TO the dhe-
| rent questions which have been agitated for some
years past and the support that has been given 10
those men who have been the founders and orlgina-
tors Of these questions by these same leading papers
strict and candid notice like tins, and the answer
to the question will rise spontaneously TO the lips Of
every candid man
But few years ago, and when our Government
was in its infancy, we had nothing for our guide but
few Republican principles, laid down TO US by sue IA
men as We. ngtOn, Jefferson, and lew others,
who were the trainers and founders Of That Constu-
ton which has been the pride Of every American TO
| protect against all odds. Those principles were
formed upon the innate feelings OF freedom, winch
only in the possession OF those who were called
upon by Providence to direct tho infant desnes of
this glorious nation. They were given 10 us freely
and contdcnlially, that we might sill them ana be
guided by that portion of them which was found by
an impartial and candid Investigation 10 be IN accord
auce with those that had been tried and proved by
| the deur-bought exp rence Of those who gave them
! TO US.
| Among The many experiments that making
when these men had the ,lilance Of our destinies,
1
question many valuable principles were given US by
these before they lc,t heir per ence had
taught them - That monopolies were dangerous TO
free institutions" They even dared 10 express heir
opinions before the fact fully tested, that
National Bank under any form Yves a monopoly"
They left II, however, for coming time and expert
ence to tell and that time aud experience has told
every man that that Institution dangerously"
and also a corrupt monopoly - and every lrcc-
who has held The welfare ofhis country, and ITS
free Institutions in view has discarded II a. CHROME
Gus Among the many papers that thought II an
obsolete iiea,' was the Washington Globe, the
Richmond Enquirer, the Albany Argus, and q host
OF other papers, which were then the guide OF the
Democracy, and pretend TO be SO still Than, who
ever suppo'te those principles had full and i'm
partial hearing through the columns # those papers
Then, could every Democrat receive at their hand,
full and strict justice. Then every individual, how
ever obscure o. humb e, provided he friend 10
his country, and supported its institutions, had the
right hand OF fellowship extended 10 him by these
papers
Among those individuals who then had their sup.
port, and who, IN the private and delightful bowers
Of ms own State nculcaing with graspng in
ieresl the principle of his foreathers and weaving
for himself wreaths of future glory, the person
who now holds the standard OF the Republican ban
at the head Of the nation. When we say that lac
then had the support Of these papers say nothing
but what has been fully proven by the late articles
in the MadISonian, under the head Of the Demo
crazy Of John Tyler"
but now now changed the scene. Nor, eiicT
from the cnrlabe distinction TO which he has arisen
aud which his distinguished merits truly deserve, or
YrOm some other reason, yet Xplained, he re-
| ceves their magn and unjust viiupcraiions lie IS
now censured Tor that same integrity and cpnsSten-
cy which these valuable papers then Upheld, aud
| which was the pride of the Democracy Of that day
| and VIII ch is the pride OF the Democracy Of tins
merely because they think he Is conflicting with their
! private interests.
| He has pursued an and true course they
have deserted that cour. e-now irho IS right Until
| they can prove his inconsistency and Justify their
own, We are, and the people are bound 10 answer
! JOHN TYLER is right
