FEDERAL MEASURES.
Names are all powerful in poliiicaI
contests. Well do the leading modern
democrats know he force and truth Of
this remark, hence they not only hold
on TO the respectable name Of democrat,
but with one voice they stamp their OPP
pOnents with the name Of federalism, and
their measures are federal measures.
THEY abandon and adopt measures them
selves at pleasure-Rl one time for
national bank, OF another against it; at
one time for the pet bank system, ct
another against II; al one time Tor the
issues OF State and local banks, at an
other against all bank paper; at one time
for Treasury notes, al another for spe'
Gle; at one time for distribution, at an
other against it; and still they are demo
Gratis, and each measure. while they sap
port 1t, as democratic. Bu. the momen,
they abandon it for some new expedient,
it becomes a UtIs federal measure, and all
who support it tederaIist8.
"WHIG POLICY"
The general policy of the Wings of
Indiana as 10 national measures is TO
protect, by Tariff, American industry,
thereby stimulating and rewarding the
manufacturer and mechanic, and giving
to the farmer sure and safe home mar
ket for at least portion Of the surplus
products of his farm, leaving him to
compete for the balance with the pro.
duce Of other countries in foreign mar
kets.
To supply the national treasury with
money sufficient for an economical ad-
m'nlstraiIon Of the government from
imposls.
To foster our commerce by con6ning
the trade as much as possible to our
own vessels, and making up for any par.
liaI loss OF the foreign, by the domestic
trade
To furnish to all classes Of industry
sound and uniform circulating medium
of specie, and paper money con nverlb|e
into specie al the will OF the holder;
emitted by national hank under The
supervision Of the representatives. OF The
people, aud acting atthe same time with
out charge, as the fiscal agent of the
, government in The receipt and dlsburse'
ment Of the revenues; as the bank Of The
United States did for forty years, while
it remained a national institution, with,
out the loss Of dollar.
; To aid the States and people, through
r the public lands, 10 paying their debts,
and especially their taxes, and by that
, means to bring back TO the west a por'
tion, at least, Of The money that is year

the land Offices
! All these doctrines are denounced by
the leaders of modem democracy as
! rank federal measures
