tration was fraudulent in its inception, vaclating in
its progress and proAigate and demoralzing in its
present aspects 1t is therefore, due to the purity Of
our faith and principles to disclaim in the name OF
that great and patriotic party, all concern for nte-

This resolution may, we think, be denomina-
ted Infamous in its terms, somewhat infamous
in the object it would accomplish, and particu-
larly exhibiting an Infamous and Disgusting sell
fshness, tyranny, and stupidity on the part of
the men concerned in lis connection. We
and contrvers Of the resolution in question,
have been guilty of a pusillanimous act, in
knowingly uuering such malicious untruth.
1t is asserted that the Administration was
"fraudulent in its Inception" This must be
considered deliberate attack-n peurile, it is
true, but nevertheless harsh and offensive Ian
guage-on large majority of the American
People. II as absolutely a 1rdnton and riru-
lent attack on erery man rho uoted for Har-
rison and Tyler IN 1910. What will the Har-
rison and Tyler Democrats say TO it? What
will they say to the authors and endorsers of
such vile calumny? What response have
you for this insult, Harrsonian Republicans?
You must slill remember your beloved chief, the
hero of the Thames, whose aged form indicated
the hard service he had performed for his coun-
try and whose hoary locks descended to the
grave covered with the honors with which your
affections had crowned them-is his memory to
be thus overwhelmed with oboquy, thus mock
true Republicans, who voted for Harrison and
Tyler, TO give proper answer to these con-
femptible Albany revilers. Old Jacksonians

could hardly be for striking down the Bank mon
ster twice in succession, even when the head Of
the Administration was not sustained and
supported by his then Cabinet; nor for blocking
the Distribution game by another veto nor for
occupying position on the tariff question, from
which his enemies couId moi iosfle him, nd
which was only lost by some of the Albany
pursts capitulating to the enemy, and yielding
the citadel to the Federalists. Then how is it va

the Florida war speculation For settling the
British Boundary question For settling the
Mexican claims For being the first bold
enough to take the responsibility on the Oregon
question Certainly these things were not re
fiected on by the Albany gentlemen. 1t must
have been late at night, with the odors of the
rotten caucus system pervading their persons
that they had the impudence, the stimulated
stupidity, TO adopt such resolution.
"Protiigate and demorazing in its present
aspects" OF course, these Albany gentle
men did not deem it necessary to prove the
truth of what they asserted, by any examples.
They have the efironlery to go before the People,
confident that with such bsderdash they can
brave it like rufiians, and successfully brawl
down public opinion. If they had gone to the
State Department, the Treasury, the War Of
fee, the Navy Department, and The Post Office
Department, they would have ascertaned that
the Administration harbored no defaulters-and
that no misnanagement of the internal police
of the Executive Departments and impurty of
exterior Administration, are tolerated under

This matter may be pressed too far bv The
Albany men. We may make some develone-
