But let our democratic public servants, as
we have no doubt they will, do their duty,

The people want but little egislation-the
less the better for their interest and prosperity
Too much is what temporarily blasted the
prospects of the whole country. The wings
have been constantly legislaling or striving to
legslate for the few, while tie democrats as
ardently contended for measures for the benefit
of the tchole. Thus has grown up the strife of
opposing legislation. The money power of
the country has been waxing great with such
rapidity that 1t has required the most vigorous
efforts Of the Democracy TO prevent It's con-
trolling the lee station of the country. Their
constant and persevering exertions have from
time TO time decaptated the monster but
hydralike. so soon as it lost one head up pop
ped another in new place. They have several
times been cut off, but the wound never scared
with hot iron: the next time this will proba-
bly, be done.
This has given the wings occasion to ex-
claim, ''the democrats are for pulling down
every thing, and building up nothing" True,
they will pull down every monopoly, and every
edfice of Wing construction, which tends TO
pamper the wealthy and Cypress the poor; that
favors one class TO the exclusion of all others.
And as to building mp, they have abundant
confidence in the ability of the people to build
for themselves every useful institution, without
the aid of Congress or State Legislatures.
