AT the time OF Mr.. Archcrs election TO the Senate

public debt, None of the responsibility oil THIS can be
shifted from the shoulders vi the wing majority IN
Congress TO those of Mr. Tyler. They alone have the
mower TO appropriate money; and he cannot draw one
dollar not even has salary, from the Treasury ex

But for the reasons have gwen, Il is unnecessary
10 enlarge upon this head.
In this Address, we have made brief exposition Of

who approve them, by whatever name heretofore
known 10 cone forward iearlessly disregard the
siackles of party, If SUCH bind them, and cooperate
with u.s. the ONLY party that proposes TO carry them
out
THE Spring elections there viii he chosen, besides
the usual number oil members Of the Assembly, fifteen
members of Congress. Six OF our former members
must be left on. OK the Congress and the remain
inc fifteen Will BE- elected from new and greatly en-
larged districts ia which will probably prevail, to
the extent did IN the old districts, that concIllaory
and harmonious feeling which long personal and po!i
teal association bcses. These circumstances, at The
same time that they increase danger from DIVISIONS,
will make the meat of him greater rho IS most con-
spicuous in avcr;ng them. II, when we have 50 many
great principles stake, and many vital questions
depending upon the coming elections, we iail, because
of our dissensoEs Will deserve The scorn OF every
friend OF his country. To ensure aud our glorious
cause success nothing necessary bu, harmony among
ourselves and II lose II Cor The want Of tins, lear
full will be the responsibility which we will incur. 10
every county and every district, let the s,ronges;
man be brought ont; and lie, the only question asked
be- are his PRIScIPiss OF the true Republican stamp,
and may he be relied upon TO carry them out
The Spring elections over, 1t Will be necessary tor
US 10 organise for the Presidential contest oil lcl1 We
have many aSprants all worthy of station, to the high
honor OF beng candidate; and II is necessary Tor
THE PEOPLE to select one of them to be assigned that
post 1t will be useless for 20 into that contest,
unless we 90 united Defeat will certainly follow d.
visions among ourselves You had az we'll expect
rabble multitude 10 conquer well-dsciplined army,
as to expect divided and distracted party TO encounter
with success that presents an unbrok"n 'front.'
These considerations show the necessity of mode
Of nomination, which viii embody and give effect to the
popular will. If it necessary to Justify IT, We
might do it in the language of the caucus OF 'e07,
whose nomination Madison formally acceped-"irom
the necessity OF the case-trom deep convection OF
the importance of union the Republicans throughout
all parts of the u. S. and as the best mode OF consult
ing and representing the interests and wishes OF all
upon subject interesting 10 the whole people OF the
u States.
The only question is, as TO the best mode For many
wears the Conrressiona! caucus mode prevailed. II
was sanctioned 10y Jefferson, Madison and Monroe IN
accepting its nomination. But in later years It was
found Objectionable and abandoned in favor OF the
National Convention THIS mode has frequently been re-
sorted by every party III the county, and seems 10 be
generally acauesced in the leas; Objectionable. But
how shall il be organized This is the al! important
question We decidedly oil opinion, that that mode
is preferable, whatever II be, which Will most directly
and certainly express The popular choice and we have no
doubt that the district plan, is called is that niode
1t unnecessary for TO 20 further on ti;S SUBJECT
The late State Convention have touched t-but whe-
Their all agree Disagree with its further recon-
mendatons, let f.. the present lay The question
erceP Oar great object is, TO save The State from
the hands of the Phstincs Let us carry the Lngis'
lalurc again--let decided majority of the
members OF Congress. For this purpose, LEI US all
agree not TO dsagreebu to put every shoulder 10 the
wheel-Be it enough fer TO vote ;oE The Republican
who can be elected-and who like lto III. I Hunter,
will pledge himself vote for the nominee of the Ma.
tional Convention, ana should the Election g up to
Congress, will vote out the vote OF has District.
And now, having confidence in the virtue and emf
nent talents Of each o! the distinguished individuals
who proposed TO the Democratic party as their can
didate for the Presidency Of the T. s and believing
that National Convention oil that party, fairly organ
ized will nominate f.! that highest O: all Offices
the Chief Magisiracy OF free people, who IS not N
character cmnentiy fitted Cor Il aud knowing, that
union and harmony are necessary TO ensure triumph
for cherished principles, pledge ourselves To
each other suprnsi with zeal and with whatever la
Tents we possess, that nominee without enqaIring whe
Their he comes from the North the South, the East
or the Wcst.-Witi these principles inscribed upon
your flag and with spirit so into the battle field Of
April and victory will once more perch npon the Re
publican banner. CALM OBSEk' Elk.
