ADDRESS
Fellow CITIZENS In presenting to you the NAM
of John TYLER for the Office of President Of The Uni
led States, deem it important briefly TO review
the events which have marked the Administrator q
the General Government since his elevation to tn
Presidency.
Properly to estimate the consistency, integrity, AM
; sound principles of Mr. Tyler, 1t must he borne il
mind that his whole political career has been ch
terlzed by steadiast adherence to the principles
, genuine RepubIicanism.
As the kepr sentative Of his native county in tn
councils Of Virginia, Governor of that ancien
, commonwealth, and as a member OF the House o
Representatives and of the Senate Of the Umte'
States, he was the chosen champion Of the Democrat
: ic party OF that patriotic State, and most worthi
did he defend the principles Of the Fathers of tn
Republic.
His opposition to the establishment Of o Bank o
the United States, his consistent advocacy Of tn
doctrine OF strictly constituting the Constitution,
hi, m stand in defence of the rights of the States
were neither unknown nor misconce we'd by the grea
political parties which divided the people of tn
Union
A party organized under the banner Of retrench
, ment and reform, and protesting desire to brini
