Tying on an ignomlnous and dsgrac elul

did us served TO carry us through the war
OF the Rcvolution-lhe man whose admin.
istralon is so notorious FOR its delalca-
tions that one Of the two things must be
acknowledged Of him, either that he
knowingly appointed to office knaves d
thieves, or that he is so poor a Judge Of
character as TO be an unsafe dispenser of
public patronagc-the man who proles
ses 10 be democrat, recommended
standing army and aSublreasury, both of
those measures monarchical in their lea-
lures and despotic in all their tendencies
the man who has no talent but that of
intrigue, no character but that of a polit-
lea juggler aud no fixed principles at all
the man who failed fre-e ton when
supported by the lavish use oil the public
purse and patronage, and aided by the l
butloonery Of the Boston Post, the brutal
ity Of the Globe, the harlequinsm of the
Richmond Enquirer, the artu! lodgings
of the Albany Argus, the impudent false
hoods of Amos Kendall, and the piety of
Ben Buter-the man who if re-nomina-
ted for the Presidency will not be the
candidate for his own party even, but the ,
candidate Of packed caucases and self
constituted conventions-this man, such
a man; Martin Van Buren,, the half of
whose sins have not been enumerated,
ought not 10 be re elected President of the 7
United States. c
Resolved That we admire the splendid v
talents of John G.. Calhoun and esteem y
him for his private worth and purity of
character, but that his sectional prejudi-
ces
(which have narrowed to party what
was meant for mankind" his unpardona-
BILE and unrepented of hercsy OF nulif-
cation, and his want of nationality in feel /,
ing and action as public man, disquali- !
fly him for the chief magistracy of this
great republic. >
Resolved, That when we reflect that I
there was Judas among the Apostles, :
and Benedict Arnold among the Wings
Of the Revolution, we shall cease to won !
der that there was John Tyler among
the Wings of l840-that the kiss of Ju- \
das and The tears Of Tyler were alike :
ireachcrous, but here the parallel ends, =
for Judas repentcd of his treason, and :
hanged himself-that like Arnold, Tyler |
has deserted TO the camp of the Tories, .
who, though profttng by his treason, dis
pise the traitor; and that like both his .
great prototypes, his reward will be the !
deserved contempt and just execraton Of y
all great and good men. :
That our first choice, last, and only
choice as candidate for the next Presi-
lency, is HENRY CLAY, oil Kentucky, {
who began his political life by opposing Il
the alien and sedition laws; who support Z
cd the war policy Of Madison's admins d
tralion from the commencement to the d
close Of our struggle with Great Britain; q
md whose services in the Legislature \
we're equal in importance and usefulness, -"
f not in glory, to those of Jackson and 8
harrison in the field-who by his early,
jealous and continued advocacy of the y
policy of protecting American industry, *
has justly won himself the appellation Of
Father OF the American System-who, on Z.
.wo occasions when the country has been ~
from one end to the other and II.
he Union in danger of being rent asun- n
Ter. by his wise and conciiatory mea-
lures, has Gained the storm and restored
eace, and thereby earned the title Of the
treat Pacticator-who, though at first in
pposed to National Bank, after becom gi
ng convinced by sad experience, that ii in
las the only adequate means oil managing sy
ne finances of the country and afiordng
sound currency of equal value in all ga
arts Of the Union, has ever since been til
S firm, CONSTANT and unwavering advo- pl
lte--has never shrunk from a bold and 10
ank advocacy OF his opinions on every tn
Inject on which he was called to speak, in
I'd whose language. unlike that of the co
lgo of Lindenwald, is always the clear
lrror Of his thought--who is not, and he
