WHIG PROMISES and WHIG FAILURES
In the extraordinary campaign of 1910, which
Terminated in the defeat of that distinguished pa
triot Martin Van Buren, the Federal Wings pro
missed every thing which to them the country
seemed to require To the friends of National
Bank they promised National Bank to the in
ldebted class Bankrupt Law; to the North a
Protective Tariff; to the gambling States an as
sumption of their liabilities to the friends Of sa
very stern course towards the Abolitionistsj and
to the Aboonsts the destruction of slavery itself
Never, since the days of the French revolution;
was such a party, made up of such materials,
drawn together Here was the mason, and there
the anti-rnason here the abolonist, and there the
large STAKEHOLDER; here the tariff man, and there
the antitarif man. here the friend of State inter-
position and there the professed consoldatioEist
here the infexble creditor, and there the pleading
bankrupt; here the city exquisite, and there the
plain farmer-an arrayed under the same banner,
and looking to the same political revolution for
the accomplishment of thousand different objects
And this host of jarring and discordant interests
how was it led on2 By pretended devotion to
log-cabin men-by hard-cider e2citernent-by ser
vile adulation-by gourds and coon-skins-
triumphul professions and insulting banners-by
disgusting mummery and revolutionary songs
and by all the appliances and efforts which the
most dangerous and vaulting ambition could sug-
gest. And what was the result2 The public
mind was debauched, but the Federal Wings sue
ceeded. And now let US see what they have done
Sub-Treasurys and they have done it. And what
good has come of this? Why we have Sub
Treasury still, but it is Sub Treasury aoithout
lGao. They passed high tariff law. This was
for the North-the curse of it for the South and
West They enacted Distribution Law, with
an exhausted treasury. They passed Bankrupt
Law; and they tried to pass a Bank bill, but
failed. Here is what they have done and attempt
ed to do
But, say they, we have failed you must try
US again. We beg their PARDON tried the
elder and the younger Adams eight years too
long But how have these Federal Wings failed !?
They elected their President their Vice President,
and majority of Congress. Our President, they
reply, was cut off. Where, then was the Vice
President2 He vetoed the Bank bills Well,
where was the majority in Congress- The one
nan power was too strong for it. Who put that
'ne-man power in the Constitution The sages
If the revolution. And who put John Tyler in
,ower? We-poor, unfortunate fellows, as we
did il This, then, is the reason why II
hey wish to abolish the Veto power-t stood in
he way Of their panacea for all ills, National
Sank. But where is their Bankrupt Law2 1t +
vas so odious that they were forced to repeal it.
Where is their high tariff law2 1t is not half so
opular as they thought it would be. Where are
IL their boasted measures2 Fifty fathoms below
le surface of the sea of political existence, and the
arty will soon follow them. Who, under all
lese circumstances, can support the Whig party T
ny longer2 Who can follow Henry Clay in -
is assaults upon the Constitution? What true
lend of the South support his odious tariff :,
w2 The doom of the modern Whig party is
ritten they have invoked it upon their own =
sads; and over the wrecks Of their violated pro-
ises-over their own polluted affairs, around J..
hich they have so often sung revolutionary =,
ngs-over the ruined hopes of Henry Clay they rs

But call upon every true hearted Whig TO do his tn
lole duty faithfully and leave the consequences to
