they are pleased TO call viola ted whig PROMISES
The writer Of the pamphlet seems to have caught
the con,agion for this kind Of political argument,
as he has infused goodly portion OF 1t into bis
political tex, book. They tell the people that not
single promise made by the wings, when they /
came into power in ls41, has been performed,
and sill they pretend to hold tho whig party re-
sponsible for The condition of The country. Is this
fair: Is it candid? If the wings have carried t
on, none Of their msase-es, and have per:e.fJsa {
noee Of their promises, as they tell the people,
then most assuredly the nation has been running
down under the measures and policy of the ad-
ministration Of Mr. Van Buren,, and the wings are
in no o,her~ise responsible than that they did not
ares. the deeterious policy Of that democratic
administration. If their position be true, and
! they believe in their own measures, they ough,
TO ioce that tho wings had fulfilled none Of their
| promises and they should hold themselves re-
spon sble for the present condition Of the country

their measures as they hoped TO do, does i, lie in

President Tyler in opposing our policy to upbraid
US with our failure and then hold responsbe'

death; that the administration Of the General
Government longer in accordance with
the views Of the whig party; that President Ty-

their measures, and by the exercise of tho veto.

two thirds to carry bill over his veto. How
then can the wings be held responsible? Give US
a wh!g Congress and good whg for Prosden,

for the success Of measures and the prosperi.
