do mo-, now doubt, and we never hare
doubted Of this result
Such, however, il appears, il not the
opinion OF Mr. Benton, who looks for
ward, with comp acencg and faulty
TINT make one pity his depsion, to he
year lS45. as the period in which 'slI
departments Of the Federal Government
will become Democraric' 10 other
words, viii become anti federal; will be
come more democratic than the Consli-
tuition, and therefore, nlmica &c tbs true
spirit and genius Of the Fedora Govern
ment; and " an extacy OF hal!ucinaflnn
breaks forth in raplEres at the brilliant
prospect Of the resumption Of the Jack
sonian policyH The time is at hand,
he proclaims 10 his followers, 'ior re.
suming and completing the measures of
Gen Jackson
With what Joy is not this snnunca-
lion calculated TO fil the bosoms of the
Faithful. This glorious revelation Of
the blessings which ore TO follow N the
train Of the triumphant Democracy
mu9t it not cheer the hearts and nerve
The arms Of the associates and followers
Of the Bpnrons, and Buchanans. the Cal
houns, and he Casses, 81 al the alpha
bet Of great men, who are rival candi'
dates for The favor of The People!
Let Us for moment retrace in memo
ry the droclrines and practices which
went 10 make up the Jacksonian policy.
Let US remember
The exjravagan'e oil the public expen
ditUres;
The struggle Of the Executive with
the People 10 retain perpetual control of
the public money which it had already
illegally seized;
The doctrine that the public offices
are tho property Ola party and that
every man is an enemy Of the country
who is not vassa Of the President;
The assumption that the President is
bound 10 obey the Constitution and Laws
only as he chooses TO understand and
expound them;
10 claim of the Executive to origi~
nate as we'll as TO disregard Legislation
The forestaIing Of Legislation by Ex
ecu'ive threats Of the Veto;
The defeating Legislation by sitting
acts Of Congress after they have pass
ed;
The encouragement and cultivation o
an agrarian and anarchal spirit;
The attempt, by new organization
Of the Militia, 10 erect a Standing Army
! Of two hundred thousand men;
1 And train Of other kindred doc,
lrines, all tending, under the pretence
OF a deeply dyed Democracy to concon
irale all power in the Executive hands
and thus to reuoiuiioaize The GOpe' nmen
into an Elective Monarchy
Nor can il be necessary for US at tbi
short distance Of time from the era o
this 'JacksoCan policy to point the al
lenlion ofany reader Of ours 10 its dis
aslrOus effects in
Oeranging the currency;
10 palsying enterprise;
WirherIng industry and
Wasting the resources Of the country
And this is the 'po icy' which Mr
Benton, in tho presumption Of politca
power being within lhe reach OF his par

and co HpIeting As has been said q
