The following report and resolutions were offered
by George II. Purser, Esq:
The history Of the Federal Wing party indicates,
in every page, its aristocratc and selfish rympathies.
Anxious to give Wealth a representation more in
0uential and more powerful than Labor, they have
viewed with adherence every extension Of the cleo
tive franchlse-prelerrod the despotc charters OF
royalty, 10 liberty guaranteed under American Con-
sltu,ions, aud protecting capitaland strengthen Go
vernment for the more complete and permanent sub
jugation OF the people.
ln the Convention that framed the Constitutions OF
on, General and State Governments, trace this
Jealousy Of popular power. When II was found im-
possible TO niuse into our institutions principles so
repugnant Federalism assumed form d ifereDt in
deed but no less dangerous and destructive.
The creation of vast National Bank was calcu-
lated to insure TO capital the despotc CONTROL not
only of the commercial and manufacturing Interests
of country but nsdiously reach the halls Of le-
gslation, and effect the surrender of our most che
rished privileges. Indeed, so essentially self h are
the instincts of that party-so ind erent TO the pre-
servation Of our institutions from any corrupt inhu-
ence that when the Investigations of Congress, and
the iDdomitable energy OF Jackson" IN war the
hero and in peace the ssgr"-exposed The corrup-
tions and tendencies OF the United States Bank the
great and honest Wing party abandoned not the god
of their idolalry and even now, when experience
has reiuted the alleged necessity for tue existence of
such Institution II ls still found the
nent measures Of Wing policy
The imposition Of legal prohbitory Tariff is
haed as the protection Uf American lobor-the
shield of national industry.
The burden OF increased taxation, though equally
imposed upon all the main interests OF the country,
vet in fact protects The manufacturing capitals. alone
whose increased profits are not div ded with the
operatives though most of the staple and essential
articles Of consumption are necessarily increased in
price
In every country Of Europe experience has shown
that the monopoly principle eventustes in the dcgrs-
daton and pauperlsm Of the people. In the language
Of SsIss Wright the result in all has been dear
bred and cheap sbor-the prosperity Of capital and
the subsection Of the masses-the triumph Of the
power VI money over the moral and physical power
Of men.
In America-if we persist in the same policy, ana
We become q manufacturing rather than an agricu.
tural people-the aborer will be compelled to pur
sue certain employment aud the foreign market for
our manufacturers will regulate his amount Of com
pepsation wealth will monopolize the franchise as
well industry OF the operative the distinctive fea
lures Of republican government will be obterated
and the New World share in the mental and phys.
cal degradation of the Old
The utter recklessness Of Federal opponents !.
fully illustrated in their attack upon the Constitution
of our country.
To enable them TO carry out their schemes intend
ed TO corrupt the Government and oppress the peo-
pie they would remove the only check upon q vens
corrupt legislature and leave the rights and inte-
rests of the mass at the mercy Of those who give
dignity to wealth that tbey deny to humanity Here
toiore every party asking the outrage. Of the people
order to obtain them, has proiessed the warmes,
devotion To the Constitution; and none thought OF
mutilsng II, until the exercise Of the veto power
had again and again frustrated the attempts Of the
moneyed interest to obtein, by means OF a National
| Bank, an Influence destructive Of all good govern
ment and dangerous to the liberties of the people.
The exercise OF the veto power has always been at
tended with the best results and nowhere - the wis
dom Of those who framed the Constitution so plainly
manifested In the grant Of that power to the Pre.i
dent OF the United States lie IL the representative
the Embodied and will of the whoi, people and
| IS responsible 10 them for his aots-and where IL
not in him, shall exist the check upon basty injur-
Gus, or corrupt legislation
The selhshne.s OF the Federal party is manifested
in their willingness to surrender half Of the Ore
gon territory-to which our title IL clear and nd,s-
putable rather thsn risk their peculiar interests IN
for the maintenance Of the honor of the nation
and the myolablSy Of our soil,
