Resolved, That Of all aristocracy we re-
gard the aristocracy Of ill-gotten wealth as
the most odious and unrelenting; that the
effects Of the present tariff will be, ina few
years. to build up amongst US class Of peo-
pie more regardless Of the rights Of the Ia
borer, more iron hearted, and more t,ran-
meal Than those who s.by the grace Of God
are born booted and spurred, Y TO ride upon
the necks Of the people.

the manufactures which are. now the sub

Resolved, That in the unusual efforts Of
our political opponents, to fix in. the minds
Of the people the impression that the most
Important issue between tie two political
parties arises from their difference Of opin-
ion upon the tariff question: We see re-
newed attempt on their part, to conceal
from the public eye,n the true and more
important questions. involved in the next
Presidential contest, and that we have no
doubt, if successful, the hackneyed Tariff
will become an object Of little consideration,
lis importance being swallowed up in their
zeal for the iavori.e measures Of their great
