ministration; thus throwing back into
the hands Of the President, the entire
control Of the finances of the govern,
ment; nay they have gone farther, having
thrown into circulation a batch of tn,
evidences of debt of the government
they have legalised and made them The
circulating medium OF the country, thu,
establishing a principle and precedent
more dangerous than war, famine or pes,
thence.
They have violated and trodden under
their sacriligiouS feet, the sacred consti
tuition Of our country, by the enactment
of ;hs ,a@nous Bankrupt law, by their
odious Tariff laws, which tax one portion
of the Union heavily, for the benefit OF
another, and but for 4 strange and I'M
looked for disagreement among them
selves, would have brought upon the
country the disastrous and r~uinous con-
sequences eve attendant upon the cor
rupt and fraudulent Vaccinations Of 4
monster Bank, in the character of Mr..
Clay's Fiscal .lgent; i'll their distribu-
ton law, the legitimate and ultimate re-
suit Of which was, TO take from the la
boring classes their hard earnings, and
put them into the pockets OF bankers
and stockholders; thus carrying out the
suggestion Of Henry Clay ''let the gov
eminent take care Of the rich, and they
win take care Of the poor and at the
same time rapidly producing what, the
Wings call a national blessing, a nation
al debt.
And, whereas, in Missouri our OppO-
ncnts are particularly alive, to the old
whig adage, divide ct impera,' and
are moving heaven and earth, to bring
about division, iIl-tecllngs and confusion,
in the democratic parry, in our truly ia
vOrcd and highly prosperous State,
by rallying around and encouraging
those disorgaTizers, the secederS from
our ranks, who have become tools in the
hands of our mere enemies, and who
are at this tine, perambulating the State
in the character of independent candid
ates, endeavouringto inluse their poison
Gus and anti-democratic doctrines into
the masses Of the country, under the
Pla'ible but hyPocritical garb Of democ-
racy.

Boy the sovereign ignorant people; thus
cvincIng their hearty concurrence in
the doctrine Of their great prototype and
father OF their party, old John Adams,
that the people are incapable of self-gov-
crnmeni. Therefore be it
Rcsolrei, That We viii bring into re-
QUESTION all honorable means to hurl
power cur opponents, who have by
their ~indornitable opposition to the chick

drcd thousand men, to that forty million
debt, left by Martin Van Buren,, aud by
quoted whig argument, that there is
something wrong, there must be a change;
have gotten possession OF the high places
Of the fedora government.
Rcsoirei, That whilst the present poll
cy of the government continues, in re-
ference TO the collection OF revenue, we
are in favor Of 4 tariff looking strictly TO
revenue, we are in favor of the hide
pendent Treasury, so recklessly and in
considerably repealed by the wings
after they came into power; we
are in favor of that currency alone
is recognised by the constitution
of the country; we are in favor of the
of the navigation of cur
rivers, by the general govern
ment; we are i'll favor Of retrenohing
and cutting down the expenditures Of
he government as far as is consistent
with a just political economy; we are
favor of the doctrine that it is the du-
y Of the representative TO obey the in
structions Of his constituency; we are
opposed to the Federal Gull Traps, Il
National Bank, the Black Tariff Of 40,
he distribution Of the nett proceeds of
he sales of the public lands, to the as
sumption OF the State debts by the gen.
eral government, in any shape or form
whatever, ard to the restriction Of the
'eto power.
Resoired, That the great leading mea-
of the wing party, are addressed
o the cupidity and money loving pro-
,ensities of the people, and are intend
ID TO sedpce them into the support Of
heir principles.
Rsso!rcd, That we hereby pledge our
to support the Nominees Of the
National, State and county Conventions,
