Is his bankrupt act. violating the obligation
Of contracts, stripping one man of lis proper
ty, to give it to another, who had betrayed his
confdence-thus extinguishing the very idea
of justice in the popular mind, and making
government itself the pander to every species
of iniquity. perjury, and fraud-hkely to pro-
mote his SUGGEST In word, what is there
in all Mr. Cly's principles and measures de.
yeloped in long course of ertful manage
ment, which has at every step fallen under
the ban OF the people, to recommend him to
q station which will enable him to bring up
on their devoted heads visitation of all his
accursed measures at oncef There is not one
great feature in his policy that is not stamped
indelbly with aristocracy War upon the
| many for the benefit of the few, extortion
| from the poor for the advantage of the rich,
| Cypress on of the weak to i've power to the
strong, are the most striking characteristics
/ of Mr. CLAWS policy He looks TO the pow
erfu. the rich, the ertful associates of the
non-producing classes with his interests, to
overwhelm, by concerted efforts, the great
masses of the country, and give him the pow
| er to make them spoil. Seduction, delusion,
persuasion, mixed with overbearing authority,
will all be employed to make those of our
culntrymen who look only to government for
protection. consign it to the hands OF a man
who will make it what government has al
ways been elsewhere--the means of the sub
I ugation of the honest multitude to the woke
! of the artful and interested few. We do not
| believe that the independent and intelligent
spirit of this country is yet prepared for such
Il change. And SO believing, we look to the
result of the November election as another
great triumph of the cause Of democracy in
! in this country. To promote this result, we
revive the publication of our cheap periodi
cal paper. And to increase its effic lcv, we
; propose To publish it twice instead of once
week, at the same price as formerly. We
propose, too, to add to its strength by indu-
cling the ablest and wisest, and best men of
our country to contribute to its columns -
Our whole heart and mind, from the first hour
of its appearance, shall be devoted to give it
! interest and usefulness; and, with Gods bless
! ing. we trust it viii render some service to
our country.
| The publication will commence with the
proceedings and address of the baltimore
I democratic convention. 1t will embrace all
! the important discussions during the canvass
and concludge by summing up its results, Civ
ing the votes for the presidential candidates
| in every State in the Union. 1t will, in one
word, be brief history of the eventful.perod
| it embraces; and, as it will have an index for
easy reference, will make volume worthy
I Of preservation.
