the odious principle of consolidation as advocated
by the old Federal Party. They have repudiated
the great principle Of protection commended 10! oy
Washington, Jefferson, and the fathers Of the he
public, Is made manifest BY Law Of the first
Congress in l7S9, the preamble 10 which recltes
that "wherea. 1t is necessary for the support o.
the government. for the discharge Of the debts OF
the United States and the encouragement ana
Drotection Of manufactures, that duttes be lad
on goods, wares and merchandise IMPORTED "
This law, be it remembered, was sustained By
The members of the Convention then in Cone ress
1ho had met at Philadelphia in May 1857 10
torm. and who there formed, the Constitution
shich vas adopted by su!hcientnumbero OF States
to givcit political existence the following year.
But We are told by the tyros Of the day that
Washington, who s'gned this law, and those
vho framed the Constitution, in giving their as,
cent 70 il, violated their oaths, which required
hem To support the Constitution, IN this the very
utset Of then Legislative life.
They have forsaken the doctrines oil the oio
Republican party, which, in l809 and onwaros'
under the Embargo and the War which followed,
denounced az rulnous the Importation OF Euro.
Jean fabrics and inviting Our patriotic country
men to adopt and appear in nothing but our own
production, appealing ior 8 high example TO Nh
Jefferson the great apostle OF their faith, who was
naugura,ed in a suit the manuacture OF his own
country. and who mad wished the Atlantic a lake
If fire. to protect US against the importation Of
British manufactures and British influence
They seem TO forget that they forced INTO exist
epce our infant manufactures, and that they are
creatures of their own creation, and which, like
unnatural parents, they arc now turning upon to
4evour They choose 10 forget that the highly
Protective Tariff of 1916 was forced through
under the lead of John {. Calhoun, and others OF
The Democratic party, against the whole vote OF
The Eastern and Northern States, who were then
engaped in commerce and other employment',
forced upon them By Southern policy, and which
;hev could not abandon without what appeared
n them an unreasonable and ruinous sacri-
fec. They forget that in 1919 their leaders
out forth, at 1ammany Hall, an argument
of some forty pages to prove Protective Tariff
the only true and living policy of the Country,
and ayowcd that as the great measure OF Their
iaith and party a remedy, say they (atthe 18th
page of their pamphlet, which now lies before
me- against the evils of importations would be
precious as rubies to him who values the lnstitn-
tons of the Country; and on the 18th page, they
say, To provide against our being surcharged
with foreign goods, and as means OF introducing
Manufactures is to forbid entirely the importation
of articles which can be on any t0iera6le terms,
Manufactured By OurseloeS" And after arguing
and proving that it was the duty OF the Country
to foster and protect Manufactorics-and that IN
doing 50 they would sustain every interest and
strengthen the arm of Industry and protect our
people against the balefu effects of foreign nfiu
ence and foreign luxuries," at page 20 of the
same work they say, The ins'nuatio"s Of the IN
ierested and designing on the points of practical
Jity, morqlsand health may be made to fall before
the more National and patriotic splnt OF Manu-
iacturc' Il quote and Italiclse precisely as
find it in the original They then say (saine
page) that modern theory ID IN favor oil Manu-
factories on the points oil morals. health and edn-
cation, even in the old countries, and that vaga
bonds are generally produced from the ordinary
classes of laborcrs, and rarely from the Manufac-
turing classes" And again they say, in aCoun
try like ours, where Agriculture must for ages be
so decidedly predominant, and where Commerce
and the Mechanics Arts will equally keep back
Manufacturing establishments, there IS no reason
TO fear they ,cHu euer become obnoxious 10 our
Fee institutions. Notwithstanding this glazing
proof staring them in the face, radical Loco-Fo-
cosm denounces Protection and the encourage
ment of our own Industry as erploded Federal
Doctrines How degraded and fallen and how
contemplate must all such appear before the
world as we'll as in their own estimation.
They forget that Andrew Jackson, Martin Van
Buren,, Silas Wright, apd others of the faithful
have heretofore and do now pretend to advocate
a Tariff for Protection, and yet ono cannot but
blush for the political depravity Of the times,
when he sees those same men singing hosannas TO-
and advocating the election OF, all ultra Free Trade
man, and miserable nulllfier and distractions,
of tho South And equally disgusting is II to see
the great body of the falsely styled Democratic
party following in their illustrous footsteps, and
pretending to be the body guard of the old Re-
publican school, and that too while living in the
epcn violation Of every principle which dstln-
guished it as such. Tocompetc their creed they
have added to their absurd hostility to the Navy,
their opposition TO n sound Currency, which was
sanctioned and sustained by Jefferson, Madison.
Dallas, their present candidate for Vice President
Van Burcnand Others, and adopted the corrupt and
rotten principles OF modern Loco Focoism which
set at naught all law and order, and In It's VIC.
fence has unsclupuousy tranped under foot the
respect due to sovereign and independent States.
With this faithful and fiji exposition Of our sew
el creeds and the issues now before the country,
we plant ourselves lmmovahly, upon the Wing
principles of the Revolution as advocated by the
Fathers of the Republic, and carried out and
toned By the Constitution. This is the cause IN
which you have cnlisied-this the cause IN which
every patriot and friend of liberty may be prouc
to enlist; and say to you again, It only remains
for US to do our duty, and we shall once more
bring back the country and firmly establish il
upon that solid foundation, and in that prosperit,
it enjoyed in The most favored of by-gonc days.
70 accomplish this, you are invited TO elevate
one Of the purest patriots, and Inost accomplished
Statesman OF the land, TO power; e. gentleman in
every act of whose long and eventiul public lil,.
of nearlyiort years, yon have all assurance that
the bos. interests OF the country, regardless Of &!
considerations personal to himself or friends w'l'
occupy his constant, anxious care. With theSt
things to encourage and stimulate to action, al.
low me to say, that henceforward, and unul the
| contest is over, hope to hear of you where the
blows fa! thlckest and hardest; and pledge my.
self 10 be with you there.
With great respect. an truly youts.
