 Whereas, this meeting is deeply impress ed with the importance of the approaching political contest, and believes that 1t will go far 10 decide whether the people shall retain their liberties, as asserted and guaranted by the Constitution n,-or whether they shall be compelled to surrender their dearest rights, and submit to form of government not con templated by our fathers of l776; and chere- as, it is the duty of every man, who feels a becoming interest in the welfare of his coun- 'try, to express freely, and aid in dissemina- ting, what he considers sound Constitutional views, and political truth,-we therefore, pre- sent the following, as declaration of our opinions of the same The banking sys- tenn, anda high protective tariff being the only measures of our political adversarles, which they have not been compelled to abandon, successively as they have reused the popular indignation and opposition,-it behoves us to examine the lnbriehy-wiihout party bias-- but for the good of the country.
 protectire tariff presupposes an unpro- ductive pursuit and its advocates, therefore, propose to sustain 1t, by laying productive labor under contribution. Every dollar, thus used, is so much lost to the country; for, if the labor thus employed in an unproductive pursuit were pro6tably employed, the money drawn from the branches of industry already profitable, would not be required to sustain those that are not profitable, but would go to
 increase the common stock of wealth of the country. Each and all being engaged ill those pursuits which, Of themselves, are produc- tive and profitable, no labor would be vast ed; and its proceeds could be advantageous ly exchanged for those products which we do not find it either agreeable or profitable, without protection, 10 produce for ourselves, and the country woMl be lhesgalner to just the amount now paid for the protection.-- This argument we believe to be uaaaswe.a-
