A FAIR PROPOSITION.

The time is near at hand, when the
freemen OF our country will be called
upun,to elect a President. Two parties
divide the peopIe-each has its candi.
date for the presidency. The federal
uhig party support the claims of iIen.y
Clay. whose principles and measures
have been SO often and SO unqualifiedly
denounced by the people. But another
desperate struggle is 10 be made to re-
instate the federal party. and bring a.
gain into existence the obnoxious mea-
sures of that party. No stone will be
left unturned, no strategem unemployed,
to accomplish their purposes. And shall
the Democratic Republican party be in
active and less vigilant in supporting
the glorious and time honored doctrines
that distinguish it from the federal party ?
In view of tie relation which we sus.
tain to the good cause, we propose to
