Lettheprinciplcs andImeasures upon
which the wing party propose 70 ad
minister the Government, never for a
moment be forgotten. Here they are,
as laid down by their great champions
| Henry Clay, and cordially embraced
by every true Wing IN the Union:
A sound National Currency, regula-
tied by the will and authority of The Va
ton.
An adequate revenue, with fair pro-.
lection to American industry.
Just restraints on the Executive pow
err, embracing further restriction on.
the exercise of the Veto:
A faithful administ ration of the pub.
lie domain, with an equitable distribu-
ton OF the proceeds of sales of among
The States.
an honest and economical admins
tration of the General Government,
leaving public officers perfect freedom
ofthought and right Of suffrage, but with
suitable restraints against interference
in elections.
An amendment of 1.-THE Constitution,
limiting the incumbent of the Presiden-
tlal Office to single term.
These are the Cardinal doctrines of
our party, and with them inscribed up
on our banner, we confidently appeal
to the judgment of an enlightened and
patriotic people.
Contrast them, one by one, with the
doctrines of our opponents.
l. In lieu Of a sound ssNational cur
rency, regulated by the will and author
ty of the Nation," one portion of mo-
derd democracy proposes State Banks,
and another Sub Treasury and hard
money.
2. In lieu Of an adequate revenue,
with fair protection to American Indus
try, one portion of modern democracy
proposes direct taxes and another III
dicious tariff with not more protection
to American industry than 10 foreign
paper labor.
3. In lieu Of sjust restraints upon
the Executive power, embracing fur
ther restriction on the exercise Of the
Veto;D modern democracy sustalns with
one voice, the monarchical feature IN
our Constitution, and the one man veto
power against the will of the people.
They advocate the largest liberty
TO the President in the exercise of the
veto, which circumscribes the legisla-
ton of the country tn execute edicts.
4. In lieu of the faithful administra-
lion Of the public domain, with an equ-
table distribution Of the proceeds of sales
of it among the Stales," modern demo-
crazy declares that none of the States
shall in their separate capacity enjoy
the inheritance bequeathed 10 them, but
that the money arising from the public
lands shall be absorbed in The reckless
and proAigate expenditures of the Fed
eral Government. They declare that
the States shall not have these means of
paying their debts, but shall be ground
down with direct taxes, iE.or disgrace
themselves by reputation.
i 5. In lieu of san honest and econom-
ical Administration of the General Gov
eminent, leaving public officers perfect
freedom of thought and the right Of suf-
frage; but with suitable restraints a.
gainst interference in elections;" mo-
dern democracy would revive Van Bu-
rem economy and with it Van Buren, of
fce-holding honesty. They proclaim it
the duty of the paid officers ofthe Fede-
raj Government to instruct the people
how to vote, and to use the patronage
Of the government in perpetuating the
power of those at whose hands they
hold office.
6. In lieu Of Gan amendment of the
Constitution, limiting the incumbent of
the Presidential Office to single term,
modern democracy insists that the Pre-
sident shall be re-eligible TO office, that
he shall be permitted TO serve two terms,
whereby as experience has proved, the
worst abuses of power, and the most
corrupt intrigues, will ever be practlsed
in the first, in order TO the attainment
/ of the second term Nash. Banner.
