Synopsis If HE Remarks Of DR.. C6rJta
In all Governments based the public vii, the de-
sign of which the protection and welfare OF the peo-
pie The only real sureies wh ch be had for perHa
nency will be found the honesty, intelligence ana
virtue OF the great body Of the people. And az is ex
emplled by the history Of the past, We conceiVe thai
it behooves all good citizens TO be earnestly interested
in selecting for the highest Office known among u.s. men
Of sterling principles OF morality virtue and inteii-
gence men who will frankly declare their opinions
upon all of the momentous subjects that al this time
engage the attention OF the political world, and having
declared them, possessed Of energy suhcent u car
~ them practice, regardless of all consequences
personal TO themselves. Viewing them le present time
a suitable for US, an integral part OF the greal
Democratic Party of the Union boldly to express our
sentiments the approaching election and the various
matters connected Herewith, we have met here ifeey
and fully, 10 do business own way, without
designing 10 reflect upon the proceedings or doings oil
others, who differ honestly with US as to matters men,
and things in connection with the approaching canvass
which, trust is 10 result IN restoring 10 our country
Jefferson and fully concured in by all OF Repub
can Presidents ever The only weapons we design
use, is fairly and imparaly, IN truth and candor,
to endeavor 10 show, that We as party, contend Tor
certain measures, which believe essential IN the
prosperity of our country, and for such men, who have
shown by practice and pfecept, that iey VIII aohefe
TO our vews-men who have been tired, and found
fully to the wishes oil the Repubican rarity
men who have fully shown that they deserve well OF
the Republic men, whose Democracy has not, and
cannot be doub,ed-men who, when IN power, have
worn those honors with meekncss men, who nave
never sought punish Others for honest differences
of op;non-men who like the martyrs oil CID, wouo
adhere 10 these principles on the burning p'e-men
who could not and cannot b. aIu'ed INTO any creeds
or actions, contrary TO what They openly ana cand'iy
ayow, under any clrcums ances. Bank OF the
United States believe unconstitutional and dan
gerous TO the liberties Of the people, because 1t draws
them off from the regular paths of industry and ifu
gay, which are the sure and cert1in roads that lead
TO competency and happiness in this lieand we can
not, from fair construction placed upon any OF the
delegated powers in Federal Con.tltuton find that
Congress shall have power 10 charter Bank OF the
Unit I'd Stit.s--no consent To trample upon
that sacred instrument, crafty the admirers oil
Alexander Hamilton, even though they assume the
name Of Wings, and endeayor unfairly as we think,
to disguise from public view their real politics We be-
leve, institution like the late United States Bank,
which required The force for its destruction, that
necessary TO overcome the flower and pride oil
Britain, at New Orleans, is every way objection
able in government based on the prnci pies OF Re-
publ ,cansn and believing, feel more than
ordinary solcitnde in sustaining that party, who we
feel assured Will never sanction monstrous an
nsti,utinn-an institution, The dangers of which
have been fully and ably described by Thomas Jefer
son and Taylor Of Caroline whose writings vIvdly de-
pct the in ures of this deadly npns upon the morals
and politics of country. We are lovers oil Free
Trade in its broadcast sense and, consequently are OPP
posed to Tariffs that burdensome aud oppressive on
any class of our feowcil zens; looking upon them IN
the main working ujnrlously upon HE poorer class
Of the commnn ty-and for such Tariff only could we
90 might be absolutely necessary t. the general pro-
lection of domestic industry Opposed to all Tariffs that
shall have tendency to cripple commerce, and the
amassng of large fortunes fcr one class OF men aud
the ruin and beggary of others, Of making one section
of the Union dependent and tributary to the other;
believing that the interests Of individuals require that
they should buy where they can get the commodities
of life cheapest and sell where they get the best
prices believing Also that the embarrassed condition
of trade and commerce, following rs consequence
from the Tariff of A. and thereby inducing part
Of the evils under which labor: should urge upon
the Democracy of the present Congress II have spe
cal eye 10 our agricultural prosperity, and 10 use al
honorable means in opposing aprohbtory Tariff, which
must operate To lessen the mporltions Of the country
