The individuals composing this meeting, alive TO

preaching Presidential election, and feeling deep
interest n the welfare of their country, are
fully sensible that the prosperity of the country
greatly depends those intrusted with the admins
trson of its affairs and il is both natural and pro-
per that they should not only have preference

manifest that preference and use all fair and homo
rable means to elevate the of their choice; il is
true that portion of this meeting would have select
ed their first choice that distinguished patriot OF

mary distress the treasury empty and the credit OF
| Government at the lowest ebb, that scarcely mai
bu, brought us accounts Of public defauers fathles
public agents, and the cry OF corruption rung al
| alarm throughout the wide extent of the land Tbs
deserted by the party that elevated him TO Office snt
| left to depend on a few well-trd friends, he ha
faithfully and ably administered the affairs Of III,
Government We cannot forget his Bank votoes
| which saved us from the dangers Of an upconsttu
,ional corporation. We cannot forget tina, he ha
negotiated most delicate and important treaty will
a powerful foreign power which set at defiance the
diplomacy OF his predecessors, and threatened our or
ders with the evils Of war. Under his mild and wis'
Administration, we have greatly improved curren
cy exchanges for the most part at the lowest point
strict accountability the part Of public agents,
our country is fast emerging from state Of gloon
and dependency to high degree Of commercial pros
perity, real, not fictitious What more ought we Il
ask than continuation Of such state Of affairs sn'
what are likely TO gain by any ehsnge1 As ipd'
viduals who personally know John Tyler, and who
