The public is well informed, thai the Wing par
Is in this district 10 Sscnrc the ascendancy, have
manufactured all the Wing material that could
be brought under their control, into VOTERS
Thirsling for power, they care only 10 coveriheir
acts with the forms OF the Constitution: and that
their inordinale appetite for il may be satiaied,
they have selected for their Standard bearer
champion, who claims for the government all those
powers which Virginia and her great statesmen
have denied TO il, as dangerous 10 the peoples
happiness and liberty; and who also glories in be-
ing The friend The associate and the admirer Of
John Quincy Adams-whilst this enemy of the
South and her institutions, in turn, sympathizes
with John M. Bolts, in his struggles and his re-
nown.
In opposition TO this, the Democratic party raj
lies in support of those principles which have
ever characterized Virginia; and, IN favor OF
which, the verdict of the people of this mighty
Union has, lalelv been rendered; and James A.
Seldom, man distinguished for his virtues his
talents. and his devotion 10 RepubIicanisn, is Sc
lectod to defend the cause the people, The Con-
stiulion, and the institutions Of the South; and,
thereby, 10 preserve the Liberties We enlot, ana
10 strengthen the bonds OF our happy Union:
The people of this District ought not TO forget
settle so lar as they can be settled by the !reemen
Of one OF Virgnia's Congressional Districts
Party lies ought not 10 induce the citizens OF this
renowned Commonwealth, TO support men, in
their contests for power, who place themselves IN
an attitude Of hostility To those great interests OF
The country which have received the approval
OF all unbiased patriotism. Ours IS Co.
vcrnment that was established for the bene-
ft OF the people, and their wishes and their
principles ought to control lis action; and
those ought never 10 have power placed 10
their hands, who avow determination 10 disrc-
gard the earnest desires Of large majority OF the
people, and 10 oppose The Accomplishment OF
great national purpose, frausht with incacu-
liable blessings, which patriots oil all parties,
and sections, sanctioned, until amidst The strife,
the excitement, The smoke and the dust ever alien
dant upon struggles for supremacy among men,
the dazzling light of the goal of ambition obscu
red the nobler objects which our country calls her
sons 10 pursue.
The candidate Of the Democratic party will be
friend oil The administration, ard will support II,
so long as il adheres 10 the glorious principles
which brough, it into power. The candidate oil
The Wing party is a bitter enemy Of the admins
tration Of MIR. Polk, and will, as we shall show
in due time, oppose il and It's friends, in all at
tempis for the final adjustment The Texas CUES
tioil. MT. boUs is now gong tnrouSn me DistlCi,
and gives expression 10 his qualification, a, what
MIR. Polk has already said and done. His OBJ
ject in This, is easily understood. The device
is loo shallow. II he thinks there is any thing
in the words or the actions of The President, con-
genial with his political feelings, or his policy, he
n,isunders,ands them. The Republican virtues
Of Republican President may as,onish one who
has imagined that all that is considered of good
report, among men, belongs 10 old Federalism
But if there is any thing in the Inaugural address
Of The President, entitled to The admiration Of
Mr.. Bolts, tina, admiration is homage, Paid by
him, TO the principles Of Democracy; and is no
adulalion offered up at the shrine before which be

that address, in reference TO The distinctive
measures Of The two parties. gives no coun-
tenance 10 Wing principles. It contains those
noble Democratic sentiments, which, in the
contest aroused the energies Of The people,
10 The overthrow Of the covers Of monopo-
poles, and Of partial and unjust legislation ;
and the only declarations in il, which have been
distorted into any thing which could give the
smallest sanction to The measures Of our oppo.
