principles OF President Tyler had al Iasi 10 save
The Constitution and the country, by The exercise
of the Veto Power, given by The trainers Of inc
Constitution for that purpose. Mr.. Bolts lncn
, spent most of his time in attempting 10 impeach
MIR. TYLER. That circumstance alone ought 10
keep him out OF Congress, after travelling aoool
making speeches in favor Of MIR. Tyler, and hur-
rains Tor 'Tippecanoe and Tyler ;oo'-recom,,

selecting man whom, in the 18th charge OF I'M
peachnent he considers "utterly unfit and un-
worthy 10 have the destinies OF this nation in his
hands," and represents him as 'nsing the Go
vernment as toy or play thing" Time has
shown whether the 18th charge could be relied
on. The latter part Of Mr.. TyleI's adulihlslra-
lion has given general satisfaction. 1t is useless
10 refer TO The manner in which MIR. Bots spent
his time in attacking different gentlemen; Tor

Unhappy Burr, that his day and generation

people OF Virginia. save the Wing party in Rich

the unhappy Burr, as Mr.. Bolts styles him, lived
in the present age, Instead Of The past, he would
have been taken by the Wing party in Rich

whose presence so diminntve man rs John
Minor Bots would not have dared 10 raise his

District we must look for success from The asri-
cultural and lahorng part oflhc community, who
are always ready when called on 10 protect The
Constitution and orr common country; and will
the people not come out, as they did in AZ, and
prove 10 MIR. Bolts, that they can never give him
their support, in opposition 10 The worthy Seldom!
Sin 1900, when Aaron Burr opposed MIR. Jeffer-
son, the excitement was as great as in 1871. The
Federal party used every effort TO elect Burr Pre-
sident of the United States but they were defeat
ed They believed, in Burr they might find a
grateful iriend-whie they knew lhev had no
Thing 10 expect from MIR. Jefferson. This trans.
action must 20 down TO pos,eri,y, as dark pas
sage in American history. In 1907, public al,cn
,on was again directed 10 Col Burr lie had
lost The respect Of the Republican party, by his
supposed ntrisues against Mr. jefferson FOR the
office OF President, and had excited the indigna
ton of the whole Federal party, by his encounter
with Hamilton" Ye, Mr.. Bolts, al the present
dav, compares Bnrr with James X. Polk, The
people's choice for President Of The United States
and one that he and his party could not say augh
against-while Aaron Burr was charged, lst, fol
high misdemeanor, in setting on foot, within The
United States, military expedition against The
King Of Spain, with whom The Republic was a
peace; 2nd, for assembling an armed force will
IL NTN nrlo
luion;ze the territory attached TO it, ard 10 scpa
rate the Atlantic States from the Western. And
We; Mr. Bots asserts, that, il he had lived in the
present age, instead of the past his crimes wonlc
have been Earadcd as evidence OF his virtue and
patriotism. Allow me, oirs 10 ask the voier>
again, in this district, ifihey can give MIR. Bots
| their support, he entertaining such low and
contemplate opinion Of their morals and patriot
ism? Can lhey vote for Mr. Bots, in preference
10 James A. Seldom, Esq, who thinks and acts
with them on all subjects where their rights and
interest require protection? Your interest is his
interest; and depend on it, that, as long as You
give him your support the district will not only
he ably and faithfully represented, hut will COM
mand the respect and admiration OF The whole
Union.
Now, sirs, allow me 10 take brief review Of
Mr. Bots course in lSt0 while making his cleo
in every section of country, hunbuaging the
people with the Hooe Case, Standing Army, &c;
ana allow me 10 enquire for the good times pro-
missed after the election in lSi0-lwo dollars a
dar and roast beet. Do we realize them, in sell
ing corn for 9 shllinss per barrel, cotton 10 81
cents per b. wheat 80 TO IS cents per bnshcl, and
by the tariff laid on the necessaes OF life, caus-
ing the poor 10 pay an advanced price, and then
telling you The higher The duty the lower lheprce,
new way Of making more plenty2 Are you TO be
humbugged in this way? We think the present
tariff 10 be cruel grinding, shameful and oprrcs-
sive. On luxurics, there is comparatively 70 tax
| On cotton cloth, an article which The laborer re-
Quires TO protect him from the chilling winds OF
winter, there is duty Of from 25 to 10 per cent,
whilst those who require thread lace, only pay
a duty Of Is per cent This tariff may properly
!! be called The rich mans tarifl,-and Mr.. Bots
! is in favor Of il, while Mr. Seldom is opposed tc
! it, believing il oppressive ard unjust.
| In view then, sirs OF the foregoing facts, to
which | earnestly invite attention, call upon
| The voters Of the district 10 decide, whether
| they will cast their votes for John M. Bolts
| the protege o! J. @. Adams-the adoption 81
whose political creed wonld we believe, prove
any thing but sanitary 10 the district and 10 The
! South in generator, for James A. Seldom, Esq.
/ whose political creed affords every assurance thai
| he will zealously exert his strength in defence Of
! those principles which were established aud con.
secra,ed nv the very blood of our foreiathcrs and
! in support Of your best and dearest interests.
