period Of dceply-fraught interest IS again
t.G,ro the people of thus country; Quo wen cal
suia,od to excite their vigilance as well as 10 a
rouse their apprehcnsions and inclte among them

tho present Tariff; III the South FREQ | rade and
Texas advocates, and every where anal gamatlng
now with Protcstan,s and with Paplsts; now
With Aboliiionists and now with pro slayeryi!cs;
now with native Americans and then with the
most ultra opponents even to tho present saic-

i,ion and that portion of the foreign born vote to
whom tho views Of the wings woro most Migrant
Nv misreprescnted, party 10 victorious aud our
measpres arc sustained BY the American people!
At this moment even, man can deny that
tho largo majority of the voters OF the United
States stand tho advocates Of any other form OF
currency ms opposed to the Sub-Troasury of the
protective feature Of tho Tariff as opposed to
FREQ Trade of the dstributivo policy. oPpo-
sod 10 direct taxation and reputation; Of tho L.
mon rs it is It's extent md institutions and III
state Of pence, opposed to the unjust acqmsl-
ton of Texas, tho extension of Slavery and OK
potsivc war. Yet fraud and misrepresentation
havo given n seeming ictorv over tho confessed
ludgncn, and interests OF tho American people!
Such state Of things cannot last. The laws
Of eternal Truth and Justice, confirmed by tho
history experience of mon, forbid that 1t should
last I, must end in the doom that Providence has
awarded TO unjust courses in every age of tho
world.
Tho partv who hive acquired powor viii in

will awaken to tho distinction between direct Tux

THEMSELVES of the interests of the country. IN

it is true that effects follow causes and i'll this
is at once afforded consolation TO and ovor-

political organization aud namo zealously as
though IN the very noon-tida of power.
For of those things havo solcmnly warned the
people; to the support of these great interests OF
the people have always stood pledged And,
when experience has proved them, 10 Us will the
people turn with uuanimity and confidence and
consistency which must endure while the prospect

And we must DO true TO ourselves we have
HITHERTO BEEN, keeping steadily aloof from all

humbuggcry should be left with opponents.
who, with such aid, now in tho enjoyment of
conquest, We must uniurl To the world the SAME
