The lynx. (Panola, Mi. [i.e. Miss.]) 1845-1845, 1845-08-30


presidency by one universal shout Of
reclamation, but ere the last echo Of
that loud acclaim had died away,
and the cup of nations Joy had ceased
20 run over, our president was summo-
ned to his asst account; and one sat
down in his honored seat, who, holding
himself out 10 the world as a wing,
basely betrayed that confidence so gen.
erously rcposed in him, and used his
place and power, to defeat the clearly
expressed wishes Of the people. 1t is
true, that the wings were in the ascen-
dency in Congress, but who has forgot
ten the many fruitless efforts then made
by them 10 introduce into the admins
tration Of the government some of their
cherished principles? And not until
the wheels of COVE rnment had almost
ceased TO revolve, did he consent to put
his name TO bill TO raise revenue to
prevent pause in our republican go
vernment Bill after bill was returned
TO the House Of Representatives with
the presidents objections-and again
that wing Congress, determined to save
the country from disgrace, redoubed
their energies to frame bill that would
meet his appreciation. The effort TO
establish national Bank proved inef.
fectual:-and indeed, no measure about
which the president entertained the
slightest objection, whether on the
ground of expediencv, or constitution
ality, was suffered to pass INFO a law
Thus situated, who could even have ex-
pected, with any probability Of reaIl
cation, the country to emerge forth
from lis depression, and assume that
tone, so congenial 10 the wishes Of de-
pressed people? If whig policy, then,
so partially introduced into The admin
strationsofthe government, could effect
so much in SO short period of time,
how much more might the country
have right TO expect from full ad
ministration Of the government upon
wing principles?
The men presented to you for your
sufrages, fellow citizens, belong to that
party who advocate the return to the
pristine policy Of the nation, .when the
experiment Of self government promis-
ed such suspicious results. But now
we arelnot contending for the tr al oil
experiments whose results are yet in
1 the mists of the future Under the
principles for which we contend, our
country has moved prosperously on TO
wards her great destiny as nation
until the mania for experiments de
throne reason, and mad ambition plung
ed US head-long into the vortex from
which we are now striving 10 extricate
ourselves. We advocate a tariff suffi
Gent to protect every interest of gu
country, and believe that the tariff O
1e42 should not be repealed, unles
time shall prove that its fostering an
E protecting influence operates unequally
and then we are infavor Of just moo
iication, so as to equalize its infuenc'
!, The repeal Of the tariff now, would mo.
certainly, paralize the arm of the gov
! eminent, by cutting off the only re
/, liable source for revenue, at q tim
too, when war is ready to burst upo
us at every moment. Instead ola banl
;, rupt treasury, millions should slumbe
in its vaults, awaiting the contingenc
: of war. If you elect the democrat
= candidates for Congress, they are plet
ged to use their influence for its r
/. peal; and very large portion of ii
% democratic party are now advocatin
% the substitution Of the principle ar
;. practice too, of free-trade inieu ola mi
20 tariff, yielding an abundant revenu

r great interests of the country. "
