with their Government which they believe be the best

Of liberty regulated by law and social order They hate mobs
because they believe mobs be always unjust yrannica,
dangerous, and nimica to true liberty. The Ice Of coas

the Federal Executive understood by President Jackson
and his followers gave birth to the presen, Wing party The

Is true, the other hand that the Democratic party de-
sre weak Government, stripping the Government of its
powers enlarge individual liberty is, believe, partly
true and partly false.
When Congress desires carry great of
national benefit which the people demand whether it be the
improvement OF the currency the regulation of commerce, or
the protection of manufactures agriculture told by
the Democratic oraces that the people expect much from
the Government" The people establish their own
schools make their roads, build and improve their own
harbors, protect their industry; the Government
take of itse and do nothing for them The Gov
eminent will take the peoples money and spend in aen
ing army Of Government officers whose duty
fuence the elecionsi bu, for expecting tie Government
its officers 10 Advance tie great interests of the nation in
teectua qorq and physical that's an exploded and ITO
plan idea.
But although according the Democratic theory the
has little power for good, has unlimited p9so
for er and that power lodged in the hands of single
individual the President of the United States He appoints
to and from office, with without He has
thus all Executive power and unbounded and corruptng
influence He holds practically share of the legislative
power. He has been suffered 10 eize usurpaoa both the
purse Of The nation. He involve us in wer,
Of invasion and conquest though he cannot with
the aid Of wothds Of the Senate make peace These
powers including the frequent exercise of the veto, have made
our Government far monarchicqi than that Of Great
Britain, where the Executive power is exercised by respon
Bile ministry whose and changed according
the changes in the popular will expressed by the House
Of Commons.
In conclusion, desire only to repeat the expression of my
and great confidence in the Wing party Of the Union,
and recommend 10 the people of the whole country
party which adenty seeks advance all the great and varied
of the nation, and wisely between anarchy on
the hand and monarchy the other Che Scya and Cha
ry bd which threaten all Democratic Governments taking
care TO keep equally distant from both. DEMOS.
