| l While the democratic psrty has been continual ly progressing, suggesting and adapting measures. agreeable to the spirit of improvement ,ha, has from time to time, signaly manifested itself through out the eouhtry-the whig party has ever conten- ted itself with opposing the measures or fail 1 ing back upon the old issues that have long since been decided apon by the everything will of the people. Every measure of importance, every step ! in the advancement of national greatness adyo- cated by Democratic administration for the last twelve years has met with the most rreconcileabie opposition and the vilest abuse from the whgs l When the tariff of lSl6 was introduced and in spite of their opposition became law it's advocates were reyiled in the most odous terms. l, was pro Phscied thatt would ruin the country, it, would stagnate commerce, drain us of our specie, destroy the energy and credit of our merchants, break down our manufactures, in fact that it was the harbnger of every evil, that could issue from the box of Pandora to briag ruin and misery upon our people. What are now the facts' And how have their ill-omened propheceis been fulfIIed2 Let all contemplate the practical results of that measure and judge for themselves, these embodied ia the following:

 It Is from such evidences that we should still judge the effect of the measures of the two parties and the sincerity of eis to cultivate only the welfare of the eountry Itis true that at present
 the whgs do no, profess to be in favor of or against any particular measure, since they have found that the popular decree has been against their theories and distractions, But rs they have never adopted and fear to adopt any measure or opinions as their own--it is fair to presume thai If they should ever again be indued with the power, their old notions of political philosophy will be revived and they will sraghtway seek to undo all that has been done by the preceding democratic adminis- rations, under which the. country has enjoyed an uninterrupted prosperity never before equaed.
