"Resolved, That the Representative ia Con-

The patronage Of the Government may be equally
dispensed without patiality or favorilism."

men who mount into power DO not always carry
out in practice their iairspoken professions in
seeking the "sweel voices" Of the people.

the public prints, and will rally TO his support a
