Each item is an argument against the De
mocratic candidate for the Presidency; for each
is an infraction Of the principle which prompted
him on every occasion to resist grants for pur-
poses Of internal improvement If he were
right in his own judgment when in Congress,
he would be compelled il elected President to
veto every bill embracing provisions akin to
those quoted by the Courier. II change has
occurred in his views on this question, the
country should be made familiar with it, that
we may know how TO estimate the eulogies
bestowed upon his craftsmanship by journals
friendly 10 his election.
