No,.,s the Wine to Pct Thcm

fruits of democratic policy and demo-
cratic Legislation. In their great con-
ccrn for taking care Of foreigners, they
duslral interests of their own country
men, and thrown wide open the doors Of
our market to all who choose to enter
it.-i'hey have neglected to guard our
home industry against the ruinors COM
petition OF the paupcr labor Of Europe
Is thus clabc The former to manufacture
and sell as good articles on as low terms
as the latter) by making the foreign
manufacturer pay Il good tax to our gov
| ernment for the privilege Of our market,
bat have legis!aIel more and more Tor
the benefit of foreign and the injury Of
home Industry, every time they touched
the tariff.
And not content with tins aiding
| fore gncrs at the expense Of oar own
men of enterprise engaged in developing
the manufacturing talent OF the country,
| they have (though once assuming the
name OF the anti-bant partly chartered
more banks and given life to more
swindling paper shops within the last
| ten years, than were sprung into exist
ence tor twenty years before, and Tor the
proof We point to those States where they
have oitcncst had cont rol Of the lcgs-
iatiyc power. In thus incrca sing the
number Of banks withou any real capi-
tai to trade upon, they created that wild
spirit Of speculation which prompted orr
large merchants to import many foreign
goods and Others to run wild in hazard
Gus undertakings Of every description
and brought upon the country the pres
ent financial crisis, by which 50 many
have been ruined, and under the iniu-
ence OF which the Banks have been COM
pell-d to suspend specie payments.
Having long ag, observed that the
Legislators of their party were always
found false to the principles they pro-
esscd, it is no wonder that 50 many
Democrats OF this city and State deemed
them unworthy OF further support and
countenancr, and resolved to unite in
organizing the American party. In re-
turn for tie abuse they have received
for not following their leaders in an
abandonment Of every principle on
| which their party was first organized,
now is the time for those members of the
American party to pclt their rovilcrs
and pclt them to death. Let them be
called upon to look on the wreck which
thcr policy and measures have made, aud
remember that the heaviest blows fall
upon the Fore gu-ruled cities Of New
York and philadelphia, where SO many
disastrous mercantile and other failures
have occurred.
No country can enjoy an ua4is'ujsl
prosperity under such Legislation as
that we have had from the sham dcn,c-
racy. When foreign manufacturers are
allowed to inundate our market with
their fabrics, and home spectators in
paper money favored with power to
issue q, much Of their trash a, they
please through the legislation of he
strongest democratic States, there ne
cessarily 'oU arise al excess Of trading
or specializing in every thing, the end
Of which must be just crisi, as we are
now passing through. These things
they can 10 longer charge upon THEN
political opponents aud hold them up TO
r;diculc as the "ahinpaster parity" be-
cause there are the r3c0r Is of Democrat
ic legislatures to show. that (the sham
democracy have, fer the last, ten years
been tie bogus-banh or shinplastcr
party, and their organ in this city has
aban loncd Democracy and endorsed the
recent suspension. Baltimore Clip cr.
