ty. Let US meet on this occasion, and
gather new strength from discussing the
principles the old hero loved so we'll to
teach. Let us try and put little more
of the spirit of jackson in our Democ-
racy"
Before proceeding, we trust our read.
ers will join with usin singing:
"The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears;
The Democracy is waking
Topenite2tial tears"
Brethren, fallen from grace, wanderers
from the paths of political rectitude and
righteousness, may you be abundantIy
blessed in your searchings for ga little
more Of the spirit of Jackson" We ap-
preciate your humility-"ask and you
shall receive" You have but to seek
and you will find We extend to you
the hand of fellowship and express the
hope that you may return from your long
backslding, and sin no more. If you
would be happy in the exercise of your
Xsghts as American citizens, you must be
lJrtuous. You must not profess the
'spirit of Jackson, and follow the unclean
spirits of Yanccy and Breckinrdge. Let
US hope that henceforth you will not
walk after strange gods that lead to an
archy, confusion, disunion and death,
but that you may drink deep of the
teachings of Jefferson and Jackson. Let
US urge you not to forget the assembling
of yourselves together. Meet in clubs,
meet in caucus, and as oft as you do SO,
grieve not the spirits of those who are
your political guides, unto the obtaining
of fat offices, sleek contracts, and even to
the perverseness of corrupt stealings.--
Let no evil communications, either in
Arint or elsewhere, corrupt your good
Anners. Rebuke the spirit of treason.
H5ou may work out your own saliva,
De commend to your attention and
consideration the following sim
