"VorlxG FOR GEN. JACKSON. >
Not this, but worse. Since ls4S
it has been lodging the issues be-
fore the country, abandoning the
principles Of the party, vindica-
ting individuals, and tcmporizing
with 'policy and availability. -
Instead of dcfen ding the principles
of the party, boldly proclaiming
them to the world, aud ominating
only such for Office as are in favor
of vigorously carrying its opinions
into effect, it has nominated men
that could swallow but half a niger
this year, though by next they show
them selves able to gulp him down
entire without even grimace. Its
candidates. as in this instance, have
shown themselves as pliable as the
gentleman, who, advocated the
Maine liquor law, but declared HIM
self opposed to its enforcement. So
with the most Of our "available'
and "policy candidates. they pro-
fcss for the time being a QUASI at
tacAmcnt to democratic principles,
yet are opposed to either adopting
them in convention, or carrying
them into effect after an election
What the whole country needs to
restore liberty, law, and the consti-
tuition, protect the lives, and pro-
mote the happiness and general
welfare of the republic, is restora-
ton of the early principles in ad-
ministering the affairs Of the gov
eminent, facetiously termed by des-
pots, their tools and dupes, "Voting
for Jackson The ne cessity of
the times is party to ad-
minister the laws in accordance
with the constitution as interpre-
ted in 1.-The dead past one that
will restore the Union with the
memories and glories it possessed in
"the dead past;'' party that
will not treat the flag Of our COM
mon country as the flag Of con-
querer to any portion Of its
peace to all; a party that
will drive the mad men and free
hooters that have stolen it from the
Temple of liberty, (and who are use :

fanaticism IN one section, and to
rob and plumber in the other, } in

Of Whites and Negroes, ("Europe-

not live together on terms Of "po-
litical equality" then of course hu-
man society is impracticable and
impossible on terms Of equality be-
tween beings naturally so unequal.
The attempt to force such a relation
upon human society, is an effort at
repeating the DEGREES Of 0mnipo-
tence, and while it may extermin-

things is being forced upon the coun-
try, portions of it yielding as the
traveller does to the highwayman,
when within his power, empiric S
and quacks in the democra cy of our
governm cnt, counsel submission to
such an outrage even before it is ap-
piled to their own section. They
advise that We 60 slow /; proceed
with caution OF course, that is
right, for unless we do so the men
forging the chains to enslave the
people can never succeed, and "thc
dead past" though temporarily bur-
led, will arise disenthralled, and re-
assert its rightful authority as APP
pointed by constitution and law.
