he refused to appoint, during the ses-
sion Cf the Senate, to all the chane l..
l0rslip but three, which would DC

plain VOCATION OF the constitution,

as we are able 70 learn, has he in any
Official act or expression OF private
sentiment been betrayed into an ex-
Of the slightest concern for
the interests or welfare OF the pco-
pie Of the State.
Under these calam:ties-with o
hostile Executive and Legislature,
who seen to be willing at any time to

al and partisan advantages-we feel

which agiIaie other parts oil the

We do not derry that there are oc~

we soIemnly aver that in no part OF

Ip conclusion, we beg TO be all

ernity and mutua. confidence and
hat our people have no more ardent
wish, nor sincere aspiration than TO
De treated aud trusted as equals in

ribute their full share to the prosper
ty of our common country and TO the
yiory and honor OF the American
