charter the bank of the United States, Mr.
Webster with all his eloquence, denounced
and deplOred the spectacle of an executive dis
claiming the power and dismantlipg the gov
eminent OF which he was the head. The ovsr-
growth OF abuses and the arrogation of au-
thority which now conceal, as they have dis
torted our political eystem, would have
CURED. as incredible to Webster as they would
be to Jackson. The government can never be
restored and reformed except from the inside,
and by the active, intelligent agency of the
executive. We must hope providence will, in
it's own good time, raise up man
adapted and qualified for the wise execution
this great work and that the people will put
him in possession OF thu. executive administra-
ton, through which alone that noble mission
can be accomplished and the life of our politi-
cal system be preserved and reinvigorated.
Your fellow citizen, SAMUEL d. TILDEN.
BAYARD's REGRETS.
Senator Bayard's letter referring to regret
at being unable to attend, said hs hoped soon
to come here and meet the Iroquols club.
Meanwhile as member of the grand army of
national Democracy. let US each and all en-
deavor with simple and steady fidelity to up
hold the political principles which alone can
preserve the liberty and happiness OF our people
ing security to all and special privileges and
powers to none. Let US steadily oppose all
measures tending to Capitalization of power
and insist upon its Limitation and distribution
so that individuals and minoritles may be Sc.
cured in their rights. Let US denounce any
construction Of the constitution that permits
perversion and prostitution OF the sovereign
power Of taxation from the actual needs OF the
public treasury to the emolument OF the fav-
Ored classes, no matter under what deiusiye
pretext 1t may be sought, and whilst we seeto
1t that property shall have full protection
under the law, that it shall be prevented from
becoming the governing power in molding the
laws.
JOHN NJ. PALMER.
Gov. John NJ. Palmer's letter discussed the
relations OF the state and general government,
criticised the policy of President Arthur, de-
nounced the bill retiring Grant and Logan's
educational bill, deplored the eclipse of con-
stitutional government, and trusted that the
Iroquois club would with words of no uncer-
tain meaning reassert the ancient Democratic
faith in simple, rigid, masculine purity of the
Democratic party.
EX-SENATOR M'DONALD.
I. Ex-senator McDonald's letter said the
foundations of great government cannot be
too often examined nor the landmarks of
power too steadily kept in view. The power
not delegated by the constitution to the
United States Is in the states, reserved to them
respectively, or to the people, and in the pres
ervation of this power the citizen finds his
best security for all local and domestic
rights. Therefore 1t should be his constant
aim to keep the general government within
the limit of it's delegated powers.
SEYMOUR, HANCOCK, MCCLELLAN.
Governor Horatio Seymour's letter reviewed
the history of the Iroquois club and congrat-
ulated the club on its name, but did not dis
cuss politics.
Gen. Hancock's reply was merely formal
regrets, and Gen. McClellan's was of similar
tone.
Ex-sPEAKER RANDALL.
Ex-Speaker Randall wrote: "Jackson's ad
ministration of the government was honest.
firm, successful and popular, because he was
a faithful adherent to the Jeffersonian policy,
and I believe I shall best answer
my purpose in this letter by quoting
a significant passage from the first inaugural
address of Thomas Jefferson" He then
quoted at length from that address.
