This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past

the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in

no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; fur if a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediaicly givesea.se by open
ing the pores and healing the gums; there
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. Sio.

Aiu-novi:n, May Stb, 1810.
TO TIIK
People of the United Stales.
Our country presents a now spe?l.acle
for the contemplation ol' mankind.
A candidate for the Presidency is asking
the suffrages of our people, and at the sunc
lime refuses to answer tne questions they
put to him for the purpose of satisfyir
themselves as to the principles and policy
bv which ho will be governed, if elect-
ed. W i!h his own consent, a eommit-
tee is interposed between him and his
countrymen, not to aid him in giving
frank replies to their reasonable inquiries,
but to cut oil" direct communication, ant!
keep bis opinions from the public. A
free and intelligent people, wdcose pre
cious right it is to ask and obtain the views
of ever man who seeks their suffrages,
upon every topic appertaining to their gov
ernment, arc bluntly told that they shall not
enjoy this right, but shall take a candidate
lor the Presidency upon trust. r ney are
asked to relax that "eternal vigilance,"
which is truly "the price of liberty," and
... .i i :t
blindlv submit tnemscivcs, n not. to a
'Kintr. who can do no wrong," to a Chief
Magistrate who assumes the attitude of ir
responsibility and surrounds himself with
ministers, even before the crown of power
has been placed on his head.
This candidate was nominated by a
convention, not because they considered
him the ablest man of their party, or at all
qualified for the station, but merely because
he had once been a General. Having
seen the people place the heroic Jackson
in the chair of state, notwithstanding their
uuceasing denunciations of "military chief
tains," they weakly expected to avail
themselves, in their struggle for power,
of the same devotion and enthusiasm, by
presenting the name of anoiher who had
worn the uniform of his country and at
tained to the same rank. They did not
accord to the people sense enough to dis
criminate between the weak and inefficient
chieftain, who, after a series of military
blunders, fortunately for his country re
signed his commission in the midst of the
war", and the real hero who took it up
and closed that war in a blaze of glory
at New Orleans.
Under this fatal error, the convention,
instead of presenting in an address or
resolutions the principles which would con-
trol the administration of their candidate corrupt it when extended. Not believing;
it elected, concerted a general movement j the people fit for self-government, they
throughout the Union to give eclat" tojwill not trust, them wiih power when
tneir nomination by a simultaneous shout they can avoid it; and, whenever the oppor
to the military glories, w ieh, aft:;r an tunity presents itself, take from them that
oblivion of tweni y-ti vr years, are now fur j which they possess. They do not scrupla
i!e lir-t titiio discoveied to be worthy on to compel their dependants to vote their
eommemoralion in foists and in song .will, at elections, instead of their own.
We have accordingly seen vast as.-embla-; and so to manage their private affairs

know the political opinioosof the candidate,
md tal c bi-n, for better or for worse,
gugzed and guarded as he is.
To these means of inlljence are add-
oil money without Mint, abuse of olli
eial station and privilege without res-
Iraint, and violation of ihc laws without
reserve. The I Jan ison part in Congress
are leagued together in a great cbetion-
coring 'Association, with its ''executive
committee" appointing subordinate com-
miUees throughout the Union; rais
ing money by lens of thousands to
support pie-si's, to magnify ti eir mock
libel the Administration, and scatter
delusion through th(! country; piaetising
tbe most unheal il of abuses, getting sub
scribers to a newspaper under a promise
that they shall receive il under frank, vio
lating the law by actually franking it, and
devoting their money, their talents, their
privileges, and their time, not to the busi
j oess of legislation for w hich they were
elected, but to an unscrupulous and un
ceasing warfare upon another department
of the Government. The public business
is delayed, the public faith violated, and the
ordinary operations of the Government
obstructed, that the session of Congress
may be protracted; thus furnishing the
influence of public station, the facilities of
the frank mid mono from the Ti e icnry, to
carry on their electioneering operations. In
j some cases electioneering tracts franked by
members of Congress, weighing more than
they bad a right to frank, have been falsely
marked "public documents," to secure
their free transmission; and in others,
thefrank of members has been boldly for
ged ! What, would be said of the Execu
tive officers here, if they were to form
such a club, appoint such a committee, and
resort to such means? Would not the very
men who arc now committing abuses ;uid
outrages a thcusand times more aggravated
than any they charge against the Admin
istration, sound the tocsin of alarm upon
a thousand hills, and start !; the country
wiih the threatening dangerr Aim are
these combinations h ss corrupt, less dan
gerous, or less criminal, in one department
of the Government than in another?
CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE
lies at the bottom of this whole scheme of
electioneering.
The Harrison party showed this con
tempt in presenting "a military chieftain"
-as their candidate, after having for years
denounced the elevation of such men as
worse for the country than "war, pesti
lence, and famine, or any other scourge."
Ti.-ey show it by presenting a sham hero
to the people, and endeavoring to persuade
thow that he is a real one.
They show it by asking the people to
vote for a gagged and guarded candi
date, who "will answer the questions of
neither friends nor foes."
They show it by abandoning all argu
ment, and throwing principle out of the
contest.
They show it by their log-cabins, cider
barrels, pitchers, canoes, balls, banners,
pictures, and parade, riot, and drunken
ness; fit only to amuse, if they did not dis
gust, a London populace or a Parisian
mob.
They show it by their incessant and
monstrous misrepresentations of the acts of
the Administration, and their causeless a
buse of the men who compose it.
Where is the true-hearted American
who would not be ashamed of his country
if she could, by such means, be induced
to abandon her right to question candi
dates for office, and throw herself uncon
ditionally into the arms of a President
and a party which has no principles, or
dare. not avow them?
From this contempt of the people
springs the opposition of the leaders of this
right of suffrage, and steady attempts to
as io reward or punish moro humblo
men for tho sut render or assertion of
the right of free suffrage. Upon tlm
sane principle, they do not hesitate
to cheat in elections and cheat in the
returns. Recall a few facts of recent oe-
ni.renee, and it will be seen that I do
them no in jus; ice.
In 1S3S, the leaders of the present
Han i -on party had possession of the
Government of Pennsylvania, in all its
legislative and executive branches. By
falso registries, and the introduction, of
thousands of voters from abroad, thcy
stiove to elect a Governor -and a majo
lity of the House of Rnprc.-entatives,
but were defeated. Instead of submitting
to the decision of the people, they deter
mined to disregard it and retain possession
of the Government of the State at every
hazard. From the county of Philadelphia,
two Democratic Senators and eight Re
presentatives had been elected, and it
was so certified by a majority of the
judges of the election; yet, though tha
Democratic majority was several hundreds,
a minority of the judges sent a certificate
to the office of the Secretary of State, false
ly showing that the Hariison candidates
had a majoriy. The change of thrseeight
members from cue side to the other,
would give them a majority of the lloust
of Kepicscntativcs. Fortified by this talse
certificate, and supported by the Governor
and a majority of the Senate, the Secretary
of State publicly advised his party to tieat
the election of Governor as if it had never
been held, although the Democratic can
didate had a majority of thousands! Oa
the meeting of the Legislature, he sent in
the false returns, and withheld the truo
ones. The Senate immediately admitted
the usurpers. When the Democrats of
the House resisted their introduction into
that body, the Harrison party proceeded
separately, in conjunction with the usur
pers, to organize a House and choose
their officers. The Democratic members
did the same thing, in conjunction with
the true Representatives from Philadelphia
count v. But, as the Governor and a ma
jority of the Senate were of the Harrison
party, all power was in their hands; and
it became evident that they intended to
create, by arbitrary power, a majority in
the House, and set aside the election, not
only of several Senators and Representa
tives, hut that of Governor also!
This design, more bold, considering
the people and the age, than the most
daring usurpations of Caesar, Cromwell,
or Napoleon, roused the spirit of '76; in
dignant multitudes poured into the capital;
they organized a Committee of SAFETY,
and prepared to assert the rights of the
people. The affrighted Governor and
Ins guilty counsellors, instead of rece
ding from their foul design, denounced the
people as rebels &. determined to carry out
the usurpation by force of arras! Troops
were called out provided with "buck
shot anil ball cartridges," the capital of the
State resounded with the dm of arms; and
the peace of the Commonwealth seemed
to be suspended upon a hair. Lest tho
militia of the State might show some re
luctance to shoot down their own' friends
and subvert their own rights, the Governor
had the audacity to request the aid of a
body of United States regulars, then in
the vicinity, and to demand of the Presi
dent the aid of the army of the Union!
What, in this case, did the people ask?
Nothing but the installation of their public
officers, duly and constitutionally elected
by large majorities. And why did not
the Harrison party proceed in their mon
strous design to deprive them of this dear
est right of freemen; to treat the election
as if it had not been held, and retain the
possessou of power at the point of the bay
onet? Not because they relented; not
because they were not ready for blood
and carnage, to put down the rights of the
people; but because two of their number,
and two only, refused to act out the scene,
and receding from the usurping House of
Representatives, left it without a quorum.
As bold, unprincipled, and unscrupulous
as they were, they dared not proceed
when they could no longer shield their
usurpation under constitutional forms.
What on this occasion was the conduct
of those who now constitute the Harrison
party in other States? Did ihcy de
nounce the usurpers and take the side of t ho
people? No; almost to a man, thev sustain-,
ed, encouraged, and defended Governor
Ritner and his daring associates. The
people received from them but ferociou
abuse with the epithets of traitors intd
rebels'. The attempt to cleave down by
the sword the most precious rights of
freemen, was every where applauded by
them, showing that the same contempt
el
