It i impessiUe in an address like this, to state all,, the raany weighty objections to this truly alarming measure There are two, however, which we will here notice, and which, if the only ones, should carry condemnation of it to the mind of every patriot. lrt It proposes a currency for the Government, separate and distinct from that of the people.

Now let us ak' what is the Government but the very creature and agent of the people! and whence does it derive the rizht to provide1 for itself a better currency . than for the people, its creator?

They are therefore responsible for all extravagant and wasteful appropriations because they have had, and still have the iiowerto prevent .them. And let it not bo forgotten that the Whigs, for opposing this waste of their constituents money, were charged by the friends of the Executive with want of liberality and patriotism, and of a design to stop the wheels of Government. The Administra tion party came into power with the profession of a tacied regard for ihe lreedoai of elections, and with a determination that the patronage of the Government should not come into conflict with the freedom cf clectionis.Tfeejr?rtffice w io require every incumbent of of5ce to take an active part ia. all elections, to influence as much as possible public opinion in favor of their master, the President. , But rot content with this violation of past pledges, they impose uum their otace hold its a TAA upon their salaries to be used as an electioneering luni This is professing one thing and practising another with a, vengeance !

We have no doubt that cease!.-! efforts will be made to induce you te be lieve that Mr. Fisher is the triend of those principles which the Irve Republican believe so essential 10 the permanency of our institutions. Go then, fellow citizens, to the polls, and cant your voles for that man who conceals nothing, who dutluint concealment I for the man who is known to possess sound political princioles. Mr. Henderson deserves your supiwrt from erery consideration of priacij-Jo and of duty.- tie is a geniieman 01 superior talents and very extensive at tarnments ; he is and ever has boen a sound and devoted Republican, and if be be elected, he will srre with ability, fidelity and integrity; and with honor to himself and lo bis District.

J don't know about the &: cus ; but it seemt to me that when the Whigs wanted a caaL' ate, it wat a very good way, if they would take the trodfci ride all the way to Asheborough together, and r talk logcthr: and see what man they liked best; and select one who cot out with hit sent imtnts open and above board.. A&llj people Lked bim, they could vote for him ov not. just u ar plcised. I asked tome of my neighbors the other day kcr Mr, Fisher come out. One said, that Mr, Ileochcr 1 was tin' of ihe place, and as he knew Mr. Fisher was a smart mat a' a good Whig, he wrote to Mr. Fithcr to come out and Ul his place 1 but, said another, that is not the way Lr it look too much like Gen. Jackson, who appointed Mr. Vaa !v rco to be bis successor ; and Mr. Fisher and Mr. Kcnchcrk" said that was not right, and was against tbe llepuklicaa aV trine; and besides, said he, Mr. Fisher camo out before II ( Bencher backed of; and my notion is that Mr. Fisher car, out in oppusitton to Mr. Bencher.
