w7 Kendall' Address to Tile people or tbe
r. united States.
Our country presents a new spectacle for
the contemplation of mankind.
-A candidate for the Presidency is asking
the Suffrages of our people, and at the same
time refuses to answer the questions they put
to him for the purpose of satisfying themselves
as to the principles and policy by which he
will be governed, if elected. With his own
consent, a committee is interposed between
him and his countrymen, not to aid him in
giving f.ank replies to their reasonable in
quiries, but to cut off direct communication,
and keep his opinions from the public. A
free and intelligent people, whose precious
rJrht it is to ask and obtain the views of every
man who seeks their suffrages, upon every
topic appertaining to their government, are
bluntly told that they shall not enjoy this right,
but shall take a candidate for the Presidency
upon trust. They are asked to relax that
"eternal vigilance," which is truly "the price
of liberty," and blindly submit themselves, if
not to a "King, who can do no wrong," to
a Chief Magistrate who assumes the attitude
of irresponsibility and surrounds himself with
ministers, even before the crown of power
Jias been placed on his head!
This candidate was nominated by a con
vention, 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 unceasing denuncia
tions of "military chieftains,1' they weakly
expected to avail themselves, in their struggle
fur power, of the same devotion in ..ii
siasm, by presenting the name ofauother who
had worn the un iform of his country and ai
taiued to the same rank. They did not ac
cord to the people sense enough to discrimi
nate between the weak and inefficient chief
itiiu, who, after a series of military blunders,
fortunately for his country resigned his enm-
;.. iV.o n.;,it of iht war. and the real
hero who took it up and closed that war iu
a blaze of glory at New Orleans.
liuder this fatal error, the convention, in
stead of ureseutinii iu an address or resolu
tions the wiuciules which would control the
administration of their candidate if elected,
concerted a general movement throughout the
Union to give eclat to their nomination by a
simultaneous shout to the military glories.

in some
on their electioneering operations
cases electioneering tracts franked by mem
bers of Congress, weighing more than they
tugui iu iranK, nave neen talsely marked
"public documents," to secure their free
transmission; and in others, the frank of
members has been boldly forged1. What
would be said of the Executive 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 are now com
mitting abuses and outrages a thousand times
more aggravated than any they charge against
the AdminisJjfVn, sound the tocsin of alarm
upon a thousawXills, and startle the country
with the threatening danger? And are these
combinations less alarming, less corrupt, less
dangerous, or less criminal, in one depart
ment of the Government than in anoth
er? CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE
lies at the bottom of this whole scheme of
electioneering.
The Harrison party showed this contempt
in presenting "a military chieftain'' as their
candidate, after having for years denounced
the elevation ot such men as worse for the
country than "war, pestilence, and famine,
or any other scourge."
They show it by presenting a sham hero,
to the people, and endeavoriug to persuade
them that he is a real one.
They show it by asking the people to vote
for a gagged and guarded candidate, who
"will answer the questions of neither friends
nor foes."
They show it by abandoning all argument,
and throwing principle out of the contest.
They show it by their log-cabins, cider
barrels, pitchers, canoes, balls, banners, pic
tures, and parade, riot, and drunkenness; fit
only to amuse, if they did not disgust, a Lon
don populace or a Parisian mob.
They show it by their incessant and mon
strous misrepresentation of the acts of the
Administration, aud their causeless abuse of
the men who compose it.
W here is the true-hearted American who
would not be ashamed of hi country, if she
could, by such means, be induced to abandon
her right to question candidates for office, and
throw herself unconditionally into the arms of
a President aud a party which has no princi
ple?, or dare not avow them?
