It is mainlv attributable to the influence of our Southern friends that we have been enabled to survive thus far, in this most trying situation; exposed to the combined influence and capital of the whole trade, endeavoring to effect our ruin and expulsion from business. We pledge ourselves lo our friends to give them every satisfaction in our power as regards the quality of our goods, the excellence of our packers and the .'ownessol our prices lor cash or city acceptances; and in return, so licit from them a continuance of their patronage, and particularly request those who have influence with their friends to exert it in our behalf, as we trust the cause is one they are all in terested in, ai:d much benefit will ac crue to us from their friendly acts in this way. It has been said, the com bination was broken up. As it re gards prices, this is true, and all, we think, friends or foes will allow that wc have effected this change; but we do assure our friends, that at no peri od since we commenced our system of unshackled prices were we in great er want ot assistance than at the pre sent moment.

Communicated for the Richmond En quirer. To the Jackson Party of 1823. In every country enjoying li berty of speech and of the press, parties have always existed and will continue to exist so lonn; as that liberty exists. In our own j they arose at the formation of our Government; and even be fore the ratification of the Fed eral Constitution, they assumed the names of Federalists, or those in favor of its adoption, and Republicans, or those who opposed it from a fear too well grounded that by it the lib- erties of the States and the peo ple would be jeopardized that under its provisions the Gene ral Government, feeling power and forgetting right, would by implication and usurpation, fi nally assume to itself the right to do whatever it willed. The term Federalist, however, in the sense in which it is now gene rally understood, is applied to the party of '93, who had in the first ten years of the Govern ment verified many of the pre dictions of the original Repub licans. The parties were then divided on the powers of the General Government under the Constitution the one claiming almost unlimited power, the other denying all, except such' as had been specifically granted or absolutely necessary to carry into effect some granted power. In the great contest in ItfOO, they appealed to the only legiti mate arbiter the People who decided, as they will always de cide when they have time for reflection, in favor of those who advocated the cause of liberty. The parties thus differing, con tinued under the old names un til the close of the late war. In the prosperity of the country immediately succeeding the treaty of peace the rancor of party was allayed; and the dis tinctive marks that had been so long maintained, were gradually disappearing, when on the ac cession of Mr. Monroe to the Presidency, they were finally abandoned. On the ruins of these old par ties, probably on the whole the most honest, virtuous, high minded, and patriotic that ever existed in any country, new ones h ive arisen, with the same ' :cmlcs ot those who have ru unt- ed it to wit, the power to do - r . any tiling by national means. The National Republicans, of which Mr. Clay is the ac knowledged leader, iro, in their interpretation of the powers of Hie federal Constitution, tat beyond that of the old Federal party of '98. In proof of this assertion, I need but refer to the first message emanating from the last administration, of which Mr. Clay was a loading member. In that celebrated document, Congress are called on, not only to disregard almost every limitation of the powers legitimately conferred on them by the Constitution, but what was still more extraordinary, to disregard also what until then bad been held sacred by all par lies, however else they may have differed the will of their constituents the will of those whose servants they professed to be. For this odious and out rageous heresy against the fun damental principles of Republi canism, was this party, more than for any other single cause, hurled from power. U is still the same party against which we are now contending, hold ing the same principles -for they have never disavowed them entertaining the same determined purpose of control ling without limitation the wealth and resources of the country. The great measures on which they have staked their political fortunes all tending to a con solidated Government are the re-chartering of the United States Bank, a protecting, if not a prohibitory tariff, and the most extensive system of Inter nal Improvement by the Gene ral Government. These two last go hand in hand without the One the other cannot long exist; nor could either singly ever have been fastened like an incubus on the country for neither interest was strong en ough to carry its favorite mea sure without the aid of the oth er. The West consenting to be taxed for the benefit of the Eastern and Northern manufac turers, provided those of the North and East were willing to expend the millions thus raised in Internal Improvements, a ve ry large portion of which neces sarily falling to the West. With a party thus constituted and thus acting, the payment of the national debt (as it will relieve us from the necessity of raising ten millions annually) must be regarded as a great evil, rather than as an inestimable good for it will be a barrier to their schemes of sectional aggran dizement at the expense of the rest of the nation. Yet for such politicians, entertaining princi ples like these, subversive of every thing like justice and equality, are you appealed to by every argument, however soph istical, that can be addressed to your reason or passions, to give your support. That the opinions of Gen. Jackson are not on all points in exact accordance with the Vir ginia doctrines, is well known; but that they approximate them much more nearly than those of Mr. Clay, is capable of the p la i n est demo n s t rati o n . On the Bank question he is beyond all cavil with us, as his messages on more than one oc casion prove. The whole course of ad ministration hus furnished suffi cient proof that the payment of the national debt in the shortest possible time, is one of his fa vorite measures, and one to which all others, save such as arc indispensable to the public defence and national honor must yield. This determination he has expressed in all his messa ges, iu his celebrated veto on the Maysvillc road bill, he lays down the principle by which he will be guided, so long as he remains at the helm of affairs that all improvements not deci dedly of a general nature, are unconstitutional, and urges in the strongest terms the inexpe diency and corrupting tenden cies of subscriptions on the part of the Government to joint stock companies, as an additional ob jection to that of their unconsti tutionality. Such a system would lead inevitably to one of log-rolling and corruption, by which any administration that was base enough to use such means to retain power, might buy up the disaffected. It is one, too, that would tend to a ruinous expenditure of the na tional fund?, without any con comitant advantage, and which, had it net been checked bv our 1 present firm and patriotic Chief LL.g iiiirmn , Vol. VIII No 5. Magistrate, would have caused the postponement of the pay ment of the public debt to an in definite period a contamina tion most ardently wished for by the manufacturing interests, who are willing to avail them selves of any and every reason tor the continuance ot the pre sent most oppressive rnte of du ties, which they are well nware tlte good sense of the people will force Congress to modify so soon as the demand on the public resources of ten millions annually, on account of the pub lic creditors is removed. J he known opinions of the Presi dent on the Bank question, and his determination to prevent anv further increase of the tariff and to check the wasteful expendi ture of the public funds, in the wild and multifarious schemes of Internal Improvement, by which needy contractors and jobbers amass fortunes at the expense ot honest industry, com bined with his dismissal from office of those who had so long enjoyed them as to think and act as if they were theirs by fee simple right have laid the foun dation of the present infuriated warfare that is waged against him. Many trivial and absurd charges, that carry falsehood on their faces, have been raised to keep from tho view of the great body of the people the real cau ses for which they bear him such deadly hatred they will be found in his determination to administer with honesty and fi delity the Government that has been confided to him, and in his devotion of the public funds to the payment of the public debt for which the national faith has been pledged. In four years more that great object will be attained. On what a proud el evation will our beloved coun try stand, when free totally free of debt! With what won der and amazement will it be viewed by the nations of Eu rope? It will speak in a voice that cannot be misunderstood by the most illiterate, degraded, and tax-ridden peasant of the old world. Such an event, un exampled in the history of na tions, will be the best and hap piest commentary on our sys tem of Government, and one that will give it more character abroad and our example more moral force than any single act that has ever transpired. For what and for whom are we to deprive ourselves of this long looked for consummation of this glorious triumph of the principles for which our fathers fought of this irresistible proof that man is capable of self-government the great problem that wc arc now solving for the world! For Henry Clay and his miserable huckstering poli cy, miscalled the American Sys tem, by which the hard earn ings of one great interest, and that the most oppressed, aro put into the pockets of another already the most prosperous! A system that has, even at this early period, brought this proud Union to the brink of dissolu tion. There can be but few who love their country and will divest themselves of self-interest and the influence of party spirit, that can long waver be tween these two alternatives. COMMON SENSE-.
