be read and read attentively, by ever
freeman of the district; and if they are
not then convinced with me that it is gar

roneous in its conclusions, and agrarian
in it principles, it is onlj because the
daiinjjhypociMy f error has ceased t
astonish and alarm! ' '
It is milter of deep regret that in
aty part of our country it should be
c..; tle ph, y f part j to separate
Weij by uiwiatural -distinctions, and
create a feeling of discontent among
the Ubomi'ig classes, by remodelling
und repeating at every opportunity, the
late and tnread bare tale, that the fruits
of t ieir, toil go not to minister to their
" w7i'coinr.irf ' ad"j;ritificationv bat to-'
- pamper the pride of their more wealthy
neighbor, and add to the already bloat
rd fortune of the lordly aristocrat.
Such representations must proceed ei
ther from desire to exercise an undue
influence upon our fellow men by a
wilful perversion of tlie truth and an
appeal to the worst passions of our na
ture, or from a criminal ignorance of
the character and iufluence of our in
Ktitutions. These are matters within
the comprehension of the most ordina
ry mind. The very genius of our con
stitution forbids the existence of any
privileged order of citizens; and the
Voad to th only aristocracy we at
kri.iIede. the iwssession of an hon-
- iiritble competence and ihfcreso exjjnd;
.steem of others, is open ante iw me
Peasant and the Peer. Indeed, such
is the fluctuating character of property,
and the instability of human character,
t ut it may emphatically be said, that it
is- the poverty of one generation, which
constitutes the pr'de of the next. A
large majority of our most distinguish-:
ed men in the liberal professions and
mechanical sciences, arejnen who have
risen br the force of their own exer-
of aristocracy has the
in their veins? are they to be pointed
at as -the enemies of the common good?
thnulrl thev not rather, be marked as
examples for the - rising generation?
and would it net be more becoming the
character of a Ireeinan to admire and
eulogise the virtue and industry which
has elevated others above us, than to
strive by the miserable implements of
envy ami detraction to drag them down
to a level with ourselves, and rejoice
thet there are. none greater or better
than we are? 1 leave these questions
" tn the reflection of the Represintatiye?
1 commend them to the serioos consid
eration of every voter in the district.
They are questions of momentous im
portance containing, as I beljeveUieiu
to, thi germs of an evil which is ere
lon to shake the pillars of the Consti
tution. Hut aa aristocracy to which we are
rendered peculiarly liable, and which
the developments of the tunes admon
ish us to be the event of no distant pe
riod, is the aristocracy of Government,
or, in other words, a Government too
strong for the people'. This may ap
pear to be a startling position! but it is
.... nrthleaa-pnejaP0 which -rtivo -mind
of every patriot -sTioutd pause with ear
nest solicitude. The monopoly of Gov
ernment is the most powerful monopo
incapable of eiiating on earth. "In
" England qtittes-he author, 'about
100,000 000 of Dollars are paid out an
nually ii support the kingcraft and
priestcraft and bankcarft" The Gov-
1 ernment of England is a monopoly of
the aristocracy. Tlie wealthy landed
proprietors of the kingdom constitute
" on branch if tlie
by their influence,, thev are enabled to
model the other) and" thus the whole
'government, limited only by the King's
prerogative, ia placed in their hands,
s heoifice holder of our country, how
ver have no hereditary rights, (f should
- lihye said with one exception: the Prea-'
Ident has lately assumed the right to
nominate his successor in oSice, and an 1
apparent majority of the' country have
sustained hint!) and until th adminis
tration of the government can be plac
ed beyonJ the reach of -th people, the
vultures which are now preying upon
its vitals, are by no means safe. The
means by which they are seeking the
attainment of this object, are not secret.
. Presses are subsidized for the purpose
of lulling tne people into false security.
The offices ol the general government
re openly proffered as the reward ol
'political prostitution, and the officers
required to attend the polls in the char
acter of hired bullies; and when one
it met with who has too much honor to
degrade his character, and ton much
rwws.
" or t hungry expectant will soon lorte
him to retire and make way for his
"re willing successor. The abandon

the Country! The "patronage of the
General Government is brought in di
rect contact With the freedom of elec
tions:" a p;r centagc of the salaries of
the ollice holders is required to be paid
to the support- and dissemination of
frauds and bribery, and dismissal is
mad the consequence of refusal.
These are facts, which can neither
be' perverted by argument nor en
tangled by sophistry? but lest they
be doubted. 1 would refer to the pre

Again, says the learned gp-itleman,

conversant with the history of politics,
does not know that the Pet Uank sys

democracy, General Jackson, that
more than half of the local Banks in
the Union were chartered during Jack
son's administration, and when the ad
ministration party were predominant,
inmost of the-Legislatures, and that in
the selection of tne fiscal agents ol the
Government, no higher recommenda
tion was required than an attachment
to the tailing fortunes of the reigning
dynasty? Who has forgotten the very
humble petition "of the seventh ward

the consequent reward of their servili

The cudgel has been taken up in de

we hear of the operation f the Branch

upon the message of Governor Dudley:
but what are tlte facts? Acwriling toaho

characterises it as an attack upon south

And lastly, the honorable gentleman
speaks of the bill providing for the ces
sion of certain lands to Tennessee as
one founded Upon fraud and injustice,
and intended by the Whigs to have an
undue influence on the next Presiden
