with regard 10 the surrender the Land Disiriou

follows:


You see the origin, progress and consumma-
ton of all our difficulties. We have struggled
hard under very encouragement to carry out the
true Whig principles Of l8f0 and give relicf TO
the country. Our progress has been opposed and
our efforts thwarted ~ every step by the peculiar
friends Ot ;he Executive the ilOOr Of Congress.
The press under his control has poured out it, ma
licous libels upon devoted head. until every
patrio: Is sick at heart; and when all these have
been braved and overcome, tacn the I'ct0, at Il
single blow, strikes To the ground our iabors, aud
the revenues and credit of the nation. But
unwilling to dwell upon subject painful aud

than IN anger, and cannot but regard II aw
tu warning TO select no man, even tor cOntIn-
gent station Of such power and responsibility,
whose talents and integrity are not equal 10 it
and regard it additional proof that our only
security against treachcry and nordnalc ambition
is found in the term principle, that takes away
all nduccment in the Executive to use his power
to secure reelection. Still ! would not despair,
but hope for the best. Our Constitution contem-
plated the possibility OF such infliction and
therefore has wisely provided against its duration
By limiting the Presidential term to four .ycars.--
1t is true ,ha, much evil may be done in that time
but there i. consolation in the thought that can
say to the desolating flood of tyranncal usurpaton
and folly that sweeps over the land, Thus far
shalt thou go and no farther

general subjects oflegisaton Or policy, or even to
hint az the threatening aspect ot political events
A devoted and patriotic majority in Congress has
struggled hard against every embarrassment for
more than seven months. \ Tariff bin has lusi
passed the House that would at once restore credit
10 the Government and bring reliet 70 the cOmmu
nifty, but the prospect j. that all OuI anxious
tolls to end in noUsht, unless submit to the
will of single dictator nnd consent to record his
cdicts. Whatever grrihce su.i, ring country may
demand, patriotism requires Us to make-every
thing may be yielded but principle to honest
difference ot opinios. but a0fhtue 10 a fgrdHaIcat
erection, aud trust we shall not be driven to tie
dangerous extremity OF yielding all power 10 the
caprice Of man, OF bringing utter bank
ruptcy and ruin upon our common country. 1t IS
"a dreadful alternative, but If presented also trHst
that the Constitution will be maintained at every
hazard, regardless of all consequences
