,ofn,ation of soma of the more prominent ana
glaring misrepresentation set ai'oa. Ia '''o '0A
yass now approaching its consuIh"ia''o" :,
We do not propose rc-state OF nc ,oa'gs 1s'S
general positions views OIL i.e ing a''y.
These are fully and ably SET ioflh IN Tue ADDRESSES
Of the Whig State Conventions ana 10 tfeih we
,nona6edIy refer every candid inquirer after truth
pn, tbere are one two incidental points most nn-
"l 'A .sssoted by our adversaries on which We
ask your attention.
pepudiation We are accused in one breath Of
.,yipg 10 roll up an enormous State Debt of Forty
o Ffty Millions, and thereby involving the People
IN q abyrnlh of oppressive and endless Taxation,
and vet of being hostile to the collection by Tax Of
Revenue necessary sustain the credit and pre-
,erye the faith Of our State-in other words, OF
Beoudation Neither OF these reckless asper-
.;ons has any foundation in truth. We are indeed
il favor of promptly and vigorously, so far as may
be pressing on our several lines OF unfinished I'M
movements TO completion, because we andoubt-
iupy believe that the surest and speediest way OF
syerting the necessity of Taxation and reducing the
brthens, while increasing the productive wealth OF
,he People. Our completed Public Works, costing
in The whole less than Fifteen Millions of Dollars,
are now burthened with the heavy charge of sup
porting uncompleted and unproduciiveW orks which
have already cost a larger sun. We insist that the
most palpabe considerations of economy and secu-
,jty demand the completion of these now useless
but expensive Works, 80 that the heavy invest
men,s already made in them shall longer re-
main dead weight upon the resources of the
State, but shall contribute toward the payment Of
the interest ANNUALLY chargeable npon them.


There is 10 shadow of truth in the charge that
We are favorable in eny event to the Republication
Of our State Debt, or any pa,t OF il. We protest
sgans, the imposition of Direct Tax, by the same
bill which directs stoppase of the Public Works,
because consider i, in thai connection unneces-
ssry, and because we believe that the State Works,
promptly completed especially if aided by the a,l-
rua receipt of New York's Just and equal share of
lie ;blic Land Proceeds, will abunddnty sustain
themselves. Had the object of the Tax been to aid
in the completion of thu Public Works, so that our
Fellow Citizens might have enjoyed the use OF them,
aid the State:heve been reimbursed for the expense
Of THAR constrnctien it should have had united
and cheerful approval. If there be any who doubt
g 10 WHICH patty would be most likely propose
sud Justify RePudiaton, let thena study the recent
history Of Mississippi and Michigan.


shousighted indeed viii be the policy of those
itt,rssted in the upholding and strengthening OF
our State credit, if they commit their interests to
the tender mercies of the political allies of the
Western and Southern Repudiators. Experience
bs, by this time abunduntly proved that the Tax
ah4 stop policy is moi likely TO restore the Public
Credit How SHOULD it2 Suppose private cilis
zen had invested sl00, ,O0O in block OF stores, OF
mills, or Of factories and, having completed them,
should give ,hem over to diapdation and ruin,
Nserting that he had exhausted his means ard
could 90 no farther--would such course be likel,
pny;gorate his credit Would any trust a man
Tho bad avowed himself nos Only So Desperate 10
crcuIRs,ances but co incapable OF doing business
Your experience and good sense will readily sug-
sest the answer.


The Wing policy, on all the main points of differ
eHe between us and our opponents, is plain and
gnequivocal. The restoration of SOUND AND
QSlfoRM CURRENCY for the People OF the whole
Union: the systematic, effective, permanent Pro-
rEeTlos OF opR HONE LABOR against depressing
and TainCus ioreis competition; the prosecution

TRiBuTIos OF THE PUBLIc LAND PROCEEDS to the

cyntcnd unconnected as they may superhcally APP

isusive, benefcen, AMERICAN SYSTEM designed
