NsW and Important Proposition-How to Rsgene-
crate the Nation-Hiram Honey,ceu in the Fisid.


DEAR SIR:-My purpose is to address the Amerl-
can people through you, upon a subject which to
them is OF vital importance. II is known to you
and to them there at present two candidates
for the highest and most responsible Office IN the
nation, ,theiPresdency Of the U.States Now the in
dvidual that should be elevated to this high sta
ton should be man Of the purest morals-of the
utmost wisdom-the most matured judgment and
the 6rmest integrity. Neither of the candidates
now before the people possess any Of these quail
ties. draw my information from the press, as it


is conducted by both the Political parties, and find
from their own statements that men, more unfit for
the suf1rages Of the people it were impossible to
find. Why it is that the parties should have select
ed such ignorant and wicked men it is hard for me
to tell, but so it is. Mr.. Polk, the candidate Of the
democratic party. is one of the most ignorant, as
well as one Of the vilest men ever heard Of. He
is opposed to every measure that would advance
the Interests of the government and promote the
welfare Of the people. He is no statesman-no
orator-no philanthropist. He don't know the A
G Of political economy, and II we should be so


il is impossible to divine They say that pokeber-
ries poison, and am sure II his principles are
like them, and there is danger OF his poisoning the
nation with them, we had better have nothing TO
do with either him or them. And as for Mr.. Clay,
the candidate OF the wing party, he's no better than
life. and when member Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives and Senator, he sat with his fingers in
his mouth and never said word, when the dearest
interests of the people were under discussion and
in danger OF being Frustrated and trampled under


loot by designing men. The only thing he ever
did to aid the enemies of the land in their work
of depreciation, and he's got oceans OF the plunder
at Ashland now. His whole life proves him to be


aman Of the most profound ignorance, and Of the
vilest character There never was sin that he has
not committed, and the only wonder is, that his
amiable and interesting wife don't leave him and
take journey into some foreign country where


she could never hear of him again. The obscurity


place for such man. What on earth could be ex-
pected from the election of such character to the
Presidency. Why the British hortocracy would
ride over us rough shod, and the lovely continent
Of America would become mud-hole in less than
three weeks. That yeu may see that | have not
undervalued the gentlemen, but fairly represented
them, refer you to both the whig and democratic
prove every word say, why then I'll come to New
York and kiss the tool Of the Native American
Mayor, or Bishop Hughes either.


Now, in order to save the country from disgrace
and the deepest shame, propose that new can
didate be hunted up-a man OF honesty, at least,
il we can lind in him no other recommen ndation,
and if he hasn't done any good, let him have no
harm hanging to his skirts If no other individual





than myself, why then beg to be offered as that
candidate whom the people may safely and honor
ably make choice Of pledge myself, if nomi-
nated that shall go for the country in everything
and for myself and the people last, knowing that
we should all be willing to suffer our part tor the
prosperity of the country. The first thing that
shall do after my election, will be TO clear up the
dirt Of the Presidential mansion. The chairs
shall have Resulted and the hangings sewed up
the holes ought to be mended for the honor Of the
American people. After this, l shall proceed to
have the Hall of Representatives and the Chamber
Of the Senate we'll swept, and il Dixon H. Lewis
any other man, in either House, shall be guilty
of squirting tabacco juice over the floor, shall
have him elected at once, and shall allow no
in either House Duelling and such like lshall
prohibit, and will box the ears Of any one who
shall be found to violate the law in any way. My
life shall be expended in the cause Of my country,
and if | don't do credit to the chair Of Stale and
the government, then let the people kick me out of
Office. Many things | might here say did not
modesty prevent. You, sir, and the people may
thinkswhat they are, and give me credit accord


ingly AMY only purpose in thus offering to sacrifice
myself for the good Of the American people, is TO
save the country and them from disgrace. This
accomplished, shall die in peace. |! my services
are needed, hope you will call for them. leave
the matter with you and the people. You may act
in any way you please, but act soon.


Yours to serve and be served.


HIRAM HONEYWELL.
