_ l the young, vigorous and healthy body of the
~'democratic party 0! our new ’l‘ez-rilor . l

‘isutl‘ragea a man whom name in connectedl

‘_ cure the title to his claim, who knows the

‘_,them, who has proved himself a good eiti~
, zen and an honest man, whose character
‘and integrity baa stood the test of years,
‘lcommanding wort respect where best
tlrnou'n; not a dcmagngue who has spent
: his time seeking otlicc by corrupt or unwar
' rantahlc means, but a man who has devoted
his time and his cncrgiel to the improve
ment ofthe country, the promotion of cducr
tion and morality. and who lenves his pri
vate duties for the public service only when
lsolicitcd by the urgent requests of his fellow l
. citizens. 0n the contrary the Whig conven-
I tion present to you‘a candidate, I stranger,
who is only known to us as a decapitated
luhig otlicer, a man who, repudiated in the
l States, and deprived of hope, has sought this
' distant coastin pursuit of the deluaiva phan
l tom of an office, the difi‘erencc between
whom and the democratic candidate is that
l he seeks the otfice while the ofice seeks our
candidate.
To the time honored and established
principles of the great National Dancer-tic
party we give our full adhesion, believing
that s departure from those first great prin
eiplcs of our faith laid down by him whoas
pan traced the Declaration of Independence
for nations, and noted on and carried out by
a Madison, a Monroe, a Jackson and 0
Polk, and are now being- rsised aloft by the
present Executive of ottr nation as I light
to the world and a atsr to guide the brave
democracy of old and corrupt Europe in tin
path ofpolitical wisdom that tends to equili
ty and the rights of man.
Prominent among these are the doctrine
of the sovereignty of the States. that the,
Federal gorernmentis one of limited and;
clearly defined powers. That when the ’
Federal government strays beyond its lim
its in an unwarrantablc construction of the ,
constitution, in any attempt to institute un- ,
just or special legislation for States or Ter
ritories, or by an encroachment upon their
political or religious rights, it commits an
aggression upon those States and Territo
ries, bound together by that instrument {or
mutual protection and defence, and giro:
cause of murmur from a people, wedded to
a Union. semcnted by the blood of patriots
from the days of the revolution to the re
cent glorious campaign in Mexico, and does 1
violence to the constitution. ,
'l‘hat. under our Constitution no Nation- '
al Bank or other monster monopoly can be ,
created without doing violence to that in- I
strumcnt. That great monopoliea in the
hands of, and under tho control of Guam I
ment, are dangerous to the prosperity and I
liberty of the people. . ' ,
I That a general system of internal tm- ‘
: proveincnts hy the Federal Government
t within the Loundarics of Staten, except for ,
: put-goers clearly delegated to the Federal
' Government by the Cultnllltlllon should not
i be encouraged. ,
That a distribution of the. ealeaofthe pulp,
lir Bands i: both unComtitutional and ine: t
: pediuut. . l
l That the puhlic domain should not hei
,Illatle a source of revenue to the govern l
, ment, but should he Ippropriated freely in
_litnitcd quantities to the suttlcrs on the nine.
.1 That a tutti for the protection of domes.
litie manufactures alone, is unconstitutional, -'
tilirt-rittiinating in favor of one class of our
lollll'lll to the injury of another; tending
.to draw a line of demarhation b.tw¢\'n the
‘l favored eastern capitaliat and manufacturer
in: opposed to the interests of the western
lifntuner. mechanic and laborer; and that s
‘.ltnritf for revenue is the great democratic
,doctrinenmntually and incidentally sfl’ord
{iing protection to all branches of industry.—
. increasing commerce and general prosperity
l:-—eausing to flow into the colt-rs of our
'trmsury an abundance of the precious met
l rats to lllCt‘l the wants of all economical Id
ll ministration of the. general govelnment.
l i That while under the auspices oft: demo-
I crntic administration the “cult of the great
", Pacific Railroad: from the States to thcl
‘l’.i«'|llc roast—to the great harbors on the,

With these old fullioned doctrincl of our
party, let every democrat. be willing to
calm up to the polls nnd verify by his oath
tluct the truth of the doctrine to which we
clain to be attached—“ every thing for tho
cause, nothing for men.”
Then, fellow-democrats. let us unite in

time-honored standard, upheld by an Inn
