WHIGS OF VERMONT:
In 1840 vou founcl your country in a most deplorablc condition.
The curroncy deranged, thc National Treasury bankrupt, com
mercc Ianguishing, manufacturcs paraltzed,thc price of labor yanc
ing, and of agricultural products rcduced to a dcgrcc almost ruinous
to thc produccr. You did not mistakc thc sourcc of your calami
tics. You traccd it to the time-serving policy of the govcrnment,
the nlundcrers ofthe public treasury, and thc eternal cringing sub-
scrvicncy of Northern locofocos to Southcrn free tradc, and anti-tar-hTpolicy.
You rose in your strength, hurled thc political miscrc
ants from the power which they had abused. Mauger the hollow
nretences that this was the ettect
ment. It was a natriotic tide ot
and burst through your bosoms at
hrrn inflir-tnfl unon thc country bv
a rcvolving moon had passed o'er your heads bcfore thc patriot Har
rison was rcmoved from you by an inscruttblc Providenco. But you
had reason to bclicvc that his mantle had fallcn upon John .Tyler.
Hc shed tcars ovcr thc failurc of Henry Clay at the Harrisburgh
convention, and profcsscd attachment to all the important measures
of policy, which constitute thc greal Iand-marks of the whig party.
But how wofully havc you been disappointed. Neither patriotism,
nor principle nor gratitude nor thc most solemn pledges, could de
ter John Tyler from pursuing sclf aggrandisement at thc expcnsc of
his agonized country.
Thc wholo system of tho whig pa'ty to rcstorc tho commonwralth ho has dashed a.
sundcr undcr thc ii fluence of a mt:c nory aud hopclcss ambit:on,and it is now ljing in
scattercd I'ragments all around us. Veto has succeeded veto, until the govcrnment is
converted into a dcspotism, ond John Tjlcr reigns triumphont ovcr a prostratc congressi
and an abused and insultcd pcople. Dcspotism never had a blackcr day in tho history
of the world than tho rcign of John Tyler, ovcr this hitherto free and independent pco.
plo of this Union. But did I say tho reign of John Tyler; Oh, no, no! It is the
reicn of rure inbred locofocoism, unadullerated locofocoism. He has been fascinated
