iications of their rulers. When the bill was in-
troduced into the House to have the Constitu-
tion so amended as to let each County elect its
own County officers, and each town its own Jus-
tices, the Democratic party invariably voted
against the bill, claiming that the people were
not competent to elect their own otlicers. Ano-
tlier was’, they passed a law directing the Banks
not topay their debts or redeem their bills, until
the expiration of one year. Here, also, I con-
sidered was a great inconsistency. for the party
had always been opposed to the banks and bank-
ing principles. Neither would they repeal the
law which prohibited the circulation of small
bills by our Banks, though petition after petition
was presented by the people—biit aggravated
the case by prohibiting the circulation of all bills
by the banks ofthis State under $5, after the 1st
day of July, 1838, and inflicting a line of $25
on every person so offending or violating this sta-
tute. This, I thought, was strange Deiriocracy,
and it caused me to pause and refleci.
Wlien Mr. Van Buren convened the Extra
Session of Congress, in his message he told ‘the
people they were asking too much from the Go-
verument—that it was the diitv of the Govern.
ment to provide for its own wafits, and leave the
people to take care of themselves. These I al-
so considered as strange Democratic principles.

ple ofthe city of New-York. This I thought
much of. and it established the in the Conserva-
tive faith. I have since read the address from
the Mechanics and Working men of Nashua,

truths. and I would advise all to read it thatcan.
Now, sir. in conclusion, I have taken unweari.
ed pains to ascertain facts and corripare the prin-
ciples of parties, and by comparing the Conserv.
ative address with the Whig address and those
