TO MY OLD WHIG Furl-mus.
GEN‘I‘LEMENI‘ Under ordinary circum
stances, I should scarcely \enture to ob
tiude any ellusion til my feelings and sell
timents upontlie public attention. I” any
apology is required, let it be-i'ound in the
columns of the Journal 0! Monday last.
which assaila. not o‘nly my political. but
my private characterand business. ina
style of ungentleuianly abuse and low vul
garity. excelled only by the bane false
hood 0! its statements.
This attack of the Journal upon' me is
doubtleSs intended to terrify and beat in»
to submission other Whigs. who, like me,
are leaving lht'lt' ranks. They are wal
come to make an example of me. All I
ask, is the right. of explaining to my Whig
lriends the reasons which induce this
change in my political sentiments and as
pirations. It in well that we live in a land
of liberty & republican institutions, where
the intolerant and proscriptire spirit inanl
ifeated by the Juurnal is compelled to con
fine ita vengeance upon those who dare to
spam its dictation to impotent words.
I need not say that. in adiocating the
principles of the late Whig party. 1 lion
estly believed the recognition of those
principles in’ the‘administration oi the go~
i’ernnient to be essential to the “ell'are of
our country; and. with equal sincerity.
retarded the principles of the democratic
party as mischievous in their tendency. 81
destructive in their application to the man
agement of notional affairs "
But I consider the experience of the
last twelve years suflicient to‘convince ev'
ery candid mind—as it has convinced my
own—that the principles and measures of
the democratic party are drawn from the
true theory ul republican government.
best calculatedilo securoithe perpetuity ul
our lree institutionl, and to attain that
primary end olall government. "the great
est good ol the greatest number.” '
The party with which [acted advocated
a national bank.“ an indispensable agent
in carrying on the financial operations of
the government, in supplying a sound cut“:
reocy. and regulating exchanges._ The
democratic pariy'rejected this principle.
“as triumphantly sustained by the people
on repeated trials; and the'indeperirlertl
treasury syaleni now stands in vuidica~'
tion at the wisdom of its policy. For the
fact is established in the face ol all the
world, and has heroine a settled principle
in the minds of the people. that the sys
teni is better adapted to the sale and easy
management ol our financial affairs, of
lords u more sound currency, and keeps
the exchanges at loWer‘ and more uniform
rates than ever was. or can be, realized
from a bank.
A [rig/i protective (arty/“is another and
cle of Whig faith—deemed necessary tor
the encouragement of American industry,
and the protection .ot our manufactures
’t‘rum lorcign competition. . The people
