• -AND SWITZERLAND COUNTY DEMOCRAT

r Our present government has ever shown a disposition to aid, ns far ns (he federal government can and should aid; in such reform* Hie Veto on*the Maysville Road Bill by Andrew Jackson was the first cfibctinl check to the extrava- * . gant and wastfnl system of Internal".Improve- ' ment in wIiicliAheGeneralGovernment had engaged, under the Adniiiiistralir n of John Quincy ' Ada: ns. * The specie circular arrested, at a critical moment, the spirit of speculation which war wapidly engrossing our public Lands, to tho great and lasting injury of the actual settler. ■ The t , . effect of another measure which has been fiercely assaulted by the opponents of tlie administration, (he Constitutional Treasury, is ofa similar . character.-' It withdraws, from purposes of private cnmlument the Surplus Revenue of the L'nienj-and by the severest regulations, it deprives liio Treasury Department of the power, either of speculating itself, or of furnishing the mcaijs cf speculation to others. , So, with the refusal io re-charter the United Rules Du:;!;. Tho government was thereby severed from all connexion with a*powerful commercial institution, a'connexion fraught with ■ * risft bfcorruption, and conveying into the.vaults of a corporation'the Public Treasure, to become, for individual benefit, the basis of private loans; Opposition- the most violent ar.d abuse withotitpncftsurc, have been heaped upon our present Chief Magistrate, In consequence of his .repealed recoin inundation j to entrust the keeping of the ■ -public money to tho public officers; and to collect the same in the only currency known to the cipiriiiution, gold and silver. V To the first proposal it was objected, that it would subject the government to turnons lose, that the•Jvg-irea'fiirere.’as they were tauntingly' csllcil, Would.purloin the puhlifi revenue by rnilliocs or tensof millions; .and the document^ ‘ ry special pleading of tho tiotorions Defalcation Report, scattered by thousands’of copies, over t he bmi, half persuaded, even many honest demiv.’rats, that il.o dorrnptioit among government rucers ivae unexampled it) Us character and uhbon tided in its extent. ‘ yVnd now, when the*real nets are ascertained—officially ascertained—how s;atir’« the cast I Here is the statement, contalnsd in the President's Message; “Since (he officers of tho/Treasury and Post Office Departments were cl erged with the custody of uicst cf (he publld-j (onsys received'by inun, there have*been-coined S(XTT-sii1|il-. lions of; Dollars; and excltiSng the case of the l.-its collector at New V.ork,l|icBggrngaio amount nf (he Josses sustained in tjjo collection cannot, it is-believed, exceed Stilt TnouRAXD Dollars.

Here, tlicn, is another of the vaunted .objections urged against lhe Independent Treasury, prostrated* by. tho simple statement of one Trupo,'unt fact. Il is by idle objections like these, devoid of justice or foundation, that the Whig loaders of the United States commonly seek to conceal, • from the People, thfe trite issue between ihc respective parlies. They are clearsighted; They ice well, that whenever that issue is fairly put, fhe battle will bo fairljj won. They know and foil, Ural tire principles of^Democracy—yes! the Very principles embodied m the lastmespagc of \Martir[ Van Buren,—aro the principles cherish* jn the hearts of tho American, People. 'And lwell do they know, that When these principles are plainly stated, fully explained and clearly defended, before that People, their own doom is mealed. Accordingly we find them ever evading ,thc main question, ever trusting to the effect of some incidental excitement, or to yho influence ■ofsome popular name. ■ . • . . How far these Whig leaders really believe, that their‘political principles, npt the .choice ofthc People,.arc in themselves conducive to national prosperity, is not for us to decide. The secret 'motives of man are hidden from his fellows; and wo are forbidden presump*-

fir tliela dHmJre deceived, and how fir deceiver?. Our/fongings tinge our judgments. Tint which wcjrpsire to he, wo too olicn fin'd, or frame, a pica trrjusriiy. When our wishes urge or our imeftsrs solicit, we frequcntly-rush upon conclusions, ’to which our unbribed reasons would never hare assented. But, be their opinion what it may of the effects which their measures would ultimately .produce, it cannot excuse their policy of concealment, justify their mistrust of the People. They IrTvo acted, as if they fa ad adopted the sentiment of tho learned and aristocratic' Dr. Johnson, who said.—“Submission is tho duty of the ignorant, and content the virtue of the poor. 'Vbty IvtW.uw skill la theattaf government, nor i any interest in the dfssentioqe ol the great.” Such sentiments oml such conduct are abhorrant. id Democracy f . They are the sentiments and the conduct of those who tolerate, but'do not approve, Universal Suffrage*.. They belong to the political school of the talented but. mistaken Hamilton, who declared, “.TJfle People seldom judge, or determine righl.’l,. Yet it isy.oUo the motives, nor oven especially.to the conduct, pf our opponents' that we.wftli to direct the attention of the Democracy of the land; It is to tho thio character 0/ the confat beIttfcitVsandtkcm. Wedesiretoopen their eyes fb this all important fact, that the direct tendency of the leading measures proposed by the Adnlinisiration,’ has been, andnowia, to oppose’ salutary check, to the modern mania of spcculaiion; lo.rcsirainV withiu their safe andlegilimate province the operations ofour Republican Government, and to hasten a return (as Van Buren himself on a former occasion well expressed it) to* thof“eimplo and self-denying ordinances of the Constitution.” . - - I ’• Tlic| people of Indiana will soon, 'be called | upon once more todecidel which system of policy llhey wiHapprdve and support,* (hat system which connects our Republican Government with Bink's|witli Internal Improvements,'.and with a thousand oilier extraneous and corrupting - influences; or that policy which consists in a scrupulous; and li|eral ndlmanco, not to the letter only but; toTth'a spirit of those venerated ordinances, which were the result of our forefather’ wisdom and.are the soufeos ofour nattonV VTlicUime is nigh at hand when ihegreatqucslioti* will be tried.'

* Whig Convention.

The Indiana Journo/ gives a gloving account' of the doings of llic whigs at Indianapolis, on tlie Jfiilt inst. The'Convention is represented as having been very numerously attended, very numerously indeed—and from the description given by the Journal it must havehecn, witjtal, a most suilime spectacle of.'Ini/op-a/tc pbmpland show. No doubt the procession made a most iaqynr/IccjJ appearance, with their dug out drawttlby six gray horses; their bands of music; their! flags, and their banners; the whole forming a perfect car-: avnn—of men monkeys!. ‘ This great show of.granduer may loll ; tc very well with the-, whigs, as it is undoudjcdly a pc-' culiat characteristic of life old. fedenl purty, in whcec footsteps they delight to trend;! bui. whaj docs all tilts pomp mid splendor amount to" when brought to bear with the democracy of igtiltbersl It sinks into nothingness!
