VEVAY TIMES AND SWITZERLAND DEMOCRAT.

Holding these to be the true principles of Democracy, it should he the aim of every friend of the Administration, to come to the rescue; we should know that it is a battle of principle, so far as the Democracy of the'country is concerned, and that nothing sliorljof actual .vigilance caq preserve unsullied the golden sentiments'of the Jeffersonian school. | We should know that names cannot change principles, and that although our opponents have assumed the attractive name of Whig, yet they arc a branch of the old Federal party, and a large majority of|ficm were tho strong advocates of the administration of the cider Adams, and the odious alien and sedition law. And indeed, wc find some of the leaders of tho whig parly, even now, notwithstanding their odious "gag law** drove them from power, ardently advocating'thc very doctrines, if not in a worse shape, embodied In a bill of John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, which seeks to close the mouth of every officer of the Government expressing his sentiments on any,subject or matter which may effect the political condition of the country. A measure which is unconelitutionolj audtosay the least of it, strikes at the root of all our Democratic institutions. We ehould know furthermore, that our young and*grdwing Stale has for years been under the control of a whig dynasty, whose whig Governors liavo pushed and recommended a system of Internal Improvements upon ua, that has well nigh brought the Stale to bankruptcy, and ruin. And whereas, we can find nothing in the address and resolutions of the Whig Convention assembled at Indianapolis, on the 16th of January last,, condemnatory of this system, wo are led to believe that should said jmly succeed again .to power, their efforts will be still further to prosecute tho works, and Wilier to increase the taxes of the people,who are already groaning beneath the load of their high-handed injustice. And knowing as wc do, the great body of the Democratic party arc opposed to the system as (aid.out and commenced under the late-whig administration of our State policy, \Vo feel as a party, an additional obligation to rally around the standard of Democracy, not only, to save the government frqm the avaricious hands of whig office seekers, but to protect-the once proud, but now crest fallen Indiana, from tho impending ruin that awaits her.

■’ uth. Because lU is uncompromising in his hostility tp. the rc-charler of a National Bank, ajjd to the creation of a monied aristocracy. Gib. Because ho is a firm euppoiter of the present Administration—a Democrat of the Jefferson, school, and the friend of liberty and of man. Rewind, That wp highly approve of the nomination of the Hon. Tilghman A. Howard, for Governor, and tho Hon. ftenjamin S. Tuley, for Lieutenant Governor; and thai.wo will use all honorable means, and patriotic exertions to secure their election. .

Because in hik Cheviot speech he declares his opposition to a protective tariff—yet ho is supported in all iheraanuiacturingStates by the federal whig party, end by many throughout the Union, upon the ground of bis being in favor of a high protective tariff. , v 3d, Because inhia leiteftp Sherrod Williams, he says, no money should.be taken from the Treasury of the United Stales to be expend-, ed on internal improvements,” blit he is warmly supported by .a very .large majority of the federal whig party, with the avowal, that be is to 'favor of that measure. ‘ >

Hip invites oil those who have been'active in Censuring Ijis while a member of the Legisla*. tare t to.altCrid at the above named limes and places with their he is anxious that hiV conduct should beiubjectpdto tbe moit rigid scrutiny. la order lhal.be may nnt be misunderstood,"the under-signed-specifics one charge particularly, to wit: the attempt to make him oat an advocate of the. present or some other system of Internal Im'provcmenU. He expects, not. only torefute this charge, but to show that in public and id privnte life he bos always been, 'and bow is, the uncompromising opponent of noy and every system of Slate Improvements; and nil bis leg-, islalire acts relating to internal improvements, bad no plher aim or tendency than the total stoppage of the present system. Ho expects further, to prove'that these acts' have been deliberately sanctioned, approved; and by the originator of the slander, whose name will be given if desired, . ’

' Resolutions,

4ih. Because in a letter written in 1632, he declares that candidates for office are bound freely ro answer alt political questions; but* he now refuses to give his opinions on any of the “leading politics of the day,” and has appointed v a committee consisting of three, whohave announced to the Americaq people “that Gen-.' Harrison make no further declaration of his principles for the public eye white occupying' bit present position,” . V V Sib. Be eausq during a long life of nearly three score and ten years, his public deeds prove him to have little or no regard for the poor-laborer; and the pioneer of the west.

Itesahcd, That ive have undeviating confidence in the wisdom and ability of Martin Van Btiren, and that his unwavering adherence to the constitution and the cause of the people, merit the gratitude and hearty support of every American freeman.

% Therefore, we will'uso all honorable means to re-elect Marlin Van Buren to the Presidency, 1st. Because he h as a! way a beciftha consistcm advocate of Jeffersonian Democracy,

adverse, as it may suit their interests, and the advancement of; their favoiate '* Hero;’* and whereas, the Detpocraric parly have ever viewed a concealment of political opinions in a candidate soliciting the suffrages uf the American people fur a high and distinguished office, as an-ti-republican and deserving of<Ihc severest censure, as it is principles and not men we support; and whereas, viewing as wo do in the North, the union of the abolitionists with the whigs and the exultations with which the nomination at Harrisburgh was hailed by,tbo“Liberaior,” and other abolition papers in the Union, as a complete triumph'over, Henry Clay, as ominous, should the whigs succeed in their canvass, .of the greatest political calamity that ever befel a free people, and as tending, directly to undermine the fairest and best government, that an illustrious ancestry evcV conceived;'and whereas, we recognize in the openly avowed sentiments of Marlin Van Buren a deadly hostility to any effort on the part of Congress to interfere with the subject of slavery, in the different slates, or in the District of Columbia without tho consent, of the slave holding states, a devotion than which nothing can be more compatible with the Constitution *anj tho sacred compact entered into and ratified by the formation of our happy government, and as the surest* guarantee against that disunion which tho opposite doctrine must necessarily produce. Entertaining therefore the true Jeffersonian doctrine, that this government is of limited and specifically delegated powers, and.that State' rights and State sovereignties should bo maintained without infringement, we are opposed to
