THE POLITICS OF THE PEOPLE.
A few words on this subject are al tina,
are deemed necessary, at present.-The
same course will be pursued, and the same
principles advocated, rs those which m 2
ked the character Of the( Xenia Peoples
Press in lS2S-The Editor will labor for
the election Of Gen. Harrison to the Pres
idency, upon the same grounds, end from
the same motives, which actuated him, in
his endeayors to elevate Gen. Jackson to
that high station; to wit: to purify the
councils Of the country to wrest official
power from the hands Of corrupt and dan
gerous men, to support THE COMMON
RIGHTS OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
Ito restore to the Farmer. the Meehan-
ic and the Working Man their proper sta
ton and influence in the Republ,c-and
to fhror light into erery cnbia ia the State
on all subjects Of great and primary ma
tionaI importance.
The Editor most positively denies that
he has experienced the slightest change
in his political principles, since 1928.
He is now, as ever, the uncompromising
enemy of the Bank Of the United States,
and Of all Bank and other chartered Mo-
nopolies. He is for retaining power, as
much as possible, in the hands Of the Peo-
ple-for - frequent elections, moderate
and rotation in ofice'-for q
presidential Election for one term only
for prohibiting the appointment.of men,
bers Of Congress to lucrative offices-for
establishing the strictest accountability
IN all official stat'ons-for a rigid Impair
TALLY in the distribution Of Offices, SO that
the rich and the poor should be equally
entitled to the honors Of their country !;
and that merit, talent and patriotism, and
not political servil:y.) should constitute
the only recommendations to fame and
he entirely accords with
Gen. Jackson, in the noble declaration
contained in his first Inaugural Address
that 1.-THE patronage Of the Government
should never be brought into conflict with
the freedom Of the elective franchise" In
a word, the Editor is the same kind Of a
JACKSONIAN he was in '2S.-He will
contend for the same great principles Of
national policy and the same expected
results. But he now finds Gen. Jackson,
in 'sthe sunset Of his day." imbecile,
credulous, and infatuated with a vile ca
bal Of sinister demagoyues, by whom he is
and who have actually wrest-
ed form HIM, except in from and name, all
the official power Of the Government,
which they are appropriating tor their own
aggrandizement, and for the building up of
their fortunes out of the National Treasu-
ry.
The EIitor has personal and intimate
knowledge Of the above facts.-He well
knows that MARTIN VAN buren,, and
his retainers at Washington, have grossly
deceived and betrayed Gen. Jackson, and
are now utterly regardless Of his future
fame or happiness, 80 that they can riot
upon the spoils Of the Treasury, and dis
pense the patronage of the Administration
to suit their own purposes. He once
thought otherwise, and hoped otherwise.
For long time he felt almos, inclined to
resist The evidence of his senses, SO strong
was his attachment 70 Gen. Jackson,
and so ardently did he strive to sustain
the honor and integrity ofhis Administra.
ton. But to use Gen. Jackson's favorite
motto-.'truth is mighty and must prevail.
THE VANDALS ARE IN THE CAPT.
TOL OF THE NATION. Corruption
s'bo,ls, and bubbles. and o'erruns the Stew
in every Department of the Government.
The liberties of the people are in danger.
They must awake form the 'deceitful slum-
Der Of selfsecurity. They must grid on
the armour Of freemen. They must
march forward in the majesty Of their ma
tive strength: assert their own rights and
privileges-OverfI the tables of the
vile m"ney-changers at Washington; and
they will thus save their firesides from pol
luton and destruction. The Editor does
as firmly believe that the election of Mar
tin Van Buren, would corrupt and destroy
the republican purity and simplicity o.
this Government, as that he has at thi:
moment an existence in the land of the
living. He will, if his life and health i!
spared. exert his humble energies to pre-
vent this great moral and national evi
from falling upon his beloved and native
country. And he now calls upon his ole
Jackson friends, the true Democracy o.
the State.) with whom he has stood, hanc
to hand, and shoulder to shoulder, IN tbs
great battle for the defeat Of Adams ane
CLAW in %, to Join and rally around THE
STANDARD OF THE CONSrITU
TION, that better times NAV come, anc
better men may rule.
