PRACTICE vs PROFESSION.
The following law passed by the present Leg
islaturs, will appeal at once to the understand
ing Of the poor and unfortunate in Ohio. Fed.
ersiisis preach great deal just before an cleo
tonos their love for the poor, but their practice
is always the vsrss.-While the federal Ban,
ksrs and merchants are suing their debtors and
expressing them in every possible way-sacri.
6cing their property and turning them houseles'
and Supperless out of doors, the democrats step
10 BY the aid Of the law to save the oppressed
and unfortunate from total ruin. This is DEM>
oCRATIC PRACTICE against FEDERAL
PROFESSION. 1t is Democratic Protection
against Federal OPPRESSION. These are facts
which com; home to every mans feelings and
~his ireside, Md can be better understood than
the 'lOg-cabin hard cider parades and mimicry
OF humble life, so disgracsfhl to the shy locks
and federal aristocratS Of the lane. Let the Ia.
boring man read the following law and answer
which party it is that adds most to bis protection
and his interests.
