vote, mus, give il to Harrison. lIo Is
brave man, and was never known wber-
ever he has been 10 take penny from his
neighbor or the Government thai was not
! fairly his. We have irod over the same
ground fighting for liberty. HIS father
The was one OF Us in the RevolusionI sigma
cd our Independence roll, and then We ali
weai out together to fight for il, AMI we
proved ii Was true.
| IL appears TO me that this cannot 90 the
same government that our soldiers help d
Washington to put up here. We fought
10 have a Government as different from
any IN Europe rs ~e could make it,
Well, VIC done il, and until lately things
have all gone on smoothly and Europe
was beginning 10 get ashamed OF tho way
she made slaves Of her subjects by max
ing them work and toll for seven cents y
day with standing army over ihem to
iorce Them TO II. But our President now
tells the people that things have gone
wrong since the Old War and that there
are twenty three miserable governments
IN Europe where the Kings wear crowns
the rich purple, and the poor people rags
that we must fashion after them If W,
want to be happy and prosperousi We
had English laws here once and they were
the best IN Europe, but we couldn't stanc
then and we put them under our feet
We used to work for mere nothing then
and we cannot do it again. Working FOL
few cents day may do for slaves but
not Tor freemen whose liberty cos: NOR,
blood than liberty ever cost before: VIII,
The very first thing that started the Ok
: Var Standing Army the King kept quar-
tered on US: We told him We wanted n,
soldiers over US in time OF peace, but h.
refused 10 mind us and saw Lord Corn
wallis surrender up a part Of them to hon
est George Washington. Our Presiden
, now proposes TO have a standing force
what for:-Beware.
Jefferson never asked for armed men {,
{ re.elect him or elevate his successor
: Madison asked for them only in the tim
: OF the late war, and warned the peopl
+, when he left his office TO be careful abou

tho slaves OF Europe. Ambition and 10
z norance on the part OF our Governmen

Q ness and bankruptcy, and given no er
