THE BUCKEYE STATE,


Is rallying her forces in right good ear
nest, says the State Capitol Gazette. Her
people are aroused, and are marching for
ward to the approaching conflict, with zeal
and enthusiasm which does honor to her
true-hearted and unwavering democracy
Some of the largest political gatherings that
have ever been held in the United States,
have recently taken place in Ohio, at all of
which such expressions Of the feelings and
sentiments of the people have been given,
as TO insure thrice-glorious triumph for
the democratic party in that state, and strike
terror and dismay into the monorel ranks
Of federalism. The hard cider" aspirant
for the Presidency, is politically dead in o.
hio. A man who dare not own his prnci-
Piles openly and above board, as an honest
candidate ought TO do when called upon by
the people, is unworthy the confidence of
the democracy of the Buckeye state. He
has but short time longer, however, to
skuk behind a " committee of three" be-
fore he will find to his great modification,
that even in politics " honesty is the best
policy" Ohio is sale-and her safety con-
sists in the Intelligence of her people. Her
majority for VAN BUREN and JOHNSON, may
safely be set down at 10000!
The Ohio papers are filled with anma-
ted descriptions of number of democratic
conventions which have recently taken place
in that state, which tell in language not TO
be misunderstood, that her people are up
and doing. At Mount Vernon, a "Demo-
cratic Young Mems Convention" was held
on the the 18th ult., at which the astonish.
ing number of 10000 persons we're present
all enthusiastic in the good cause. Al
Mansfield, on the 24th ult., there was {
turnout Of 10000 democrats. At Xenia
a meeting was held on the 2lst, which con
sisted of between five and SIX thousand per
sons; and at Dayton, on the 22d, the as
sembled multitude, composed of the hard
isted democracy, amounted 10 upwards O
10000 Are not these things the hardin
ger of glorious victory in October !

In our last we adverted 10 All attempt be-
ing made by few individuals in the lower
part of the county, 10 get up an opposition
TO the regular nominated candidate for Sen
ator. From the information then in our
possession, we were led to believe that
few 6isorganizers would have been able 10
have made some show of opposition, but
we have since learned, that they cannot
drum up any thing more than corporal's
scouting party, composed, of some three or
four boys of Danville. These boys, after
having ransacked several townships for mate
rials TO raise meetings, ,¬ succeeding have
shrunk back into their former insignifcence
which we fancy will be the last we shall
hear of them until after the election. Boys
should tarry at Jerico, until their boards are
grown, before they handle edged tools.

We have received the proceedings Of a
meeting held some where in Liberty town
ship last Monday, recommending jaime M
request for their publication in our paper
We cannot comply, as the proceedings are
evidently nothing more than the overlooking
Of the gall on the stomachs Of few Whit
fets in Danville. The meeting could not
possibly have been Democratic, as we do
no; see the name of a single Bimeyer at
tached TO the proceedings. No better test
is wanting.

Why" said young lady to her father,
" do these blawling wings call the demo-
cratic party, loco-focos - my dear, you
know,the wings assume new name every
two or three years, and by giving the demo-
cratic party new name they hope to rob
them of their true one, and thus carry their
point, all other names having failed them.

The Keystone in speaking of the general
Administration, says, "The federal whig
party cry out "change ~ "change !" "Van
Buren, is ruining the countryn' Now how
stands the facts.
Since the democratic administration of
General jackson and Mr.. Van Buren, came
into power, the saving, to the people, by the
reduction of taxes on tea and coffee alone
amounts to more than $29,O0O,OO0!
Tho reduction Of taxes on articles con-
sumed daily by the people, amount to more
than 100 millions
The government has acquired near hun
dred millions Of acres Of land by extinguish-
ing 10y purchase) the Indian title,
Our commerce has been extended, and
there is not port in the civilized or barba-
rian world, visited by the Europeans, at
which our ships do not trade. The conse-
quence Of which is the increase of trade, ,and
demand for articles manufactured and pro-
duced by our farmers and mechanics.
The crops throughout the land have
proved plentiful, instead Of being cut off
with pestence and other evils invited and
prayed for by the great federal leaders,
The prices for produce and labor are good,
and there exists not reason why any
should complain, which can be traced to the
effects Of the manner in which MI. Van
Buren, administers the laws of the coun-
try.
Why then do the federaIists desire a
change!
Because with Mr.. Van Buren, they have
no influence, neither can they find place
in his administration to res: their weary
feet, and dip deep into the pockets of the
people for share of the money Of which
their peerless friend, Swartwout, so largely
partook. With an imbecile old man like
Harrison for President, they would have
glorious times.
The Norlh-bend hero has promised not
to veto a bill passed by Congress. Then
would MIR. Clay get up bill giving eight
or ten millions to MaysviI!e road, Mr..
Webster one TO build fort in Massachu-
setts, John Bell to make road through
Tennessee, ,and a host of others would unite
and lob the Treasury of millions under the
guise of Internal Improvements. PreSi-
dent Harrison would veto none OF them. -
O, no, this federal tool would let his party
reward themselves. But Mr.. Van Buren,
is the person who must first be removed be-
fore these darling projects can be carried
into execution.
The change is desired by as hungry set
of teaches as ever fastened themselves upon
a public treasury, and for no other purpose
than to iIl their pockets from the money
drawn from the people in the shape of tax
es. No good reason has ever been given
why the people should desert Mr.. Van Bu-
rem and vote for Gen. Harrison. Until
sufficient reasons can be given why a
change should take place, the great body of
the people will preler.a President who has
advanced their interests, and administered
the laws in manner honorable 10 this great
nation and credilable to himself and those
who support him.

One of the run.Iers Of the disorg anzers,
on Monday last, while attempting TO ge! up
n meeting in Hemlock, to aid M'Mahans
election, stated that letter had been receiv-
ed from j. S. Ingram, urging the bringing
out of third candidate, as Mr.. Hsadley
could not be supported in Schuylkill county.
Upon leaning this fact, we Immediately
wrote to Mr.. Ingram as 10 the truth OF the
statement. After part of our Impression

The Notice, which we publish below,
come TO US in a slip from the Office of the
Dauville Intelligencer, and, as therein re-
quested, we give 1t to our readers for what
il is worth. With the signers we are per-
sonally unacquaintsd, las we assurdly are with
their motiveS We shall Therefore not m-
pugn the truth OF their assertions; but we
must be permitted 10 say, that it looks rath-
er singular, that three men, who have here
tofnre taken but little part in politics, should
all at once, take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of bringing before the public
candidate for the Senate, against the regu-
lar nominated candidate of the party, with
out consulting any person upon the subject.
TO THE PUBLIC,
We, the undersigned, in order to disa-
buse the public mind, and do justice to GER
tain individuals accused Of attempting to
excite division in the Democratic party in
| reference to the Senator, take this method
OF informing all interested, that we are the
! authors of the announcement, and that we
acted without consulting Petrikin or Best,
and that we brought out James M'Mahan
because we were dissatisfied with the NOM
iuation, and honestly believed that three
ourhs OF the Democratic party were dis
satisfied, and our opinion has been only
strengthened by further observation.
We ask Mr.. Webb to do us the justice to
publish this in his paper.
