are got up with a view to deceive the unwa-
ry, but this outcry of the federalists, that
the Administration is running the country,
is but repittion of the urfounded clamors
raised by them against every democratic
administration since the days of Jefferson
while our country is, all the time, growing
in riches, the public debt paid off, national
and private faith unbroken; our flag, public
servants, and institutions respected in every
cline; every thing presenting lovely pic
ture of smiling content and happy prosper
ity, except the wailings of disappointed fed
eral facionists.
ReSOlOed-That the assertion of the fed
era,isis in this county, that the present Ad-
minislration have attempted to reduce the
wages of the laboriug portion of our popu-
lation TO l2a cents per day, is as destitute
of trgth as the famous letter 10 John Binns,
in 1923, assuring the author of tho Coffin
hand bills that the bone and sinew of the
democracy of this county were for John
Quincy Adams, and against General Jack
son.
ReSolUed-That we will oppose the elec-
fion of Gen. Harrison, the Federal candi-
date, TO the Presidency, because he voted in
the Senate of Ohio, TO sell white men into
slavery, for debt;
Because he says, in one of his own let
ters, that he joined, in early liCe,an abolition
society, in Richmond, and that he is still
an atolitionist.
Because he is in favor Of an odious pro-
perty qualification, to entitle a man to the
right Of suffrage, and while Governor Of
Indiana, signed law by which every citi-
zen was compelled to own fifty acres Of
land. to enjoy the right Of voting;
Because he held office under John Ad-
ans, and supported the infamous Alien and
Sedition laws
Because John Quincy Adams said, tha;
Of all the beggars for Office under his
administration, VIM. II. Harrison was the
most troublesome, and the most inportu-
nate -
Because Gen. Harrison meanly endea-
vored, IN every manner, to injure Gen.
Jackson, from the time OF Jackson's ap-
pointments as Commander-in-ChieC Of the
army, until the expiration Of his late Presi-
dental term;
Because he voted for John Adams, and
late, for John Quincy Adams, in preference
10 the hero Of New Orleans;
Because he is in favor of National
Bank.
| Because he has suffered three federalists
in Cincinnati, to take charge Of him, as an
idiot;
Because he is the candidate Of the party
that attempted to prevent the Inauguration
Of Governor Poiter,in order 10 prolong the
second "reign of terror"
Because, he is the candidate of the same
party, who marched armed men, with buck.
shot and ball, into Harrisburg, by command
of condemned Federal Governor, and al
tempted to make representatives legislato a
the point of the bayonel and a, the cannon's
mouth,
Because he is the candidate OF the SAINT
party, who failed TO Tighten Democrat!
with buckshot and ball, and are now endea
voring to cajolc them with log cabins an(
hard cider.
And because, finally, he is the candidate
of the same party who condemn the people
deny their supremacy, hate democracy, snc
go for favored Interests, and privileged
classes.
