report and THROUGH evil report in the cabinet Ia Con-
gress and in the country, have counseled sustained
and carried out, these great measures OF ue'erase
for the working men and their Government
Yes, we know them well, and we shall not fail to
remember them for all their kindness to US
LIST. We shall remember MIR. Van Buren,, who,
while he Processes such great devotion TO the interests
Of the poor man, establishes system which he and
all his followers admit, will reduce his wages, and
bring him on a level with European bondsmen.
ID We shall remember Thomas III. Benton,
ther professor Of love for the workingman who showed
his devotion to their interests by selling his specie and
paying them in paper deprecated ten per cent.
3D. We shall remember James Buchanan, who
said Reduce eur nominal TO the real standard OF
prices throughout the world,t and you coun
Try with blessings and benefits"
These are some of the men on whom are told TO
rely" and who set themselves up the exclusive
friends of the working man Who else2 Why, Amos
Kendall for whose character for truth and candor
refer you to the Extra Globe, and to his Working
mans Address, in which he advises you not to elect
lawyers to Congress the State Legislatures, while
at the time he asks you to put larger the
Presidential chair where he exert ten thousand
times much influence as in State Legislature Or
in Congress.
Mechanics, will you trust your interests to the care
of such men as these Men who openly ayow prin-
cpes hostile to you in particular and who habitually
give the lie to their professions. Be not deceived by
their hypocrtca professions in your favor. They
gulliraps to gain your favor and support. Per
sona aggrandzement and the spoils Of office Is their
only aim and to retain them have seen the Pres-
dent himself denying his words and resorting to
miserable equivocation to shift from himself the
sponsibility Of having recommended to Congress
scheme to get military control unprecedented in our
history. 1t was but the other day saw the Secre
tary Of War refuse information TO your representa-
tves which he afterwards furnished to the editor OF
the Globe without any hesitation. This shows the
devotion of the whole clan to their Chief and is fair
proof Of corruption in high places. Do not believe
their professions of friendship They false friends,
and stab with a kiss.
Above all do not allow yourselves to be drawn from
the true issue by the hue and cry about British gold
British Wings" british credit system" end the
baeful picture of starvation and want, to which you
be reduced, if you do not vote for Van Buren,
Kendall, Buchanan, Benton, & Co.
When General Harrison nominated for the
Presidency the administration presses simultaneously
The old stale story of the petticoat' duly set
FORTH and quickly disproved insomuch that they are
ashamed to mention it. Then he was called
coward and every effort made to prove his victories
defeats. The British press took up the tale and
ulted in the admissions" of defeat and bad manage
ment of our officers. History fasifed, and the
Illuminating spectacle presented of Americans at
tempting disgrace their country in the eyes of
the whole world When the friends of reform pro-
duced unimpeachable testimony to disprove these base
SANDERS they abandoned them with reluctance, NUT
tering Certificate candidate" thus showing their
willingness to receive the truth, and their determine
ton to retain spoils and power at all hazards The
next charge brought against General Harrison was
that of concealing his opinions he was represented
in the keeping of other men, imbecile, weak,
doard sc. But all these ISLANDERS Jared the same
fate with the former. Gen. Harrison is address
ing muttudes of the people of his adopted State, and
would to God every freeman in the Union could see
him. and hear from his lips the refutation of the
low, vulgar stuff spoken of him by the tools of power
Being thus driven from all their positions, and find
ing all their fasehoods disproyed, they change their
tack and last resort endeavor to shift the ques
ton from America and General Harrison to Great
Britain and Daniel Webster, and hence find these
glowing pictures of British degradation, British OPP
preston British banking, &c,al paraded before the
eyes of the woIkingmen, in order to hide the true
question from their gaze
What want is: A sound banking system. No
reduction Of ,oages., No GOVERNMENT BANK. No syS
tenn nhich giues gold 10 class and rags to another
The liberty 10 capital please. No direct
tdration ofpersonal property.
Fellow workingmen, remember that this admins
tration 90 for the entire abolition of all paper money
except what is issued from the Executive bank.
They advocate the reduction of wages
They have established Government Bank, under
the sole direction of the President of the United States
They pay ofceholders in gold and silver while the
mechanic receives nothing but deprecated paper for
his labor.
They have denied US the right to use our money in
way.
They pursuing course which will dry up the
of revenue, and make necessary to
direct taxation to deay the expenses of Government
