by corruption and
IInpOsture.
Read the suboined letter to the edl-
tor Of tho St. Clairsville (Ohio) Chron-
iclc, from citizen Of the greatest Ic-
spectability-who stood SO high in the
esteem Of the friends Of the Admins
tration, that, at the very date of the
letter, was a member Of two Of the
principal committees of the Van Buren
party Tor tho twonship in which he re-
sides. lie was a committee man Of
Correspondence and a committeeman
of Vigilance. The facts he states are
| from his own observation, and from the
statements of men who yet continue
firm aud steadlast supporters Of the
spoiIsmen and corruptionists. Attend
to these disclosures, fellow-ciiizens-
all yc good men and e,-who, ,disdain-
ing partssnshi p-and having no per-
sonal objects to gain-only y engage in
political discussions, or take a part in
political controversies, because you de-
desire an honest, enlightened, and ben
eGcial administration Of your Govern
ment. Let every friend Of public lib
erty notice, and ponder upon the owl
dencc which is here given, that agrand
plot has been laid to carry the State of
Ohio for Van Buren by the most enor-
nous CORRUPTION and IMPosTURE.-
The sum Of TOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS has been obtained by tho ad-
herents Of this Federal Loco Foco Ad-
ministration, which will be devoted to
the purpose of securing the votes Of
all the laborcrs on the public works
Then there is to be systematic and
simultaneous raising of the price Of the
produce all along tho line Of the canal
created just in season for the election
with the view of getting up belief
that the policy of the Administration
has no tendency TO lead to n reduction
Of tho value Of property, or Of the
wages of labor! This bears imposiure
stamped on its very front and, in re-
sorting to so pitiful Il trick, Mr.. Van
Burcn and his supporters have urnish-
ed to all observing and intelligent men
the strongest evidence that their real
design is 10 KEEP DOWN the prices Of
all those products in which our hard
working, cntcrprising, and active fel-
low-citizens are concerned-thatt their
plan is TO IMPoyERIsH TIE PEoPLE,-
and then proceed, by successive steps,
to subdue their spirit and energy, and
overcome their patriotism, and make
them. the willing slaves of a cunning,
unscrupulous, proligate, and usurping
Executive.
Mr.. JOHN G.. CALHOUN, in n letter
addressed to the Wings Of Petersburg,
in 1885, which was imbued throughout
with the strongest feelings of indigna-
ton, scorn, and loathing towards the
"Rogues and Royalsts," as he used to
call his present allies, said" To prove
corruption and abuse, but strengthens
the Administration in the affections Of
that POWERFUL AND DISCIPLINED coRrs
which is the MAIN sUProRT Of those in
power. We rejoice to be able to pre-
sent evidence in the subjoincd letter,
that although the orrIcE-uoLDERs may
be cementcd together more firmly by
the cohesive power Of tho plumber of
the public, the PEoPLB will have moth
ing to do with n party that employs
such base means to carry into effect its
designs and purposes.
