Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1840-11-10

care for him, but we must agree among
ourselves without regard to principles.
s Then Daniel opened his mouth and
spake, land all gave ear) saying, men
and brethren ye know that crossed the
great water and conferred with our
friends; and they are waiting to be gra-
cious to us in our undertakings against
Martin; because they hate Martin, not
only because he is the friend and fol-
lower of Andrew the great; whom they
fear more than Satan; but because he is
one of those that despise British gold,
and British monopolists and British rule.
Therefore, are they ready, with money,
with garlands, with jewels, with broad
cloths, with silks, with devices, with
false charges, (at these words Ogle's eyes
sparkled,) with banners, with vessels
great and small; and all manner Of in
structions and assistance, necessary for
the supplanting of Martin, and tho bring
ing of US back to the rock whence we
we've hewn. And the whole convoca-
ton cried out with loud voice, o Dan
iel live forever! for thy advise is good
and thou dost always judge right; and
they with one voice said, Daniel, speak
on, for to thee we look for advice, and
whatever thou sayest that will we do.
8 And he spake and said, men and
brethren ye know that the time for rea-
son and argument has gone by, and the
ignorant laboring classes must be con-
vinced by their suAerings, who do vote,
but are not capable of fjudging, not even
in ordinary matters; and they gave the
more earnest heed. Now indeed is Vim.
the man on whom all branches of the
party can safely unite. To the northern
abolttionisls is he an abolitionist; to
Rives the Southern is he an anti-aboli-
zionist; although he proved by Catch the
Judge, that he joined an abolition society
in his boy-hood, in Richmond in the land
of slaves; and says he has always carried
out the principles; yea he had said the
surplus revenue should be applied to the
liberatng of kink-heads. In one section
is he bank friend, and in another he
says it is unconstitutional; yet he will
sign its recharter when he is made chief
ruler, if the bankites are the strongest.
10 And now indeed, let it be publish
ed from Dan to Bersheba; that William is
the man of our choice and send chosen
men good and true, to North Bend; that
they may be a body guard to him; for
We know that aforetime, these Democrats,
having the impudence of satan; took up
on them to catechise him-and indeed
he gave them courage by saying a candi-
date should answer questions; but in
struct his guard to say, that he answers
no questions, nor writes for the public
eye, during his present position; and
send heralds throughout the land of Col
umbia, and let them blow the trumpet
and proclaim William King over all the
land of Columbia; from Maine to Mexico;
and from the lakes to the great sea; and
rs they go instruct every one his broth
er. and each one his neighbor saying,
we are no longer Democratic wings, nor
are we national republicans, nor are we
Jefferson wings, nor are we blue light fed
eralsts, nor are we Hartford Convention
federalists, nor are we Revolutionary TO-
ries: But say secretly with an oath not
to publish; that we are the no-party
composed of the gleanings of all parties;
and baptised in bottle or broken jug in
the corner of log cabin, after having ta-
ken a passage in bark canoe, with a
Coon skin sail, and boarded on corn
dodgers and hard cider, to prove that we
are not dandies; therefore are we Ci-
derites.
II And Daniel ceased speaking, and
the air was rent with the shout of o!
Daniel, live forever! as William liveth,
and thy soul liveth, as thou hast said, SO
shall it be done; and they betook them
selves Immediately to the discharge OF
their several duties. .......
IL As for William, he attempted to
return his thanks to Daniel, and Harry
and Ogle, and Davis, and Corwin, and
many more Bankites, who had drawn
close around him-but his eyes filed, his
heart palpitated, the first word, -
III, died on his lips; and he sunk tc
the earth; the high Priest lifted his head
and turning his eyes upon Daniel and
Harry he said family, Secretary; and was
carried away senseless, by Gwyne Wrigh
and Spencer,--and perhaps will nevel
recover the power of speech during his
natural life.
