THE DIABOLICAL REGENCY.

Where envy exists, there is malice, and where
malice takes up his abode, misery becomes
co-reSident. JOINT tenants of the same dweLl'
ing, they drive out happiness beyond REGAL, and
the sun Of cOutenment refuses to shine on tha
habitation. Sefshness IS the master of the
house, and fasehood and detrac:ion are tleser-
wants in waiting. These stand, ready t0'do the

THE TREASURY NOTE Bill

The Bill authorizing the issuing Of five

! SPIRIT OF THE DEMOcR AcY OF OHIO.

4 SIlhl Wv lIlE OISHibNn hC4s sOE OAIlO'
| The democracy Of Ohio are in motion. Pr-
mary meetings are heing held in every. quarter.
A spirit Of funian and enthusiastic devotion to
democratic principles: and a determination to
Gerry them out anal TO triumph over the actions
Of federalism in the coming struggle, PervadeS
all their deliberations.
The people are awake to their interests and
will move on in solid phalanx to the overthrow
Of their opponents. The present is a time when
every true democrat should come forward, and
by decided and VI :orous co-opJration, give tis
support TO the cause TO which he processes to be
attached, While our enemies, with view Of
fitherins tisir own selfish schemes, are endea,
VoriKg by every species of Misrepresentation,
" and the representatives Of the peoples choice
into contempt, we should be wanting in our di-
y, and destitute Of that spirit which should fire
the bosom Of every freeman, if we stand by in
inaction, or adopt only teInpOriSing and mid
die course. The course Of democrats is Isonward,
open aud fearless,-their principles full Of patri-
otism and settled determination to Perpetuate,
as far as in them lies the free institutions OF the
countryside protect them from the assaults ofar~
istocratic corporations, land to preserve the form
and operations of our government in their orig
inal purity. And in doing this, they have TO
combat the hosts of whiggery at every step.
The spirit of the democracy OF Ohiois an
earnest of the coming triumph which awaits
them. Here, great battle is to be fought.
Here is concentrated the strength of federalism
here the fountain from which issue their poi>
soned streams ofeorruption and intrigue. Here,
in this state, hang their bones Of victory. And
here they must be met by the people, and their
tide of destruction rolled back themselves.
And they will be met--triumphantly meteor
the yeomanry Of the state are aroused to the
thrilling importance of the coming contest.
The alarm has heen sounded-the democracy
are upon their posts, prepared to meet the willy
principles in whatever form orrhape they may
come.
Let the same spirit 10 infused into every part
of the Union, and all is well. Meet the false
hoods of whlggery with plain, incontrovertible
facts-tlsir vaganes and assertions with argu-
ments--their soph,ms with truisms-their mys>
tfCationS with things as they are, and tins fac
ton of reckless men, bound together by no no.
bic or patriotic ties-sno great measures to con'
centrate their energies upon e single point, save
q desperate scramble for the spols OF ofhce,
will be overwhelmed defeated -.driven from the

The great contest between man and
