Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1840-11-17
THE STANDARD.
GEORGETOWN, NOVEMBER II, 1870.

As frequent inquiries have been made
with regard to the continuance of the pub
Ucs,,op of the Standard after the election,
we have thought proper in this manner
n assure our friends and the public that II
;,iplepded TO make it permanent PublI-
cation. This was the design at the COM
mencemeni, and nothing has occurred 10
discourage the undertaking; but on the
contrary, the patronage already extended
,lI s,imulde US to increased exertiOns
IN mike the Standard an efficient demo-
cratic journal, as well as an interesting
and valuable family newspaper.
The Standard will continue TO advo-
cato the political principles Of the great
democratic party, which have been so
ably supported by Jefferson, Jack
son, and Van Bureu-three Of the
most profound statesmen the world ever
produced. As the leading measure by
means Of which these principles are TO be
carried into effect, it shall support the
Mndependent Treasury" and oppose
United States Bank as its antagonist and
as destructive Of republicanism itself
1t shall support simple aud economical
administration of our public affairs; and
oppose extravagant expenditures for in
ternal improvements, ard all other con-
commitaDts OF a splendid government
and beggaTd people. 1t shall advocate
equality of rights among our citizens and
oppose that krd of legislation which en-
riches the few at the expense OF tho ma
ny.-engenders envy and discord among
our citizens--discourages industry, and
ultimately entails misery upon people
which otherwise might be prosperous ant
happy.
In view of the unhalowed means re
sorted to by the enemies Of equal right
for the accomplishment of their selflS
ends, our exertions in support OF our ire
institutions, which they arc striving I
overthrow, should be redoubled. Polite
should form a part Of the instruction
Youths, so that when they become OF III
ape TO have a voice in public affair
they may be governed by reason, and nj
swayed by the sophistry and Turing P'
geantry of demagogues, nor persuaded
sell their birthright for mess Of pottug
Let all good Democrats lend their aid
disseminating correct political principle
and the reign Of federalism in Ohio WI
be- of short duration.
The Standard will contain an accour
Of the proceedings of Congress and OF tn
Ohio Legislature while in session. III
long winter evenings will afford tarme
and other laboring men ample Opporiun
ties to read aud investigate the condu
of their public servant; TO watch 'Re'
and see how their actions in the leglsI
tives halls comport with their ProtessIo
before the election. The wings, who
now in power in this Stale, have Proms
to make money more plenty. We ha
no objections TO their flooding our stree
with gold aud silver; but we earnest
protest against their Withdrawing the p'
cious metals from circulation, and subs
tuting in their stead that which will
