From the Statesman.

MIR. MEDARY: - Every whlg in this
section Of the state is rejoicing at the
present hard times. They say, il times
only remain as they are until the next
election, they are sure Of carrying the
state for Harrison they may be right
for as i: has been truly said federalism
rises as ojf country Sinks" they will
try BY every means in their power, TO
deprive the laborer ofthe means Of sab
sistance-the debtor Of the means Of pay
ing his debts-and in short, 10 destroy
The confidence Of every voter they can
reach 10 our republican government.
But there is another old saying which
occurs to my mind, truth is mighty and
will prevail > and what are the facts? 1t
is that the wings or federal party in O.
hio have the means in their own hands,
Of making times good or bad as they
please; they have The control Of every
bank and moneyed concern 10 the state;
they have their three hundred and up
ward directors Of banks, to the demo-
erals sixty, and to get a pretext for re-
insing to accommodate the people, they
have, in several instances, sold the sil-
yer out .f their vaults 10 brokers, and
money spectators, for their own per-
sonal gain; and then turn round and
charge the whole to the democratic par.
": but will not these acts Of baseness
nI he eeen and undt trslood by The people?
] think they will; aud they will put the
saddle on the righ. horse.
! would ask what is 10 be gained bv
putting the federal party in power with
their United States Bank? / remember
when they had the pnwer, and the bank
in full operation, ,ha, ] sold -four in the
C,nc,nna,, market, for two dollars aud
25 cts per barrel; some by the hun
G,ed weigh, for 81 l,2 cts. and was
compelled, in order to make sale, to
take horse from horse from the
,eam. and take the -four half mile on
TO The residence Of The purchaser. The

remember q kind Of currency we had
about these days, il was not Urbana

five quarters cut out Of dollar, and five
fps out OF a quarter; around piece o.
silver was good for the sore eye and as
for the yellow jackets. never saw one
until ! was . veats of age. What has
been the state Of our country slnce the
CONNIE cemen, Of Gen jatkson's aj-
m,nls,ra,ion, and that too, without the
Wing Monsler2 ! said without tive
hud n--bu, we had It in the same wa,
we had the torres in the Revolutionary
war, with all i,s means turned against
and endeavoring to ,hwart every meas
,ure of the government and the people.
But, notwithstanding all the opposi
ton ofthe federal brawlera, we, as
people and nation, have prospered unde
our cratic plan of doing things

prices OF produce and labor, and tn
Or, sperity fevery branch Of American
industry, for the last eight years, an

democracy with its prosperity, for fed
eral rule.
