CIVIL WAR RECOMMENDED.
Two Of the Government papers are urging upon |
the people to resort to cidH toar, to prevent Gen.
Harrison from being installed President, provi
ded he should be elected We request every re-
aecting man to examine carefully the extracts we
give from the Globe and the Albany Argus, and
then ask himself If we have net cause for great
gratitude and joy, when we contemplate the awful
condition into which our country must have been
plunged, if the administration had been continued
in power, which could retain such organs, and en-
dorse such INSrRUCTlONARY DOCTRINES
The Globe says:
"What are to be the consequences Of an cleo.
ton contaminated, in May Of the States, by in
famous frauds, which can and will be proved?
Will the people submit to such an election?-
Suppose il should be proved that enogh Of the
electoral votes were controlled by fraud to de(ea:
the election? WILL THE People SUBMIT? or will
they assemble in their respective States and
DECLARE THE ELECTION FRAUDU-
LENT AND VOID?"
Here, the official organ of the President, after
having virtually admitted that Gen. Harrison will
be elected, asks his party "if they will submit to
such an election" "Or oA they assemble in the diff
teren States, and declare such election pod?"--
Is not this open and daring Invocation to rebeA-
ion! The Albany Argus, the organ of Mr.. Van
Buren, in New York, seconds the reasonable sug-
6osiphS vi tue blOUe' II SayS'
"ORDER, PEACE, TRANQUILITY, are
BANlSHED and those who cheerfully submit to
the will OF MAJORITY, constitutionally ex-
pressed, will RISE, in their WRATH if the
spirit OF the Revolution is not extinct, to resist
10 overcome and to prosrate the iactous and
fraudulent rule Of a conceded MAJORITY -
The Locofoco papers throughout the country for
the last month"; have been filled with charges of all
sorts of frauds upon the Wing party. The leaders
of the party have discovered that Van Burens de-
feat is inevitable; and they have resorted to SANDER
-forgery-subornatio of PERJURY, and every infa-
nous scheme that could be invented, to induce their
followers to believe that Gen. Harrison's election
would be the cause of corruption and fraud. In
New York city, men holding some of the most i'm
portant Offices in the gift of the President, have Of
fered most tempting bride, nay, have offered
to divide their last crust" with a member of the
Wing party, if he would perjure himself, and testi
fy, under oath, that some Of the prominent men of
his own party were guilty of bribery and fraud -
They have instituted extra judicial unauthorized
courts, and dragged before them numerous individ-
uals, hoping to elicit extort from them some
kind of answers that would give color TO the infa-
nous charges,
The Mayor and Recorder of the city entered t he
dwelling Of Wing, who had taken an active part
in eleclioneerng, at the hour of midnight and with
a recklessness and disregard of all law, character
iStlc vi highway rOOOeTS, SeiZeu upon and carried
off the whole OF his private papers, with the vain
hope of finding something to sustain their nefari-
Gus ISLANDERS.
In the midst of these base attempts at misleading
and poisoning the public mind these attempts at
inducing the whole Of their party believe that the
Wings are the most corrupt and vile men on the
face Of the earth, and that Gen. Harrison will be
elected by fraud bribery and corruption, the official
organs of the administration come out in the lam
guage have quoted. and call upon their party to
assemble and declare the election VOID, and NOT TO
BE REGARDED. Fellow-Ci,izens, pause and ponder
this matter. Suppose for moment if such sup
position be possible, that the whole of the CHARGES
made by the Locofoco papers are true, what then
Suppose Gen Harrison to be elected by fraud what
course would every citizen recommend, ,cho de-
sires to preserre republican form of government
Most unquestionably it would be to submit the whole
matter to the legal investigation Of the proper tri-
bunal for deciding such questions. This course
does Rot suit the leeches who have fastened them
selves upon the treasury and power of the govern
meEt They know that the whole of the infamous
charges they have made are without shadow of
foundation, and that with all their perjury and
forgery, this would appear before an intelligent
tribunal under n cool and candid examination. Ii
is for this reason that they attempt TO deceive mis-
lead and inf1ame their partiZans.
They do not wish the matter to be submitted to a
cool and deliberate investigation. They know thew
would be overwhelmed with infamy and disgrace,
and they seem to entertain the vain hope that their
party are base and corrupt enough to sustain the
present rulers in their places by open Forces in this
foolish supposition they DO injustice to the great
majority Of their party; but no man can tell what
might have been the state of feelings at the end of
four years from this time, if present rulers had
been permitted continue the exercise of their cor
rupting influences. Look at the suggestions of the
Globe and Argus in their naked deformity stripped
of all verbage; and what they? Nothing less
than proposition to subpert the whos Of our cherish
ed inst!utions-to trample the elective franchise in
the DUST and by a resort to mob violence and civil
war, to retain Van Buren, in office, UNDER THE
NAME OF PRESIDENT, WITH ALL THE
POWERS OF A DESPOT.
From the Ohio Statesman, October 3Oth
sour boased freedom is burles que, and THE
SOONER THE PEOPLE ARE FOUND WITH
ARMS IN THEIR HANDS AGAINST THE PER-
IURED uSURPERS, THE BETTER"
While we read and reflect on these exhortations
to violence, let US recur to those made here, by
cur Congressman and Prosecuting Attorney, to for
eigne!s to WADE TO THEIR KNEES IN BLOOD,
TO OBTAIN THEIR ILLEGAL VOTES!!
