Madison Whig advocate. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1839-1841, 1840-02-01

The loco focos who have been chuck
ling at the thought OF the Editor OF the
vicksburg Wing joining their corrupt
party, may now give over all hoPe-the
Editor has declared his determination to
hoist the Harrison flag SO soon as an
Electoral Ticket is formed. We knew
they were~eckning without their host
that their compliments would avail not
now hear him We humbuggers.
We have never said that we should
ssoppose'' the nomination of the veteran
Ha rrison, and we shall not say 50, on the
contrary we shall to the utmost of our
ability support Gen. Harrison or any
other honest man in OPT osition 20 Mr.
Van Buren, and the gang of plunderers
who have for ten ears been feeding up
on the peoples subsistence The whig
members of the legislature will have n
meeting next week, when they viii give
hearty response TO the nomination of
Gen. Harrison. and select an electoral
ticket pledged to his support, and when
this is done the banner of the Hero Of
Tippecanoe will be found at our mast
head, there to float until the great con-
test of 1870 is decided. When once we
unfurl that flag which was never struck
down in battle, II shall remain, and whe-
Their it be destined to wave IN triumph or
be tramQled in the dust by the foul foot
of loco focoism it matters not. we shall
still be found battling for IL while we
have the strength to WELD pen or aim
a blow 1t is glorious banner, and IN
der it we believe the friends Of freedom
are destined to work out the salvation Of
our country, and bring back the repub-
| lie to what it was in the primitive DAYS
of our fathers. We shall have no OBJ
lection to having the editor of the Adver-
tiser fight by our side- we shall be glad
| TO see him returning TO the true faith.
but if ever he fights by our SIDE he must
strike the piraticll flag under which he
now sails, and run up the broad banner
of the constitution, but until he does that
we can have no fellowship with him
We are where we ever have been We
are warning agaitst executive dictatiOn,
against fraud, corruption and vIlfainy-
We are warning against an organized
system of public plumber, for which we
in vain seek parallel and we are bat
thing, feebly thegkh II be, in defence OF
laws violated and constitutions trampled
upon, and while the editor Of the Adver
tiser maintains the opposite OF al this
by supporting the present corrupt State
and National adminisirati0 - we can
have no affinity OF thought, feeling or
action, and as to @sEaifiRg" with HIM IN
op position TO Gen. Harrison, It IS an
honor, which. however tempting it might
be supposed to be TO one Of cur humble
pretentions, we beg leave '-firmly bet
respectfully TO decline"
General Harrison IS 4 Hero. Patriot
and Statesman, and we shall when rhe
hour Of trial comes, be found where duty
and patriotism calls US. battling N the
front rank. We shall not only be found
struggling for the supremacy of wing
principles, but we shall always be ready
to meet and rePel as every honest man
should, the calumnies which the editor
of the Advertiser and the thousand pen
stoned ISLANDERS Ieagued with him, are
daily heaping upon the SCARED veteran /
who has so often perIlled his life IN de-
fence Of his country.
