on the administration OH account of the
Florida bloOdhounds? ~. ,
Because Governor Call, who procured
and paid for them without authority from
the Government, having lost his Office,
HAS TURNED WING! ~
He tells his new allies tina: the only
real ground of complaint was, that the
Secretary of War ordered them to be
muzzled so that they could not bite and
mangle the Indians!
Yet. honest federal whiggery, which
has so much sympathy for the poor In
dians, while any political capital could be
made of it, now take the author Of the
bloodhound war in their bosoms! Sc
much stronger is their hatred Of the Ad
ministration than their sympathy for the
Indians, that the very men who lift uE
their hands in holy horror at the employ
ment of bloodhOunds, are now willing tc
couple themselves with bloOdhounds
without muzzles to hunt it down.-GlObe

ARIUs NYE, formerly cashier and now
Attorney of the Bank of Marietta, who
was elected on the 18th a member Of
the House of Representatives upon the
federal ticket, is proved BY the following
statement, from two well known and
highly respectable citizens Of Morgan
county, to have declared as early as 1885,
that the Banks would turn down the
screws-that they would apply their
arguments to the pockets of the people,
and dPpLGuded them for doing SOCK.
ulling in the idea that it would bring
himself aud his corrupt party into power
again! See, fellOw-citizens, why the

bent on us, under the circumstances, to
assert that some years since, which, as
we'll as now recOllected, was at the Fall
Term, 1884, or the Spring Term, 1885,
of the Court of Common Pleas of this
County, ARIUS NYE, Esq. in a conver.
sation with US, at Mr.. Adams Tavern, re.
specting General Jackson's Veto of the
Bank Of the United States-the removal
of the DepoSites-Bank contractions-
low prices, &c. sc. did repeatedly make
use of the term "argumentum ad pock-
etum," and stated that this argument,
which was then in the course Of being
applied to the People, would, and was the
only thing which would cause them to
see and feel their situation, and induce
them to abandon the Administration oI
General Jackson, and the Democratic par.
ty. He applauded the Banks for making
use of this "argumentum ad poCketum''
10 the People, and exultingly and triumph.
antly asserted, that this would produce

Administration Of General Jackson, and

We do not pretend to give the precise

THE FAR WEST TO THE WHOLE
UNION.

Fellow Democrats! On Monday last,
Federalism pulled up stakes and sbsquat-
ulated from these diggins. 1t never did
stick out much over a feet, and on that
day the democracy got after it with a
long pole and driV it up to the North
Bend of Salt river. The feds tried to
come 1t for a Congressman, but they
couldn't. They tried to come it for a
federal Council, but it was bad hand
They tried to come it for federal House
but they were sucked. And finally they
got down to county affairs, and they were
licked up like salt. In fact they are used
up--sOwed up--rowed up--and blOwet
up. Democracy is the pole that fetches
the percimmOns in these parts.
Don't tell Chapman. The fellow
might CROW.

ELECTION FRAUDs.-Much has been

inserting leaves into the book containing
the declarations Of the intentions oI
foreigners to become citizens of the
United States, kept by the Clerk of the
Quarter Sessions, to which they attrib'

case, have reported that the books are
all correct. ..

THE ELECTION.

lfthe result in this county is any indi-
cation of the w0y the State has gone,
Gen. Hsrrison's majority will be about
the same as Mr.. Corwin's. Although
this isG large majority, when we consider
the causes we do not despair Of redeem
ing the State in a very short time. Webe-
leivO a majority ofthe legal voters are de-
mocratic; but some of these have been in
duced to vote the whig ticket from local
! g. other considerations, Exclusive ofprin-
ciples) which cannot be brought to bear
on any future election. After more
mature reflection, they will again be
found in our ranks, voting against exclu-
slve privileges and all other favorite mea'
sures Of federalism. Illegal votes have
greatly increased, (ifnOt entirely caused,
the whig majority. This we believe will
not long be tolerated; nor will an intelli
gent and honest people bS found support
ing those who have accepted ORceS oh
tanned by such means.
These considerations and our belief il
the justice Of our cause lead us to hop
