Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1841-01-30

fore us resist the conclusion that if Gen. Harrison
should be elected, THEN, as NOW, he would be UN-
DER THE CONTROL, GUIDANCE, and DIRECTION of a
JUNTO composed of FEDERAL1sTs, bank-men
tariff men, internal improvement men, and BLUE
LIGHT ABOLITION MEN-all of whom, in sENT1-
MENT, PRACTICE and FEELING, are VIOLENTLY oP-
POSED to the good old plain democratic doctrines of
Jefferso. Madison, and Jackson. e And
whereas from recent Developments, WE FEEL OUR
SELVES WARRANTED IN DECLARING that if Gen.
Harrison ever had any claims to the Presidency he
has MORE THAN FORFEITED THEM by his course of
DOUBLE DEALING, in keeping up SECRET
CORRESPONDENCE with the northern abolitionists,
calculated to IMPRESS UPON THEM the belief that
he is in favor of the DEATH LIKE measures of that
fanatical sect, and AT THE SAME TIME writing to
his friends in the south DENYING THAT he is an abo-
litionist-placing both of these parties under the
STRONGEST INJuNcTIoNs Of SECRECY, and charging
each party not to p any Of has letters in the papers,
And whereas we regard the professions now gotten
up by the Wings, of canoes, log cabins, cider bar
res, bald eagles, coon skins, Harrison images. and
all such like things, as going clearly to prove and
establish the fact that 1t is for the rant Of some
thing more substantial in the Girl qualities Of their
candidate to recommend him TO the people, and is
also evidence conclusive, of the estimate which
this party puts upon the virtue and intelligence of
the freemen Of this country and their capacity for
self government Therefore be it
l. Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, that
our every days experience only goes further and
further to prove the INCONSISTENCY and DEPRAVI-
TY Of Whiggery.
2. Resolved, That we see nothing in the move
msnts of the Wing party but desire, under a
FALSE NAME, to revive the old doctrines and
principles Ct so aud 1900, and 10 place in potoer
men who are opposed 10 democratic principles.
3. Resolved That the course and policy recon-
mended by the leaders of the Wing party at the
Harrisburg convention, and which is now being
followed up and advocated by the various factions
throughout the country, that is the support Of their
candidate for the Presidency without ana PUBLIC
DECLARATION of The principles by ,ohich he wiH be
governed, if elected, is UNWORTHY OF HIGH
MINDED, GENEROUS AND FREE PEOPLE, and deserves
to be rowned upon by every true lover of his
try.
4. Resolved, That the policy adopted by Gen.
Harrison, of giving out to the people his determi-
nation not to make any further declaration for the
public ege, rhile AT THE SAME MOMENT he caS urit-
ing SECRET LETTERS to all parts Of the country,
holding out set of opinions to the abolitonists
in the north, another set to the FEDERALIsTs in the
south and west, is DEGRADING and HUMTLIAT-
ING IN THE EXTREME, and loudly calls for the Exc
GRAFTON Of every freeman.
5. Resolved, That we have NO FAITH IN THE
HONESTY and GOOD MEANING of a party
'cho looks toay and acts another-wh, PRETEND
to be gorerned by principle, while they suffer their
chief to SNEAK and SKULK BEHIND MoNGREL
COMMITTEE OF FEDERALISTS AND ABoLlTIoNIsTs."
This language cannot be misunderstood,
and that denunciation would be mild which
would compare it to malice and desperation
boiled down. Indeed, we doubt whether
its parallel can be found in the Extra Globe,
or in the annals of the entire civilized
world.
Having complied with our promise, of
grouping together the most notorious and
fragrant efforts of the Register and Receiver
to control the public voice and bear down
the public opinion, we come now to the
doctrine of removal" and the manner of
its appliance. Happily, the public is not
left in doubt, as to the opinion of Mr.. Van
Buren, and his followers, sparing as he did
neither age, condition, nor public services
of the highest order. A new era, however
is about to dawn upon the country, during
which public officers will be required to
stand erect in the face of their fellow
men, and feel that allegiance is due to the
people alone. A rule will be adopted, in
the adjustment of which partizan and sell
fish considerations will be discarded, and
men in the employ of government will be
expected to furnish the equivalent of their
salaries in public service, leaving to the
people the free choice of their representa-
tives. But that no doubt may be enter
tanned of the opinions of Messrs. Sebree
and Boon upon this question, and of their
previous willingness to apply the lash, we
copy a paragraph from the address of the
democratic State convention, of which NJ.
Boon was member, receiving his appoint
ment from Maj. Sebree. 1t can be found
in the Democrat of November 6, 1889, as
follows:
"The NOTORIOUS HYPOCRISY and INCONSISTENCY
Of the FEDERALTsTs are in no instance MORE sTRIK-
ING, than III their abuse of the administration for
REMOVING FEDERAL PARTIZANs FROM OFFICE,
and appointing democrats in their stead. 1t has
been WELL REMARKED, that to RETAIN an actire
political opponent an office Of confidential char
dcter rs sort Of POLITICAL SUICIDE"
But we turn with real pleasure from the
contemplation of the SANDERS and asser-
tons above recited, to the pure principles
of President Harrison on the question of
official insolence and interference. which
