Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1841-08-17
For the Democratic Standard.


Nh. PALMER: have examined your
paper every wsek, expecting 10 see it fill
ed with communications from the pens
of distinguished writers, appealing to the
Democracy, and exhorting them to meet
the ''enemy," but in vain; no pen has
broached the subject; AID have very un-
willingly come to the conclusion to do
it myself, being well aware that it is
subject that my abilities connot do justice
to. To me it is subject of surprise,
why political writer's do not call the Dem
ocrats to rally their broken ranks, and
rush to the "sceue Of action.'' Why do
not they meet the now reduced State Of
Whiggery in one solid phHlanx, and break
through their unguarded front, now, while
they are rendered careless BY their late
snccesS. Let uS unsheath our swords
charge with confidence, and victory will
perch upon our banners. The Abolition
lists are discontenied with Whiggery and
determined to vote for their own men
hereafter. The psopls begin TO see the
tdIsencSS of the promises made by the
present Administration men, prev ious to
the late Pres dental canvass. They be-
gin to see the cringing meanncsS of the
"GOd- like -Danicp' 10 the British Power,
and, that The Federalism of ancient days
is revlving within his bosom, and they
will soon hurl him from hia station, and
send him off TO the white and chalky
cliffs Of England and then let him coop
crate with British Tyranny and Petteeoat-
ism as much as suits his most Memorable
pleasure.
Every circumstance is favorable, and let
us not shrink from the glorious task Of
eXpelling from the halls ofoffice band
o(exlraVagant marauders, who are drain
ing every cent of publ cmoney from their
respective treasures, 10 quench their
thirst for riches and power.
Let us make one bold and undivided
stroke TO recover our liberties from the
bonds Of serVlily, and the chains of OPP
preston. Ii we strike boldly in defence
Of Democracy; the countless legions Of
Whggery will fall or fly before US, and
victory will be ours.
The wings are already in the field organ
izing their scattered factions in hopes 10,
bring force sufficient into the field to-
oppose the now indignant columns OF
Democracy. Our cause is daily progress
ing; people are enlisting under our ban
nOrs, and loCkiug to our Standard, as we
march onward IN our course to harl from
their seats the present Admin nistralion.-
Then shall the British Statue (Webster)
be hurled from it's peaestaland thrown
out with crash that shall resound and
reverbrate throughout the Isle of Briton;
and Democracy proud majestic Democ-
rIcy shall resume his rightful seat asa
guide TO our nation, and as \ beacon to
others.
Awake Democrats! Arouse Your
selves from your deathl;kO trance, and
fly TO the rascue of civil and religious
rights; the long impending danger Of
your country is about 10 burst 70 rthfrom /,
the clouds ofsmoke and fire that have so.
long Obscured it. II will soon fash on
your eyes with gigantic greatness. Exert
yourselves; and immortalize your names
by firmly establishing true Americans at
The head of your Government, and save
The Independence of your country which
your Fathers first obtained by many
years Of hard fought battles; and then,
but not till then, shall the spirit of De-
nocracy "go forth as spotledS in beauty
Is tits immortal in being"
Respectfully, Yours,
NoBILITAs.
