slares Us in the face, that constitutional legisa-
ton in Ohio is at an end. The State will then
be in a condition of fearful aud actual revoIu-
ton and who can forete the dreadful conse-
quences2 Who can calculate the horrors OF a
civil war, Of resort to violence among brelh-

condltlon-her bright fame to be dimmed, her
noble institutions TO be Frustrated, her fair fields
to be stained with the blood of her best and
bravest sons, and the wild and deva stating tor
nado of civil war 10 sweep over her best and
dearest interests
The Democracy of Ohio have taken high

smile upon their efforts. la this memorable
contest of thrilling aud animatlng interest, they
will cover themselves with honor and rescue the
proud and gallant young Empire OF the West
from impending danger They will stamp this
first, earliest, aud daring attempt at revolution,
with the deep and enduring stigma of public alb
horfence; and they will confer a boon of I'M
speakable value upon our common country, and
upon the great cause of human liberty through
out the world for. let the revolution in Ohio
once receive the sanction OF her people, and who
will control the mad and iendish spirit Who
will stay its progress? Who will put bounds
TO its rash and indiscrminate havoc2 Let vir-
tuous and enlightened Ohio approve this first foul
deed, and what State will be saved from it and
what protection will the American Congress
have against its fearful aggression If the Lee
gislature of Ohio can be broken up by an act of
treason, why not every other Legislature of the
different States In the Union, and why not the
American Congress
The revolutionary movement Of Ohio is preg-
nant with momentous consequences, for good
or for evil if at once stamped with infamy by
the good people of that State, all will be well if
encouraged, look out for civil war, confined per-
haps to Ohio, perhaps in its ultimate operation
and influences involving the whole nation in
ruin. Let all good men every where deprecate
the success of the foul spirit Of anarchy and re-
voluton in Ohio, and let the friends Of liberty
every where cheer on the noble Democracy of
Ohio in protecting her from disgrace, and the
cause Of sef-government from shame.

CREDIT.

BY statues enacted in every State of this
Union, it is made highly penal to offer in pay
ment private blnk bill or nofe for money pay
able to bearer
In England, the most commercial country in
the world, it appears that such notes form part
of the currency, and are treated by the courts of
justice as money. Credit is more restricted in
this country than in any other savage or civil
lied. Indeed, looking at the long list of sta
tut which we have passed, from time TO time,
on this subject, i, is obvious that we have been
beset by legislative monomania, like that
which for centuries beset the British Parliament
on the subject Of the exeecise of the Catholic
religion These cases are parallel in other re-
spects they, to promote religion, determined TO
extermnate Roman Catholics. We, to promote
CREDIT resolve TO prevent its exercise in its
most natural and useful form. They shudder-
ed at the mention of Papsts, though more nu-
merous and ancient sect than themselves. Our
bank Legislators get into towering passion with
the heresy of private paper, though in common
use, no doubt, centuries before banks were ever
thought of. We have learned that Roman Ca
tnoiiCS may Ue Sdieiy toieIdteu III TIE eAcrClse OF
their religion, but have got to learn that all men
may be tolerated in the exercise of their credit
Ii is much to our glory that religion, else
where an establishmentunde Government con-
troll is left free with US to individual choice. 1t
is somewhat to our shame that credit, elsewhere
Throughout: the world comparatively free, is with
US shackled and restricted with thousand pen
alties and prohibitions this all done, 100, mere
ly to build up the fortune of the banks, and TO
give us the worst currency in the world.

"MEASURES, NOT MEN"

:" So, so," said Clay Wing neighbor to us
the other day, "you are coming out for Tyler,
for the neat Presidencyw After demanding
an explanation, and learning that he drew the
inference from the favorable notices we have
taken of the Presidents acts, we answered the
gentlemen" Sir, so long as we have the con-
troll Of the Eagle, it will be our aim to support
measures, not men," And so we answer to
all who may think there is too much said in our
columns in behalf Of President Tyler We
have taken no notice of the great efforts made
by many Democratic presses to bring forward
some favorite son of the democracy for the
g succession" We have thought their course
impolitic-not that we opposed to either of
the men named by them-but that, for party
processing to make ''principles, and not men,"
It's guide, the time is entirely premature for the
selection of candidate. And, we will here
state that, being guided and prompted by the
same orthodoxy, as we conceive, above men
TONED, we would no more declare at this time
that we will not support John Tyler for the
next President, than we would now pledge our
sell certainly to support any particular man. 1t
behooves every Republican democrat and well
wisher of his country TO look well and consde-
rately at the affairs of the present day. Fede-
ralism in its most odous form has lately been
upon several occasions within a single step of
ENGRAVING its power upon the Government: and
each time, the President, with nobleness of
mind and degree Of firmness which few men.
even of our boosted champions, could have ex-
celled has raised his protective voice, and in ac-
cordance with his constitutional right demanded
of Congress to reconsider the matter, thereby
preventing the passage of those bills. unless
two thirds of the Peoples Representatives
would vote for them. And are not the results
OF all this Of the greatest-the very greatest
importance 10 every democrat at this time
Has not MIR. Tyler completely fortified the
MEASURES near and dear to every true democrat?
aud is not he still Captain in command and
can therefore further defend the barricade-
Croghan like,--or, break up the camp--bnrn the
provlsions-and, ingloriously flee from the foe
who will then step in and take full possession
And, we ask, having such a man at the head of
our Government, is this time for democrats
TO stand aloof and not recognise the immeasur
able good he has done for the cause of demo
cracy, or is this time TO ALLEVIATE the feelings of
the people from him2 We trust eyerv demo-
crat will give these questions due consideration:
and not be IN too much haste in DECLARING onno |
sitlon to a man whose acts and principles we
as democrats, obliged to applaud and alb, |
prove.

THE VETO.

The Great Western, Capt. Walker arrived thu
morning about halEpast four, from Buffalo. Wear.
indebted 20 friend for copy Of the Detroit Free
Press, oi Monday evening, containing the fourth
Veto OF President Tyler. We have perused aud re-
perused this paper and We find nothing in il 10
condemn, but much 10 admire II Is manly straight
forward document, ard contains none OF the blem-
lshes that have dsfgued Of The pr, yious MESA
yes of the President
This veto IS most whitening rebuke TO the unprin-
cpled men that compose the majority in Congress
II porrays IN vivid coors the inconsistency of that
majority and throws upon them a load of response
bility that IT will be hard for them to shake off when
they come before the people. The course which the
Federal majority will take upon the veto in connec
ten with their past acts, will, opine show what
party II Is that abors to bring about partisan objects
rather than attain ends that tend promote the pub
lie veal.
We ask for the Veto AN attentive refusal from
every one OF our readers. Here in the West where
the evil effects of the Land Distribution feature of the
vetoed bill can be seen and understood il needs no
comment to have the justice and wisdom of Capt
Tyler appreciated. Again, we repeat, let every man
into whose hands this may fall read the Veto Mes
sage and If II does him other good it will al least
open his eyes TO the dishonesty and demagogui.m
OF the federal majority in Congress, who have in
trying to head the Captain, headed themselves.

From Hills ", II. Patriot.

Mr.. Tyler, in manning the fort at Rhode Island
with lew companies of troops, al time when there
was danger OF lnsurIectiOn and bloodshed, did only
what he was required by his oath of Office az what
every o her President must have done M s.ch an
emergency. His m'asnre was intended only as a
measure of precauton which he owed To the integrity
Of the Union and the Government; he author zed no
interference with the existing polite Il parties in
Rhode Island while they maintained peace within its
borders-ie lett them 10 settle their own affairs The
United States had property and interests to be pro-
tected in Rhode Island. Those ntere,ts were pro
tected by he course President Tyler saw fit TO pur-
sue If vengeance is now invoked on him both by
the reckless men who InglorIously reiIeated from the
ground upon which they had volunteered aud the
SAgerinrs" of Rhode lsland--he President has
been most unfortunate.
Had President Jackson been in the position Of Pre-
sident Tyler, what would have been his course p
Reading from the Constitution his duty he certainly
would have done no less-he might have done more
What was the { use of Old Hickory when South
Carolina presented almost unanimous Va ce against
an odlous and unjust Tariff Had she less Justice
On her SIDE than the Patriots Of Rhode Island

THE LOUISVILLE JOURNAL.

This once spirited and witty journal has fall
en- far below the standard of responsibility II
has descended from the high and honorable POI
sitIon of the patriotic and argumentauve politi-
cal gazette, TO deal in the low and foul epithets
of personal abuse. No high-toned contempora-
ny ventures to copy its scuullous paragraphs,
and consequently II can neither afford amuse-
ment nor qualification to any one, save the
coarse inebriate tenant of the obscure bar-room
No man, who is not dead to all the better emo
tons OF his nature-whose principles and habits
are not at variance with all the decorums and
proprieties of life-can regard with any other
feelings than those of loathing, contempt, and
disgust, the vulgar ebullitions OF the besotted
rufiian, which may assall him from the way
side. Such is precisely the effect produced by
the vile assaults OF the Louisville Journal on
the editor of this paper, and, we may venture to
say, on the Pre- sident, and every member Of his
Administration.
As far as we are concerned, we do not regret
that the Journal pursues the course indicated
above. We cannot personally dread the conse-
quences of its unworthy conduct; nor do we re-
greet IT in political point of view. We have
no fears that Mr.. Clay will ever reach the Presi-
dency by means of such champions. We may
safely conclude that no moral and reli gious COM
munity will ever elevate a man 10 the Chief
Magistracy who selects, countenances, and sus-
tans such an organ for himself and party as the
Louisville Journal.
We cannot conclude without confessing that
Mr.. Pren,ss, (although we never saw him, has
often elected our admiration for his genius
Nature bestowed upon him her richest gifts. 1t
is pity that they should be so perverted We
would yet rejoice TO see him abandon his igno-
bic and impotent attempts to injure or affect his
political opponents by the mere employment of
vilifyng terms, and combat those with whom
he differs solely with the manly and proper wea-
pons of argument and truth.

REFORM AND INFRINGEMENT

Well may the retreating Wing members of
Congress seem crest-fallen After doing all the
evil in their power to the country, they turned
upon themselves and played havoc with their
own prospects They have secured defeat and
disgrace TO themselves, and utter humiliation to
the Wing party. Having possession of the
Capitol twelve months out of the last fifteen,
without accompli ,hing any good for the coan-
try, they found it necessary to retreat to their
homes, covered with confusion and dismay.
And this is the result of the iniquitous war
waged against an honest President! This is
the end of the twelve months Presdent-making
legislation! So end the hopes of Mr.. Clay. He
thought and said the President was " weak, va
cillating and fathess,' and adopted his plan of
operations accordingly. Being mistaken in has
man, of course all his calculations failed He
now finds himself completely defeated, used
up" before the real contest begins. 1T IS NOW
SAID he WILL BE WITHDRAWN BY HIS OWN FRIENDS.
They are now looking about for a substitute to
prop their crumbing party. Clay ha, failed
them.
But let US look at some of the reforms of the
Clay Wing Congress. While their housing
committees were hunting down the little print
ing patronage incident TO the Presidential Office
since the days of Washington, with the coward
ly intention of robbing their enemy before fight
ing him, they were, at the same time, ex-
pending thousands of the public money in
printing and disseminating etectiOneering re-
ports the country. Their object was to
strip the President of all his patronage but that
appointments, hoping the latter would not be
used until it was too late.
After taking the public printing from the
Madisonian, they passed proriso to an appro-
priation bill, requiring the job printing all over
the country to be advertised and given to the
lowest bidder. The advertising alone, will cost
more than the printing amounts to! This
away from "Captan Tyler" and that was their
sole object. For such ends they prolonged the
session to such ruinous length. No one can
deny this. 1t is obvious to all that every bill
proposed or passed aimed directly or indirectly
at the heading of Captain Tyler" Not one
act was designed solely to benefit the country
Now let US count the cost of thi, business.

OHIO.

The contest RACES in this gallant State with
almost unexampled ferceness. The advocates
of revolution and anarchy have taken the field,
and seek to justify the infamous and revolu-
tionary movement of the traitor members.
We have fallen indeed upon strange and evil
times. Ohio, young and powerful State, with
virtuous and enlightened and enterprisng
people, system Of popular education of supe-
rior excellence. with magnificent and profitable
public improvements, productive and fertile
soil, in word, with all the elements, to an I'M
usual extent, of State prosperity and greatness,
and OF individual comfort, pursuing her career of
prosperity and order, i, suddenly astounded by
the violent commissions of revolution within
her borders, and the lovers of law and Of peace
every where aroused to- contemplate this
surprising and alarming spectacle. Ohio, sud
denly arrested in her onward course of great
ness, and in her rapid march 10 her high hesliny,
is made the unhappy theatre OF lawless misrule.
The struggle is an animating one. The evil
must be met; and the friends of order in Ohio
are up and doing to suppress the spirit of revo-
luton, that has reared its head among them
-No ""''et "ua' may nave Deen the Cnarac-
ter Of the District Bill as sought to be adopted
as law by the Democratic party, it cannot
justify the late revolutionary movement That
bill, according to the vote of 1910, gave to the
Wings 13 Federal Districts out of the 81. This
was certainly fair and generous. But if it were
not, can treason and revolution be justified If
that bill had become law, and was obnoxious
and unacceptable to the People, there would
have been nothing to prevent its repeal next
winter Would not this have been peaceful
and legal remedy? Is it not the usual and the
only remedy in such cases2 Has il not been
found to answer good purpose and to correct
hasty, or lmprudent, or unjust legislation Ger
ta'nly this was the legal and only remedy
But where will the revolution end If the
People can be blinded and misled, which God
FORBID so as to return a majority of Federasts
tothe next Legislature, will the Democrats of
the next Legislature, although in the mine rity,
SIT quietly by and suffer the Federalists to profit
oy their own wrong, and impose upon the Peo-
pie OF the State an odious and unjust District
Bill Can the Federalists complain if the De.
mocrats should follow their example. and nv =
