"Striks ~ name from he Notiingham.Est."
Mr.. Sher@ard, whose usms rs given in,he
communication below, is one Of tho most res
specublc and iphuentlal cltizenS Of = Zinesyle
and his son, alluded to in the article as having
also left the Traitors and their treason, was,
in l6i0.41, wo understand, one of the whg
county centIal committee, and s'fong and
lhgenious stump speaker. He has publicly de-
Iclarsd himself on The side ofIhe democtacy,
and is using every exerlion 10 put down all

Bowen, who violate their oahs, aud Etrsmple

' WHIGGERY ARRAlGNED.
Voters of MuskiDgum county, We poin'your
attention TO The following communication from
the venerable John Steward, a aTesPectable and
Intelligent citizen Of this town, and one who
has always heretofore acted with the whig
party. Like hund reds Of others in GAINESVILLE,
and throughout the whole county, Mr.. Shew-
ard has become tired Of supporting party
who profess onething when before the people
asking their voIes, and when they get into pow.
or dc the very reverse Of what they promised.
Mr.. Steward has been arragned in the Ohio
Republican for having deserted the whg par
", forsoeth because he refuses 10 give his
sanction TO the high handed conspiracy of The
wtig members Of the Ohio Legislature 10
break up the government Of the State, and 10
sustain the action of the whig leaders in Con-
gress. He claims to be, as he has ever been
whg Of '76, and arraigns the Whg party for
desertion Of the principles Of the wings of
that day. He proposes to join issue on that
question, with his assallant, fhe take up the
guanllet
For the Zanesvilie Aurora.
Mr.. EDITOR:
10 reading the Ohio Republican saw Q
communication signed 'Whig,' acknowledg.
ing that there were two who had turned their
coats in political matters, "a father and SON.
The writer Of that article considers it neces-
cary that hypocrisy should be thrown of, and
open, fair grounds taken.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as for the son have moth
ing to say, believing him capable Of defending
himself, but do wish to:saya word for my
sell tnIOuSn your CoiunnS'
The name assumed by the party Of 'Whig..
!, for one. was willing it should be adopied'
as it was The name under which our fathers
bearded the British Lion in bis den, and bold-
ly stepped forth in defence ofequal rights and
equal laws. For ihoseprinciples, 80 far as 1
understand them, | am determined, as have
done heretofore 10 stand up in vindication and
supper. of them. l do state boldly that the
Wings have trampled under foot nearly all the
great measures advocated in lS4O.
They have denied the right Of Petition by
voting it down on the floor Of Congress, or
dodging the question, after repeated promises
to the contrary,
They have voted gag law, thereby pre-
venting The exercise of the right of discussion
which is, 10 my opinion, one Of the safeguards
OF our institutions.
They deceived the people in 1910, by de-
clariDg The U. 8. Bank question was not the
issue-the assertion Of their opponents 10 the
contrary notwithstanding.
They deceived the people by stating in
1910 that high proteciives tariff, was not the
question at issue.
Now. sir, if the person signing himself
'Whig' will come out over his proper sigma
ture. am willing 10 join Issue with him, by
undertaking to prove by facts that the party
have left the principles of ls4O, further Than
have ever. ! hold il to be sound policy in 9
government like ours, 10 shape our course ac-
cording to the position we are placed in b.
ourselves and the civilized world, not that pu
ny, selfish principle which operates on, and c
tua,es the minds OF some in their minor ant
| local circumstances.
JOHN STEWARD.
