tanned the asccndaucy in the Legislature OF North Ca
foina, and elected their candidate Tor Governor.
We regret that the limits of this address VIII not al

State. 1t would be well, however, for the Democratic
candidates fer the next Legislature to bring these at
fairs before the peopelet them procure the Journals
of the last LEGISLATURE and read from them to the peo
ple-there they will see Wing policy, Wing exlrava.

PROMISES CoNTRtSTED WITH PRACTICES.
/ The people should keep in mind the promises OF the
Wing leaders in iciJ and contrast them with their
performances in l>Al-'42. They then told the people
that the Democratic administration had brought the
"hard tines on the county, and they promised If

would lake place. thai property would increase IN
value that prices would r,sc mon"y become plenty,
and general prosperity spread over tie land. tn"
people placed confidence in these promises, and elect
cd General Harrison and ru, Tie Wings in power
The question IS have they verified their promises:
All know that ttcy have not. Money is scaTccr,
prices lower, distress more general, tunes harder now
than when the Wings cane INTO power. The people
then have been disappointed and deceived, and The de-
ceivers make satisfactory excuse oT IT, One OF
twn th.n:s is certain: al the time they made Their pro
