The Ohio Democrat. [volume] (Canal Dover, Ohio) 1840-1900, 1842-12-22

Because we beat Kirk Patrick in getting out The Pres
idents Message, his low q groveling spirit could not
acknowledge it without al the same lime masking cow
ardy attack on one of our Democratic citizens. Wit
ness the following from the Advocate:
.l1he Club were more favored-they received il
(the Message) earlier, and set their Printers to work
on Sunday morning" .-....
'Booz says. it is ''he best message that emana-
ted from Whig President" Jefferson Madison, and
Monroe, are of course cast in the shace. Mr. Tyer
has the giving away Of the Offices -and man who ex
poets to dip his into the official dish, must 60 far
her than merely say it IS The best message that
emanated rom Whg Pre- ident." - He must put The
blarney on the President thicker than that or there
will be no more appointments of Military Inspectors to
West Point from about these parts Mr.. Tyler will
want folks say that he not only writes The best Mes"
sage but that he is The best man for the next Presden.
cy. Ifyou put the blarney on to him, he must feel
the butter running down his back, before ne can do
any thing for you that.
The remark about Club" is beyond u.s. We are
governed by none-nor know of any except the "Buz.
zard Club of Federal Office holders, and office seekers
round on Federal street. who live tit bits out ofhe
County treasury and drink balm tea for dinner. They
were given the name OF Buzzard Club, by an old
Wing of Wayne tp, because as he said, they were like
so many Turkey Buzzards on dead horse, keeping
up devil Of "cawing but never doing anything ex-
ceps punderng the peoples taxes and cheating honest
industrious wings out ofhe fat offices. This is all the
Club we know of-and we think it has very appro'
pirate name, albeit il was given by awhig
He next travels out fhs way to attack private citi"
zen who has no more to do with this press, or with
wha, says than John Tyler himself. We can, thank
God attend to the duties of profession ourselves
We fear no one and ask no favors anybody on this
score. Kirk Patrick knows all this-and yet when
opportunity offers he msrepresents language, char
ges others as being the auhOrs-anG then imputes to
them base motives In the paragraph above, he chars
ges our remarks the Message, to another person
says he wishes to so soap Tyler in order to get an
appointment Our readers may judge Of the correct
ness ofths wretch charges, when we tell them that
the person alluded to, never saw the Message, the
remarks we made on it, until he read them in The Dem
ocrat But wha! of thatl The old convicted libeller
looks not to the truth alsitY, ofany charges All
be studies is how 10 slander and deiame private char
acter, and then the means justify the endS This has
been his course for twenty and become SO much
ahabit that he can neither live be happy in any 9th
or atmosphere.
Kirk Patrick's taunting US with working on Sunday
il too hypocritcal to deserve notice. Whether it be
true or false, this much we say with clear con
science. We never kept our press running on Sunday
striking handbs slandering and defamIDg the public
and private characters Of our fellow citizens. We new
er haunted doggeres, drinking and debauching Sun
day-we never spent The Sunday in playing cards, no.
were we ever akenup kept in custody Of an Office
on Sunday, charge Of --'-. If the Ol'
