.... ADDRESS. ..t
Fellow citizens, your Committee having
been appointed for the purpose of drafting an
| Address to The citizens Of Warren Township,
deem it unnecessary TO Say any thing regard
| ing the lines Of demarkation which separate
| The two great political parties Of this country,
they being long we'll established, as we'll in re.
gard to banks and the currency as in respect
to other great national subjects. esay an
expression of opinion on these questions by
Democratic meeting is altogether uncalled for,
were it not for the extraordinary and unprinci.
pied efforts making by the Federal party
Some reckless persons who have heretofore
acted with the Democracy, to produce disorder
and dsunion in the Democratic ranks. by per-
verting and msrepresentIug the legislation Of
our late General Assembly, on tho subject Of
Banks and the Currency, as we'll as the snb-
iect of Dislricting our State. at the extra ses-
sion. Whilst the Democracy Of our sister
States has loudly approved of what one calls
"lhe first great triumph Of legislative wisdom
and purity over Bank requires, corruption and
the advocates of an irrcdeema5le paper cur-
rency," and another, IAN example of high in
tegrity and heroic lorluce of that great State
which seems determined to assume The post OF
honor on all the fundamental points Of the
Democratic faith, whether they relate to The
rights of individuals, or the preservation Of Ihe
Uniou," and yet another, that the Democra-
cy of Ohio deserve all praise for the example
they have set. of frmness, independence and
attachment TO sound principles. When others
have fatered, wavered, and proved recreaut,
they have proved true, and in The face Of clam
or and intimidation, have dared TO execute jus.
tice against Bank Power. That their success
will be as complete as the moral tone Of theil
acts have been elevated, will be doubted by nc
man who believes "honesly TO be the best poll
icy, in public as well as private Offairs." We
say notwithstanding these are the upiyeTsa
sentiments Of the true Democracy Of our els
