ITSELF and its tones ATE but the death knell Of |
WhIggery in, this county. Messrs. Geiger,
Corbus, Caboun, Light, snd.several others,
were leading whigsln 1910. some Of them
prominent stump speakers, and their TeuuneIa-
ton Sl carry dismay aHd chagrin TO the
hearts Of their late Wing associated Cheer up
Democrats country can yet be, saved,
if every man but do his duty. Push on The

TO THE HONEST WHIGS OF $780,
Fellow Cnizsns--Have we not arrived at a
crisis in the history Of our county, that de-
mands the setous and candid consideration,
of every rejecting clIzenl In reviewing the
scenes that have been enacted since the COM
mencemsnt of the present administration, do
we not see many things that should .rouee US
to action and mskeyus fearful Of the future
prosperity of our beloved country? In the me1l-
orable campaigu Of l64O, we had bul one in
leresl at stake, but one object 10 view, which
was the ihsppiness and prosperity Of The A.
mercan people--eqqal laws and equal rights
10 all men,. With these principles at heart We
supposed that we, had found in the whig party,
those men, (from their Oft repeated promises
who would best serye,io carry out the princi-
pies we advocated. We were lhus induced to
give our influence and votes 10 those men, But
how have our hlgh-raised expectations been
reslized2 Has that prosperity been restored TO
| our country, which was promised on the ele-
yation Of those men 10 poweri Has the Ad-
| minlstration been restored 10 our country,
| which was promised Oh the elevation Of those
| men 10 power1 Has the Administration been
restored to its original simplicity and purity, as
in the days of .Jeffelson and Madisonl Have
| the public expenditures been reduced--has
public confidence been restored, and the COM
mercial and agricultural interests ofthe coun-
try been revivsdi Have legislative abuses been
reformedl Have we sound and healthy curr
rencyi These, with many other evils under
which our country appeared 10 be aboring,
were au 10 be removed by the accessions Of
The whig party TO power. 7,,,,r,-7 .....-.,
u But what have we wiinessedl Congress, TO
which the people were looking with high ex-
|
and what did they do, to relieve the People2
| Nothing but one continued scene Of disorder
and confusion has reigned in the halls Of Con-
gress, since their FIRST assembling Attempt
after attempt to head The president and make
political capital for the great humbugger,, Hem
ry Cay measures brought forward and advol
Gated, which, if permitted to become laws,
would hang like an incubus upon the energies
and enterprise Of The American people. A u
nited States Bank and high, protective tariff,
have again and again been endeavored TO
be planned upon US, notwithstanding the re-
peaied declarations, previous to the election,
Of Gen. Harrison and Mr.. Tyler that they
were opposed 10 both, and the pledges Of the
wings that the compromise act should not be
violated. The Administration Of The Govern
ment, instead Of being restored to its former
purity, has been rendered doubly intricate.
The public expenditures have been increased
and we now have a debt Of thirty millions
hanging over us, with the united efforts Of lh'
wing party yet TO distribute the proceeds o
the public lands, and their refasal 10 unite on
tariff bill that would be in accordance will
The wishes Of the American people, and thei
efforts 10 defeat The President ln the faithful
discharge Of his duty. Already has the inAu
ence and example Of the federal members il
Congress began to be felt throughout our Lam
]! The Federal members Of The Ohio Legisla
ture have shown how ready they are TO do III
bidding Of their masters, and unite in th
universal effort to rule or ruin, by resignIpg il
the midst of important legislative bus ness
and leaving that body without quorum, wbil
our citizens were expecting relief from the pas
ssge Of the appTaisement law, and The Ia,
giving relief TO laborers on the public works
as we'll as the law Techariering the solver
specie paying banks on sound principles. W
do hope that this act of the federal membeu
will receive the JUS, condemnation Of ever
free and republic citizen, and tba. The traitor
will fully rspsAeths day atha, they took thi
first step towards revolution and anarchy il
the state Of Ohio. Z. Nss" q" ''.Da.'

abuses that we cannot here give in detail, We
The undersigned, citizens, Of Holmes county
and supporters Of Harrison in 1910, do here

federal wing party: But President Tyler doe
