lined a suspension OF specie payments by
700 banking ins,ilutions-and it is the
same which in lS40 promised the peo-
pie that national aud individual prosperity
would Immediately follow the overthrow
ofthe democratic administration.
Such is the opposition which the de-
nocracy of Ohio is called upon 10 con.
front. 1t embodes the advocates ofir.
responsible banking-ihe opposers of
resumption Of specie payments, and the
friends Of an unclaimed moneyed despo.
tism. II is branch ofthe great whig par
ty which promised TO close the Florida
war in six weeks after the induction of
Iwbig President, tits the same party
which ia 1910 alarmed the people with
the clamor of 100000 standing army
and in IS42 employed U. s. soldiers 10
Iiniimidlte the dOwn.trodden republicans
of Rhode Island. Il is The same party
which in 1910 objected to 'proscrpton
for opinion sake"-- and in 1874 remov-
ed four thousand democrats from office.
1t is the same party which In l940 de-
nounced tho use Of blood hounds in the
Florida war-and in 1871 appointed Gov.
Call (who purchased ihem) TO the Exec
utive chair of the territory. It is the
same party who in lS40 advocated a re-
duclon OF salaries and in l64I voted
gratuity of $25 900 TO the heirs of Gener.
al Harrison for one months services. 1t
is the same party whose Senators in Con.
gress in May 1912, refused TO refund

party which in 1910 denounced The need.
less furniture al the White House--and
in lS4l voted the purchase of $4,000
more. II is the same party Which in
lS40 promised retrenchmenl and reform
land in lS42 had increased the nation.
al debt from five 10 twenty-five millions,
1t is tbs same party which, time of
mind, has preached the doctrine of the
inviolabiIity Of contracts--and in ls4l
passed bankrupt act, which in its oper.
alton violated alf million of contracts.
In opposing the selfish political array
which has heen described, the same de>
mOcracy which ever stood by their coun-
try in veal and through woe, will rally
once more in defence of their principles
Amidst The shouts Of ruin and distress, of
clamor and denunciation, which assaied
the administration Of Jackson, they stood
unterrlfed TO tho last. They will again
rally in the consciousness that they are
oppooing party whose master spirits
seek NOT the equality of man, but look
first 10 the interests Of wealth and then
consult the happiness of the people. -
They will rally in support of candidates,
who, whiIst they oppose needless "tarifF
for protection" " will cheerluly vote for
tariff amply sufficient for revenue--for
who, when legislating banks
nto existence, will look to tho safety of
he people first and !hen "consuIt the
sapitalisls''-for candidates, who recog.
nize in the mass of the people, the sov.
sreignty of a nation, and will regard tho
Of all its cil,ze2s as equally wor.
Thy Of legislative consideration. And
with firm reliance upon tho value of
their principles, and reposing entire con-
fdence in the universal triumph of demo-
cratic doctrines, with stout hearts and up
right Intentions. they will enter upon the
with full assurance that with
vigilance, organization and effort, VIC.
TORY will crown their efforts.
