What have the Wings done since 1910? They have
| created national debt of thirty millions. They have
violated millions of solemn contracts between debtor
and creditor. They have rendered the nation bank
fupt. They have dlsgraced themselves and their
country. They have Importuned one President TO
the very door OF the tomb, and covered another witt
reprvaches, curses and excavations They have con-
| tlnuay quarreiied and fought among themselves
They have withheld the wages of labor. They have
confused exchanges. They have deprecated the cur
| fency, and destroyed driven from the people a
sound circulating medium. They have eaten out the
substance of the people and rendered the times still
more oppressive. They have by their legislation re-
duced the price of the farmers produce They have
augmented every where the distress Of the people
In Short they have not fulfilled single promise which
they made TO the people in 1910
What would the Wings do in 1842 and 43, if the
People were to renew their power In the General
Government precisely what they have done for the
eighteen months last past viz 4" clear the way for
henry Clay by heading Captain Tyler with Bank
bills In the Legislature of Ohio, they would Of
they could borrow the capta-unless they should do
they have often done, to wit bank without capi-
tall create State Bank-instead ofpaying-increase,
an hundred fold the State debt-they would lend
their power to tax the Ohio farmer for the benefit of
the manufacturer-they would do all they could to
| rob the laborng man for the benefit of Wing dcma-
gogues and partisan nabobs and what they cannot
make answer these general objects, they will omit as
usual, even at the expense OF the violation of Wing
promises
Who responsible for the non-fulfllment of the
Wing promises of IS40 is John Tyler No Be-
cause he has fulfilled the promises VIII oh he made in
1910, and violated noneno not one, which the pre-
sent Wing Congress dare then make. Because
they agreed, in the Harrisburg Convention at which
Harrison and Tyler were nominated, that they would
not make the Bank question the issue that they
would suppress that question! This Clay Wing Con
gress, has refused neglected to pass laws for the
relief of the country, and not John Tyler to sign and
approve such laws
Should the Wing party re-obtan power this fall
on renewal of their promises, who would be re-
sponsble for revelation of them We answer,
the People who confer the power They have de-
ceTed the people once, they are to blame if they
deceive the people again, the people are to blame
Keep these things before the people
