! Does the reader recollect certain resolution

Immediately after the publication of the pro-

he fool hardness of its authors, and we now on

party may SEQ what dependence there is to be
placed upon the solemn assertions OF those no
assume to lead by the nose, the loco party of'Od
Wayne" That Mr. Whiicomb is opposed TO ALL
/ BANKS, is nothing more than the tendency OF
the measures Of the partv with waiea b. acts.
and the demagogue may deny Il as much as he
peases, yet the honest loco will say tina, he is
oppo sed to all Banks and all paper money!
The ma iorty Of the "leaders'' are afraid to say
that they are opposed to "all Banks" blu, Mr..
Whitcomb takes the lion by the name, and enters
the field for fair fight. The Wings take the is.

paper money, against "an exclusive metallic cur
renew" Mr.. Whitcomb may advocate the latter;
bn, The people will go for tho "same old coon OF
40" who advocates the former.
viii Mr. Whtcomb have the independence to
declare honestly and independently his hard mo
new doctrines when he shall visit us? What
would our locos say, if the candidate Of their
party to attempt to promuigate such

brarado resolution quoted above? Bu, Mr..
Whitcomb will suit his speeches TO the audience
he addresses He will not dare 10 express such
opinions in cold Wayne" he has on the Wa
bash. He has played the demagogue too long for
that: md we ask the reader TO recollect this,
when Mr. Whitcomb shall make speech in this
place.
