The Ohio Democrat. [volume] (Canal Dover, Ohio) 1840-1900, 1843-01-05

The aspects changed, and likely for the best.
Though bad indeed fur :. Harm Of ftls-Acst.
The Wings have keeny felt the promised "ChGngeT"
1t came across their "Spirs dream quite strange;
BY Democrats the change was brought about,
The COOns have been put sorely 10 the rou.
This great result has mainly been achieved,
By freewen of our country who believed
Their right to gOuern was the only one.
Thus much promised we will our rhyme run on.
The Wings in Congress me, 10 iory-one,
But while there, very little work was done;
old Time was killed in various ways,
Fighting, drinking, riots, duels and plays,
Racing jockeyiug, bullying, gambling,
Or at fsticufs each other handling;
Thus did the members spend the peoples time
Living in luxury and ease quite fine.
But see, two members upon 'ute course,
One runs against the othef with his horse;
"Sir, that's an insult won't you apologisel"
'NO Sir! Not easy Take that d--n your eyesl'
Both are iusulted--but which is 10 blamel
One strikes the other smartly with his caRej
This must he settled in "ansther way"
At it the members 60 without delay.
Friends interfered 10 cut matter short,
And here the farce ends, which seems SO cruel
Without resorlng to any duel.
A Bankrupt Act and other odous laws,
Were passed. to aid the Federal cause.
A National Bank too, they tried 10 get
But Tyler's ustosd all attempts as Vet.
The States Apportionment they forgot to fix,
Or else, from gross neglect-po matter which.
: Thus have these worthless tried 10 legislate,
Disgracng Nation, party and the States,
Caring no. how they act, or do, or say, -
So they receive their dollars eight per day.
This caused our State to call an Exra-session,
Which to the Wings has proved dire lesson;
And while there, they such acts did perpelrate,
As ne'er before were heard ofin the State.
Much business had the Democrats in view,
The poor to ad-but not favored few,
Extending charters for the solvent Banks,
Who, for thoir frmness have the peoples thanks
Appraisemsnl law to pass the poor mans right
Not 10 extorl from him the veriest mite
Appropriations make-the men to pay,
Laboring on public works from day to day.
Base men were found in Legislative Halls,
Seeking their own, but not thes cOuntrys calls.
With tratrouS plot proceeded farther still,
The business ofthe State to stop at will
Folled in their Gerrymandering o'er the Sate
They left their Seats and gained the peoples hate.
Tom Corwin, to the traitors lent his aid,
For which assistance, he no doubt was paid.
Boldly disgracing his most sacred trust
Saying "OficiaL Information" have he must.
Shall we, people owning freedoms laws,
Seek to sustain such degraded causel
Heaven Forbid such men should lift voice,
Or find favor in their country's choice!
rhc sober second thought" Of honest men,
lIas led them to asser, their rights again,
y The Peoples voice is heard from, with no abate,
bIn Democratic notes from State to State
e The choice they made to represent their will.
VA OF men who will with truth each office fill.
Now Swarthy Tom from Office is relieoed,
And his "Oficia information" he's received.
X Ohios sons. then hail your favore choice,
shannon your Governor, elected by your voice.
f8Whose talents tried, whl full success insure,
y And evils now we feel will find cure.
The evils brought abou: by whig misrue,
To man lesson taught n wisdom's school;
Cur country feels distress on every side,
Though pienteous harvest spread both far and wide,
We ask, what is the cause Of our disresss
Too plain the reason we must all confess;
Wild Speculation ran throughout the land,
Distress and Ruin followed hand in hand;
Men must retrace their steps to Reasons road, ..
And learn with truth the Democratic code,
It's steady rules will surely guide us true,
FIVE its dictates and ito path pursue; m sas ..
No low, ro mean, nor se6h act mbibe, -
Let all your actions be devoid pride @
A noble spirit show. base cunoins shun,
blameless honest course oil aim to runs
Democracy deghtsin Truth, avoiding error,
With every sordd, wicked act togeheri
Motto The purse it lOoks-but to the hearti
To him who acts through life an honest part,
Equality rights It's standard holds 10 view,
Humanity and Justice ilG lovers will pursue,
II each man acted on those noble rules,
We should not see so many knaves and tools.
r A Tariff protective has been Whiggerys aim,
The poor mans loss, aud Manufacturers gain,
And for this scheme no means are Ieil untrled
r. EN-, when all olhsrs are quite laid aslde'
