Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1843-06-20
From the HillsborOueh Gazette
IN A STEW


The short plain common sense article
of our correspondent DETLA,' published
in the Gazette few weeks ago, has cre-
ated quite a sensation in the whig ranks
in this vicinity. They evidently feel sore
under the exhibition of their inconsisten
cies. They cannot stand the plain un
vanished truth. A mighty effort is be-
ing made TO prove that the Democrats a.
bandoned the position assumed last year
on the banking question. But Whiggery
has failed TO bring the prOof-utterly fail
ed; and must ever fail SO long as the re-.
cords exist. The people were wide awake
TO the issues made before the election,
and TO the action Of the Democratic par.
ty IN the Legislature.
The only question on which there was
any material difference Of opinion with
the democracy, in the last canvass, was
with regard TO the application Of the in.
dividuaI liability principle in Banking. In
the enactment Of last winter, on the
banking question, The principle adopted
as TO Individual liability is substantially
as conlended for by the democracy Of
this portion of the State, and we'll known
to embody tbe views Of the Democracy
OF the whole State and the Union. The
Democrats carried out their principles
fully fearlessly and triumphantly-thsy
gave just such system as they had prom.
ised,-iusi such an one as strict regard
TO justice aud equity required, and now, /,
having performed their duty, they have
nothing mole to do with Banking, except
to oppose any modification Of the pres
ent system that would prove detrimen.
tai to the interests Of the people, and
guard with vigilance and jealousy those
Banks which still remain in exist
ence.
If the question is to be, at the next
election good banks or none, we 60 for
good banks, and shall contend that the
law of last winter will produce them
If the question is TO be Wing banks or
none, we 90 for none. Ifit is to be
hard money or soft, we 60 for the hard.
1t is waste Of paper and Of words for
the whig party 10 contend for the unre'
strIcled, irresponsible system under which
the country has suffered to SO great de-
gree. And 1t seems they are determined
that no other system shall go into Ope-
ration il they can prevent It. In the leg'
islatOre Of last winter, it will be remem'
bered they voted in body and as par.
ty, with a very few exceptions, against
the individual responsibility of stock hOl'
ders; and they have so voted IN every
Legislature and on all occasions, Their
views on this subject are notorious and
we'll understood: The people have ex-
amined the record and will not be do
ceived. This issue has been tried more
than once, and il the Wing party are
willing to risk it again, we say ready.-It
never has called them into power, and il
is much more unlikely TO do so now, when
il is thoroughly understood, than it ever
was before. Ifthe law oflast winter is
impracticable, any honest, judiciouS and
safe system is imPracticable. Indeed, II
will be hard to convince the people that
Banks are absolutely necessary to the
prosperity ofths country, when with .
system broken down and utterly dead,
the produce Of the country the value
of labor and 'roast beef are rapidly and
steadily advancing when the exchang-
es regulate themselves 80 admirably. (.
when the credit Of the State is, If not
quite as .fair' as thai Of Kentucky ;
'fair enough TO PROSTATE all those who
endeaver TO make political capital by
breaking II down.
