FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO,
DAVID TOD, of TrumbulI.
THE DEMOCRAT.
WHY THE OLD JACKSON MEN CANNOT
...- SUPPORT CLAY. @

the old Jackson men who supported Gen. Harrison will
also support Clay. Vain illusion! Clay will no more
receive the votes Of these men than old John Adams
were he living For these reasons He is lederalis;
he advocates all the monsous doctrines of federalism
He contends for mpnstrous monied power as did lhe
old federasts of Hamillon's lme He wants to build
up in this country, privileged classes and wealthy
arisocracy, just as the cid federaiss did, He advo.
Gates the same system Of taxation and oppression
which the federasts have been tynng 10 fasten upon
the people from the formation Of our Government. He
contends that British Bank and British tariff ought 10
be established here to keep the people down. He is
supported only by the old fedeaists in The advocacy Of
these measures, All the Hartford Convention fadera>
lists now living are urging CIay's election. Why be.
cause he believes in e. would fputnto power carry out
their oppressive and monarchical doctrines. Can any
0ne deny this Then are not these reasons enough to
keep all old Jackson men from his support-can they
ever support such leader Of federalism Did they ever
follow such man-no, nor never will. --
But again. all the leading fedsralists who urge Cay's
election are the most bitter revilers of Gen, Jackson,
and have slaudorsd him for the last rs years. Can any
old Jackson manany friend Of the Old Hero ever be
found side by side with the slanderers and evers Of
that good old.man Why did they sander hint because
he opposed and put down their federal oppressive doc
rrines and with the people drove them from their high
places And now when these same fedsralisls are a.
gain endeavorng with Clay to bring forward all their
old Anti Republican British doctrines, which Jackson
opposed and defeated is it not insult to ask his old
friends and supporters who stood by him in '29 and 49,
TO Join in and establish which he opposed as
dangerous 10 the liberties Of this couny 1t is insult
both TO the old Hero and the millions who rushed to
his aid in those fearful times Federal ism was the same
ahen ss in 1900, the then now, and old Jack
son man fail to it-and seeing it never be
found battling in the federal ranks.
There is another reason why ole Jackson men cannot
support Clay. BY corrupt bargain and sale with The
federal son of John Adams, Clay cheated Gen. Jackson
out Of the Presidential chair after the people had dos
'ignated him as their choice No old Jackson man Can
fail 10 recolect with what adherence he heard Of this
damnabie act OF corruption and vainy upon The peo.
peS rights. The people and expressed their in,
dsnaion at lhetime in such way that it never can be
forgotten. And yet the federal leaders who countenan.
ced that Bargain and Sale Of tho peoples rights, now
have The impudence TO ask the support of the very nen
"Hooo tlbuS uOI o"u o9h uo " NOlo
for him who consummated this foul fraud upon u.s. Can
there be found one single friend Of ANDREW JACsKoN
lost to patriotism, scared in conscience, prone
fraud and treaChsry that he i'll ever counenanco The
election Of the who perpetraed this foul act upon
the rights and liberties ola free peo9le
But there is still another reason why no Jackson man
can ever support Clay From the time he cheated the
old Hero out Of the Presidency he has been his most
iuyeterae enemy and traducer He has every Occa-
sion from that day to this, denounced The old Patriot
atyrant, usurpsr despo, and even on one occa
sion went so far as 10 offer uU prayer that this
Try ymiG be visited with WAR with pestlncc and with
.JGmiHs, rather than the election Of Andrew Jackson
We have his prayer delivered a, federal meeting II
Baltimore in 1923. Here il is: @ a5l gr7 ilnN
''IIe would bumby PROSTATE himselfBefore God ant
implore his mercy visit favored land with War
with Famine, with PestenCe, OF with any oihe
scOurge in preference 10 the election Of Gen Jackson!
