They are we'll convinced that the destruction of
this faithful champion Of democracy, was the sole
aim and object of the wings. The many hard
knocks he has given their party and their odous
principles rankles deep in their memories and for
them they are emptying the vials of their wrath
and hatred upon him.
They look upon Col. s., as the foundation rock
OF democracy in Arkansas, and they think that
by knocking him out they will loosen the whole
underplnning aud toss down the edfce of the
party. They consider his political destruction,
as one pint gained in the game. Do the demo.
Gratis think the wings would stop at this pint p
We ask them, do they think that any thing less
than the prosration of the power of the denoc
ic party 10 this State, would satisfy their desires
Has not leading member of that party been
heard to express wish to get down and keep
under the the democracy of the country? Such
q sentiment has been uttered by whig leader in
this county.
Then let the democrats make the ascendencv y
OF their party the paramount question, and not
let tho wings get in power under such half f1ede.
ed pretext. If Col. Sewer is the guilty man thu,
he is charged to be, we can expel him from favor
after giving him fair trial. where he will BE- plac.
ed face to face with his accusers. Are not de.
mocrats as competent to investigate this charge as
wings? Are they not as honest? Is i. to be sup.
posed that democrats will be unjustly partial to
Col. Sewer. because he is democfat? If so,
will the wings be less unjus:y prejudiced against
him Then we call upon the party, let the issue
OF Col. Sewers Investigation be what it may, not
10 suffer the wings to get into power. Let not
the odious principles of their party bs. fastened
upon u.s. merely to obtain their aid to break down
our Senator; if he deserves that fate LEI us do il
ourselves and not place that power in the hands
OF the wings. If they can break him down. they
can break down others of the party and elec,
wings in their stead, and 1t is for that then are
struggling.
Will they aid us to break down their men No,
while they are waging war upon our most faithful

We, the democratic party want, and the whole
people should desire full and free investigation
into their bond.seIling operation-we want to try
the whig as well rs the democratic bond sellers,
and ifthe wings are honest and faIr.dealng as
they pretend to be, let them not object. Il" some
thing is indeed rotten in Denmark" we want to
"rp it up," and lay it before the people.
