The Cadiz sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 184?-1851, 1844-08-07

Of a verify the days of whiggery are number
led! five had no other evidence of the fact
than the display at Steubcnville, on last We'd
nesday, we must unquestonabiy come to that
conclusion "The mountain was in labor and
brought forth mouse" OF all the miserable,
Econtemptble, sckly, slouchy demonstrations of
coonery, it took the lead! An extraordinary
effort had been made for weeks and months be-
fore, to collect together an immense concourse
of people, the purpose, if possible, of intim-
dated, brow-beating, frightening, and walking
rough-shod over the Democracy But as well
might the iackass attempt TO intimidate the lion,
Tor the little sparrow chase onr own proud eagle.
The spirit of Democracy never cowers-never
falters-never is subdued! Oh, what misera-
ble farce-an empty bubble "a perfect abortion,
was the great Coon-vention, after all! We have
lived in Jefferson County some ten years, and
are pretty we'll acquainted with her honest yeo-
manry, and we unhestatingly declare that we
do not believe that there was over $50 or 300
whig farmers, who were voters, at Steub enville
lon last Wednesday! On the road down we saw
and conversed with wings who said they could
not conscientously lend their countenance to
lsuch efforts to operate on mems prejudices and
their passions. Then who made up the crowd?
They were not the Woodworking farmers and
mechanics, surely; but the lazy, loafng, laza-
rones, Of the cities and towns along the river,
land few from the towns in Jefferson and the
adjoinjng counties. Wheeling sent up three
steam boat loads of her bankrupts, boys & women;
and Pittsburgh sent steam boat load of lawyers
clerks and tape-cutters. These nice represen-
tations of whiggery, dressed in fine English
broad-cIoths, French silks and ribbonds, white
kid gloves, strapped and starched, Aourishng
Igold-headed canes, and their faces enyeloped in
whiskers and mustachios, paraded the streets of
ISteubenvile, some half dozen times, singing
|blackguard negro songs, and carrying unmean-
ing banners and foolish trausparances! In the
name of Heaven, is Henry Clay TO be made
President by such persons and through such
means? Well did honest, moral, sober-mnded
wings, hang their heads in shame, and turn away
in disgust from the revolving scene! We heard
of number of persons who declared openly
that they could no longer act with party who
would attempt to carry an election by mad ex-
element and drunken carousals; and indeed one
individual, Mr.. James ]. Welch, Of Warren
township, instead of participating in the exhibit
ton, wrote out his remuneration for the Steuben-
vile Union! And others, we are told, will do
likewise! Huzza for the great whig fandango!
We have neither time or inclination to go in
to particulars in regard to this miserable federal
humbug at Steubenville, nor would our readers
thank us for such detail of folly and licentious-
ness The only speakers we heard were JARVIS
of Canton, Generally known by the name of
Bailie Nchol Jarvie,) Forward of Pittsburgh,
BINGHAM of New Philadelphia, and broken
down play actor from Wheeling. Their speech
es were filled with the most ultra federal and
Anti-American doctrines.
In the procession, as it passed through town,
we noticed old Jimmy Wilson's hopeful son
Bob, printing handbill, filled with songs, and
Louisiana news 0L5- of the 18th! when news up
| to the 2lst had been received in Steubenville,
showing that the Democracy had carried that
State by an overwhelming majorty.-That boy
| Bob has a powerful intellect for conducting a
newspaper! well nigh as much as pet monkey,
which animal he admirably personifes!
Gen. SAMUEL SToKELy, President of the de-
funct Bank of Steubenvlle, and at present the
federal candidate for Congress in that district,
was Chief Marshall of the Day. An admirable
selection! The room in which that corrupt
Bank carried on its swindling operations, is now
occupied by our democratic friends Stanton g.
McCook, as a law Office But the ghost of the
departed bank seemed to rise up from the dead,
| like Hamlet's father, and haunt the Grand Mar
shall of the Federal Fandango In front of the
old Banking room, we saw tombstone, on
which was inscribed the birth, age and death of
the poor whig banbling, which was conceived
in sin and brought forth in iniquity" And there
was the old swindling shop sign, with these sim
pie (but never 10 be forgotten) words on it:
q BANK OF STEUBENvILLE." And there
too, was a large board, on which was pasted
so or 100 notes of the denominations Of 5 and
10 dollars, of the "better vhig currency,'I
which Gen. stokely issued, to defraud and swim
die the community with! As the General march
ed his army of Wheeling bankrupts and Pitts
burgh tape-cutters in front Of the late charnal-
house Of his departed Bank, how gratifying it
must have boen to him 10 see 50 many of his
