such wieksd, foolish and exploded here
sizes of the federal party-hsresi that
we have contended sgainst during our
whole political life. We shall atone for
our feeble instrumentsIi'y 10 securing
Mr.. Tod's nomination, by withholding
from him our roie. Thres ,imes have
we been guilty Of voting for Wilson
Shannon-and since the last vote ws
gave him, We vowed before heaven that
We would never agsin prostitute tbs
elective franchise and our political birth
right, by voting for slnue ofths BGnE
poper. We shall not attempt to infu-
encs or censure otbsrs-but we shall
redeem this pledge. The contest for
Governor is between Bank candidates,
who differ eighty 10 regard to points
which we consider as non.esssntial.-
Let them fight the battle among them

who have every thing to Ioss--nothing
to hope for; but just as much 10 lose end
precisely as much 10 gain, from the eIec
ton of Tod as Barley, and Barley ss
Tod.
"Our own opinion is, that Mr.. Tod
has not been directly purchased by the
Banking power, but that he has yielded
to time seruing reakness. He undsr-
took 10 serve God and Msmmon, He
knew that The Anti Bank Democracy of.
The Stale had always been the most true
10 the regular nominations Of the party
and that they we're enIhusiastica de-
voted TO his support. Hence he thought
that he would court bank in6usDcs--
compromise bis principles, and betr4y
his oldest and warmsst friends, without
provoking them into an attitude Of hos.
liIity. In this presumption, we believe
that he will find himself mistaken. The
democracy o. the school of Jefferson
and Jackson, will not leave the eternal
rock OF Truth, on which they are plant
ed, TO follow any man into ths fatal jaws
Of the Bank hrislocracy. They sanNoc

ave have as ardent party prsdiIsc'
lions as any other man. But we cannot
consent tina, our nominees for high pub
lie trusts should compromise with the
enemy, and put on their diseased and pu
trid garments. We fight for principles
and not for meD for the People and not
Tor the Banks. We cannot be wheedled
