The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1844-10-18

We have understood that whig OF
this county remarked, q day or two ago,
that after this he intended to have as
little to do as possible with democrats.
A young whig merchant standing by,
said he had come to about the same
conclusion himself. Now if the demo-
Gratis of this county would adopt the
same course, what would become Of
these whig stores? All we have to say
IS, let them try it, and see who are the
loOSerS

From the Bait. Republican, Oct. A.
BRUTAL OUTRAGE.

1t is with feelings of deep pain that we have to
record most brutal murder, perpetrated last night
in our city uponone of our German fellow citizens;
and it is with unaffected horror that we look upon
the fatal result that has, in this instance, followed
the deep hatred which influences bad men to gain
political ends. Where this malignant spirit is to
unbrdled passion of bloody outrage is allowed to
go unwhipped of justice.

Were the old farmers of Greene
township much enlighted on Wednes-
day night last, by the erplOviations Of
certain young coons? "Young folks
think old folks are fools; but old folks
knoD young ones to be so." Do YOU
take young coonies. How long have
you been CAUGHT?

statement before public meeting in Cleveland, on
the 3Oth day of August just past;
ssHenry Clay did once gamble, and so did the
whole of the Kentucky Bar, of which Mr.. Clay
was member. But this was some years ago, and
he believed Mr.. Clay had now yielded to the force
of public opinion and given up. But do not de-
ny that Henry Clay DOES NOW occasionally with
his friends take game Of aohst, and as it is Gus
tomary in Kentucky, to enliyen the play, bet a
quarter or hatf upon each game, and the winner
keeps the money"
Here Cassius MarceIlus Clay admits that his rel
alive was once A GAMBLER, and DOES NOW
play for money! What is playing for money but
gambling! Mr.. Band's statement that money to
"enliv'n the play" oil the steamboat in lS43, was
in "GoLD PIECES" We have no gold pieces less
than $3.50.

Some OF the young coon stumpers of
this place, who, before the late election
made use of the vilest lies and SANDERS
against some OF the democratic candi-
dates, are advised that their several
cases are under consideration. So
look out coonies for the next paper.

Gus references by name to persons who have play
ed at the same table with Mr.. Clay, or seen him
play for money.
To these we add the testimony OF C. M. Clay,
in recent speech at Cleveland, Ohio, as follows,
viz:
"He'oy clay gambler Cassius M Clay his
.Accuser. The Chilicothe Advertiser says the fact
is SO notorious that Mr. Clay sa gambler, that his
warmest supporters in Kentucky, where his pri-
vate character is best known, do not pretend to
deny it, Cassius M. Clay made the following

THE BANKRUPT LAW.

A whig in this township at the late
election, said he had dozen votes
he would give them all to Henry Clay.
A democrat replied, if you had fifty
you ought to give them all to Clay free
ly; for through his efforts the Bankrupt
law was passed, and you were enabled
to pay your debts with slip of paper.
The coon made tracks. He was one
Of the Bankrupts.

Of cotton will put thousands OF dollars into their
pockets; and where does it come from? Why, out
of the small income of the mechanic and farmer;
for they are the consumers of the article and pay
the high price which the tariff produces. Yet
these manufacturers have the hardihood to tell
them that it is question of bread! Bread for
whom' Bread for the manufacturer, and poverty
for the consumer A farmer can buy six yards of
cotton cloth for bushel corn; raise the tariff and it
will take busheland halfto buy the same amount;
and that extrahaf bushel goes directly into the
corn-barn of the manufacturer, But he Is told
that the value of his products is correspondngly
increased with the tariff. This is false in theory
and practice; for it is the legitimate effect of high
tariff to exclude American p.oduce from foreign
markets.
If we shut out their manufactures, they will
shut out our beef, pork, flour, &C.; and hence the
