Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1844-09-10
From the Democratic Star.

Messr sEditOrs:-I wish il made known
to you, to the democrats, 10 the abolition
lists g. particularly to the wings, that have
voted for about 20 years, sQd have cast
my votes always for the whig candidates.
But want il distinctly understood that |
cannot 60 that ticket any ~iOhgOr-that !
90 my whole length strTght out, forPolk,
Dellas and Tod, and victory will follow, it
am not mistaken, (ahd | cannot be) for
il seems that the whole country is Tlsin'
against Uiuy and FrelngldsiOn, and SO
ought every honest man to 60 against
party that goes for United States bahE'
with her capital raised by taxing the poor
man in the way Of a high tariff; against a
party that go for the proceeds OF the pub
lie lands TO be divided among the States;
against party that 60 for a Bankrupt
law; against The party that say high duties
make goods low; against the party that
goes against Texas, although the =. leader
of the whig party says oersonalIylhe has
no objections 10 the annexation, 70, con
sistency where art thouP Every lover
Of his country ought TO 60 against party
that 90 against foreigners having vote
until they shall have been in this coun-
Try 81 years; againsta party that ac-
knowledges thai the wings did PiPe-lay
like the devil in 40, and against a party
that 90 against the elections being held
over the Union in one day, it shows they
want to pipe lay in'44 against a party that
is always promising good times and new
er trys to perform; that party did prom
ise Two dollars day aud roast beef, in
40, do we get it2 no, we have to work
on the roads for twenty FIVE cents and
find ourselves, IA smart difference that
and further | hear the wings all saying
that the banks in this State are all good
that they would as lief have their bills al
silver, was this the case before they were
made resume specie paymentsa No
why sirs, you we're not safe in going tC
bed with dollar in your pocket, for ter
chances TO one IL the bank would not be
shut up in the morning, and refuse TO re
, ceive any more Of its bills. Well did the
; wings put stop to this, aud make theil
paper as good as silverf no, they wen
I against il almost 10 man, but the dem
q caals having majority in the Legislature
!. passed The resumption law, which makes
q their bills as good as silver, and the very
n party who opposed this measure now &C
i knowledge this to be fact. Is this
; party worthy Of the support ofthe homes
, and we'll wisher Of his country, | say no
, One thing more and | have done. Th'
whig party say they are law, Loving an'
abiding and religious party, well, let u
sac, did not that party resign their seat
, in the legislature 10 al, when they ha'
a majority in that body, thereby destroy
) ing the law making power, in violation
of their oaths3 don't all say yes at once
! As for the religious part Of this commu'
MIR, TO which l belong, voting for Henr
Clay looks too ridiculous, when it Is &C
knowledged by the Abolition speakers
who were good wings in 40, that he !
stepped in iDfamy, and is corrupt from
the top Of his head to the sole Of hi
foot. / for one, as Mr.. Clay said whel
the legislature Of Kentucky instructed
him 10 vote for the repeal OF the inla-
nous Bankrupt law, have not the heart
| have not the hand, cannot aud vii
not do iG.
