Addressed to NJ. w. Selfrie &C. Prothonotary, AL
lentowo, Pa,
Such letters this distributing thousands OF dol
lars have been dispatched to the different counties Of
the State Public emissaries now travelling
over the country and are among you WIN
them they have this money-with them they have
kt.tu A.aIa ,f n.,tE and r
abusing the principles and men of the Demo
cracy, disappearing the issues now before you,
aud concealing beneath a cloud Of 1alsehoods,
their darl Dg project Of National Bank. The veal
thy Of the cities have conspired against you The
large commercial cities Of the Union have resolved
to govern the people of this land The stockJob.
bers and money changers grasp at authority, and
hope with the power Of the government TO make tins
land land OF toll and bondage, and the cities and
towns the dwelling places OF bank barons and mer-
chant princes. The real issue is now before the peo-
pie. The truth has been unveiled, and the whole of
this infamous conspiracy to seduce and betray us is
now made known.
The issue is between the men of the country and
the money Of the cles-between the labor and in
dustry Of the PEOPLE and the presumptuous and AFRO
CANT preensions OF Federal arstocfacy.
The enemies of free Institutions are now distract
ing this country with their efforts to acquire power
They long for great moneyed monster 10 govern
and plumber this people. For this they nominated
Mr.. Clay, the apostate from Democracy and The de-
lamer OF Andrew Jackson. They are aided by Bril-
fish merchants and commercial agents who subscribe
thousands thousands with the assurance of the
creation Of a National Bank to stimulate prices, and
with expanded paper circulation nullify the tariff
flood the land with British goods and mpoversh The
people for British apeculators and adventures.
No scheme however corrupting, no intrigue how
ever Infamous, no statement however false but that
they will carry out 10 effect their purpose. We who
reside within the coiruptng influence of great paper
moneyed interests and who have for years felt its y
rannous and pernIcious power, now call on you the
yeomanry of the onwealth, to rescue the State
from Federal Bank whIggery and the degradation OF
captivity. The State OF Pennsylvan has ever been
steadlast and immovabe in the Of Democracy,
her hardy and industrious population have loved and
upheld her noble and liberal institutions firm through
all trial. They have never owned the power Of
stock iobbers TO govern and rule them. Trey have
never yielded to the threats seductive arts Of city
aristocracy, but have steadily and with courage
marched on 10 the of their country and Of hu-
man rights.
We are respectfully,
Your feow-ctlzens,
