The infamous deception pracusrd upon the unsusPect-
ing people Of this country b. the Old Tory Federal Wing
leaders in 1910, is recoiing upon their own heads with
fearful reiulution. Leaving entirely out Of view the
JUDI mens of heGren, which have been sufficient 10 con-
vince any refecfimg mind that an oyeruling Providence
can never smile on sn Of any kid, We may refer, anc We
do il with the highest gratifcaion. II tie MANY cases Of

moral courage to avew their opinions. despite the anaihe-

Again hey cannot succeed nor should they. Ii The peo-
pie are no, convinced by the past ihve years Of the ten
dency Of Whiggery, we are almost inclined to cay, that
they Geserre Just such a government as the leaders of the
Wing party wish to establish a .lfoHarcAy. ike ihl, If
England. which Alexander Hamilton, the father OF the
federal party, ii ugh was the modeiof governments; and
where. hy means of a National Bank and a high Protect

foreign laborers. But God forbid We believe our peo-
pie too enlightened to have a yoke thus fastened upon
their necks. In evidence Of this. we irs'ance the numer-
Gus changes heretofore published in this paper and we
assert that we have not published one in twenty of similar
cases received. Nor are the changes to Democracy those
who expect to profit iy getting cGce. 1t is not the Gus
tom with tie Democratic party 10 take the latest traitor To
their principles. as their prominent candidates. as it is and
always has be. n with the federal wings. Therefore no
such lnducement couii have influenced the honest and
bold. who. wiling to acknowledge their error, have eram-
med for McmscireS, t und their hopes founded in iahacy
aud have had the moral courage to openly proclaim their
convictions. The men themselves DO it not in hopes of
gain, unless it be the gain Of the creates, good TO the
greatest number. Such men are to he trusted.
The following we give in full because he writer has
heretofore taken an active part, for what he unquesiiona-
bly at the time supposed to be correct principles. He has
read. AID has STUDIED for Ia purpose of convincing his
own mind, ind penlen, of Big Heads" Of either parry.
HIS conc us.ons we present below. and advise all others,
Democrats or W hIss. to examine statistics, from anthem
IT, sources, ludgr for themselves. aud form their own opin
ions. Independent Of any 'Big-man-me," whether Of one
side or the other, and SCI, if after such examination. they
d, not fud themselves enlightened. Figures don't lie. 3"
we extend the hand of fellowship to Mr. BAXTER, and
trust that re will continue his cxaminaticas.
