HENRY FALL.
Van Buren, Township, Darke Co. Ohio, !
I..i., mt 1914 4


Mr. Taylor-Sir, ask leave through the me-
dium OF your paper To say TO my fellow citizens,
that am now in my sixty-third year, and |
have voted the Democratic Republican ticket
ever since have been entitled To vote; but that
I cannot go Tor Polk and Dallas, and support
the same principles that did in voting for JEFF
ferson, Monroe and jackson, and am now of
the opinion that ! can only assist 10 sustaining
those old Democratic principles by voting for
Henry Clay and the whole Wing ticket al the
coming election. Yours,
I. G. VANATTI.
The following is from the last New Lisbon
Palladium, published in Coumbiana county,
Ohio:
A Clay Club was organized lately, in town.
ship in This county, and so soon as the consti-
tuition was adopted, NINE voters, who had
supported Mr. Van Buren, and the locofoco
measures and candidates generally, went for
ward aud signed it, and resolved henceiorth TO
fight under the glorious banner of "Cay and
Protection to American Industry
One OF the Vice Presidents (Mr Hahn,) OF
the Wellsvile Mass Convention, had always
been, up TO very recent period, a strenuous
supporter Of locoioco men and measures.
We were informed few days ago, by a gen.
ile,nan OF vsrae;sy, from remote township in
this county, that four of his loco neiehbors
had abandoned the foul party and are now
battling Tor Clay and Wing principles. And
Others were almost daily iorsaking the Texan
candidates.
The West Union Intelligeneer, Of Adams
county, Ohio, says tina, WIN. METZ, Esq.
Of Meigs township, and ELIJAH LEEDOM,
Esq. of Bentonville, hitherto prominent men
in the locoioeo ranks. have come out from the
foul party, and avowed their determination to
vote for Henry Clay, Mordecai Barley and
true democratic measures. They are both men
OF the highest respectability, and will exert
strong influence.
ASHFORD MANKIN, Of Elkrun town
ship, Columbians county, Ohio, comes out in
the New Lisbon Palladium, and renounces all
allegiance TO the locoioco party, with which he
has acted for 10 years. We give a short ex-
tract from his letter:
"Ever since have been a voter as years.)
have been a steady supporter of the party
calling itself the democratic party. True, at
times, was led 10 doubt the propriety of so
doing, when found unprincipled men PLAYING
the demagogne, and using the sacred name oil
democracy, as a swift nag on whose back they
might ride into office and power, at the ex-
pense OF the best Interests of an honest people
Still, however, gloricd in supposing that
belonged TO the Democracy, though some, even
many, of its leaders were dishonest At length
however, upon the most mature delibeGaiion, |
have been compelled, by the boldness and reck-
essness Of the leaders of the party, to renounce
all allegiance 10 ii, and declare myself ndepen-
dent Of its shackles; and in doing so, think it
proper to state few Of the many reasons that
induce this course"
He goes on to say that he is in favor of
protective tariff, and in favor of Banks, and he
is convinced the party with which he has act
ed is hostile to both. He is also opposed to
annexation He thus concludes:
81 call on you, then, my fellow democrats.
TO look well to the matter before YOU suffer
yourselves TO be sold or bartered away like so
many oxen in the market, 10 buy favor for
these heartess wretches called leaders, and who
nave always led the democratic party such
strange dance, that TO follow il through all lis
windngs, is like following '-the-antern
or will-o'-the-wisp, DER log and ditch. Quit,
then, fellow democrats, the hollow sound of
the name, and go you all in favor of HARRY
OF THE WEST, whose acts during the late
war with Great Britain proved him real dem
ocrat and jealous patriot.

HIRAM G. HART and ]. A. QUAY, of
Hudson, Summit county, Ohio, announce
through the Cleveland Herald, their determi- |
nation to abandon the party with which they
have heretoiors.aeted. They are worthy and
honest mechanics, and their address TO the par
ty with which they have heretofore acted can
not fail to convince the candid and rejecting.
we give an extract or two:
We believed that what was said by our par |
" leaders and pariizan presses, concerning the |
wing party, was TO some extent true-ilat
they were devoted 10 pariizan purposes, aris- |
tocrats, ederalists, and all that; but as men are
to be best known by scrutiny Of their prisci-
pes, we concluded to try parties by this test.
We have ever been, and still are ".JefIerso- |
nian Democrats" We hold the same Tunda-
mental principles Of national policy that Wash
ington, Jefferson, and Madison did. They |
were in favor Of National Bank: so nre we |
