II ever we felt more proud of our noble old Common
wealth at one time than another that time is nownow
when her staunch incorruptble and ue-hearted demo
cratic are sending 10 us on the wings of the wind
their stern rebuke 10 the merchant manufacturing and
stock jobbins princes, who basey attempted TO bribe
them to betray their principles, and aid in the elevation
Of bold bad man 10 the Presidency OF the Union How
often has the voice of the Of her mountains and hor
valleys been heard With joy amid the political battle;
but never has spoken so trumpet tongued throughout
the and-never has it been calculated to cheer the
heart of the true democrat. Already has it struck ter
into the Federaliss They in it death 10 all theiI
hopeshopes built upon the vest system Of fraud and
corruption ever attempted in any country.
Not less Than half million Of dollars has been ex
pended in this State alone purchase its electoral vote
for Clay How it was used or how itwoud be used,
no one coud doubt when he saw the names of the
Who using it. There rs scarcely county that we
have ri me- since the election the san story is
rttod, Of men having oney and using it asEe elec
rion, wto had or used before Nor it the
use a money aloue. Men were employed and paid 10
20 among The manufacturers and mechanics, TO crcu
late fasehood in relation 10 Mr., Fok and the demo
cratic patty. Thousands, nay millions Of PAIR phets
were circulated containing gross misrepresentation and
falsehoods. Even newspapers considered respectable
aided in the circulation Of tasehoods and tOrgees star
ted by lower and vier prints.
Such was the Teiieraon ofthe Roorback" forgery by
the United Si tes Gaze e the "Cdfolc stories agains
Mr. Skunk By the North American, and the "Bri,isf
Gold" "free tIade forgeries by them all. Nor shonC
we omit the papers that we're issued ovel the signature
Of Mr. Charles Gibbons By the National Clay Cluo,-
nor the circulation of spurious tickets by M. Cox On
AID all IRON the highest to lAe lowest Of the party, seem
cd to vie with each other who could 20 fuIAes in tn
work Another ct of them went so tar as The coercion
Of those employed under them. Whole bodies Of mel
known to be democratic in their feelings we're given Il
understand that they must vote heeoo tiet or leav
their employment, and the meanest system Of espionag
establishment to prevent them from enjoying the sacTe
right OF every American tn vote without hesupervisoI
fany one-wiihOut fear or favor. In Short no trick
device, deception rand forgey coercion or bribery
was eC unired TO deieatthe democracy; yet was it al
in vain. Every where las the democracy stood firm
