cOrrOpi pTacuceS, iHey are now HyihS 10 Ho
themselves back again! Nothing is ieo bold
for these unscrupulous and unblushing talsitlers
all restraints Of decency are laid aside and
every locofoco paper is filed with inventions,
which show the ingenuity as well as the de-
prayity of the party. The following is from
The Ohio Statesman, edited by Medary, as un
principled demagogue ever voted loco
foce ticket and affords about an average SAM
pie Of what we may expect from them during
The campaign
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
Stick it on every posi-, nail i, 10 every tree,
paste it on every mantle piece, wax i, 10 every
shoe bench throughout the length and breadth
Of The land, that HENRY CLAY, The pound
cake, cologne, dancing coon candidate for the
Presidency, said on the floor Of Congress, that:
'Ifgentlen,en ,ciH not alicte US to have BLACK
SLAVES, they must let US haze WHITE
ONES, for tce cannot cut our fre-roed and
black our shoes, AND HAVE OUR WIVES
AND DAUGHTERS WORK IN THE
KITCHEN"
This is leaf out of the same book that ac-
cused Gen. Harrison of selling white men into
slavery and of being two miles distant from the
battle of the Thames! And the author Of the
high in the favor of locolocoism, who has been
spoken of as candidate for the United States
| Senate from Ohio and has held the Office Of
State Printer for many years as the gift Of his
political friends Base and glarng as the
knayery of the above article is, it is but spe-
cimen of what we End every day in the ocoIo-
CO press. You canno, open the Globe, the
! Pennsy ylvanian or the Ohio Statesman, without
| finding similar articles, all equally destitute Of
ruth, all pandering 10 the worst prejudces Of
humanity. and all bearing on their very face
the utter recklessness of that depravi'y, which
would he Martin Van Buren, into the Presiden-
I tial chair.
| 1t by insulting the intelligence of the peo-
| pie by ribald jesis and unmiligaled depravity
that the Tory locofocos would carry the elec-
| ton II is by flooding the country with spu-
rous extracts from speeches never delivered,
and coined only in the brains of such men as
/ Blair Neal and Medary, ,ha, the result Of l840
! is 10 be reversed. One would really think
these loce leaders were of opinion that the ex
pressed will Of nineteen ont of twenty six
States, was slain on our national character,
which required the s,ronges, decoction of lye
they could bring 10 eradicate! And yet they
are continually appealing TO The people and
/ their intelligence--are libelling the overwhem-
| ing majority Of 1910, and seem TO think that
the corruption Of their own hearts can meet
with sympathy from the masses! In this they
will be mistaken these tools were triad on
the las, eleclien--falsehood calumny, -vllifica-
tion, forgery of public documents, misrepresen-
taions of opinions, aud garblng of speeches
were successfully used 10 injure Gen. Elarrl-
son, but the result showed that the means re-
coied upon the orginators They mstook the
people of The na,on-ihay treated them as if
they were ignorant of all the principal incl
dents In the history Of our nation, and tried TO
falsify that history for their purposes! And
with what resulll They were rebuked so sig
nally, that the political annals of our country
cannot furnish precedent case Of such utter
rout, dismay and defeat!
Have the people reirogated since then Z

Our remarks have been of general Charac

is to constitute the plan Of The locoloco cam
paign Our readers may often expect TO SCI
the heading of this article reiterated in our col
umns, for we have determined 10 expose ever,
falsehood we da,ect in The Tory press, and W.
shall do it in plain language. We are not Il
) be deferred by any fear of violating the courte
sizes Of The press, for our duties 10 the Whi
parry are paramount, and we must take the bu,
ton from The foil for our encounter. As w
have before stated, the editorial courtesy ex
hibited by the press Of Philadelphia, has bee
all on one side ;-locolocoism has never hesi
lated TO use personalities or reilerate charge
most paIpably false and wilfuIly malignant
