ived to sre and feel the folly Of having contributed by
ny Vote to achieve the whig triumph Of that year, ask
'ou all TO give me hearing whilst address to you
ew plain remarks Be not too muchelated by the bus
lie and turmoil, necessarily prevailing among those
lungering after the spos ofofice who now fill every
street and avenue of our city, but summon up phiosO
ply enough to alay all excitement and suffer your
reason to have sway for few hours
What is the object of this great gathering oflhe whg
clans-this commingling of "back spirits and white
blue spirits and grey?" Why all those gorgeous ban
ners those badges, those "Clayhats and Cayshrts,"
and all the paraphanalia of those woud-be MOBILES
of our land2 Why such outpouring omoney to draw
together this army hf Whig OILERS on The one hand
and Wings DUPES on the otherl Why so many and
such varied resorts to create little enthusiasm and ex
citement in aid of Henry Clay THE HERO OF DU
ELLING-he GAMING TABLE, and the lustri-
ous professor of the science Of profanity? The answer
s or ought to be, on every mans'tongue! These things
are done because the leaders Of this party knew that
when the decision of Presidential contest is left to the
SOBER quiet dspassionale consideration Of the people
their verdict will be rendered in favor of the Democracy
by an overwhelming vote.
Hence they tax their ingenuity and bleed their pock
cts" to overcome REASON by inordinaIe excitement,
and by system of BRAGGING, BROW-BEATING
HURRAING and BULLYING, to prevent true ex-
preston of the popular will But surely wehave pass
ed through tribulaon enough since our great 'FROL-
&c AND HURRA" Of 1910, to teach US a little wis
dom! We have been taught by tasifcation of every
wbg promise then made, and in an open and unblush-
ing abandonment Of every principle which they then
advocated that lent countenance to set of lea
ders achO nlcays vear false faces 1nen seeking our uoes
and who are in every light in which may view them,
mere WOLVES IN SLEEPS CLOTHING.
Now, just let US take look at them as they pass a
long, see in thatcrowd upwards ofa thousand ofthose
reckless sSPECULATORS in State Stocks, who get rid
Of their debts by Henry Clay's repudiang bankrupt
law, and who CHEATED and SWINDLED MO,s-
Of mechanics laJOrers seamreScs and araser1co
men out of the very means they depended upon to buy
their daily bread! see scaeredhere and there (yng
to hide themselves from the owns OF the wof all the
officers of the one hundred and nineteen Banks which
haze broken and bursted since the 4M Of May 1S4O and
spread distress and ruin among the innumerable ami
lies whose weeping and wailing over their losses were
enough to draw tears from the adamantine rock! Now
come two or three platoons of the owners of IRON
FURNACES and FORCES, who, (althcugh the boun-
ties OF the tariff causing them to reap daily har
vest of money! refuse to give their Oredigsers, wood
choppers and others in their employ, proporonate in
crease of wages and compel them to receive half Of the
small pittance allowed them ngoods ont Of their stores
at double prices
Here follows small regiment Of the LORDS OF
THE LOOM and SPINDLE, who "dress in purple
and fine nen," and fare sumptuousy every day." out
Of the enormous TAX, which the infamous Whig tariff
EFFORTS from the pockets of the w ORKING MASSES!
These men are famous for crying out 'rOtedyOu home
labor, and land down with the doctrine of Democracy
and equal rights-and yet they too proud to wear
goods manufactured at their establishments andlay
out their money exclusively in the "fnery g. gewgaws
imported from foreign lands! Although realizing E.
NORMOUS PROFITS through the increased Price
which the tariff makes our people pay for their goods
yet they have forgotten their promises OF 49, and unfee
ngy deny their male and female operatives that lib
eral compensation which is due to their ncessant abors
Such HYPOCRITES as these deserve to be whipped
with the lash Of honest men all around the habitable
Globe!
Behold now score after score of WHIG proprietors
of large clothing establishments who, with the word:
Support your own mechanics on their banners and on
their tongues are the means Of throwing dozens o
ourneymen tailoes out OF employ and who drag hun
dreds of our fair countrywOmer 10 nnt,mely grau
by making them "PLY THE NEEDLE" from dawr
OF day in the morn, till after twelve at night for BEG
CARLY PITTANCEl Verify such men can hav'
no sympathy with the liberal spirit Of Democracy, ant
are Just precisely where they ought 10 be- and wher
they must stay. They deserve and should be constant
ly chassed in their dreams by the great red dragon
spoken of in the Book ofRevelation!
Make way now for the whiskered "SOAP LOCKS,
whose hands are too nice to TOUCH piece Of do
nestle cotton or wooen but who for the sake of stoop
ing to conquer" profess to be the most earnest supper
ters OF "Home Industry" to be found THSE BRAIN
| LESS EXQUISITES are celebrated Coon Serena
ders, and have just sense enough to think that on
word from their dainty lips will blow loco focoism SIX
high! As for the principles OF government, or the rea
effect Of this or that measure upon the interests of til
people, thy knO1o no more about ii than fresh aCatt
OJster does of AstrOnony Harmless simpletons The
are so full OF enthusiasm" that we shall have to hol
them TO prevent their jumping out of their BREECHES
Put straight jacket on THEM, and let them pass!
Such are the characters composing the far create
number in their procession men whose feelings al
not in accordance with those ofthe yeomanry ofthe lar
men who seek to live by their wits, and amaSs 70
tunes without abor-men who get Conges to pass Law
compelling their fellow men to support them in the
dleness and dissipaion-lnen who blend together the
