WHAT IS TO BE GAINED BY THE ELEC
TON OF HENRY CLAY2


Ifhe honest portion Of the whg party would but ask
themselves The above question, and then reflect uoon
their own response the whg party would soon be redu
ced to skeleton of leaders.
What is 10 be gained by the election Of Henry Clay?
First, Henry Clay promises National Bank. A Ma
tional Bank is political engine, by means oil which
English Monarchs and English Lords are enabled to
enslave the labering men of England.
Do aboring men, in this country, desire similar in
stitution, whereby they may become mere serfs2
The United States Bank, set Government at defance
in one session bought up nearly one third of the men,
bers of Congress brbed several the leading democrat
ic papers, and scofed at the will of the great ofthe
people, And great portion Of the stockholders were
English Lords
Do the people desire to see such an Institution re.es
lablished?
What else is to be gainedl j. @. Adams, and other
wig leaders, promise the ASSUMPTION of the Stale
Debts amounting to Two hundred millions of dollars -
That u.s. they propose TO make the farmers and working
men OF Ohio, help to pay off the debt OF Pennsylvania,
Maryland Louisiana &c. &C. Il strikes US, that our
farmers find their taxes sufficiently heavy, without un
deraking 10 pay the taxes of other States. s..
What else do they promise! They promise TO dis
tribute the proceeds of the public lands, amounting to
two millions and half annually, and 10 make up the
deficit in the revenue, by resorting to DIRECT TAX
ALTON.
Wha: else do they promise1 They promise to pass
a second edition of the ALIEN and SEDITlON laws:
To reduce all foreigners to the condition of sers If
foreigners desire this they can be accommodated by
lecting Henry Clay.
And now for what THEY have done and tried 10
| do:
They passed bankrupt law, by means Of which tie
people were swihdled out Of lour hundred millions OF
dollars
| They tried to establish National Bank, and fai
| led
They established tariff, which is an annual taxto
the people, of more than FORTY MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
They have increased the national debt from EIGHT

Teey voted twenty five thousand 10 the widow of Gen.
| Harrison.
They voted SIX thousand dollars to ornament the

They tried 10 vote pension 10 the heirs of the traitor

"Fory-four years ago this day, our honored grand
