Democratic standard. [volume] (Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio) 1837-1850, 1844-10-01

while the wings not only opposed u oul
used opprObriOus epilheis and abused
hsm. ...-
4. Because even the whig candidate
for the Presidency, when Senator inCOn-
EgIess, and discussing the pre-. empiion
right on public lands, offered his utmost
20 exclude eMlgranIs Of this right, and
thus proved himself their political eneS
my.
5. Because ihs democrats are iR favor
0G Just, moderate revenue tariff, while
the wings go in for high, unjust, pro.
IecliVe tarifby the operation OF which the
large mass Of the people are taxed 10 The
benefit Of small number Of msnuIactur
ers and capitalists, thus making The poor
man pnorer, and the rich I'char, as Eng
land will sufficiently exempliIy.
6. Because ali the organs Of the dem
oeratic party took side with the free suf>
frage and equal rights party Of Rhode ls'
land, wbils The orgOns Oflhe whig party
supported The aristocracy Of that little
State, thus clearly showing that whigge>
ry aud arislOcTacy are syUOrnonOus.
7. Because the democratic parry was
for reforming The corrupted and danger.
Gus banking system as il existed up to
tiis line, while The wings defended and
supported the same with all its cOrruF-
lion, as the Legislative proceedings Of
the States will prove.
q. Because democracy is for honest.
" paying all honest debts. while the
wings passed bankrupt law, by The
operation OG which the people Of these
United STATES were delrauded Of more
han two hundred millions Of dollars, in
d. fiqnce Of all contracts and the most
sacred obligations.
9. Because democracy is opposed TO
a United SlaIes Bank as uDconstitution-
al; while the wings, defying the spirit
of the Constitution, make every effort To
call such an institution into existence, a.
TO invest The government with a money
Dnwer that would make il more poWeTIu'
than any poien,ate Of Europe.
| 10. Because the democratic party as
a poliliOal .bndV. opposes with all lis
miphl the so called Native American par
", while the whg party not only sup
ports this native party, but unIIes wi'h
The same, as we have seen from The last
elections IN New York and other places,
where the wings with few exceptions,
vote d for the native ticket.
IL. Because democracy always acted
in conformity with the maxim Of those
venerable patriots George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson, neither 10 do nor
10 suffer any wrong; while the wings re-.
fuse The occupation Of the Oregon Terri.
tory, which ofright belongs 10 these Uni
ted States, and thus prove by their OPpO.
sitiun that they would rather make it over
to Johnny Bull.
IL. Because democracy always cOnsld'
cred The fine imposed on GeneIal jack
son during The defence Of New O'leans
against The British, as n debt due by tie
whpie country, and left nothing un'ried
. 10 refund the same, while the wings fnr a
Hong time refused to acknowledge this
, debt, and rather proposed IN Congress ia
Day consider BILE sum TO the heirs O
} the traitor Hull, who delivered into the
I hands OF the British fort, with garrison
and ammunition, for which act he vas al
terwards condemned by court martial
Is. Because democracy is opposed Il
all exclusive privileges and monOPOIie'
r Of corpOroled institutions and individuals
f. while the wings are in favor Of p' EpeIu
a,ing them, and thus taxing the large ma
/. ior.iy Of the people 10 the exclusive bene
!. lit OF the few.
For all these reasons, we have.
Resolved, That we shall hold TO th
prlnCspIes Of democracy ard support ih
same by all fair and lawful means, an
that we.cOnsiieT ita violation Of our. Oai
! ON the Constitution if we should vOI
I with the whig party, as the COnstituIin
! does not allow the establishment oI nj
1t tiunal bank.
At Resolved, That we heartily approve {
in the nomination Of James K, Polk an
IT, @. M. Dallas, as candidates for Pres

re meats TO effect their election,
4 Resolved, that we esteem David Tot
the candidaIe for Governor as true ri
m iriot and intelligent statesman, aud th
s we shall give him our undivided SUI
VI port. !" .l..i
H. Resolved, That we with feelings
Ts tbe deepest regret and cOntenpt look II
I'd ON the so called Native American part
b. that The Wbitpaty by It's union with q
I'D same identified itself as The Native AMT
icau party; that We deem its acts o.
at measures unconstitutional and who
Ily incompatible with the spirit Of our Iibt
II Il institutions, aud that individuals pr
~ Tossing such principles ste unworthy
10 being citizens Of a free government.
