NEW PROSPECTUS OF the
OIEIO STATES M A N

Last night-in the darkness and gloom
that surrounded the halls of legslaton--the
foul deed was consummated, and the solemn
contract with the State for the Legislative
printing was violated, out of pure POLITICAL
SPITE! No other reason was assigned than
4hat we had, by the publication Of our paper
annoyed the coon party and the ACCl-
DENTAL majority now in the Legislature
"a majority obtained by the most nexcusa-
Bile divisions of our friends in three Senatorial
districts. This accidental power, in viola
ton of all right, justice, or precedent, was
welded expressly 10 cripple and break down
the only press at the Capital that dare be in
dependent, and warn the people of the
chains forging in the Legislature for their
oppression and slavery. We DARED assail
and expose the inquitous projects of the
wbig majority in their schemes 10 debase
and bow down the white laborng man of
the State, while they were attempting 10
gain little additional popularity by pretend
ing 10 elevate the negro and encourage his
settlement, amongst US.
We DARED expose their midnight tin-pan-
ming, which they pretended 10 denounce
when before the people, and when entrusted
with power, follow-not in the nomination
of officers alone, as the democrats did-but
by carrying their whole wicked acts of legis
lation into their nightly cabal, and they le-
gislated in secret! We DARED expose their
repeal of laws passed for the protection of
the people restricting corporations, &C.
laws some of which have been in force for
twenty and twenty-five years, and thus turn
ing loose upon society every possible crime
and iniquity. But'we shall not particularizo
their acts aud doiugs in this hastily thrown
together prospectus, prepared al the moment
of leaving home in consequence of The news
of the sickness of one Of our family now
east of the mountains. We shall go into
detail hereafter, and bring TO the light Of day
the conduct of this thing called wHIGGERY
in Ohio. | shall teach this party that PER-
sEcUTIoN cannot either stop or depress the
spirit of an independent press, as long as the
unbought freemen Of the State demand IFS
services. Theiracts alone cannot compel me
TO bow before the nefarous despotism of the
drogs of coonery, hard cider, and the esta-
blished mmoraities of MIR. Clay and the die
tators of his party. They cannot accom-
plish their purposes, if the democrats Of Ohio,
TO whom am indebted for so many favors,
stand by me in this crisis. | have stopped
at no expense or labor, TO fulfil my part of
the contract as State Printer. ] accepted
the office in good faith. relied on the
guarantees of law and the constitution, and
ihe common honesty that has heretofore
protected all my predecessors of whatever
party. But brainless crew of maddened
whgs-federaliss of the deepest dye, con-
scious of their own bad standng-have out
stripped every thing that revolution has here
tofore conceived.

quites and ouhages Of federal whggery, and
particularly the infamous aud unparalleled
proceedings Of the present Legislature.
