that surrounded the halls of legislation-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
that we had, by the publication Of eur paper,
annoyed the coon party and the ACCl-l
DENTAL majority now in the Legislature
"a majority obtained by the most inexcusa-
bic 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 iniquitous projects of the
whig majority in their schemes to debase
and bow down the white laboring man of
the State, while they were attempting to
gain little additional popularity by pretend
ing TO 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 legs-
lation into their nightly cabal, and they le-
gisated 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

their acts and doings in this hastily thrown
together prospectus, prepared at 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 90 into
detail hereafter, and bring to the light of day
the conduct of this thing called wHIeGERY
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 its
services. Their acts alone cannot compel me
to bow before the nefarious despotism of the
dregs of coonery, hard cider, and the esta-
blished immoralites of Mr.. Clay and the die
tators of his party. They cannot accom-
plish their purposes, if the democrats of Ohio,
10 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
the common honesty that has heretofore
protected all my predecessors of whatever
party. But brainless crew of maddened
whigs-federalists of the deepest dye, con-
scious of their own bad standing-have out
stripped every thing that revolution has here
tofore conceived.
