The beauties OF VVhigwery!

DIR. EDIroR:-Last year before the election,
the Wings would most lovingly shake you Oy the
hand, and earnestly and imploringly beseech
you TO vote their ticket, telling you that the
Democrats had ruined the country, that they
we're bank desiructionists, that nothing but des-
oaton, poverty and destruction were before
you--'.ust this one time vote our ticket; place
us in power, and we guarantee you complete
and glorious change for the better, taxes will bel
lowered, money will be abundant, and everyI
thing will prosper, &C., &c. Thus promising,
Icajong, coaxng, cheating and lying, many un-
stable Democrats were induced TO give their
support to the Wing ticket, by which means the
Wings attained the ascendency in the Legis-
lature. We'll, what did they do? Let facts
speak!
After fighting and wrangling among them
selves for two or three months, an old double
dyed aristocrat--a federal blue-light Hartford
Conventionist, ycleped Alfred Kelley, brought
his lick-spittes to bay, and ordered them toreg-
ster ponderous volume which he saw proper
ito call 'Bdnkiag La,c." In what language II
was written, Iam moi able to determine, as none
of those who voted for it, as far as | can learn,
were able 10 explain the book, or give the inter-
pretaton thereof Our grey goose Represen-
tatve was applied TO for an explanation, but
could not begin 10 give it, However, by spell
ling and figuring, we are enabled to ascertain it
authorized some 1870 or 40 new banks, alias,
Iswinding shops, 10 be put in operation, to rob
and plunder the community at pleasure. This
book, which is thus written in unintellgbIe an
guage, will SUIT bankers very well; because, If
you corner them in one place, they can explain
hole out in another, Some honest Wings (for
there are some) have acknowledged that it is
one of the most Objectionable wholesale swind-
ling laws ever enacted by mortal man.
Next, they passed law prohibiting any person,
| under penalty of one hundred dollars, to sell,
or dispose Of, under par, any Of their deprccia-
ted bank notes, except to licensed broker, who
will of course, give for it what he pleases, and
no moro,
They also passed another BILL taxing all mo-
neys, debts, dues and demands bearing interest,
together with all capital in stock, (holy bank
stock always excepted,) all capital used in trade
of every kind and description; SO that every
pound of wool, pork, beef, and every bushcl of
wheat and ether grain we sell is taxed, yes,
often double taxed. This is lessenng burdens
and making times better with vengeance!
But when did Whiggery ever obtain power, and
not make an abuse of it?--Thcse, with multi
tude of unwise, oppressive and injudicious laws,
were passed by this famous Lord Alfred and his
coadutors,
But ! will conclude, by mentioning only one
law more that these notables have enacted
which is, the Registry law so called. IEnownot
its provisions distinctly, but understand it re-
quires every voter in the State 10 have hisname
registered previous to voting. Now, what is this
all for? Are not our election districts every
where small2 Is not every voter in them known
IIby the Trustees, or easily ascertained by them?
and why put the people to such unnecessary
trouble? Besides, lit contains any unconstitu-
tional provisions, as understand it does, who
will regard il? No one. | will guarantee that
the Trustees of Archer township, and every
other township in the State where they know
their duty, will receive and count the vote of ev.
Iery elector, who, being citizen of the United
States, has resided one year in the State, and has
: paid or is charged with State or County tax, OF
is compelled to labor on tde public highways
notwithstanding all the blue laws the wings have
passed or may pass from June to eternity.
