DEMOCRATS KEEP 1T IN MIND.

This is the language efthe Kalida Venture,
an unadulterated Locofoco paper. The Ven
ture has changed hands lately. Mr.. Knapp
has retired, and Mr.. Mackenzie takes his
place. He signalizes the commencement of
his labors, by an avowal of a design that is
secretly cherished by the hard money lead
ers of tho Locofoco party of Ohio. He but
echoes, however, the sentiment promulgated
by the Statesman and echoed along the line
of the faithful Just after the adjournment Of
the Legislature. He makes it little more
conspicuous, by placing it in bold print, al
the head of his editorial column; but we are
more inclined to respect than to censure him
for this. A bold and manly opponent is al
ways more to be respected than one who
skulks and attempts under cover TO carry
out his objects. The Venture occupies the
ground on which our opponents are 10 stand
in the coming campaign with this difference
only: The estate Bank'' is used as aneth-
er name fer the whole Bank Bill, adopted by
the late Legislature This is the ground as
sumed at the outset. T. w. BARTLEY, in
the message he delivered (by permission) to
the Legislature, took most unequivocal
ground in opposition 10 free Banking. AT
it, as the system he supposed to be must in
favor, he levelled his heaviest metal. The
game was we'll followed by his friends, the
hards, and complete issue is thus made up.
We meet it fearlessly, and call upon all to
choose their position for the campaign
Attempts will doubtless be made to obscure
the true issues and introduce those entirely
foreign to the next contest in the State
But we shall take good care and defeat this
game of deception. II has been PLAYED too
often TO delude any.-Ohio State Journal.
We would not have been more surprised at pure
air issuing from the fetid charnel-house, than at
receiving commentator for bold and manly con-
duct from TEEsDALE of the Ohio State Journal! !!
What great wrong we have committed we know
not; we have not supported England's claims to-
Oregon against our own convictions of right, nor
have we insisted that it was 6 iniquitous'' to pre-
vent England's running the trade of the south, by
annexing Texas; we have neither shook hands
with treason prostrated ourselves with the wor-
shippers of mammon, and we feel entitled to re-
sent any hypocrtica "respect" from such al
source. There are those whose 6 curses arel
compliments" and such are the only favors we
ask from the Journal While in one sentence W
are charged with avowing " design that is secret
ly cherished by the hard money leaders, of tn
party in the next it is stated that this secret desg,
is but echoed from g the sentiment promul gated
by the STATESMAN and echoed along the line O.
the faithful just after the adjournment of the le
gislature." So this crafty pretence about 6 secre
design,'' is humbug on his own showing, and
we must consequently BE undcserving of his res
pect, and feel heartily glad of it.
The Journal labors to persuade its readers tha
opposition to Banks of circulation and discount
confined to few factious and wrong-heade
individuals, while it we'll knows that large me
oritv OF the intelligent men of our party and SOM
even who cali themselves Wings, not only doubt
the usefulness of Bank regulation by law, but
are we'll satisfied that the Bank law passed by the
last Legislature can no otherwise result than in
fluctuations and distress-fraud, subserviency and
pipe-aying on thep part of its borrowers, and wide
decentralization in the general crash and insolvency
which must be the closing scene of the sharping
institutions to which it gives life
an issue should be made between the advantages Of
gold and silver currency and apaper Gu rrsncy'
The editor, from his associations among all the
deceny, may not be aware of the changes which are
going on in the minds fpractical business men on
this subject---else this would be the last issue he
would seek to encounter. We venture to predict
that whenever this is made the issue, that
though VIC may lose for time a few self interes-
ted and waverng men, the curse of any party,)
and may possibly have to succumb temporarily
such declaration would ultimately bring us
numbers from the whig ranks and secure to us q
firm and stable triumph, changing the vacilation
now the reproach of our elections, into perma-
nence and ixedness. If the Editor cannot see
this, we have but as small an opinion of his
sagacity as those who are most intimate with him
have of his candor. w
