Democratic Voters of Harrison Co:


To the Democratic Voters Of Harrison Co:
| would crave your particular attention while |
offer 10 you for consideration few remarks on
some of the subjects connected with and to be
decided at the ensuing election.
The political principles professed by the
self-styled wings will, on fair investigation, be
found TO be the same principles prOfessedby the
old black cockade federal party by whom the
alien and sediuon laws were enacted. The con-
test in which the Democrats in Ohio are at this
time engaged with the wings, and which will be
decided by the result of the coming election is
to them as political party, contest of greater
importance than any in which they have been
heretofore engaged with the federalsts, under
whatever party name they have acted, as the re-
suit of that election will determine whether Ohio
lis hereafter TO be considered as a whg state, or
that she recover her former democratic character
and place among the democratic states,
! The whigs of this county are making their ar
Engagements preparatory TO the election, and as
deception appears 10 be the main spring of action
by which all their other measures are kept in
motion witness the cry raised by them as TO what
great things the whig legislature had done for
Y the people, by reducing and equalizing the taxes,
but, 10! when the matter came TO be fully inves-
| tigated, the manner in which they had equalized
4 the peoples taxes was that they had taxed the
wealthy banker on his profits only, whilst all 9th
ers were taxed on the whole amount of their cap
Iital--I would therefore warn you TO guard against
all the devices practsed by them for deceving
II the unwary, lest some of you should be so far de-
ceved as TO be drawn of from the support of
those great and important principles for which
the democrats are contending, by either voting
with them or not voting at all. 1t will require
of you both vigilance and union TO enable you 10
counteract their plans, would therefore impress
upon you the necessity of both vigilance and
union, SO that you may be able TO present to them
an unbroken front when the day Of trial comes.
Past experience fully proves that you can be
successful when united, and as a convention of
delegates called from the different townships for
the purpose Of selecting candidates for Office has
heretofore, when regularly attended TO, been
means of promoting union amongst you, it has
been again attended to, and convention Of del
egates has been appointed for that purpose But
that it would be impossible for any set Of men
chosen for that purpose to make such a selection
| Of candidates for office as would satisfy every
one of the party for whom the selection was made
will, presume, be freely admitted; therefore 10
enable them to ascertain as near as possible who
would be the choice of the aiority Of those for
whom the selections are made as their candi-
dates for all the Offices TO be filed the delegates
from the different townships are instructed by
those by whom they are appointed, who are thus
chosen as candidates. As a matter Of course,
there will be some diversity of opinion amongst
the members of convention when met, at least
with regard TO some of those whose names have
hpnn hrourbt bc cFrrn fhop, nc nonJiG iG1to fhnrn-
fore, in order to obyiato any difficulty that may
occur in such cases, the claims of all these men
are decided by vote, and none of them are nom
mated but those who have received majority
Of all the votes of all the members of the con-
vention. Here it can be nearly asceraned who
are the choice Of the majority of those for whom
the selection has been made as their candidate
for office, and surely it is the bounden duty Of
the minority TO submit TO the will Of the MAORI
,Ity when known. AS ticket has been formed
by your late convention in conformity with the
foregoing regulations as the ticket to be sup
ported by you, and as all the men whose names
are on that ticket are men of uneXcoptionable
character not only as democrats, but as mem
bers Of society generally, and when the success
of the democratic party in this county depends
upon the success Of that ticket surely there is no
real democrat who will permit either personal
dislike to, Or preferences for, any man or set Of
men, or any other considerations whatever, to
prevent him from voting the whole Of that ticket.
As it is the good old democratic principles for
which the democrats in this county are contend
lug, and as the success of those principles de-
pends on the success Of that ticket, moments
serious reflection must convince any real demo
crat that by either negecting or refusing to vote
that whole ticket he would be chargeablo with a
dercliction of those principles, ! would, there
fore, conjure you, as you regard the success O.
those principles, that every one of You attend OF
= the day of election and vote for every man whose
name is on that ticket. In the belief that yot
will do SO, believe that | may in anticipation
. congratulate you on a complete victory.
: Those of my old friends who have been accns
) toned to the reading of my communication
some eight or ten years back, will easily discoye
y the old man in this believe that they will al
! so discover in it that | have been actuated b.
the same motives by which haze been actua
ted in my political course through life, whcl
has been the promoting, by every honorable
IS means in my power, the success Of our good oil
e Democratic principles.
