'" ~ "hhNht, anu heartily coincide with Us
M the important questions OF State and Ma
lonai policy now underdiscussion For two
successive years, notwithstanding the heavy
TRAIT made on our ranks 10y the Liberty party
organization, the bIllot-box has shown a de
cidcd prcpondemnCc &C Whis strength over
The opposition. The vote poilcd last fall was
greater byJOrfy thousand than had ever before
been given in the State, yet there was major
lty al sir thousand votes for Mr. CLAW over
MI. Polk. with vote of 5000 for Birnev
mainly taken from the Wing ranks. This
shows 1t seems To us, Conclusivcly. that there
iSand always has been u very decided Wing
majority IN Oaio. But, when we speak of u
vast majority in favor uf the measures and pol-
icy OF the late Wing Legislature. we do not
design to limit the bearing of our remarks To
those only who lave be N iden flied through
evil as we'll a. good report with the wing par
~ proper Evidence comes To us through
thousand channels that a very large number oi
those who have been identified with the oppo-
si,ion and who voted against Henry CLAY i'm
the late cont ST. are. at heart with US on the
questions oi State policy now presented to
their consideration. Strong n are the ties of
party and the ligamcnts of party drill these
men, II the issues were fairly presented in; nm.
and they felt that vote for a locofoco candi-
datf next October was equivalent to a dccla-
ration of hostility Ia the Banking Law, the
amended Tax Law, &c. &c, would manfullv
~ To the hllot-box and dcposite their ballot
IN favor ot the Wing candidates. Most un
questionably would this be the case. if they
thought those measures would b. endangered
by failure to cast their vote i'm their behalf
! But, attempts have been made and will be-
made to divert attention from the true issues
and the actual designs of the party. As in
PENNSYLVANIA, on the Tariff question, many
will be led To believe that the election oi their
party candidates will not cndanger the meas
ures established by the Wings, aud that there
Is. IN reality, no design entertained of casting
the State loose again from her safe moorings.
In Montgomery county, Ga very closely divi-
died county,) few days since, i. is said one
oi the locoioco nominees for Representative
declared IN convention that he should not 90
Tor the repeal of the Bank Law, thus design
ing In lull the voters 10 sleep, in a contest
where every vote L. important. Where there
are large locoioco majorties, as in Hamilton
and IN the north west, this Disguise is not con-
siiered necessary, and Is not, therefore, as
sumrd. BY secret plots and general under
standing the party leaders will be allowed to
play the gam. considered most eilectual, while
III the end every locoioco member returned
will be found a sworn adhcrent 10 the edict of
the party caucus in favor of Repeal Ii is
from Il conviction that many NAV be thus de-
ceived nddeterrcd from voting their true sem
/ timcnts, we have on all occasions placed in
our columns the authoritative exposition of
party views and designs that cmanate from
the oraces of the opposition. and urged that
men of all parties should look the question
iairly IN the face, rise above party and 90 to
the polls determined To vote their true senti-
mcnts and for those who would carry them
out. II there are Wings who favor the policy
NJ
. fecily willing TO see them cast their votes for
locoioco candidates. To show that we have
no fears ON this point, and that we ask moth
ing more To insure success than Il lair present
alton OF their issues by our opponents them
selves, and general understanding among ali
parties oil the consequences to follow the cleo
ton OF Locotoco Legislature, we once more
allow the Statesman To speak through our col
umns. False and unfair as is the coloring
given TO the bearing of Wing measures, we are
willing II should pass, as there is intelligence
enough abroad i'll the State to set the matter
right. The voters of Ohio need not TO be told
what will he the effect of the measures of the
last Legislature. a portion of them have al
ready been tried, and they will be judged by
their fruits. We only ask that, in the coming
contest, those who have acted with the oppo-
sition heretofore, should come up to the polls
with proper understanding of the importance
oi the issues and a determination to vote their
true sentiments and the result will be such a
rcbuke to the Dcstructivas as they have never
before received. They will never again raise
their heads iii Ohio, to breathe their pestilent,
prosperity destroying sentiments.
