" We understand that the next
term Of the Court Of Common Pleas is
to commence its session for this county
on the l7th Of February next. -.
We are United.

We have not seen nor heard of o
Democratic paper in the State. If we
except the Wayne County Standard
which does not hail with enthusiastic
rejoicing the nomination of DAVID
TOD, as the Democratic candidate for
Governor at the approaching election;
and although some Of these papers had
doubted the propriety oftaking the open
and decided stand which the party now
occupy upon the currency question, yet
they are determined so enter into the
coming contest with renewed vigor,
and that they will never surrender their
principles or be disheartened, though
for time they may be overcome by
defeat, while there is even a vestige of
monopoly within the borders Of Ohio.
The democracy Of Ohio are contending
for the establishment Of the principles
Of equal righh--of equal and exa;.
justice to all men. and they will not
basely desert these principles. 1t is
not for the purpose Of giving office to
any man or any set Of men that we
contend; Tor, if we were base enough
to do that, we might be willing to bar.
ter ourselves for the lying promises of
a set Of worthless banSs, TO do their
bidding.

es.ly differ with US in relation to the
policy Of the step thus taken. We ask

abIed 10 elect few men from our ranks
10 fill some Of the petty Offices Of the
Statc-but the power that we have
held was powerless to effect the re,
forms we sought, and the Offices which
have been filed by us have not enabled
US 10 accomplish the end we desired.
The banks and the bankers have de-
c!ared that they will not be subservient
10 the laws which we have enacted for
the protection Of the people agains: the
frauds which had so long been practic,
ed upon them-.hat they will not per-
nit themselves 10 be held responsible
for their debts in the same manner that
individuals and unincorporated compa-
MES are responsible for theirs--that
they have been exempted from the
taxation which individual members Of
society are compelled to pay. And
we ask, is it not in vain that we hope to
accomplish the end which we have so
long and so ardently sought!
