THE CRIMES OF FEDERALISM.

1t has been asked, ''when will the cam
paign begin" II has begun! Both parties
are fully in the field, and their positions are
as clearly defined, as they will be six months
hence. The democracy have opened the
battle, and occupy the advantage ground
We are on the track, our opponents on the
Defence. We have declared an offensive
war against swindng and oppression we
have raised on high the standard of RE-
FORM, and struck the first blow in the civil
revolution, which is to redeem and olsen
thral Ohio.
To maint ain the position already gained
we must not waste our time, by replying to
the senseless jargon of the " Journal" and
other fed cral prints. We know the federal
lists, and we know their arguments. The
one are as treacherous as the other are false
Let themselves Crite their own arguments,
and let themselves refate them afterwards.
The sickly hearts of tyrants, ever quake
before the out5urst of political revolution
they read and tremble before the fierce
commotion of an angered and outraged peo-
pie. They see the approaching storm and
read their doom in its foreshadowed results.
We have but to make one bold, united
charge, and victory is more than had
achieved.
Let the haggard ghosts of the FOUR HUN
DRIED BROKEN BANKS; which have swindled
the people of the United States out of more
than SEVEN HUNDRED MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS! be anayed before the tribunal
of the people, as witnesses against the bank
robbers. ~ $40.
Let ,he Granville, Canton, Gallipolis,
Steubenville, and the THIRTY FIVE other
broken PLUMBER SHOPS, of Ohio, be dragged
from their graves, and their skeleton forms,
exposed in all their hideousness to the gaze
of plundered people.
Lett be proclaimed that the BANKS have
robbed the working men Of Ohio, out of
more than TWELVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, in
the short space of twelve years!
Let it be proclaimed that the federalsts
are leagued with brokers and shylocks who
loan their worthless and lying promises to
our farmers, at an illegal interest; and first
take mortgages, and afterwards rob them of
their lands, by way of exchange.
Let it be proclaimed that the federalists,
by their political proAigacy, have created
STATE DEBT OF TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS .-.... ....
Let it be proclaimed that these same fede-
ralists, after having created this MoNsTRoUs
DEBT, which hangs like night mare upon
the energies of the people, now refuse to
have the capital of bankers taxed to aid in
paying it off. ......
Let it be proclaimed that the federalists
within seven years, have enacted more than
TWO THOUSAND SPECIAL LAWS, for the bene-
fit of the few, at the expense of the many.
Let it be remembered that the fedelists
took sides against our county, in the last
war; and burned blue lights upon the New
England coasts, as signals to British Ships.
Let it be remembered that these same
federalsts, openly opposed the purchase of
Louisiana and Florida and the annexation of
Texas; and that now, they covertly oppose
our claim to Oregon.
Let it be remembered that the federalists
passed the infamous Bankrupt Law.
Let it be remembered that these same
ederalists have advocated large standing
lrmy in time of peace; but are opposed to
'aising troops in time of nOar.
Let it be remembered that these same
ederatists justified the Imprisonment of the
Patriot Dorr.
Let these, and the ten thousand other {
rimes and ourages of the federal party, be I
harged home upon them.
Let an appeal be made to the patriotism
f tho masses--let them be called upon, not
s partizans, but as freemen, TO arouse in |
efences of the free institutions of our coun I
