Ills well known to the Northern Dcmocracy
that this bin must prove highly detrimental u
Northern labor-and the democratic members
from Ohio have given il their support with full
belief, that in doing 50, they sacrifice Northern
interest to "suppou an exclusive Southern chi.
yalry." lnpr0or Of this, hear Mr.. BrulcrholI,
and observe his course. Previous to the vote
upon the FINAL passage Of the Bill, Mr. Brnkcr.
hoffdecared il 10 b. his own, and the determine.
tion Of every democratic member from Ohio, To
oppose its final passage. His objections were Of
two kinds, "objoctions which might be got over"
and objections which were "insuperable." The
first had reference to certain discrimations-
taxing wine 40 per cent, and spirits lOO-luxing
wool 10 per cent. and woOlcn goods 2O-taxing
raw hide 8 per cent. and leather 2O-and al.
though he believed these injurious TO Ohio, they
could "be got over" The tax on tea and coffee,
however, was an insupcrable objection. This,

delegation of Ohio, for the mere purpose of
pleasing this administration and for nothing else
under heaven, were going 10 tax the stomGchs

from the spoils Of office. All Offices were given
to the South, and now they want all the COM
forts of life. Well, ''we will not consent to tax
the stomachs Of the people to please either this
administration or its orgaa'-and now, We wise
men, mark the conditions. "If our people can
not have their share Of office and Of influence,
life." "We can defeat your bill and will deica,
your BILL" Now, here terms are laid down..
Give US Office and influence, and deprive us of
the comforts of life, or, ifyou will hold on to the
offices, we will defeat your bill, and thereby Sc
cure to our people the comforts of life. Well,
what do the administration and the Southern
members do! Remove the insupcraJle objcc.
tons, by allowing Tea and Ooflce upon the list
free ofduty, and the objections that "may be got
oycr," are easily removed upon the terms laid
down. In what manner this "frec delegation Of
Ohio" have "got over" these objections, the fu.
turc distribution Of Office and influence will cx-
plain.
VIII it be denied, hereafter, that the selcstylcd
democratic party sis held together by the cohe-
sive power Of party plundcr" VIII it be denied
that they are willing to sacrifice the interests Of
thorown constituents, in order to gcttheir hands
into the public treasury! viii it be denied that
this administration, Southern administration,
uses the patronage Of the government for the
corrupt purpose of forcing destructive measures
upon the free laborers of the North! Will it be
denied that the free-ycs they style themselves
free-the "irce delegation OF Ohio" are willing
to let themselves out for this corrupt purpose
are willing to sacrifice the interest of Ohio wool
growers and all northern laborcrs, for the low
price of "o6ice and inRuence?" Ifthe unblushing
ayowal Of corrupt motives, made by the free de-
legation from Ohio, can find appreciation among
the people, we will admit we have mistaken their
character. The second Tuesday of October
will tell whether the people of Ohio are willing
that they ''shall be deprived ofthe comforts of
life" in order that the "lree delegation" may re-
vel in the spoils of ''ollice and influence"
