Elected, then, by democratic Legislature his
acts all being democratic, what are the reasons
why he is denounced by the "Banner,' lis pseuo'

Because he is in The way Of that arch d'sorsah'

will not bow to the clique who havo so long
welded political power in this State, (Which clique
only grants Eavors to man TO draw him INTO ''e
moshes of political thraldom,)-because he trusts
rather TO his own great acts of industrious etor'
10 benefit his State, for suffrage, rather than to
the dictation of a of men who fancy h'"y pos

and trust in this Sate and the right to brand their
opponents as "pira,cs," "disorsanIzers,' with

devices. But the day for the downfall ofthis clique
has come, the sceptre must depart, and the voice OF
the people vN be omnipotent, clear, dvessed oil
