To the independent Voters Of Carroll;

To lne AhuepeuuCht NONSAS SA NAAAON'
FELLOW-CITIZENS;
Before another number Of our paper can
reach you all, your political power for another
vear, will be transf rred 10 the hands of your Re-
representatives.. Remember, friends, that TUES
DAY THE 18TH OF OCTOBER INST, is
YOUR DAY OF FREEDOM, OF PRIVILEGE, OF
POWER. The exercise of your franchises on that
day, fixes, for veal or wo, the interests Of our
State for twelve months, perhaps for years. Let
no man then neglect his privilege and his duty.
His negligence at such time is dangerous to his
own, and the public interests. Never has there
been time when Locofocoism was more fully
displayed in the administration of the General
Government. The TARIFF, under which the
industry of the country revived and prospered,
has been destroyed, and in its stead, Al TARIFF
has been established which has caused the BRIT
IsH PARLIAMENT and BRITISH MANUFACTURERS
TO ExULT AND REJOICE, whilst the sound of
LAMENTATIoN AND WANT is HEARD FROM the ten
thousand forges and factories Of our Ot0n country
men. A SUB-TREBsURY, which the people once
denounced in such thunder tones as drove into
retirement the prince of magcians, Martin Van
Buren, has again been dug up, and Incorporated
into the measures of Mr.. Folks administration.
This measure-intended as the precursor, the
ground Plat Of system of finance by which gold
and silver is to constitute the currency Of the
Government-by which YOUR TAXES are to be
collected in the precious metals only-by which
labor is to be reduced in value, and by which the
RICH ARE TO PROSPER and the POOR TO BE STILL
FURTHER oPPREssED,--this infamous measure
is now avowed as favorite with this administra-
lion, and unless the Wing party rise in their
power and defeat it, will, in the course of anoth-
er year, be permanently fixed upon the necks of
the people. The exercise of that single relic Of
monarchy the VETo has been used to oppose the
will of the people in the improvement of our
Lake harbors and the navigation of our Western
rivers; showing that aoih the West, aOih yOu,
citizens of Ohio, this administration has no SYM
pathy. VIII you not shew by your votes, that
you understand your own interests, and that
these destructive measures cannot receive your
approbationl If so, you will have no difficulty
in deciding between DR.. FRIES and your rillJfed
and abused, but efficient and 'ceH tried fellow
citizen VAN Brown.
Are you prepared to see the present BANKING
LAW destroyed and HARD MONEY substituted in
Ohiol Are you prepared to continue those
swindng operations by which THE STATE,
THE TAX PAYERS, HAVE BEEN DE-
FRAUDED, ROBBED OF HALF A MIL
LION OF DOLLARSl-are you prepared to
have taxation borne by the FARMERS A.
LONE,-whilst merchants, SPECTATORS, mo-
ney lenders, shavers, SHYLoCKs, are to escape!
If so, you will vote for DAVID TOP and WILLIAM
DEFoRD. If, however, you believe the existence
Of our PRESENT BANKING SYSTEM renders money
more available, procures you better prices for
your labor and your producc-if believe that
wealth, capital, PROPERTY, whether in merchan.
die, bonds, mortgages, money, or lands, should
be EQUALLY TAxED-if you are in favor ofecono'
my in the administration of our State Govern
ment, and the removal of plunderers from places
of trust, you will vote for WILLIAM BEBB ant
JOHN BEATTY.
BE NOT DECEIVED, you have incontesta
Bile proof that the issues we have pointed out arc
the true issues between the parties at the presen
election. Our opponents are already fearful o
the result, are endeavoring to escape them o.
hide them from the people.
WHIGS OF CARROLL, YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE THE POWER in your own hands
let not supineness or apathy place it in the hands
cf the destructives. NO WHIG can, at such
time refuse to poll his rote Uithou UrOnging him
self and violating his duty as a freeman. A
your privileges, felOw-citizens, are greater thai
those Of any other people on earth, so are tn
duties arising therefrom weightier and more re
sponsble. As you prize these privileges, be vi
gilant in the performance ofyour duty. GO tt
THE POLLS-GO EARLY-and see that eve
ry hill and every valley sends its last voter
Letnone remain from his post and his duty. w
appeal to you, as having interests in commo
with you all. And in the name of our commo
country and her dearest interests, we beseach yo
to AWAKEl AROUSE! and SHAKE OFF THI
DEW DROPS THAT GLITTER ON YOUl
GARMENTS, AND MARCH ONCE MORl
TO BATTLE AND TO VICTORY.
REMEMBER THE MEETINGS!
