A V0tce IRON old EkeskAHE! III
The last Nerark coastiutioaalisi comes to
is with an admirable article on the issues made
II the late sth Of January Convention, written
with all the point and sigot which distinguish the
productions Of our friend GLEssvER. 1t is one
Of The numerous evidences which are reaching
US by every mail, showing that the democratic
press of Ohio has planted itself upon The right
ground, audlhat, sgealpr wp bedde, it is deter
mined to fght the battle upon Tie issues made
by the convention, so long as il has a shot TO
throw at The enemy. The Constitg.:iondAst is |
worthy Of its high name, and we have no doubt
thai ii will render such an aecount-of old Lick
ing next October, as viii add new glory 10 the |
democracy Of ihat honored county
We append the article referred 10, and com
mend it to the perusal ofeVery man before whom
il may come; LStatesnlan.
TnE IssuE-Opposition TO every species of
chartered monopoly, is one of the fundamental
Idogmas Of the democratic creed--and this creed
has its vitality in the gto9t republican principle
tof equal rights. All special grants of power and
privilege, by legislative authority, intended to1
confer mmnnities upon one portion Of the COM
Imuuity. which are not free 10 be enjoyed by ev-
cry other, arc in direct conrnvention of fhe lei
ter and spirit Of this creed, and hence become,
Legitimate subjects of opposition by all who hold.
lilo the correctness OF the republican principles of
/ the great founder Of democracy, TuoMAs JhFF-
IERsoN II is, therefore, an abuse of the very
name and nature of Democracy, TO atiemptlto
connecI any thing with il not reconcieable with
the great republican feature Of EQUAL RIGHTS
Holding 10 the correctness Of this position, the
Democratic Convention OH the Sth OF JQnnaFy,
Iplauted itself on the high ground Of OPPOSE
1TION TO ALL MONOPOLIES!!! and rallying
around this standard, the Democracy of Ohio
have resolved to battle unt every barrier Which
Irestrans the energies Of our peopIe--whch
Ichecks the onward march of our glorious repub
.ilcan institutions, and the last relic of federalism
|shalI have been obliteratcd from the statute book
Iof Ohio
We are essentially party of progress--olr
doctrines invite and teach us 10 go forward; tp
Iexteud our heaven-iayored principles, pure rs
,Iihev were bequoathed to us by our VenerateH
fathers upon the consecrated fields Of thetFeya-
luton, over the length and breadth Of the land,
!, until the mighty energies OF mankind shall grasi
lin and enjoy in their full fruitoH, all the benefits
Iand the great results which must and will flow
out Of these principles, when they have attained
Ito their climax; when the polltcaImllleninm shal
have dawned upon our country, and the oppress
lions and deusions of federalism shall have beer
scattered as chaf before the wind.
1t has been allotted 10 the democracy of tht
J great State Of Ohio, to lead his progression--
land they have entered upon the work fully reali
lzing the responsibilities which it imposes upol
-lthem. Ours are people 'who kno" theirrights
} and kno,cing, DARE maintain them'--Who neve
/, shrink from duty through fear of any RESPONSE
jbhity it may involve, but who enter upon itwitl
s Ia more determined aacrty OH that account. Gu
Z state is bnrhened beyond endurance with mono
+, Ipolies-the effects Of special Legislation are seel
3 and felt in every nook and corner Of it. Tn
p pIindugtry and energy of the myrIads of workln!
j men in Ohio, are crippled and ground down b
perverted and unequal legislation. by which
G flew are benefited, andthe many are injured an'
0 Oppressed.
