Democratic Republicans of Ohio:

The contest has commenced. We are in
the midst of mighty conflict! As vigilance
is the price of liberty, Patriots must awake
to the interests of the country, which de-
mands at your hands hearty cooperation in
the work of reforming federal bank leglsla'
tions and misrule. 1t is not too late to save
the country from the dynasty of banks, which
have been brooding over the miseries of the
people, like the pestilence borne onward by
the demon of destruction. Come boldly for
ward, then and staunch the wounds inflicted
upon US by federal legislationf and prepare
for the coming bank expansions which will
soon take place, and beware of those who
have deceived the people, for if they again
get the preponde1ance, in the Legislature they
will force re-charter of all their incorpora-
tions, sound or unsound, upon us, and rot
ten, political, rnonied power which is now
free from taxation will rule over us.
The banks are formidable, arrayed as they
are against us, but they must not and will not
triumph over us, If we co our duty. Their
whole political strength will be in the field
the nominations of their candidates will be
made In the secret conclaves Of the banks
themselves-those who follow them, will
have little or no voice in the selection of can
didates-interested bank partzans will be
selected to oppose the democracy. Federal
bank whiggery regards TIE length and weight
of the purse, and values men as it does bank
Stock, cattle or chattles. Democracy regards
the consciences and equal rights Of men as
accountable beings, and not the sordid trap.
pings with which wealth has bedecked few
bank nabobs, who will rule and ruin the coun-
try provided you give them the ascendancy-
For us to prove their assertions is unneces-
sary. When you read of their proceedings,
when you see their forgerles, and falsehoods
brought to light is it not enough? if not, read
of the scandal and abuse heaped upon the
greatest Statesmen and patriots in our coun>
try. And then look at the intrigues of their
leglslations, and ask yourselves and your
neIghbors, Shall they have the ascendency
Hope CLEANS upon us and the prospects
brighten. We are cheered by the dawn of a
brighter day. Our principles ale before tn e
