WHIGS OF CARRoLL-TO THE POLLSl
On Tuesday next the people of Ohio will be
called upon to decide one Of the most important
polilical contests ever decided in this State. To
the Wings especially, it is a contest Of the great
es, moment. On its result depends not only the
preservation Of our present Bank and Tax laws,
but, it may be, the perpetuity Of our republican
government. II the Wings Of Ohio, through 7,
their apathy permit their opponents to gel the as.
tendency in the Legislature, ourpresont admirable
system of Banking will be repealed, the present
equal and just system OF taxation will be blotIed
from our statutes, and the old, unjust, unequal
and and to large portion Of our cirizans, oPpres'
ave system, again adopted. The punlerer5 will I
ugain bo lei loose upon our public works, and Of
fetal corruption will exist in every department Of
the State Government. The credit Of the State
will be destroyed, and its bonds again sold at ru'
inous sacrifices. A pampcrcd and scurrulous
parlizan press will be kept up at the expense of
the State, and Sam. Medary, of quasi quire noto-
retv, again be made Stale pensioner. Former
experience if We regard her lessons, warns us
Of the dire(ul consequence we may expect from
II revival Of Loco(oco measures in Ohio. The
Wings, when they came into power, found the
ship Of Stale ahoat on boiSlerou5 sea, without
= compass; with population on one side and
viliated currency on the other. Each surge
seemed 10 render destruction more inevitable.
The people were without currency, or with
currency of deprecated value. Taxes, esPeci'
ally on the laborng portion Of the people, we're
oppressive, and the means Of paying them hard
to get. The Wings set themselves to work to
remedy the existing evils, and, although three
years have not yet elapsed, the affairs of the State
are now in very prosperous condition. Wings
Of Ohiol Do you value your present prosperity
Do YOU appreciate a currency of your owni Do
you prefer the present equal system OF taxation'
or would you return to the old one! Are you in
favor of paying the interest on our State debt,
and finally iquidaring the debt itself! or would
you resort to repudaonl--tha panacea OF Lo'
corocoism, mode Of quidatng State debt ad'
vocated, and roted for, by a very prominent mem
Der of the Locofoco party in this county, whilst
he was in the Legislature. Do you wish to see
the credit Of your State untarnishedE or would
YOU let it once more sink TO the depths from
which it has lately been raised' Do you desire

horde that in by-gone days, enriched themselves
by plundering youl In short, would you enjoy
general prosperi,yl or general adyersiry3 One
or the other Of these will be the inevitable con-
sequence Of your decision on Tuesday next.
Wings of Carrol Youropponentsare strain
