The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1847-02-19

Oh the same year:
"In all evil hour, MI. Jefferson gained
the Presidential chair. Our country, then
prosperous, has been grievously oppressed by
runous commercial restrictions, which, for
many years, have been wantonly imposed BY
the Government of the United States; and
its measure Of iniquity is noiO filled up BY a
declaration Of ioar against Great Brituin--
a ,sar impolitic, unnecessary, and unjust.
Sour common interests, liberties, and
safety, are noo 1872 more injured opposed
and endangered, by the doings Of our o,ca
National Government, than they mere when,
in IT'S, ,ce took up arms to protect AID de-
fend them against the measures of the British
Government"
The United States Gazette, Of Philadel-
pha, held forth as follews duing the last
war:
The war is purely Democratic. II was
undertaken for Democratic aud not for
national purposes Let DEMOCRATS, there
fore terminate il in the best manner they can.
We HAVE NO PARTNERSHIP IN THE MATTER.
We say again. let the Democrats end their
ridiculous war il the best way they can; and
| if, in SO doing, they surrender any Of our es-
sential rights, the nation will employ COM
petcnt man for the recovery ofthem." y
" The war has hitherto beon the war of a
party. Let ii so continue, and SO be ter
minated! The diegrdcs will then continue
to be the disgrace of the party, and not of
the nation-A COMBINATION DEyeUrLY TO
BE wIsHEp. Let those who have hitherto
abstained from the war continue 10 abstain,
and thereby preserve the honor, and 50 far
as they still remain, the resources Of the
COUNTRY FOR THE EVENTS WHICH
ARE TO FOLLOW!" 2 W
The Wotcester Spy, Of 1914, has the fol
lowing very pitiiul, grave, disconsolate, and
solemn declarations, as to the justice, of the
war Of 1912. The editor Of th,t paper is
more honest than some Of his kindred; he
does not dodge Federalism at all:
We have uniformly entered our solemn
protest against this desolating war, Which
originated. in the icicked, malignant passions
of d corrupt and imbecile Government"
"No republican, people were ever SO har-
assed, perplexed, and disgraced, by cap
ticns and corrupt set 0, rulers, as the people
Of this country"
"SucH Government is worse than none"
nThe evils the Federaliss have long pre-
dicted are th;ckening upon US, and in oul
affection lei us always remember, 1t is James
Madison and his PARTY that hare brought
these calamities on u.s."
