| 0r 1t is said to be notorious fact that
Colonel Weller was not only shot at the bat
tie of Monterey, but that 1t was afterwards
ascertalned that he was actually sie,oed--
Whig Papers.
Yes and 1T is said to be notorious fact
that Wing editors are productive editorial
writers, for the above has been in several
whig prints, and each claim it as original.
Well now this is dsgraceu to rob the whelp
of this splendid article, for if there is any
thing great in it, let the father have the laurels
and not the pups; and should the great genius
produce any more just like it, he certainly
will be rewarded by some ofthe Wing editors,
who were trying to be great at his expense. It
is certain fact that John B. Wellers speeches
are sckening to the Whig editors, eor truth
they have ever detested, and would even
slander the person who would tell the truth
about their party. Men who would stoop so
low to ride into office, by tfaddcing mans
private character, would dig him up from the
grave to get to cut his throat. What influence
can a bare faced falsehood have-one that
can be detected on the very sheepsh coun-
tenance Of the persons who send it forth!
But fatsehapasppsar TO be the only relic,
that Wing editfs can get to setl!s,ther sick
stomachs, since they haye got to vots for a
man who dare not say he will swallow that
bitter pill Zack Taylor. By the time the
filthy editors of the Wing Journals have as-
certalned' the result of the election, they will
be actually Slowed if not badly tour for it
is said that in 1910 that they loved to be shot
SO well, that they drank 'hard cider and
whiskey' all the time. MIR. editors strike
again, for it is very common for shot men to
make blunders, fall down and crack their
gourds.

THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES,

During the Revolution the partie went by
the names of Republican an Tory; the pres
ent Democratic party was the republican par.
ty Of that day. The Tory party becoming
sick of their name, changed it to Federal, and
this afterwards, throught their desperate
movements, became unpopular, and another
change became necessary, and they now
sometimes call themselves Wings; sometimes
Democratic Whgs,and sometimes Democrats.
But the Democra Is retain the same good old
name, althought the Wings attempt to give
them other names. That party call US loco
ocos; and if we go by that name for a few
years it will become SO popular that they will
st cal it, and call themselves Democratic Loco
foco Wings.

Turn out to the polls on TUESDAY, 10Th
DAY OF OCTOBER, and do your duty, and
the credit Of your country will be saved from
the stigma of electng man who has made
tory speeches and condemned our government
and army for carrying on an unjust, unholy
and damnabIe war as he has called it. Ford
the Wing candidate for Governor of Ohio,
upon the day of his nomination, made speech
against our country and in favor Of Mexico
that might have done credit to any Mexican,
and now you are asked to vote for him. You
who love your country and desire to sesh her
rights defended, will you vote for Ford, who
has attempted to prove your enemy right and
you wrong! We think not.

to hear the truth defended, Democratic prln-
ciples promulgated and the rights of all men
protected, attend at the Court house, at early

Democrats, turn out and hear your candl~

Democrats, 60 to the polls early on Tues.
day the 10th Of October, prepared to refute all
base lies and to cast your votes for the Dem
ocratic nominees. Ifyour friends and neigh
bors are not out, go and bring them Let no
foul Federal slander keep you from the cleo
tion, Gos-such is the way the federast always
SIGHT. Lies and falsehoods will mark their
actions until their defeat is established, and
more particularly this time than ever before,
as they have not principle upon which to
rally. No Wing can tell Gen. Taylor's opin
ion upon one subject. He is a slave holder,
and evinces desire to extend slavery, is one
of the most prominent features in his actions
at this time. The Democratic cause is as
sacred now as when you first elected the la
mented Jackson, and should have your whole
support. Rally your whole forces to the polls
IN support of Cass, Butler and Weller, who
have desire to promote the good of all our
people-who think that all men are alike
worthy of protection.
Democrats, do your whole duty upon this
very important occasion, while your country
and your rights demand It.

ISLANDER AND LIEs-A WING GAME.


The Federal Sheets every place, with The
exception of Col. Weer's home, ar Oosily
engaged in circulating the black hearted and
acknowledged lie, that Col. Weller is de
faulter. This base slander was once put to
rest, but as II is coming near the election, it
has to be put in circulation again. Let those
protesting honesty and religion, who circulate
this base and wlful LIE, remember that the
election will soon be over, and their corrup.
tion will be found out, and they held up to
scorn.
Democrats, remember, that two weeks from
Tuesday, you will be called upon to cast your
votes for Col John B. Weller, who went and
fought The battles of your country, or for Sea-
bury Ford, who remained at home and made
tory speeches, similar to that of Corwin's,
where he said he would welcome our army
with bloody hands to hospitable graves!'-
Now which will you choose, the brave Col.
Weller. who rsked his life in defence of our
or Ford, who made speeches against
our country

moved at an infinite distance from the Presiden-
cy." But sinister Jackson" was an "Od Hick-
ory" in the hands of the people, and they made
him president.
When General Harrison was named for the
Presidency he was also ridiculed and sneered at
by the Same Hunker politicians, and they re-
ProachiuIIy consigned Granny Harrison" to
his Log Cabin upon the Ohio. there to drink
hard cider during the remnant of his days."
Blu" "GraLny Harrison" became "Old Tippe-
canoe" with the People, and they placed him in
the Presidential Chair.
And now that General Taylor is nominated
for the Presidency, the same ofice-holding Hun
kers, say that he don't know anything, never
read the Constitution, and is only man whom
President Polk sentto Mexicoto fight for shin. {"
