guns, have not arrested your attention and cali |
ed you TO your posts, il will balm vain that we,
with feeble cry, should endeayor TO arouse you
from your eihargy. But it cannot be that you
vet repose in iancied securiiyl We will not be-
lieye that you still talk Of ''Peaee, peace" when
there is no peace. We have nothing TO fear
from the enemy, our danger is in the apathy
Of our friends. Fully aroused TO the dangers
which threaten the State, and the Wings Of
Ohio will triumph. We trust they are so a.
reused that Locofocoism, with all It's trcasona-
Bile, destructive train, will, in this campaign, be
efFeclualy and forever silonced. We do trust
that dsm0gogues will receive such arebuke from
an indignant people, that the advocates Of Re
volulion, Reputation, and Anarchy, now so
bold-vill no where dare avow their accursed
sentiments.
Let it be remembered that the Locoiocos
openly declare their determination to control
the Legislature Of the State, or prevent legisa'
lon altogether. Whether in the minority or
the majority LocofocOs must govern. "Rue
or Ruin" is their motto, Have they not de.
clared that without special session of the lie.
gslalure the Constitution will be at an end al-
ter the second Tuesday of October. That the
| Legislature will also be at an end. Have they
not declared it the duty of the Democracy to
elect as many Locoioco Representatives and
Senators as possble-who shall refuse to serve
as Legislators. And thus, unless quorum of
rwo-THDs be elected from the Wing party
LEGISLATION SHALL BE PREVENT
led.
Remember, that without legislation Ohio will
have but one vote in the Senate of the United
States. That the Frae States will thus lose
one vote-ihat the Slave States will have a ma
iority in that body. Are the friends of Free
Soil willing to favor this state of things by
throwing away their votesl Remember, that
without legislation the wheels Of your State
government must stand STILL. Courts Of justice
can no longer be held-Laws cannot be admin
istered or enforced-and the lives and properly
of the people can only be protected by force Of
arms. A law.delying-mob-approvng faction
of political gamb bers, as far as brute force may
enable them, will riot on the properly of the
State and the properly her citizens, unresua-
ed by the tenors Of the law.
Do you deny the truth of their declarations
made at the May Convention Z do you deny that
after next Tuesday Ohio will be without a
Constitution aud the people without Iaws!-
What power shall determine the issue! Whai,
but arms, can arbtratel Unless rebuked at the
polls in manner that will shew that these re-
volutonary doctrines have no advocates with
honest men-nothing but that cowardice which
wicked schemes ever create in the hearts OF
wicked men, can prevent their attempting to
carry out their treason by force of arms.
IT, however, they should recoil from then
revolutionary urposes-iftheirtrem hands
should refuse to do the work their heads have
planned--if they should shack OUT from the
position they assumed in their May Convention,
whot have we to hope from their legisatonl
We would have Sam Medary, Dr. OIds,
Judge Wood, Legrond Byington or some other
facIous demOgogue, or party hack, in the Sen
ate Of the United STATES. We should have with
him vote against the "Wilmot Proviso." We
should have with him vote in favor Of wars
ofconquest--a vote in favo of more territory
"tho whole or none," and "inevtable destiny
doctrines Of Lewis Casa vote in favor o
Free Trade, the Sub.Treasury, and the unior
of the purse and the sword in the hands of tht
Executive.
We should have the destruction Of our pre-
sent Banking System, which now provides t
safe, uniform and convenient currency for tht
people.
We shall again have the hands of Medary
in the State treasury. We shall havea a renew
al of that system of corruption and prOAigacy
by which the public funds have been squander
ed for party purposes. We shall have such ,
distrctng of the State as will secure TO Loco
Coco minority Of voters, Loceloco majority o
Representatives. We shall have under the 81
rem cry of reform" revival of all the cor
ruption and PraAigacy which for years prevou:
to tho ascendoncy of Wing legioIOlion, left the
people without a currency at home or crrd
decentralization unequal and burthensome
and the State on the brink Of repudiaIon and
ruin.
REMEMBER, That with Joseph Cable in Con-
gress, you will have an advocate of tho annex
alton of Texas. You will have an advocate
and supporter, (as far as oordS could avail,) o
the war with Mexico. You will have sup
porter of the Cass policy of "ConQuesls" ant
"further annexation" You will have an enem,
Of the "peace" policy ofTAYLoR and the WIFI
: party. You will have the enemy of the same
