DOLIKEWISE!

II the whole of the Democracy would act
together and make one strong effort, our sub
scription might be largely increased, and the
effect be beneficial TO the party. The follow
ing resolutions passed at Democratic meet
ing in Butler county breath right spirit, and
are worthy imitation in Wyandot;
sResolved, That this meeting recommend
to the Democrats of Butler county, renewed
energy and activity in thoroughly organizing
for the coming campaign.
"Iaesoived, That tits the duty Of every
Democrat in the county whose circumstances
will permit to encourage and support the
Hamilton Telegraph, the organ Of the party
in this county.
aResOiUed, That each democrat who is now
subscriber for that paper be requested to use
bis influence in obtaining the names of SUBJ
scribers. Encourage your press, and you en-
courage the promulgation Of Democratic prin-
cirles."

WHlGS AND BANKSl!!

tits really laughable to see the whig pa-
pers come out, after banks are entirely gone
down, and warn the people to have nothing
to do with such banks-they are broke. This
is great time to warn, after the worst has
taken place. 1t is great advantage to a man
if you see his house on fire--let 1t burn down,
and then give the alarm, is it not! Well, the
Wing papers have just acted in this very
manner in relation to the late banks that have
blown up. They have acted worse, for when
Democratic papers warned the people against
certain banks the whig papers would come
out and say it was all locofoco lie, got up
to run on the banks. But within few days
the wings are publishing the following list Of
their pets, and telling the people to beware Of
these banks:
Atlas Bank, Clymer, N. Y.
New Hope and Delaware Bridge Co.
Susquehanna County Bank, Pa.
Bank of Erie,
West Branch, Williamsport, a.
Wyoming Bank,
Honesdale Bank, a
Mineral Bank, Nd,

GOOD BANKS I!

Such thing as good bank has never ex-
listed, and in our opinion, never will exist.
Here is one Of the stock pledged Banks, that
was real genuine and could never go down,
according to the say so Of whig bankers. But
what is the situation Of it now! 1t is gone
by the board as many others have done and
will do. This bank is the Delaware Bridge
Bank, the notes of which have been imposed
upon the farmers of this State to the amount
OF twenty thousand dollars. When will the
people awake to their own interest and pu
down these cursed robbing institutions!

WHtG MEETING.

The Wings held meeting in this place,
on Wednesday, the 18th inst, to appoint del
egates to attend their state convent on, to
nominate whig candidate for next Governor
of Ohio. We suppose none other than an
anti-war man can receive the nomination in
their ranks-one that is altogether 'Corwinsh.'
Such is the man we desire to see them take
up, and then they can be met upon their own
grounds; for our candidate has been in the
war, and is decidedly in favor of prosecuting
it to speedy and honorable peace.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democracy, in delegates, assembled in
Columbus, on the 9Th inst, and made nom
nation for the next Governor of Ohio. We
believe it will be gratifying to every Demo-
crat to know the actions of that convention
have resulted in the nomination of JOHN B.
WELLER, of Butler county,who pledges him
self, 'come veal, or come woe, to stick to the
flag engraven. with the Democratic principles u
This is the man we want, and with him, we
can present to the enemy an unbroken
front that will shatter their castles and break
down their fortifcptions. The Swinding,
shaving shops will receive no aid from him,
but indeed, will they find in him, one entirely
opposed to them. The Democracy should
prepare for the contest and leave nothing un.
done to secure success; for the enemy will,
as on all other occasions, be busy. They will
have the influence of the cursed hoard of rot
ten banks to aid them, with their other combi-
nations of shadows and fair promises.

TORY AND ANTI-TORY!

1t appears that one portion of the whg
meeting in this place on Wednesday the 18th
inst, was something similar to the Bluelights
of the Hartford convention. They offered
resolutions, which were SO rank with toryism
that many in the convention, utterly declared
that they would have nothing to do with them.
The war and its supporters were condemned
in the strongest terms that mind tinctured
with opposition to this country could get up.
In every word-in every paragraph, were cx-
pressions, emphasized with language only
equaled by Santa Anna; and the same fate
should reward alike expressions and acts. The
Amarican people are too inteligent-too Pa
triotic, and too noble to support those who are
enemies to their country--tory at heart, and
a curse to the UNION. The preservation of
the UNION and the protection of the Ameri
can people should always be too sacred to
sacrifice at any price; and we believe that the
coming election will satisfy every tory that
such is the general opinion-that the Ameri-
can people are yet awake to their own inter-
est, and that they are not willing to sacrifice
their rights, liberty and honor at the feet of
the tory leaders of the whig party at home,
or the bayonet of the enemy in Mexico
True patriotism cannot sympathise with the
leaders of any party who advocate the
cause Of the enemy on every occasion, and
who stand ready to aid them with cheering
words. In all wars and in all ages, this coun-
try has had traitors, Hulls and torres, and 1t
is not at all surprising that we should find
some Of the same character at the present time.
Men who will sacrifice principle for office,
would sacrifice country for similar purposes
and to prevent men of this character from get
ting into power it is necessary to be vigilant,
and always oppose them. They are rank of
corruption, and would, were it in their power,
sacrifice the best interests of the American
people at the shrine of personal aggrandize-
ment

The question then being on recommit-

Mr. Olds said, that as il wanted few

cess Of FIVE minutes, in order TO heal the
breach, and to give the democratic mem-
bers chance to tinpan also.
