To THE DEMOCRATS OF WYANDoT
FELLOW CITIZENS!
"The price ofliberty is eternal vigilence."
We are again on the eve of another import
ant election. The SECOND TUESDAY |
of Octobef-the day upon which you have
ever been victorious, is near at hand. By
union and energy you have gained six sue
cessive victories in your County.
Are you all prepared for the seventh polit-
ical contest? Your opponents, the wings
are again out with a full county ticket
Knowing that an open, fair, and spirited
contest must eventually result in their dis
comfture, they have adopted the guerilla
mode of warfarc-Secretly organizing and
drilling their coon forces, they are in hopes
that by rallying at the polls, they will
catch the democrats mapping and gain at
least apartial victory. Devoid of principle
your opponents are reckless in the use of
means for the accomplishment of their pur
pose. Base hypocracv, FRAUD and DE-
cEprIoN are already resofted to, to secure
the election Of sone Of the Coon nominees.
They, themselves, are traversing the codn
ty pretending to democrats not acqua inted
with them, that "they are not strong par
tisans," that they sometimes split their
icket"-that "some wings are going to
vote for some of the democratic candi-
dates"-that "party spirit is all wrong" &c.
But fellow Democrats! whoever is not
for us is against us. 1t is sufficient for
you to know that these wAy candidates are
not democrats. That they are OPPOSED to
democratic principles & democratic meas
ures-that they are avowed whigs-nom-
mated by whig convention, and expect
the supp ort of all the coons in Wyandot.-
Nay more, they are the worst kind ofwhigs,
for they are Taylor Wigs.
Democrats! Be not deceived. These
wings do not intend to support democrats.
They never split their tickets, and what if
they do? Is that any reason why democrats
should split their ticket? The democrats
have the power to elect their whole ticket
by at least 200 majority. The wings and
their foxey candidates know that they will
be again badly whipt unless they can cor.
ruptly induce democrats to disgrace them
selves by turning traitors to their principles
and party The cunnidg coois know. that
they have every thing to gain and nctsininp
to loose by log-rolling, bargs:;. lining and sci
ling. 1t is a piec.e of imposition fo
wings to ask democrats to vote for THE
NOMINEES. To suppose capable of doing i
IS i.npeaching your political integrity
1ndignently repel all such base incentives
TURN OUT! TURN 0bTl every one o
you and sing nally rebuke your mendaciou
opponents by giving the democratic nomi
nees a largely increased majority. Rally
Rally! early on the morning Of the NINTH
of October beat the polls with usual yea
tight the coons all day. They are used t.
defeats and they can and must bear an
, other. .b
: DEMOCRATS, Permit us in conclu
sion to congratulate you tipoh the glorious
prospects of the democracy. Our prin
ciples are Progressing and extending
u through the civilized world. France
Germany, Italy, and Hungary have inhail
, ed the pure spirit of democracy. The
scales have fallen from the eyes of til,
people of the old world. They begin t.
see man as he is custom made id the IN
AGE of his Creator, being ehduced will
!, both reason aid free viii, born with egua
) natural rights, and equally entitled to the
, protection of government. Whilst ou
: brethern in the old world are perilling theil
lives, their fortunes to secure to themselves
and their posterity the blessing of demo
cratic liberty, we are peaceabIe hormoni-
ously and triumphantly indicating and per
ipetuating the cause offreedom through the
