GOV. MANLY'S CONDUCT IN THE WEST
Mr.. HoLpEN: II. my information 30 correct con
cerning tho course Gov. Manly il parsuinp in III
Western part OF this State, il Is enough to call dowl
| upon him the indignation Of all honorable AID up
right men. both Wings and Democrats.
In the West he is holding up doctrine to abolish
the present basis Of representation in the Honse
Commons, granting thereby increased power to the
West over the Eastern part Of the State who arc the
greatest taxpayers: and thus running directly to
coalition with the Northern Abolitionsts, depressing
the East and paving the way for taking all the taxes
paid in the East, for exravagant Internal Improve
ments in the West. ls it possible that honest peo.
pie of the West sustain Gov. Manly in this erea,
injustice! Do these people believe him to be sin.
eere! Or do they believe he only holds that doc.
time. while he is among them, for the purpose OF
getting their votes1 Take either horn of the dlem-
ma, and can the West trust him. Can they think
him sincere in this. knowing they do that he is
one of the Eastern people, and himself considerable
sauehoder? It is beneath the dignity, the Justice,
and the good sense of the Western people to listen
10 GOV. MANLY on this point; and he deserves a
heavy rebuke at their hands for thinking them so g-
norant that he could Impose upon them and mislead
them.
Gov. Manly deservesa rebuke from the whole State,
both Wings and Democrats, because he showed so
much ignorance in ls4s as to oppose Equal Suffrage
him better, he is for Equal Suffrage too, and more "a
man that wavereh is unstable in all his ways '-and
who knows when to follow him, for he was right in
ls4e in opposing Equal Suffrage, and lie is right
in 1850 in advocating Equal Suffrage! He advocat-
their way to Mexico; and he is now up to white
sparkling heat in favor Of involving the State in an
overwhelming debt for Rail Roads, debt that can
never be paid, without infictng a heavy direct tax
on o, the people, for no benefit save to few. With
this extravagant disposition he is now asking the
people for the highest Office in their gift; while
it is now begi inning to be generally given up that
the appropriation already made is nothing like sufi-
cient to complete the Road. What say you. anti
ka'-Road men? Are you willing TO bear all this
burden only for the sake of partysm-a partyism
takes out? Col. Reid says, had he been in the Le-
glsature he would not have voted for the Road. but
he is in favor of wise and judicious system of In
ternal improvement. So We all should be- But it
IS neither judcious wise to tax the many bene
ft the few. Should the people re.elect Gov. Manly
and Whig Legislature, we should not be surprised
1t the State debt is increased during the four years
of his Administration, four millions of dollars.
When will the Wings profit by experience! Da-
vld, man after Gods heart. said in the 9th
rsaim; 18th and 18th verses: "The heathen are
sunk down into the pit that they made: in the net
which they hid is their own feet taken. The Lord is
known BY the judgment which he executeth-the
wIched is SHARED in the work of his own hands,
Nth so'emni'y approach this part of my subject,
and with due regard for the late President Of the
United States: In 1910 the Wings elected Gen.
Harrison and John Tyler, President and Vice Presi-
lent: Gen. Harrison died, and Tyler became the
President. Here the Wing party IS sunk down into
The pit that they made and in the net which they hid
we're their own feet taken" Again, in ls4s, the
higs elected Gen. Taylor President. and Mr.. Fill
more Vice President. Mr.. Fillmore is said to be
'iolent Abo.ioniss, and an enemy to Southern in
erests. Gen. Taylor is dead, and this same Mr..
Fillmore is now the President of the United States,
y Southern Wing votes. Thus "the Lord is
'nown By the judgment ,vhich he erccuteth the
wicked is shared in the work of his own hand -!
And now this same people are charging Col. Reid
With voting for the Wilmot Proviso in the Oregon
'i!', when they have voted down upon the South an
abolition President. What will be the effect Of all
his, no one can tell But fear that the awful ca
amity of separation Of the Union will be the result.
have only to add. that hope all my friends will
20 to the polls and vote for David S. Reid.
The above was not written from party spirit, but
or the good of both parties in this State.
