We find in the Stark Co. Democrat,
the following announcement OF Whlggefy
and its inconsistencies and incongruities'
1t is the best thing Of the season, and proves
most conclusively that the wings nave mis-
taken the intelligence ofthe people In their
$, s,ema,ic hunbugs and false doctrines.
The people are determined 10 think Tor
themselves, and reason rs men upon the
great principles ,ha, agi.ate the public, ano
aay kind of stuff. that an anxious candi'
date may fix up to entertain an audience
for two or three hours, will mol answer the
purpose. The people are not on a hard
cider spree Just now-they are looking to
great principles, and honest sensibls men
to carry them out:
Mr.. McGREGoR: see my named an
nounced in the Onio Repository, as mem
Der of the Whig Central Committee for
the township oil Nlmishillen. In justice
to the whig party and to myself, will
here state, that cannot act as one of the
committee. Jefferson says: "This truth is
sell.evident that all men are born FREQ and

bic rights, among which are life, liberty,
and the pursuit OF happiness. lpresume
Jefferson would, among other rights include
the liberty Of opinion. My opinion is that
all legislation which iayors one man, or
set of men, to the exclusion Of others is
,yra",cal. The ~hig party seek by ieg's-
lative enaclments to give a direction to
capital, by char'ering banks and banking
companies. These form the basis Of mo-
nopoles. They control the currency oil
tho country, and consequently, control 10 a
great extent, trade and labor. Labor is
the wealth of government and depends
upon stable and uniform currency for its
success. Judge Johnston in his speech at
Painesvile on the currency question, said:
