ganized opposition of that party. ofthe cor
rectness OF this assertion, it is not for us to
speak adyiscdly, as we have moi at band the
means of information in regard 10 the legs

contradiction. If The democrats Of Ohio have

not our purpose at present to contest this
point with the whig candidate for Governor

the rule he has laid down.
He assumes that, because the interests o

therefore the people are bound 10 keep The
wings in power. Suppose we apply 'hl'

them remains. They have either been oblit
Grated by he democratic masses, or repeale,
by The wings themselves, as was the cas-
with the Bankrupt Law.
We repeat that moi single whig measur
