these mimic squadrons of the Register are to be
found upon the field.
We have heard quite enough, from certain Nhio
journals, about the destructive tendencies of Loco
focoism "-its I" misrule" and its ss ruin" Tbi,
idea, industrously propagated by these journals
for effect, is 5aseless and false. What would this
country have been, but for Democracy Who laid
the foundations of the Federal Constitution built ID
and established State Rights, and made the States
STATES, instead of Counties. as Federalism would
have them; and sent forward our present heigh,
of grandeur and renown! The Democracy. Who
fought through the war with England, and thus vim.
dicated a second time our title to independence!
The Democracy. Who fought through the war with
Mexico, and added untold millions of acres to our
already broad domain! The Democracy. Who gave
California, with its noble harbours and its exhaust.
less mines of gold? The Democracy. Who settled
! the Tariff and the finances of the country on such
| wise and permanent grounds, that even the Wings
are satisfied! The Democracy! Who would have
settled the Slavery question, if Gen. Cass had been
elected! The Democracy. Who ruled this State
from the Revolution down TO 1886, giving to her
character for integrity and honesty, for wisdom and
real worth. not surpassed by any State in all the
brilliant sisterhood! The Democracy.
Who got into power in this State in 1886, The
Wings. Who looked constantly TO Washington
City, for Offices and partizan rewards that the n,s.
rests of the State neglected, and the State itself
suffered to go 10 decay9 The Wing leaders. Who
Re-Distrcted the State, for public benefit, but
put Democrats ou, and Wings in! The Wings.
Who were guilty, in this matter, Of unprecedented
and "destructive - conduct! The Wings. Who,
afraid to tax the people to pay debts they had conac
ted by their policy, borrowed from the School Fund
in 1916 to pay these debts! The Wings. Who
disgraced the journals of the Legislature by passing
Preamble" giving encouragement and comfort to
the public enemy in the midst Of war! The Wings.
Can the Register meet these facts?
The truth is, the Wing leader, of this State
the men who are justly chargeable with misrule'
and IS run and whose measures rpartizan and only
parzan and selfish in their character, have had
slant tendency to bring the good old State to dis
credit and destruction But the people have rs.
en- up and put these Wing leaders down--they stand
condemned /; and hence it is the Register RACES and
talks Of IS blood. -
Will the Register be little more explicit for the
future Will it tell US what it means in the above
extract? II it will only speak out, perhaps we can
answer it. At any rate we will try.
