Ny Dear Sir.-The new Constitution
MUST BE DEFEATED AT ALL HA-
YARDS, COST WHAT 1T MAY. The
safety ofthe banks and the good of the State
demand, and no effort mast Be spared, to ac-
complish this desirable purpose. See the
the directors and stockholders of your bank
at once PRIVATELY, and pat THEN on
tie right tr0cH .,.. % .-t
The Board of Control will meet soon, when
means money! WILL BE PROVIDED and
the most feasible plan adopted to ensure the
defeat of this late locofoco humbug A
well concerted plan of operations is already
fixed upon at Columbus. This is to be Kept
a Esy-Protoand secret A part of the plan
lis to keep shady for the present, hold no
discussion with those who advocate the adop-
ton of the Constitution, and occasion no ex-
citement, as this would be calculated to cause
a greater turn out of the people at the cleo
ton; and JUST ON THE EVE OF THE
ELECTION the enormities of this new con-
stitution will be exposed, and the people
made to see humbug or devil under al
most every clause and section Of it. In the
meantime secretly organize and drill the whjgs
as well as can be in opposition to it. Make
the Wings believe that the apportionment
system is unfair, and that even Medary ad-
mits this. Make. them believe that it will
ruin the banks, break up all corporations,
and arrest the progress and improvement, of
our great and flourishing state!
We miU hare to use a little hunsJag IN or
der to defeat The Constaationt Make the
people believe thatit is lawyers constitu-
ton, made by lawyers, and for the sole ben
eft of lawyers. This is the best humbug
which. can be invented to gull the farmers
and the ignorant peoplei But it should not
be circulated until Just before the election,
otherwise it might be inquired into. The
truth is at least two-thirds of the lawyers Of
the State, being interested in banks and
corporations, will vote against the new Con
sttuton, and their influence will not be
small. But this the farmers and mechanics
MUST NOTKyOW! sets.
In Franklin County there will be a heavy
vote against the Constitution. Biennial
sessions of the Legislature, and putting the
public printing out to the lowest bidders,
will have an influence which will be felt in
the region of Columbus The State Jour
nal will manfully do its duty in organizing
. the Wing party over the State. The adop-
! tion of the new Constitution would reduce
the Journal Office one-third in value. Let
me hear from yo6 soon.
EOe'y possible effort mast be mode to pro-
. hect the Bank from the ruinous taxation mhich
! He Ne@ Constitution aciW impose upon u.s.
Far better let tie F1RME'R and tile III
BORING NAN, pay tie wAole ot'Ne .Stotc
debt, than to do without banks If banks
! have the same tax which is imposed upon
, individuals, they will quit business. Let
z this be understood.
The VERY WORST feature of this new
Constitution, is its making almost every office
: ELECTIYE BY THE .PEOPLEy IHe
people ARE NOTFIT to elect their Judges
and Meir State ro8icers! Eeery poor deciI
wWdeJragging about his oote and his power
at tie ballot dori 4And oar .Jud.qes and high
State .fuactioadries WW be compelied to de-
scend % notice e0ery Ornary FELL ON
though he be nat worth one dollar, on account
Of his rote. THIS WILL NEVER d or
! Yours truly,
