slitution. by every means, fair and foul,
they charged.
~ That the new Constitution would
require the taxing Of gra1e yards and
ChnrcheS;
That every species Of Internal I'm.
prOrcmentS would be stopped;
~ That no Rail Road or Plank rOad
would he built;
EVThat it created host Of new oG-
ceS with large salaries and
~ The Legislature would M all The
ycar.
Now if the Wings should carry the
State this fall it will be necessary for them
to bring all these things about or their
own words will prove them liarsl
The Democrats took the opposite
ground. They denied and still deny.
that the Constitution would bring any Of
those evils upon the people. and if en-
trusted with power will acl accordingly.
The people can judge in whose hands to
place the reins Of government - TI6Tn
Advertiser.
One hardly knows which to admire
most-the selfassurance in begging votes
for himself upon the part Of the Locofoco
candidate for Treasurer Of State; the RI
dicuIous assumption that the Wings, if
elected. will have to do what they charg-
ed the Locofocos with attempting to Go;
or the ease and grace with which he tells
several falsehoods in so short an article.
Instead of charging that the new Con
stitulion would require the taxing of
graveysrds and churches, the Wings
charged that it did tax them, giving the
Legislature power to exempt them;
Instead of charging that eeery species
of internal Improvements would be stop
ed, they charged that those counties and
towns which have none and have as yet
had no corporation subscriptions 10 assist
in building any, would be deprived Of the
benefits of internal improvements for
years to come, owing to the prohibition
to State, county, townships and towns Ia
vote stock. the repeal of charters and the
clause making stockholders liable to pay
twice as much as they agreed to pay;
Instead of charging that no railroad or
plankroad could be built, their charge
was confined to such improvements as
would require corporation subscriptions
under new laws and such as had as yet re-.
ceived no charters. But wherever inter-
nal Improvements were in progress. Lo-
cofocos interceded for the new COnsti-
tuition upon the ground that enough of
such works are now in progress, and that
a prohibition of any further subscriptions
would enhance the value ofsuch onds as
are already authorized.
So far as new Offices, large salaries
and long sessions are concerned. the
charge was made condtionaHy. The
number. size and length depends entire
ly upon the action of The people. lfthey
elect Locufocos, they will as usual live a:
we'll as they can, during the time they
are in power.
In deciding this matter, the people are
not to Judge the Wings by what the!
said The Locnfocos would do; but by thei
own measures-and what are they2-
They are in favor of railroads and plan
roads; they are opposed 10 taxing grave
yards and churches; they are opposed /
all new offices, except such as are neces
sary; they are opposed to any higher sal
airy than is absolutely necessary 10 pro
cure the services of good men in Office
they are opposed to all unnecessary Iegis
ation; they are in favor of reducing thu
State debt as speedily as possible; the.
will labor hard to preserve the credit, In,
honor and integrity of the State, and il
all Things will do what they can, to ad
vance the prosperity of the people, ii
proof of which, they will not depend up
on what is published by the Locoloc
candidate for Treasurer of State in hi
own paper. nor upon what may be SAT-
in speeches made by the Locofoco can
didate for the office of Leut. Governor
but they appeal TO the past, to what the,
have done for the State, and to what Lo
cofocos have done against the State.
This is theii poIioy-and they will la
Dor to carry it into effect under any am
every constitution, cnnfning themselve
to the provisions of such an instrument
but doing everything they can under it Il
increase the prosperity of the State an
promote the happiness and welfare of til
people. These arc Wing aspiration
and this the object of Wing labor an
Wing effort.
