"N0f a Party ISSAe!n

Since the overwhelming and crushing
defeat of Federalism in Ohio, our opponents
are making an effort to conceal their shame
ond confusion by proclaiming that the
New Constitution was not a party sssae!
They forgei-or affect lo-that the
Wing State Central Committee adopted
the most energetic and extensive plan Of
organization 10 bring out the entire strength
of their party in opposition TO its adoption.
They havo forgotten the hireling emissa-
ries, in the pay Of the Bank interest, who
traversed the length aud breadth of the
State, raising all sorts Of panic cries, such
as that Public improvements, Corpora
tons, &C., would be forever at an end in
Ohio, if the New Constitution should be
adopted.
They do not remember that every fede-
raj newspaper in Ohio, week alter week,
denounced the eNewConsiilulion as ''a loco.
foco instrumeni;" and that its adoption
would give the dreadful s'locofocos" the
permanent control Of every branch Of the
State government.
They have forgotten TINT one Of the de
vices adopted by the Whig Board OF Con-
troll at Columbus, by which to rally their
whole party strength against the New
Constitution, wos the calling Of Wing Mass
Meetings, al the time and places Of voting
on the New Constitution, throughout the
State.
These and sundry other items Of q like
character, are perhaps forgotten by the
wings, whose memories, by the way, are
proverbially treacherous, but the fpcts o.!
their pariizan hostility to the New Consti-
tuition will be kept 'before the people" by
those who are not so forge,ful
