Whig Inconsistency and Selfish
ness.

The people of Ohio should remember that
the wings opposed the New Constitution as
partisans upon party grounds. They found
it clear, explicit, tothe point, in opposition to
monopoly and the general abuses of whig
legislation and favoritiSm, and of course they
opposed it Can the people now believe,
even charitably, that the New Constitution
will receive fair trial at the hands of the
wings, should they get the power. Do not
the wings hate all the reforms of that insru-
ment, and do the people suppose that should
that party triumph, they will not throw eve
ry obsticIe in the way Of its legitimate ac-
ton?
4 Look at it! Every man of their ticket for
State Office is an opponent of the new Con-
stitution, Mr.. Vinton has repeated the dec
laraton of his hostility to that instrument in
the very speech he made accepting the NOM
ination for the first Office on the ticket. Is
there nothing significant in these things?-
Is there no sign in them! Let the people
beware-we have had fearful scenes in Ohio,
growing out of the proneness of the whig
party to break down all constitutional and
legal obligations to accomplish their purpo-
ses.
And now they present ticket, composed
of men who inveighed against the adoption
of the new Constitution with prayers, curses,
gloomy prophecies, and frantic defamation
asking the people, after they had ratified
reformed organic law to throw its inceptive,
and therefore most critical and different op-
Grafton in their hands-the hands of its Bit
terest foes!
IL is difficult to comprehend while witness
ling the fact SAYS the Ohio Statesman, the
boundless efrontery of party that can play
ask the people, and turn round the next in
slant, and ask the public to respect them and
confde all the great interests of the State in
to their hands We clip the following article
from the Ohio Republican on the subject,
f and ask for it the candid and impartial peru
sal of every friend of the States best inter-

; The WING STATE T1cKET.-What pecu-
liar party the Wing party is? A short time
} since vast majority of that party opposed
f the new Constitution with all the might they
) possessed, intermixed with large proper
tion offalsehood and unfairness. In this OPP
position they were clearly defeated. The
people pronounced against them overwhel-
mingly The moment its adoption is render
ed certainty, however, they assemble In
Convention and nominate a ticket composed
of men who are decidedly opposed TO the
New Constitution. We repeat not a man on
the whig ticket is friendly to the provisions
or the reforms to be introduced by the new
Constitution. The whig candidates, as is
well known, were among its first opponents,
and are now the first to ask o flee under it!
Enough leading wings could have been selec-
ted, that are in favor of it, to have formed a
) ticket. But we discover by the proceedings
) of the whig convention, that such men were
} carefully excluded. In theirstead have. been
placed men who pronounced, and still pro
nounce it call wrong" The new organic
law of the State must be first erecuted by its
: violent opponents, according to the dictun
I, of whiggery, if the people will permit them
In pursuing such a course, we regard i
| the result of design, and not of accident, :
Whiggery proposes, indirectly, to avoid thu
: decision Of the people, by failing to execute
5 and carry out the designs OF the trainers o
1.-THE New Constitution, and the will of th'
. people, This is the true intention of the whis
party. Had the New Constitution been de
e feated, these men would have thrown VI
: their hats and cheered the event, as did ;
e certain distinguished whig when he hearc
: of the burning of the American capitol b,
II the British, as it is, they seek to recove
G from their chagrin and disappointment b.
It defeating its purposes. But will the peopl
!. permit this-can they suffer such polltlca
y trickery to win so important contest? w
It think not--though we shall see what we sha
II see.
3 We shall not attempt personal or polit
cal sketch of those who compose the tickeI
at present, This interesting portion OF tn
subject will be disposed of hereafter. Suffic
slit to say it is headed by distinguished, tht
3 anti-reform whig, while the second namt
sr (Eckley,) is unworthy Of being at the IA
y end. He will disgrace any cause, and assn
a materially in the defeat Of the ticket.
