Backed Out,

Io'u icuCldl parry we're one ana the same IN
Iprinciple. lie entered the lists so freely
against us, that We, in the hope of making it
profitable to all concerned, propounded the
following, as the basis for discussion:
"What constitutes true Democratic Re-
publican, and have the Wing party, with
Samuel F. Vinton, as its standard bearer,
otaoays been true to the country?
"And further, why is it the Wings want
Office under the New Constitution"
| Wen, how do you suppose, kind reader,
this bright and shining light" of whiggery
this man who processes to teach the good
people of Carroll county their duty in politi-
cal matters-meet this question? BY fair
AMI honest discussion? Oh! no! not he
But after two weeks mature deliberation, he
shoves the whole matter aside, thus
"WHAT's IN A NAME-AGA1N.--We have
no disposition, Nh Editor of the "Cadiz Sen
tinel," to discuss the grave questions YOU put
to lis in your lastissue. For the sake of set
ting your mind at ease, and to conclude the
discussion so anwisely begun E9g-pe ,rN
acknowledge that are cannot meet yQu on your
ground wSh ony hope Of succeSs.-ET
No ''disposition to discuss these ques-
tionsP' Why? "No hope of successp' And
vet, week after week you laud to the skies,
those very men and measures, which you
acknowledge will not bear the scrutiny Of an
investigation Out upon such political
hypocricy!
The advocates Of Democracy and Equal
Rights, fearno investlga gation--nay they court
lt--well knowing that when the people un-
derstand the principles we advocate, the
Democracy proves triumphant Not SO with
our opponents. They dread it, knowing full
well, that the measures they advocate have
long since been condemned by the people
They do not want the people to know that
they were the advocates and supporters
OF the Alien and Sedtion laws of the elder
. Adams-that they opposed the war of 1919
that they were the advocates of the Uni
ted States Bank, which cheated the people
out of millions Of their hard earnings-that
they advocated and supported the Bankrupt
Law-they opposed the Mexican War and
REFUSED to grant supplies to the army,
thus leaving our brave soldiers at the mercy
of a relentless and savage foe-and that they
scarce three months ago, were found violently
opposing the election of all officers by the
jpeople--the taxing of the property of banks
and corporations equally with that of private
individuals--and all the reforms contained
in the new Constitution.
Such are few of the measures with which
the leaders of the whig party have been
identified. And the knowledge of this
makes them tremble at the word discus
sion" Give their editors change, and in
personalities, they have no equals. No
statement too fallaeious, or too absurd, if by
that means they can divert public attention
from their political acts, But invite them
to discussion on principle, and they back
fright om!
The editor of the Free Press having ad-
mitted that he cannot, "with any hope Of
success" sustain the principles he, as party
editor advocates, we would advise him to
abandon the field at once. If he is political
Ily, an honest man, he will do so.
or Don't forget that our friend DAVIS, has
reduced the price of Dauguereotypes to on,
dollar and he says he can and will give you
as good a picture for that sum as can be had
any place for two dollars. He takes good
pictures, and we hope to see him literally
patronized. Rooms over John Beall's drug
store.
The PRosPEcr.--The Cincinnati Nonpa-
Ireil, neutral paper, in speaking of the
Democratic State Convention, makes use of
he following language:
In Ohio the Democracy arc bound for a
glorious victory. The harmony that pre-
vailed last Wednesday, at Columbus, is om-,
inous--it is suspicious--it is an augury Of
total route Of The Wing party this fall How
under the SUN two OF three hundred Demo-
Gratis, who have opinions Of their own, and
boldness to express them, could have made
ticket, and passed resolutions unanimously
without word Of argument, it is difficult for
us to divine. 1t cannot be that few Of the
leaders--.he wire pullers--the asprants to
Ioifice--put their heads together, bargained
Iotf the offices for a few years to come, and
thus secured the unaniuiity that prevailed?
| But their success is certain. The Wings
"must wait little longer" Ten thousand
will not number the Democratic majority this
fall AS an impartial observer, we give this
as the probable result.

as yet are very conflicting. The following
