If they are not, all but two or at least, all
but three of the whig ticket are lawyers; and
what is worse, most ofthem invariably hunt
ing or holding office. We speak of those
facts, to show four things. 1st. That of the
fourteen men on the whig ticket at least elev-
en- are lawyers, and possibly two more. Cd.
That of the fourteen men on the democratic
ticket, six are now mechanics and farmers,
while we may add that our candidate for Co.
vernon now earns his living from the pro
ducts of his farm, and many more of our
ticket began life by laboring with their own
strong hands. 3rd. To show the contrast in
this respect between our ticket and that of
the wings. And 4th. To show what in-
famous liars and hypocrites are those wings
who charge us with favoring lawyers, while
they, as a party, have selected a whig law
yer for every mostimportant State Office, and
for Il large majority of all the State offices
The wings themselves, during the consttu-
tional canvass, denounced the New Consti-.
tntion as favoring lawyers, and as therefore
ofsupport, and now they propose
first of all others, to PIT their iaWyers in office
70 osupport it. The wings themselves
have made the fact Of a candidate being a
lawyer, an objection to his election, and yet
they propose lawyer for almost every office
And we call upon the people to note these
facts-none can fail to argue from them that
fraught with falsehood, bald inconsistency
and hypocritical professions, as has been and
as is the course Of the wings, they can have
no other designs than to bring disgrace upon
the government under the New Constitution,
to perYert it topublic injury and to their own
selfish ends, and to thus cause an unjust out
cry for reversal of the verdict given for ho-
nest reform on the 18th Of June.
We abominate this persecution of a class
of men without any distinction of personal
merit, correct principle or public character;
we abominate the ignorant goose who thinks
because a man happens to be a successful
and eminent lawyer, he is therefore just OBJ
ject of suspicion, distrust or denunciation.
Just as we abominate the man Who will bow
lower to white kid glove, the smell Of cod
fish ahd potatoes, or the glngle of a bankers
twenty-five per cent shavings, than he would
to the felt hat, the holden gray or the sun
Drowned face of an honest laborer. We
would scourge from the land that lie upon
human dignity and honor, the man who wor
ships classes or who sneers at classes. The
man who abuses lawyers as a body for politi-
cal purposes to day, would to night in a
be dazzled out of his senses
by the sheen of new coat of French broad
cloth. ~ aW as''Fas1 s3aa @.E""1.
/" Worth makes theman, ,rant of it the fellow;
All the rest are but leather and prunello."
A lawyer may possess worth, and be may
be destitute of it. A lawyer may be a pat
riot, or hemay be araitar. The beattitudes
are as attainable to lawyers as to the best
men Of any other class. st. Paul made no
worse Christian for having been a lawyer,
than did St.. Peter for being fishermen.
Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, John
Hancock, Robert Treat Paine, Richard Hen
ry Lee, James Madison and Alexander Ham
ilton, ware lawyers. DR., Franklin was a
philosopher and printer, and John Wither-
spoon and Francis Hopkinson were preach
ers; and "Old Put" was Knight Of the
Plow. Who did most for colonial indepcn-
dence? We know we but utter common
place truism, but the ignorance and falsehood
of the Journaldemonstrate the necessity that
truth should be eternal, as it is, thank the
God who made ii! " &c.. aL.' Z. y,
When the mendacous conductors Of the
Journal convince their whig readers thatlaw-
yers should not be elected toloffice, weatfust
they will remember that the whig ticket pre-
sents twice as many claims to their distrust
and desertion, as does ours to Lheirhfstilityl
