and the Elective Franc hise--s
his identity with the Old Fed
eral party.
People of Harrison county, we appeal to
You not as Democrats-nct as Whigs-not
political par;izans-but as Freemcn, to pom
der well over the course pursued by SAM
UEL f. VINTON, and the party which
has placed him in nomination for Governor.
Those conyorsant with the opinions and prin-
Iciples entertained by him, were no. surprised
to learn his unqualified hostility to the new
Constitution Indeed, Says the Statesman,
il would have been singular had he been
kindly disposed towards it, as such kindness
would have been direct violation of all the
instincts Of his nature -
SAMUEL F. HINTON IS A FEDERAL
IST, and he is certainly not to be dispiset
fer the bold and determined ayoyal OF, anC
adherence to federal principles; when he has
seen wasted away, all the hypothesis on
which they were based. ~.
To a man like Ynson, the New Constitu
. doa presents points of hostile attitude in al
most every section; although, in none NOR,
perhaps. iaan those which regulate the elec
tive franchise, and give to the people tn
!, right to select the officers of Government, il
!, every department thereof. This peculia
l..
G feature IS antogonistic to every notion q
federalism, and as matter of course excite
), his unbounded indignation. ..
The old federalists held that the electiv
a franchise should be confined 'to the We
is born and wealthy So holds Vinton.
h The cid Federalists held that but few an
e trivial oHicl rs should be elected by the pee

The old Federalists h6il that subordinat
: officers should be appointed by the exccutiy

~ The old Fcderalists held that the office
Senator should be hereditary, So do,
Vinton, ...
~ The old Federalists held that Judg
should be appointed for life. So holds vi
~ ton,
, The Old Federalists held that the eleq.it
- os the President should be withheld from Il
people, So holds Vinton.
Id The old Federalists held that the right
it interfere in great matters of State should
Ii confined to the few and withheld from Il
many; that de hewers of wood and drawe
H. Of water, although very fit objects of Cover
is ment and subjects for tyranny, were entir
he ly unft TO select the governor or tyrant
Ie- holds Vipton,
Were this assertion unsustained by pro
We would not be surprised to meet with
on croduIi:y Indeed it is hard to believe I'll
any man--much less one Of high eharaci
and standing for political wisdom and stat
IL man like agacity-should be found, not OF
fo- willing to hold, but ready to avow opinlo
lch like these. But itrcsts not on our assertio
