My Dear Sir.-The new Constitution
MUST BE DEFEATED AT ALL HA-
Yards, COST WHAT 1T MAY. The
safety ofthe banks and the good of the State
demand, and no effort mast be spared, to ac-
complish this desirable purpose. See the
the directors and stockholders of your bank
al once PRIKAIELY y, and put THEN on
The right track!
The Board of Control will meet soon, when
ppeans (money) WILL BE PROVIDED and
the most feasible plan adopted to ensure the
defeat of this late locofoco humbug A
well concerted plan of operations is already
fix d upon at Columbus, This is to be kept
a E9y-protound secret 4 part of the plan
is to keep shady for the present, hold no
discussion with those who advocate the adop-
ton of the Constitution, and occasion no ex-
citement, as this would be calculated to cause
a greater turn out of the people at the cleo
ton; and JUST ON THE EVE OF THE
ELECTION the enOrmities of this new con-
stitution will be exposed, and the people
made to see humbug or devil under al
most every clause and section of it, In the
meantime secretly organize and drill the sChigs
as well AS can be in opposition to it. Make
the Wings believe that the apportionment
system is unfair, and that even Medary ad-
Inits this. Make them believe that it will
ruin the banks, break up all corporations,
and arrest the progress and improvement OF
our great and Aourishing stateE
J We scM hare to use a LiNle hQW5ug IN or
der to defeat the Constitution! Make the
people believe that it il a lawyers constitu-
ton, made by lawyers, and for the sole ben
eft of lawyers. This is the best humbue
which can be invented to gull the farmers
and the ignorant peopiet But it should no
be circulated until just before the election
otherwise it might be inquired into. Th'
truth is at least two-thirds of the lawyers 0
the State, being interested in banks ant
corporations, will vote against the new Con
stitution, and their influence will not b
; small. But this the farmers and mechanic
USTNOT KNOW
In Franklin County there will be heay
Q vote against the Constitution. Bicnnis
J sessions of the Legislature, and putting tn
public printing out to the lowest bidder
J will have an influence which will be felt !
J the region Of Columbus. The State Jou
t. nal will manfully do its duty in organiziu
i the Wing party over the State. The ado
4 ton Of tie new Constitution would redu'
the journal Office ons-third in value. L
me hear from you soon.
= Everg possible effort must Be made to py
Q tect The Bank from Ms rtiaoas taxatioa aOhi
the Ncw Constitution p;U impose upon ust-
. Far better let Tie FARMER and the u
u BORLyG NAN. pay Me sChole ofthe St'
at debt, than to do without banks. If ban
N have the same tax which is imposed up
!. individuals, they will quit business.
J. this be understood
a. The VERY WORST feature Of this nj
on Constitution, is lie making almost egery OF
ed ELECTYKE BY THE PEOPLEt z
he people ARE NOT FIT 10 elect their .Jstd
81 and their S'ote offcersi E'Uery poor d
