Keep it before the People.


Thatthe Louisville Democrat, thus shows up
the position of the leading whig editors and
Istumpers against Foreigners who have fled
from the oppression of their native countries,
to seek an asylum under the free institutions
of this their adopted home:
"Mltop Gregg, editor Of the New Albany
Tribune, Scott paper, on the stump in the
court house, at Madison, Ia, sneeridgly al
uded to the editor Of the Madisonian, be-
cause he is an Iishman by birth The ed
tor, in noticing the attack made upon him
iby Gregg, says:
We are to be compelled to fly back to Erin's
shores are we? No, thank you, Mr.. Gregg
it would please your British friends toe
we'll, Backed by the great democratic par
ty, you and your candidate to boot cannot
force US from this land Of liberty-this home
Of the oppressed.
look at it! Foreigners This big gun
Of Scott whiggery in Indiana, sneeringly al
luded is us because we were born on Irish
soil, and yet has the unblushing audacity to
ask the votes of foreigners for his Native
American canddate
Look at it! Ye men of Galway, Of Arhl-
one of Tipperary, of Munster, OF CoRnaught
of Ulster of Cork! This belted knight ot
whiggery threatens the forcibe ejectment oI
foreigner from American soil and asks
your votes to help him to cuta club to break
your own heads! What unparalleled audaci
Ity! What urmitigated hypocracy! Let ev.
cry foreigner who has even dreamed of vo,
ting for Winfield Scott, be ware how he casts
his vote with party of which Mr. Gregg i:

/ Our neighbour of the journal, the other
day, struck from his exchange liss, the
Madisonian, the paper lifted by S. s. Sproul
u gallant son of the Emerald Isle, who is
now denounced by Mr.. Gregg, because OF
his foreign origin. How these whig editors
DO lore adopted ctizensl
This Gregg is brawling Scott federalist,
wh3 sanctions and sustains Gen. Scott
views on Native Americanlsm, and would
rejoice at the revival OF Alien and Seditoin
laws. Our adopted citizens have here a
practical demonstration of the sympathy OF
the whig leaders for foreigners. The editor
of MadiSonian, who is q naturalized Irish
man, has justly replied the assaults of this
dregg Of ancient federalism, and calls the
attention of his country men, as well all
other foreigners, to the manner in which
they are sneered at by the whig party, at
the very moment that that party is soliciting
their votes for Gen. Scott. the native Amer
ican candidate for the Presidency.
Keep il before the PeopIe.
That the whig party purposes to hesto W
thecv;l power Of or Republic, upon the
military chieftain at the head of the standing
army, as reward for military service.
Keeep it before the People
The the Wing party are attempting to
make the standing army the only road to
the Presidency In this country, as has been
the case in Mexico, France and other coun-
tries, where the liberties of the people have
been prostrared by the predominance OF the
military principle.
Keep it before the People.
That as means ofestablisbing the predom-
nance of the military principle in this coun.
try, the Commanding General at the head
Of the army, whoneyer held civil office in
his life, has been nominated and placed on
the Wing ticket for the Presidency.
Keep it before the People,
That the gross and barefaced attempt
now made on the part of Whiggery to
build up the supremacy of military princi-
pie, in order to put down the ascendency ol
Democracy of this country, cannot be covered
up or concealed by any palla'ion or excuse
to be found in the election of Washington OF
jackson, who were distinguished statesmen,
having spent the greater part Of their lives
in the civil service of the country, and as far
as they we're engaged in military cervice, il
was as mere citizen soldiers in time of war,
and reither Of whom held any command in
the army when proposed for the Presidency;
Washington having expressly forbidden the
use of his name as a candidate for the Pres
'idency, until after he had resigned the com
mand of the army and retired toprivate life
Be it Remembered,
That all hisory teaches that the predomi,
nance of the military principle, is wholly in
compatible with the liberties of the people,
and that, through blind and needless regard
for mere military renown, it has wrought
the downfall Of every republic in other coun-
RIGS and other ages Of the world.
Procllim it Everywhere.
That the great struggle between liberty
and despotism going on in the world, is q
struggle for the supremacy of the people or
the one hand, and of civil government
struggle to maintain and control civil power
by the the free and untrammeled will Of the
people on the one hand, and by the power
and influence Of the standing army under
the lead Of military chieftain, on the 9th.
