The Democratic sentinel and Harrison County farmer. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1851-1852, 1852-07-14
A Wilful Fraud.

Either the ,elegragh operators, or some
dishonest wings have been committing one
of the grossest frauds upon the country, thai
has ever come to our knowledge. We re-
fer to the report of the whig platform that
was sent out through the country during the
sitting of the whig National Contention.
This report was sent North and West to
make the people believe that the whig plat
form was more favorable to free soil princi-
pies than the Democratic. But when the
official and correct report is published, the
8th resolution tells quite different story
to whatit did when reported from Baltimore
by telegraph operators and dishonest wings
We give them both side by side, and hope
that our friend Hatton will now publish the
correct copy Of the platform, the 9Th resolu-
ton, at least, so that his whig friends may
know what their party thinks Of the Com
promise measures, fugitive slave law, DC.
Come Richard publish it, and tell us what
you think of the 8th resolution. Will you
Ia Gresly, "execrate it,spit upon it?' Your
readers wish to know
The following headed correct copy our
readers may rely upon as being correct, as
it is signed by the President and Secretaries
of the Wing National Convention, and pub,
lIshed in official form.
