Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1852-06-25
FOR THE CAMPAIGN !


The two great parties Of this country
have now chosen their standard bearers, BY
National nominations. For nearly five
mouths ensuing, three million voters will
be more or less occupied in making up
their choice between these two candidates.
1t is right and proper that there should be
discussions of the principles, and invesli-
cations Of the characters and capacities,
of the individuals selected for that big hest
Office in the gift Of Man.
The Chronicle is not a party paper, aud
although most Of its patrons are voters
land We can not tell whether majority
are Wings or Democrats,) yet many OF
them dislike ordinary political papers, and
its Independence of party caucuses and
leaders has gained it its present position as
the first in circulation and patronage Of
the papers in Union county.
We have spread before our readers-in
sufficient detail-the Proceedings, the Bal
lotings, the Platforms, and sketches Of the
Candidates, Of the Democratic and Wing
parties, and submit the issue to the Jury
of Voters in November next
Supposing, however, that most Of our
readers would now wish to have more of
the spice and life of political contests than
We ordinarily give, We renew our offer,
made in the last Presidential campaign.
T'Each party shall Lave two columns
per week in the " Chronicle" from the lst
July to the last of Nov, each for the sum
of sl0O, to be paid by new subscribers at
81 each for one year only, or so cts each
for the campaign. Two judicious columns
per week from persons friendly to the cause
espoused, would oe as acceptable and useful,
to the masses, as papers filled with useless
repetitions and bar-room declamations.
Now, Wings who desire "strong
meat" for five months get 100 subscribers
with the dollars, and they shall have
first rate paper, and you shall have good
Wing doctrine Chroniclsd, weekly And,
Democrats who desire restoration CT the
"good old cause at the White House, get
100 more to take the best paper on the
West Branch, and they may have it for 81
for one year. and columns Of sound Dem
oeratie doctrine in the bargaiu.-Tke Edi-
tor is Democrat, and the Publisher a
Whig; and between the two, both parties
shall have fair play" and all the prof,s
expended in improving the typography aud
the miscellaneous and business capacities
and usefulness Of the paper.
.~lf you Ike our proposition, GO TO
WORK and get US the subscriptions.
I'm noticing the result Of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention, the Editor
adverted to the triumph of the party over
its assumed dictators, 10 the choice of can
didates. A similar result is seen in the
conclusion Of the protracted labors of the
Wing Convention. Noisy demagogues,
both in Congress and out of it, had for
months been endeavoring to prejudice the
party agains. Gen. Scott, resolved by
means fair or foul to defeat his nomination.

chants and capitalists in his own favor,
as ever rallied around the leader of
forlorn hope. Winfield Scott, without
money, patronage or power-the target of
all assailants-had only his name and his
services, to aid him in the contest Of giants
When the Convention met, the friends of
his opponents obtained possession of the
organization-a admitted Delegates repre-
senting no constituents, as in the case of
South Carolina, where there has been no
Wbig party for ten years-and excluded
the Scott delegates from every contested
seat. But his friends, knowing they were
sustained BY the thinking, working, trust
ing masses, the farmers and mechanics they
represented-resolutely adhered to him,
despite every wrong, every insult, every
device, every discouragement-and after
conflict of unprecedented length, they
carried their point, and Right triumphed
over Wealth and Patronage. All honor
