OUR HARBOR IN DANGER!
We now have The promise of an appropriation
of $4,000, but the money has not been paid out
yet and it might share the same fate as the ap-
preparation for Light House, if we have no
true and strong friend TO look after it.
If Mr.. Stuart man who has always spoken
and acted in our behalf must remain silent, then
the chance for more appropriations is unfa-
vorable and we might even lose that already ap-
propriated, but not yet expended.
The wings and Mr.. Stuarts personal enemies
have concocted plans in order to prevent if pos
sible, his having seat in Congress next winter
and his acting and speaking for our interests.
They seem to be willing, because they cannot
prevent it, to have you vote for Pierce, Clark,
and most of the other candidates, on the demo-
cratic ticket, if you will only vote for Ferry
who will certainly not deny, that he never has
voted for Mr.. Stuart, and never will nor can.
If he can carry his point, Mr.. Stuart will nev-
er 60 to Washington-the voice, which so often
spoke for us, and our interests will have to re-
main SILENT and in its stead will be put strange,
if not an hostile one, to us and our interests
Do not be deceived or msled
Don't be entrapped by fine words to vote
against a long tried friend We assure you that
it will be too late, after you have given the pow
er to the wings to defeat Mr.. Stuart. Do there
fore what is right, support your tried and true
friend, Mr. Stuart.
Let every true friend Of the Colony and Of the
Harbor come to the polls and vote for |. V. Har-
ris for Senator, and Hiram Jennison for Repre-
sentative and then our votes will be given for
the friend of us all, Mr.. Stuart, and thereby our
interest be taken care of Suppose even that a
whig should be elected Senator, who is in favor
Of our harbor, what can he do for us in demo-
cratic Congress, under democratic President
who certainly would fn6 out how you have
treated one Of your best friends, Mr.. Stuart, by
so voting that he did not get seat in Congress.
Democrats look out of your own eyes and
think with your own brain.
The wings and weathercocks are again at it
with their old tricks. They will deceive you if
they can, yea, under pretended zeal fer moral
ject than personal revenge and personal aggran-
dzement. They have not hesitated to falsify
the democratic ticket by erasing the names of
persons duly nominated, who therefore expect
your votes, and insert others, who have not the
least claim on your confidence.
viii whig or weathercock defend and main-
tain democratic prnciples-and is it right to
place their names on our ticket? Or who gives
them right to head this corrupted ticket, DEM
ocratic ticket! They may babble about con-
science, morality, and religion, but Judge for
yourselves, and you will find them TO be of
those who "strain at gnat, and swallow a cam
ell" We repeat, therefore, look out vote the
straight democratic ticket. Don't vote for wings
turncoats and political Judases. Our liberty
was bought at great price, let us therefore try
to preserve it for ourselves and children.
Mr.. Thomas WHITE FERRY, passes himself
off for christian and gentleman, as though he
would offer for sale his religion and character,
for your votes. But if he is what he pretends
10 be, why does he get his friends to do all they
can to vilify Mr. Harrs's character? Has Mr.
Harris called Ferry a rascal or scoundrel2 Ger
tanly not. Yet they are not ashamed to insult
Mr.. Harris-Is this the way Mr.. Ferry shows
himself christian and gentleman a strong
proof, truly!
Can you keep clear your consciences. First
you send delegates, then afterwards you erase
from the ticket the names of the persons nom.
mated by them and the other delegates and in
sert names of men whose principles are anti
democratic? What will the American people
