Messrs. Coleman and Caskie-PrincipIes.
MEssRs EDITORS: Few persons are more averse
to faUltfnding than the writer of this article -
Nor do l now wish to discuss any issue which
may DIVIDE the public mind. We all know that
Col. Coleman Is the Wing nominee for Congress,
and knowing this it becomes to meet our antag-
onists with solid front. We are by the late dis.
graceful course of the Locofoco esislature virtu.
ally ground into powder. But can it be that the
old Wing spirit is dead Shall not the Phoenix rise
from its ashes 2 Must the Locefoco party forever
hold a supremacy in our public councils Must
their Encouragement still be tolerated, especially
when we have the power to thwart their unhal.
lowed, Ubiquitous and unjust schemes? Schemes
at variance with the laws of freedom of speech of
opin ion, even of thought itself. Fellow Whigs we
call upon you to come up to the rescue See if we
cannot resist the further aggression of these pot
cal cut.throats. Must all the merit the moral
worth, the wealth, intellect and decency of the
great Wing party be continually sacrificed to satiate
the greedy maw of tyranizing Locotocoism? The
enough, but we may console ourselves with the
reflection, that during the dark ages was such an
awful doom visited upon the primitive martyrs,
yet we cannot be driven now into the belief that
such anqutstt0riaL scheme as the late Gerryman.
der can succeed. Wigs Of Richmond, have not
the Locofoco party said you unfit for represen.
| tationl Have they not said virtually you pay ne
taxes, you have no rights of person nor property
Yes Then, why not arise in the majesty OF your
right, inspired by determination to conquer, an
unsta ined by demagoguery and political lying,
march to the rescuef We are fighting for prin.
cples-for that real Democratic principle that the
aoiH Of the people is the supreme lao. Can we es.
tablish main tain the principle ia any of its bear
ings unless with determined and constant zeal We
ever found ready and willing to stand by it to
the last? urge, then, we must put Ueto on
that 0dtsUs SerTymGHder which STILES the popular
voice, yet seeks directly to merge all classes, all
sects into pseudo Democracy which is little else
less than a wonderful peachant for Monarchy in a
somewhat mild form. But to digress We hear a
good deal said amongst the Loc0f0c0s about
famous speech made Dy Col Coleman in 1S4l
when VIM. S. Archer was nominated for United
states Senator Are the LocofocOs such asses as to
believe for one moment that the Wing party are to
be led astray by any such special illusions to
candidatel Did not Col. Coleman in 1871, as the
organ of the Wing caucus, composed of the Wing
members OF the General Assembly, nominate MIR.
Archer for the Senator Did not Mr. Coleman sus-
ia in Mr. Archer as the nominee of the party, the
whole partyl Were not then the issues of a Bank
Distribution, &c, lost sight of for the timet Let
the Locofoco mealy moUt 1t d demsgogues answer
Did net Col. Coleman vote tor Harrison ? Did he
not vote for HIM S. Archer? Did he not uOte for
soork for, and speak for Henry Clay! Did he not
vote Tor TAYLOR? Did he not vote for Scott Did
he not always vote for B Its What think you,
my LocofocO brethren, of your discovery that Mr..
Coleman was MT true Whigl To elect your man
it seems indeed verify that you would pie all
sorts of defamation and traduction upon our can
didate, did not the scorn and contempt of the best
men of your own party forbid you!
To leave this part of the subject, will advert to
another of very little importance in itself, yet
which. at this time, demands your consideration
Waat has Mr. Caskie done in COnsreSs2 Let the
Democracy answer. We all know Mr. Caskie TO be
q nice msn-a gentleman-a man OF sprightliness-
bal 10 he the man to represent US In Congress Heis
thoroughly opposed to internal Improvements by
the general government. He, by hs advocacy of
free trade principles, is opposed TO the manufacture
ing interests of bis country. Nor can he be less
sensible of the of the agricultural interests
We do not know how he stands In relation to the
internal improvements in our State. We do not
know what are his views In respect TO common
schO0Ls-but like majority OF his party, fearing the
light of truth, he may be said to be opposed to the
education of the people. "Let there be light" is
one of the tenets of our party, but the Locofocos
zee in it "Whig priaciple,' and hence they bolt.
Mr. Caskie is lawyer-csn make nice speech
can ceal in rhetoric, but when you dive into his
speeches, and look into their mec'ts' you VIII md
him not 30 great man as the Democracy would
describe him. As to bis making better, practical,
sound and business speech than Col Coleman, you
had as well tell those who don't know either. Mr.
Coleman is man used to no demagoguery. He
does not belong to the party to whose existence
6smagoguery owes its paternity. He is farmer-
a man acquainted with the farmers and fnanufac-
tarers interests because he is continually engaged
in these legitimate pufsuitsand ne is better cscu.
lated in his regard than any lawyer can be TO sd
vance your intsrtsts. But all know 10 conclude.
that Col. Coleman is g--ihOroughg going dyed
in the wool-t&voted to Wing principles and we

an alien. ton in the Wing camp.
Gentlemen Locos-why not reserve your WRATH

small game OF our nominee. We have cause 10

ing any obj cion 10 Mr. Caskie except political
grounds We know what We have to do and when |
you heap Wholesale abuse on Col Coleman you are |
doing your own job. The Wings of Richmond |
