To The WlIigs OF sandusky County.

To lhe Wigs CI s1nddShy NOuhly.
We take The liberty, through the press, to
submit II few considerations to the Wings Of
this county, and ask them to consider them
WELL and secif they are well conceived, if 50,
TO act accordingly, You no doubt have been
told that that "rhe Whig party is dead
be not dcluded by such false, empty declama-
tons; emanating from your opponents, or soma
rotten, broken down politicians, who have
proven false to their PARTY, and TO those prin
oiples which you, as wings, always true to
your country, have long cherished and con
tended for We warn you to beware of those
fanatics, who tell you the whig party is dead
for no other purpose than 20 carry out their
rotten and selfish des gns. You are invited
to ioin little faction under the color Of its
being great moral reform, and thereby
ALLEVIATE two-thirds Of your entire party; these
fanatics seek 10 lead yon along under false
pretences, without you knowing whence
you are going, like cattle to the slaughtering
block
We have no hesitation in saying we will
so as far as any party is juslfable in putting
down intcmperance flowing from the use of
Ardent Spirits--that vice sends river of
Gre through our land, carrying away on its
burning surges, thousands OF our citizens to
premature and to drnukards grave! But
never should true whig consent to be bar
tered and sold like cattle in the market, to
crafty the vanity, or pandcr to the inter est Of
any desiring politician.
Wings of Sandusky County or you moral
| ly bound to sell your party for the sake, of
carrying on q moral reformation-to sacrifice
those principles which were handed down to
you from your lus'rious fore fathers? Can
a whig consent to ALLEVIATE himself from those
principles, to which we arc indebted for all
the liberties which we enjoy and the prosperi-
IS of our county, so long as the name ol
a Washington and Jefferson remain craven
in his memory? No never will they desert
that standard, which carried them on to vic
tory in the ever memorable compagn in
1914, nnder the guidance ofthe gallant llar
rson; that same standard which the whig
party stood by in the struggle of44 with the
lusrious Henry Clay at their head, and
again in As came of victorious with old Rougl
and Ready for their leader
Then again we say suffer not yourelyes tC
be decvcd by those who seek to gain popu
lariiy for themselves by calling themselves
Main Liquor Law men, We would appeal tC
the wings of SAndusky County, whether We
have not as good and virtuous men in our
ranks-men that would grace any Office, anC
would act rightly on that if called upon 50 tc
do, in legislative capacity, What are yol
to gain by joining few "bol:ers" from th
opposite party and riding the Maine Liquo
Law Hobby, while you will lose more thar
or half the real strength of the whig Party
Suppose you listen what these gentlemen tel
you, they say the Wing Party is dead an'
that the whg party has no principes art
you not virtually admitting that you hGy
: been guilty practising grand and stupen
dous fraud upon community? You did tel
the people that you had principles, virtue am
intelligence ia your party and you have char
t gcd the opposite party with being corrap
! and their public iunciionarles unworthy O
=; trust Does it look like consistency for whig
tie pledge themselves to vote for a rank "Lo
cofoco" simply because he says he will iavo
S a Main Liquor Law? Where is your virtu
and integrity ifyou submit to be thus led
away from your duty by few wild fanatics
Come then, and let us put our candidate

alely, put the thing in motion! Do not thin
because you are in the minority that you mas
