nE The Demoernt of last week. ia d

EE The Democrat of last week is desir-
GUS 10 know il I'VE hare a Whig, Editor among
us ?" and TO satisfy him, we answer emphatic
ally, WE HAVE. The Journal is now, al
ways has been ard so long as we are connect
ed with II, will be found advocating and sup
porting VIII ig measures and principles, in oppo-
ition to the ruinous and degrading principles
promulgated BY the Sandusky Democrat and
its Slaveocratic co-laborers. We are now ad.
vocatng the election of the Re publican nomi-
nees TO places which the corrupt, dishonest trail
torous ere W calling themselves emocrats, have
fouIly disgraced. To every true lover of his
country, who wishes for its prosperity and per-
petuity, we say vote the Republican Ticket -
If they are Wings, De mocrats, Free Sellers.
Know Nothings, or of any other name whatso-
ever. we tel them there is no salvation for the
CO untry, but in electin q men who have pledged
them selves against the present corrupt admin
istration. The Slaveocracy have made this
the issue, and should they succeed in electng
another dishonest crew TO man the ship of
State, greater enormities will be committed;
and freedom crushed ou. entirely. The pub
lie treasury will be robbed with more boldness
than ever, legislators and Office holders becom
more corrupt and the people be burdened with
greater and more onerous taxation.
The Nebrascal says:
"The Journal abandons the Whip cause
'REPUDIArEs IT ESTIRELY!' Our Wing friends
will see that they no longer have an organ in
! their midst. What do they think of such
treachery?"
| This is perfectly in character with all edi.
tors who have TO resort to such desperate ends
to secure themselves and their cause from ut.
ter defeat. The editor puts words into our
mouth we never uttered, the article in question
was not written by us, neither did we endorse it,
1t was simply published as an item OF news, nc
the half dozen leads in the head, were place.
there TO adjust the column. The editor of The
Democrat will find out that we have not yet for
saken Wing principles, or abandoned the Whe
cause. How leelngly he speaks of the matter:
IF there are any of the old Henry Clay
! w hlgs left in this county, they owe it to their
| character 10 arraign the Journal for treason. -
They have losi their organ. We deeply SYM
pathize with them in this their sad bereave-
ment."
BAH on such sympathy, Those crockodile
hyp ocrtical tears have all been shed for nou ght
the editor had better reserve them TO drop OF
the funeral bier of Locofocoiim, he will neec
them all. What tender regard for "Henry Cla'
Wings" Satan himself can pray when it salt
his purpose. Henry Clay Wings do not asl
prescriptions from such 1uacks.

Compromise which drove out from her home

hands of Slavery propagandists the title deed
to her millions of beautiful, free acres. Then
so far as that m easure was concerned, he acte
the part of freeman. But orders from hea
quarters came for him 10 support the Nebrasl,
bill, and advocate the repeal of the Missour
Compromise, because it was THE measure o
the Administration and THE TEST OF Demo

do the bidding of corrupt men, but chose to ute

Now, in Sandusky county, he is loud in tn
praises OF the Administration, and is vigorousl
advocating its measures, stranng every nerv
