How glibly he talks Of "old blue light
federalism" and the "eternal disgracep Of
the Senate of Massachusetts, for passing a.
resolution that no foreign born should hold
office in that State Better that every for
eigl-born should forever be debarred from
voting than that America should be ruled
and governed by pauper felons, and outcas:s
from Europe. The Democrat would like
to make the foreigners believe that the K.
Ms wish 10 take from every naturalized
foreigner the right, and privilege, Of suf-
frage; at the same time he knows there is
not a word Of truth in it. The outrsges
committed OF the polls have been instigated
by unprincipled locofocos whose words have
run as FIRE through the blood Of the foreign
ers, and urged them to oviolence. Base. in
CRATE Americans -loeofoces-have been
the prime movers Of these disturbances, and
to shield themselves from infamy they de-
clare the Know Nothings did it all. 1t has
been adduced in evidence before the Coro-
ner's jury in Cincinnati that Snellbaker,
the locOfoco Mayor. himself threw the bal
lot-box out, and that the few Americans in
the room tried to prevent il. The yarn
about the Know Nothings knocking down
peaceabls naturalized citizens who attempt
ed to vote is too silly for credencs. It's all
untrue.
That "fair weather ship" you talk of
neighbor is bound to run the black, pratt.
cal, Kansas Nebraska hulk down on the I'd
Tuesday in October next The trembling
of Belshazzar will be Insignificant in COM
psrison to what shall befal you and your
party in few months. Your high6autin
words of the power of democratic truth,
can never bring honest men to the suppor!
of such principles as you advocate. You
may perhaps galvanize the rotten locofoeo
corpse, but after the first spasmodic effort,
decay will certainly follow. What sensible
politician" would @put to sea in such q
craft ?"
That ''rooster's" notes will be faint
next fall. For his "insult" to the Republi-
cans of Sandusky county his neck will be
wrung By those freemen you style as might
walkers" The "Suck Tits" who have held
on like teaches to the Sandusky County
treasury, will find no den in which to hide,
they will be suspended, Hsmau.like, on
the gallOws they are building for their riv-
ais. The taxpayers of Sandusky County
; are going TO have some honest men TO
transact their affairs hereafter.
The Sag Nicht organ will regret that
the Millerites did not burn the world up &C.
cording to programme, If he lives to see the
October election. Be merry then while
you may. The great confagrstion will
surely come.
-"Wus and wus." IF Croghan's gun
sounds next fall, it will carry more conster-
nation to your mind than did the "baby-
walkers in Amos Kendall's day.
: The Democrat dare not deny that By
illegal voting, fraud and corruption they
succeeded at the late canvas. That matter
may be tested TO the sorrow and eternal In
fanny Of the Sag Nicht leaders in this town
Your column of italics, is just no proof
at all. We do not receive the testimony
of pro-slavery Wing journals at the south
on the question. They are not orthodox.
; Is the editor of the Democrat an "honest
free soiler@ No! He repudiated that
principle long ago; at the last fall election
he voted with the Slavery propagandists
and against one Of the unconquered TWEEN
TY-oNE. Let not traitor talk of consist
ency." "Can any one believe that an hon
est man would be guilty of such blundering
inconsistency" 2" The Journal has been
"indefatigable" in its proofs that the Know
Nothing organization was not pro-slavery
The Democrat has never disprovsG it. The
evidence which it has ''piled up" has beer
all ruled out as totally irrelevant The
Journal does not "cdve" to such testimony.
We will not lay down at the feet. or resign
into the hands of a traitor and craven, the
principles we hold so dear. When we sur
render il must be to one who has never
turned his steel against bis country and its
dearest interests. He who sacrifices con-
science aad principle for paltry pence, and
then glOrieA in his Infamy, should talk moi
of Consistency" In the iniquitOus con-
tract it vas demanded that he should ''hdvt
no opinion Of his own." It matters bui
little to US what estimate the Democrat puts
upon our intelligence, We shall continue to
labor ''indetatigably" for the success and
ultimate triumph Of Republican principles.
Know NotbiOgism here is anti-slavery, and
the Democr0t knows it, and he would say
, so, too, il his opinion" keepers would per-
nit it. The platform We stand upon is a
safe one We did not get on by mistake, "
and We do not intend to Jump off," either.
The platform on which the Democrat
stands is SLAVERY, black, damning. 1t
