I'D am an old line Democfat, and have
long been a Jealous defender,o Of dcmocrat-
ic principles and democratic government;
but when men, in their official capacity,
BECOME so contaminated NTH corruption, &
abuse the station they occupy, rob the trea.
sury, and expehd the public funds in elec
tioneering purposes, L deem it high time
to secure the public treasury against their
tenacious and avaricious desires. s-.
Men who loveand regard American in
stitutions, should gexpunge those insidious
purloiners of theepublic treasury from their
memories, and denounce them as scoup-
drels and dishonest political laspirauts, who
look not to the prosperity and welfare of
the voters and tax pay yers who elevate them
to tile high stations they occupy, but to
promote theinterests and carry out the de-
signs Of their own selGsh;politlcal ends

Red Lodge Clique, in the name Of heaven,
how havethe duties 1f our official agents
