Reasons why Democrats should support Mr.
Wise.


Because Mr.. Wise has so high an estimate of
the gsntlemdniy character Of Democrats
PRoeF.-"Bhigs know each other by the in-
stincts of gentlemen and patriots"
PESof, SECoNp.-.'Yes, sir, that cry Of gen
tlenaA upon him Van BUREN, by his friends will
finish him-witb the party which supports him,
they mlsF as well have cried mad dog 1t is
certain prognestic that he is going down From
the hour that Father Ritehie made that fatal dis
oovery, the mans doom sealed"
PROOF, THIRp. -"lJc. Tobias Watkins) is now
an humble apothacary; and here | will say, for
the benefit of all who would be honest, and who
wish TO be clean that he keeps for sale the very
best Of palm soap and chloride of lime, and other
chemical compositions to take off tho spots of
Looofoooism, and to cleanse from all corrup
tion!"
Bitter words these They are not ours, but
his whom the democratic leaders. for purposes of
their own, are trying TO induce the democratic
masses to support His the singing in>inua
tions that democrats cannot be known by "the
Instincts of gentlemen, his the insulting sneer
tn at democrats are so base to entertain pro-
JUDGE against gentlemen, much so, that 1T is
only necessary to style man a gentleman" to
seal his doom with them--his the offensive and
degrading charge, that there is something
foul and loathsome about democracy, that they
who ere infected with it have need to be cleansed
with Chloride Of lime" Bah, how democracy
stank in his nostrils How he must have held
mis- and quickoned his step when demo-
crat came between the wind and his nobility
But We were about TO bundor. We beg pardon

which hare been. Are they not so get and noml
Does he not tell us that he has mo recantatons
to make'-"n nothing TO take back"l
REASON SECOND.
Another reason why democrats should support
Mr. Wise is, that be has so much confidence in
their honesty and integrity, and has borne such
complimentary testimony to their possession and
practice of these virtues
PRooF.-"Sir, will pu. to the gentleman and
to the House case in simple equations in the
rule of three If Samuel Swartwout. who was a
Conservative and so but half genuine Locofoco,
stole million and quarter, how much would he
have stolen had he been lull. bloodedl"
PROOF SECoNp.-"B But new = days, each and
every of the once valued attributes, honesty, ca
pacity, aud fathf1lness to the constitution totally
disquafes for holding any office in the
compass of 1.-THE party patronage. Instead of
asking now whether he is honest, they must know
if he is good spoils moRger-whether he is ca
pable of being made ols-whether he is faith
full to the constituted authorities "
PRooF TmRD.-"Wi lillian Henry Harrison, tho
poor but honest man, whose humble life is scoffed
at by the pets of Power, against corrupt and
lawless aristecraey, nhich thinks TO pi9nder un-
molested, and 10 erjog The spoiis Of The people
under the guise of Democracy"
Bitter words these, also They are his at
whose footstool the great democratic masses
are commanded to kneel. They are his, on whose
head they required to place tho diadem of
honor--in whose hands the sceptre of dominion.
They are his who proclams he has mo re-
carnations to make
REAsoN TmRp.
A third reason why democrats should sup
port Mr. Wise, is the respectful manner in which
he has always spoken of the great leader of Dem
ocraoy, Andrew jackson, and his conduct of pub
lie affairs.
PRooF.-"Truly truly. it may be said, sill, that
the evil which Andrew Jackson did lives after
him. lie the most fortunate man that God
ever permitted to riot in success, and to triumph
over much that was good"
Poor Although tho admnstra-
ton of General Jackson came into power profess
aadly reform Administration 4" as soon as it
''has been long enough in power to conceive in
Equity aud bring forth corruption and crime,
worse-tepfola blacker than had ever before been
perpetratsA." different tone was heard from
'tbe party"
Poor THRD.~-What their" (the Democratic
party) "object may be in admitting these en-
croaehments, and IN claiming that THE PEOPLE
HAVE SANCTIONED AND APPROVED THEM | know
not unless they mean hereafter to rely upon mo
1UNsAFE precedents!" The fact is alarmingly
SO, that THESE CLAIMS ARE NOW SET UP, going Sc
far as to asperse the PEOPLE whom they affec
so much to reverence, with approving and sane
tionine Tduring Jacks nstration,l pro
scription arbitrary power, the destruction of til,
checks and balances of the Government. profit
gate extravaganza in its Administration, execu
tive dictation, royalty ITSELF and a caueus sue
cession in an elective monarchy"
PRooF FoURTH.-The ,porSf as well as the las
annual message which Andrew jackson eve
wrote-I had liked to have said ever sent 10 botl
Houses of Congress. Its vanity and egotism-
it, pro fame hypocrisy and solemn mockery Of thu
good mans suppcations to the Supreme Rule
Of the universe-its low dd captdndum, addressed
TO the preiudces of ignorance and passion, Il
Justify the most shameless attacks upon the cur
rency, for the vile purposes of licensed depreda

as to the most unimportant facts oftrade, curren
