That party prejudice has, to a very
great extent. beena great political evil to
this country no sane man will deny. To
'arouse feeling Of bitter hatred and dead
4y hostility against their opponents has
been the chief aim of partisan demagogues,
;andto succeed ininstilling the most dead
hy political poison into the minds Of the un-
educated and unthinking foreign poPula-
tion these men have not only resorted to
the vilest and most abominable means, but
have, actually, violated every principle of
American Republicanism They have Sc
cured foreigners the privileges of the cleo
tive franchise through the most bare-faced
forgeries and pergury. They have opposed
the best and dearest interests of our coun-
try merely to defeat measures advocated
by their political opponents-thus sacri-
ficing country for party. They have ar
rayed the foreign against the native pop
ulation, for no other reason than to secure
permanency TO portizan organization by
holding out the most fatering induce
ments on the one hand and the most fear
full consequences on the other. They have
courted religious sect whose ayowed OBJ
iect is TO grasp temporal power from the
hands of the people and place it under the
unlimited control ofa priesthood whose
principles are inimical to every principle
of Representative Republicanism, who
have shackled the liberty of the press and
thrown an impenetrable cloud of intellect
ual darkness over the minds Of its deluded
followers in order the more effectually TO
practice its impositions and tyrannical ex-
actions. They have given aid and com
fort to the enemy while battling against the
American system of COMMON School Ed
ucATIoE, and urged them on in their war
fare against the intellectual interests of
the nation until the true men of the coun-
try. irrespective of party, have seen the
danger TO which this blind devotion TO po-
ltical huckstering is tending and gurded
on their armor to battle on the side Of
Right, Justice and Truth. They have gone
into the Halls of our National and State
Legislatures with no other object in view
than to direct the great power and infu-
ence of the Government towards advanc-
ing the interests of corrupt and corrupt
ing party organization. They have Legis-
lated for the few and not for the many by
enacting laws with an eye single to self and
partisan aggrandizement They have as
sailed freemen for daring to think and
act irrespective of these corrupt partisan
organizations by denouncing them as mid
night assassins and cut throats. They are
now waging war of determination a.
ganst the American movement by calling
it an old partisan trick in disguise. They
will in one moment declare the Wing party
dead and in the next moment charge the
GozeHe with being the organ Of that party.
They know that Hon. Thomas Ewing,
the head and front of the Wing party in
Ohio, has denounced the Gazette because
it is not an orthodox Wing paper. They
know that John Garaghty, Esq, late Wing
Mayor, denounced the Gazette because il
was not an orthodox Wing paper. They
know thatP B. Ewing, Esq, once anon
inee of the Wing party, and if we are not
mistaken, member Of the Wing Central
Committee for this county, denounced the
Gazette because it was not an orthodox
Wing paper. They know that's large mum
ber of other influential Wings in this coun
ty followed the example of these gentle
men, Yet in the face of all this testimony
they have the audacity to call the Gazette
the organ Of the Wing party. They know
they had three old line Wings on their Sag
Night ticket, and that all the above named
gentlemen are rmand firm supporters o
the Ohio Eagle. Yet in the face of all this
testimony they still persist in calling the
Gazette Wig organ.
These charges, however, like all othel
charges from the same source, are i'll con
sidered and i'll devised and only constitute
further proofof the utter recklessness ant
perfect desperation Of these huckstering
minions of the Popc's organ.
