THE TRUE FRIEND TO THE NORWEGIAN.

THE TRUE FRIEND ~ The NOkhlSOMAN.
At the prescott time the candid mind must revolt at
disgusting in which tine order Of politicians
endeayor TO make capital for the sinking of know
nothugism. Among other things, they appeal to the
workingmen of the country, with whose best interests
their leaders have ever been war, calling upon them us
class aid them in their unhoy crusade against civil
and religious liberty, and in doing prostitute the
American name using for the baset purposes making
the American workingman stepping stone in themarch
up the road in the "wild hunt after Office"
Who are those that have stood in the way OF the
workngmen in the battle Of life they have struggled
for an honest livelihood Who are the that while
dressed in brief authority, attempted to asten laws upon
the country that calculated in their tendency to
create privileged class the injury ofthe poor working
man Go search the list comprising the names Of the
know-nothug leaders Of the country, and there you w
find them recorded.
Who in days that have gone by attempted TO pass reg
isry and property laws 10 the injury Of the
workingmAn, and called them canaile" ignoramuses'
and account Of their adhesion
to democracy They the present leaders Of know
nohingsm-the who Sit in the highest seats in their
secret councils and fl the Offices
In our own city, when the workngmen needed advo-
Gates in the legislature and the huspgs where
w. Davis, Morrison Harris, Anthony Kennedy 0wings
Hoffman and Coleman Yellott7 They were found against
the workingmau, and such Preston Vausant Cal
lagher and Freshman who called foreigners
compelled TO stand up IN their defence
In the time OF need, when the workingmen rcyed
and looked upon with loathing and by the mush
astocracy Of the day and needed press defend
them from the rude and wicked assaults OF their enemies
where were the American, Patriot and Clipper found
against The WorLingHaH
And what press came to their aid without money and
without price II the democratic press Of the city.
The democratic party has been the only true friend
Of the workingmen Of the country As mighty bull
wark when pride aud wealth and power attempted
act laws calculated to benefit the few the injury Of the
many the democratic party has stood between them and
their enemies saying "thus far shalt thou 20 and far
therr
The democratic party has been in favor Of those
laws which, like the rain and sunshine Of heaven shed
their blessings alike upon the high and the low the rich
and the poor. We call upon the worngmen Of the
try to take heed and be deceived by the deceptive plea
Of the knownothng press whose conductors in days Of
yore have sgmatized them by the vest epithet Look
the brink OF the precpce whence they decoyng
you. Remember the history Of the past and in doing
think Of that party which has been true you de-
Tended your rights and the aeciionae mother Watches
over the welfare OF her darling child cared for and pro-
tected your every interest Desert not old tried friends
for your Those who profess such intense
love for you have been your earnest enemies they
say they your friends and call upon you break down
and destroy your true friend the democratic party Be
lieve then, They wolves In Sleeps clothing, and
will prove themselves TO be such when it is to their ad
vantage TO do 50.
