The leaders Of the so-ealled Republican party
in Harrison county, are beautiful set of chaps.
To hear them talk, one would be led to suppose
that they were the very ',pi,lks Of consistency"
Let US look at few of these "wrigglers, 'and see
how often they changed their principles in one
single ysar-ls54. Take for instance such men
as John A. Bingham, R. Hatton, A C. Turner,
X. w. Kinsey, j. H. McMath, T. Cute ROwlesr
]. S. Thomas, A. Bargar, A Lennon, &c, &c,
who at present are the great guns Ofthc so call
ed Republican party in Harrison county.
In January, 1854, all of these BEAUTIES sub
scribed to the whig platform of 1852, which con-
tanned the following resolution, and called them.
selves "whigs"-
8. The series Of acts ofthe Thirty First Con-
gress, commonly known as the compromise or
adjustment (the act for the recovery of fugitives
from labor included are received and acquieS-
ced in by the Wings of the United States as a
final settlement in principle and substance ofthe
subjects to which they relate, and so far as these
acts are concerned, we will maintain them, and
insist on their strict enforcement, until time and
experience shall demonstrate the necessity OF
further legislation to guard against the evasion
of the laws on the one hand and the abuse of
their powers on the other-not impaiTing their
present efficiency to carry out the requirements
of the constitution; and we deprecate all further
agitation of the questions thus settled as dang
erous to our peace and will discountenance all
efforts to continue or renew such agitation,
whenever, wherever, or however made; and we
will maintain this settlement as esential to the
nationality ofthe whig party, and the integrity
Of the Union.
In April 1854 (three months later they de-
nounce their former whig principles, and come
out under the title of "Anti Nebraska men,"
In July 1854, majority of those same beau
ties go to Mt. Pleasant, and there take an oath
that they soR do all in their po,0er to digfranchise
all foreigners, whether Protestant or Catholic, and
call themselves the american Party" Those
ofthese beauties who did not join the order in
Mt. Pleasant, Joined it as soon as an order could
be opened in Cadiz.
In December, 1854, they came out boldly and
declared themselves members Of the "RepuJlica,,
party"
Here we see these "wrigglers," )" who claim all
the consistency" in the country, belonging tc
four different parties in one year. each party
having distinct principles from the other. Lei
us see how they look classified.
In January, 1854, old line a0higs.
In April, 1854, Anti Nebraska Men.
In July, 1854. Members Of the american party
In December, 1854, Republicans.
After all this ,efgglng, these bra,olerS, Shrek
erS and distranchisers would in their speeches
and conversation try to make out, and attempt
to gull the people with the idea, hat they havt
never changed. That Bingham, Hatton, Turner
Kinsey, McNIath, Rowles, Thomas, Bargar
Lennon, &c, &C., hold to the principles now
that they did in 1853 when they voted for Mel
son Barrere for Governor. Oh no. these beau
ties never change-do they? Look at their rec.
ord, and brand them with being perfect "cham
eleons."
.IfBarnum should be on the hunt of politicians
who can change their position four times in {
single year, and still say that they hold to thc
same principles, he will make the first pitch fol
Cadz, and light upon the beauties we have ma
med.
