CHARGE UPON THE BUCHAN
AN DEMOCRACY.


That. the Democratic Administration,
elected in part upon the principle of retrench-
ment, has, during the past year, expended
for government and sqnandered upon party
favorites, one million Of dollars!
I CHARGE mpon the Buchanan Demoera-
cv:-That the Democratic Administration,
having squandered the peoples money, and
run the country almost hopelessly in debt
has ayowed its intention of annexing Gu
ba, at cost to the country Of one hundred
and fifty millions Of dollars!
CHARGE upon the Buchanan Democra-
cy:-That they seek the further extension
of Slavery over Free Territory-to bring
free LABOR in competition with slave labor
to degrade the white laborers of the
country upon level with the negroes
The inevitable result of the policy advoca-
ted by the Buchanan Administration, and
endorsed by the Buchanan party in the
county, District and State!
Charge upon the Buchanan Democra-
ey:-That they have abandoned the old
Democratic land mark. That the Demo-
cratic Conventions of Ohio prior to 1853,
declared, 'slapery an evil and untavora-
Jle to the Development of the spirit of free
institutions it was the ''duty" of
the Democracy to 'ase all power clearly
given by the terms of The national compact
to prerent its increase-mitigate, and FL
NALLY ERADICATE the eva," See
Resolutions of Democratic State Conyen-
tion, 1855. The party at that time es-
poused the doctrine of '..Jfndlly eradieating
the emil" And for occupying much less
radical position upon the question now,
Judge Means and the Loeofoco press call
Mr.. Bingham the personi6cation of -Abo-
litionism.' If Mr.. Bingham is an nbol-
ZIONIST for advocating similar doctrine to
that set forth by the Democratic party in
Ohio in 1856, and endorsed by the Demo-
cratic press-pray what was Judg Means
but an abolitionist?
Charge upon the buchanan Democra-
cy:-Of the State of Ohio, that the last
Legislature embracing Democratic major
ity-increased our already high taxes-by
creating new offices and increasing the SAL
aries Of old ones. Proving false to their
promises.
Charge upon the Buchanan Party
That the Democratic majority of the Ohio
Legislature last winter created Boards of
State oficials-to wrest power granted to,
from the Governor-to secure office, hon.
or and emoloment TO partizan Locofocos.-
And that the Hon. William Kennon, can
didate for Common Tleas Judge in this
DISTINGUISHING the voters of the co1ser-
vaiive members Of all parties, was head
man in this crnnivance-aeeepted office
from the Legislature by this arrangement
and held on to it, until ousted by the
decision of the Supreme Court. Republic
cans remember this at the polls, and when
you deposit your votes, give conservative
Judge Kennon, the 'no-party" Judge, a
"plumper!"
Charge upon the Buchanan Democrd-
cy:-That having abandoned the Democra-
tic creed-of laboring to secure, the final
eradication of Slarery "-more-haying
denied the doctrine, that the people of
Territory had the right to say whether they
would be admitted as Slave or Free
State, all true Observation-Disclosures of
principle, cannot, consistent with their con-
victions, act longer in concert with the
Buchanan party. 1t has abandoned the
old Democratic land marks and all True
Democrats, should abandon it. Let it 'sgo
under," where it is eventually bound to 90.
The sooner the better for the country.
