unlike some Of our poraries, we ID
not object 10 their making tables Of

and if possible by the same to inspire
sufficient zeal into their ranks to ensure
victory; provided the same be done by
none other than laudahIe measures.
i'utwe do most ae.crminedly object, and
enter our protest against the liberty des-

requisition, in order to bias or influence
the minds Of that class of our voters who
are not blessed with wealth and abund.

lent, and money, will not only, as at
present be the God and Governor Of the
few, but the Judge Of us all. 1t will
MAKE mere Despots than freemen can
make officers.
Such j. the policy suggested by that
communication. Who believes that five
or ten dollars, from each County Club
is necessary to distribute these pamph.
let's? Who, SO foolish as to believe that
these sums are all that will be ask for Z?
Who so muddy Drained as OF to perceive
that the final object Of these funds are to
be appropriated to the purchasing Of
floating votes.
We charge this upon the party and sa y
that..the veil in which they have enclosed
their idol-object is TOO loosely woven to
accomplish its purpose.
How deplorable must be the cast. how
rotten the principles, when such a cOdrse
must be resorted to, in order to gain a
freemans vote?
In the mean time let Republicans be
on the alert. Let them hold up to pub
lie view, the detestable course resorted to
by the Democracy.
Let them be active, bold, yigilant and
untiring, and we have no fears but what
