hand they have invariably accused the
opposite party Of being wealthy, purse
proud, aristooratic party, opposed to the
poor man and bis interests aud intent alone
on building up the capitalists and wealthy
men of the nation, at the expense and to
the disadvantage of the mechanic, the
laboring man and the poor man. We re.
greet to say that thsse dsluded men
have believed their protestations, and fol-
lowed their advice and counsel to their
own loss and detriment. The tree is known
by its fruits. Has the bud of promise

Ing men, poor men, and indeed for every

whether all these fair promises, or any o.
them, have been fulfilled By those whs
made the N. Actions speak louder thar
words, and our countrymeu should lool
to 1t. that they are not deceived by thos
who make such fair promises.

ANSWER;
l seek and like his well known Store,
Because have purchased there bciore
At No. 2 West Second Street,
Tin certain 10 be fitted neat;
Then TO advance another reason,
But goods find to suit the season,
And those who from his spring stock buy,
Will find their feet all weathers dry;
CRAwFoRD's endeavors never fails,
TO turn out work to suit his sales,
His factory is located nigh,
Each branch receives watchlul eye;
And Boots and Shoes are daily made,
For City and for country trade
AT Crawferds store buy not in doubt,
Nc fllse inducements are held out;
The one price sysiem-there is no better,
Is carried out there to the letter.
False bargains therefore can't intice,
The purchaser at one fixed price,
Nor time be lost in Crawford's store,
To cheaper what was cheap before.
The ladies all can testify,
When Boots, Shoes, Slippers, they would buy
For service, promenade or show,
To Crawlords store they straightway go;
Then Crawford undertakes the task,
To furnish them with what they ask.
There gentlemen will also find
Boots, Shoes, and Caters to their mind.
There Crawford drives lively trade,
In childrenis shoes of every grade,
Suine reasons now I've furnished why,
To Crawferd'sstorc I'll goto buy,
So call at once his prices review
And doubtless you will buy there TOO.
