THE TAXPAYERS, REVOLUTION.


this broad land we see and hear of
exchanges from bad to good,
from Radicalism to Democracy.
Every where the taxpayers, the peo-
pie, are leaving the ranks of the de-
structive party, are withdrawing from
under the black flag of the Jacobin
pirates, and marshaling themselves
under the protecting folds of the DEM
ocratic standard
Everywhere you go, and the more
you travel the more you see, you will
become convinced of this most impor-
tant fact. The people do not talk so
much Radicalism now as they did;
they do not talk so much about "reb-
eI' and TRAITOR" and use such shall
low arguments in an effort to contro-
vert the straightforward charges made
BY the Democracy, of corruption, fraud,
and villainy, in the Radical admin
stration Of affairs.
The people have become disguised
with these weak, senseless Trades, and
have left them solely to the leaders of
JacObinism-the petty editors and ora
tors of the party.

Radical injustice and dishonesty gene

These are the questions that now en-
gage the attention of the people of
the United States, and from East to
West, from North to South, through
out the length and breadth of this land,
upon the hiIl-tops and deep into the
valleys, go everywhere, and you will
find that the taxpayers unanimously
Demand q change!
Heretofore it has been their custom
to attend closely to the business of the
shop or the farm, resting securely and
prosperously under the good and e.
economical administration of the Demo-
cracy. With the advent of Radical
ism they suspected nothing wrong,
but they now see much that is not
right. They have opened their eyes
to much, within the past year or two,
and they have discovered Radicalism
in all its corruption and rascality,
They have discovered that while
they We're busy in the field with the
ploW, Radical officials were engaged
in stealing the money they had paid
into the treasury in the shape of taxes
and tariffs.
They have discovered that while
they were working from twelve to
eighteen hours each day in order to
meet the demands of the relentless tax
gatherer, the Radical Rump Congress
was industriously engaged in concoct-
ing schemes to increase the burdens of
taxation and put on more taxgather-
ers.
"The multitude in all countries are
patient to certain point" The pa
tience of the American people has
been severely tried. but it can endure
no more of the rule of Radicalism-no
more of taxing the poor for the sup
port Of the rich no more Of taxation
to support three millions of hardy,
idle negroes; no more of taxation to
keep a useless and expensive army in
time of peace; no more of taxation to
support in Office the Radical pirates
who have destroyed governments and
constitutions made by JEFFERSON, and
WASHINGTON and their compatriots
Of that revolution, which bought,
through fire and sword, or freedom
from tyranny, oar national existence
no more of taxation to fill the pockets
Of Radical thieves who hang about the
peoples treasury; no more of taxation,
that Radical Congressman may have
money to vote away in worthless ap-
preparations. OF these things the peo-
pie are Wearying.
against these things they rebel!
Radicalism has taxed, and bled, and
burdened them, until they will no
longer stand it, hence we find them
taking their places beside the yeoman

These are the live issues of the pend
