ALL HAIL!

Still they Conic!!!

Hally! Rally!

Look out for imported Voters! Democrats, be prepared to challenge the vote of every one who wears a suspicious countenance and looks like an illegal voter. Fromnine hundred to one (Aourand votes were imported into Hamilton county, Ohio, at the recent election, and hundreds into other counties throughout the State where the Democrats bad undoubted majorities, and were thus finie/y defrauded out of their rights. In Hamilton county alone (he legal majority for tbs Democratic party would have been rising COO votes, yet t beaten by the importation of votes from'dthecstates arid other counties. A victory thus'gainod is worse than a thousand honest defcitsVButto what degrading and dithan arable means w 111 the Federal factions of * ‘ Hart ford Convention'* memoqr not resort, to defeat tho honest and popular principles of RcpubucakiswI lathis the way.you intend to elect dlarrlson, gentlemen!

VEYAY:

We ask the attention of our readers to a communication in another column, over the signature of “.1 Center/ to Democracy.” The. writer of this communication will bo recognised as _ the sanjo individual whom wc noticed in our last as having been Induced to absolve alt connection with tho Whig party, from the digusting display which met his cyo a few weeks since at the barbecue in Madison. This is Hie second individual which it has been ourgoed fortune to record the name of, and number in the Democratic ranks, within two weeks, for the same reasons; and we mako no doubt (fiat if the election was a month hence, wo should have the pleasure of adding many more such noble hearts to the lift. Tho person here alluded to, as we staled in out last, is one of our most worthy citizens and a mechanic,'who is well known to the people of this county os an honest, industrious and upwright man; Gentlemen Whigs, we Introduce him to you ok Mr. Orlando, Roue —he it not ashamed of his name . The writer in our last over the same signature,

Democrls, there are but a few. days now to the election. Let there be activity wisely and profitable employed. Flushed with the. prospect of success, the spirit of black cockade 1; edcralism is reviving all over the country. We learn by letters from every State, that the Federalists ate becoming outrageously imo/enf and abutite; in many.of.our cities, a Democrat cannot walk the streets without being exposed to insult by the birod bullies and ruffians of the scrub nobilly, The second “Ilcign of.Terror” has already commenced,' ■ Should this domineering insolent parly succeed, the scenes of corruption’, tyranny, and oppression,*of which we now have a foretaste, will.fill our land with violence and disorders,' the Union to its centre." .Power acquired'by, deception, - ' fraud, and corruption, has every where been used arbitrarily and tyrannically,. ■ This is proved by llio history of the world,— Should Fedcraltsm'be restored, and become armed with power, the scenes of ’Od will be re-en-acted in our country. We shall have alien laws and sedition laws; already our foreign citizens arc proscribed and threatened with disfranchisement. A National Bank, a’National Dobtjand all (ho enormities of the British papermongertng system, will bo fixpJ upon tho camilryrand every effort to Ihrow.lhcm off will bo resisted by a general-system of corruption, violence, and oppression. Whenever lho ; Federalists have been in power, to oppose their misrule has been regarded and treated as a crime.. And opposition to Federal measures and Federal misrule has always called forth arbitrary eels of oppression and persecution. Depend upon it, llio triumph of Federalism will fill our country with cahumtics, if not with violence and blood. ; . i -- ■ Arouse, then,-Democrats; .and vindicate your rights before It js too'Jatej before..lliO"chains of the Bank Aristocracy a re riveted upon you; .

1,000 GUNS For the old Meystone!

Wo have the pleasure of presenting our readers this week with returns from all the counties in the State except four, which gayc ua 7S0 majority in 1S3S. These returns may be relied upon as correct; the statements are in most eases official, taking the Congressmen for the test. I Pennsylvania is safe for Van Huron by a largely increased majority over that of 16SG, —and “as goes the ‘Keyi/one’ so goes the Union.”

Grand Rally!

On Saturday next, lake heed Democrats of Switzerland county, there will he a meeting in the town of Vevay to make arrangements for the great battle on Monday next. All come out that can.

The political drums of the opposition arc now beating,and the tall plumes of their hired soldiery - waving in the breeze. Wo march to the tune of “Yankee Doodle,” a tunc which fired the hearts of ouy revolutionary sires and pul to flight tiie myrmidons of British' power, and which wo trust in God will make you rally to a second rescue of this “fair land of ours” from a political British thraldom.

Fi'cciuch to the Polls I!!

On Monday next (he greatest political tattle will be fought that tbo Ii is lory of this country has ever recorded, savo the contest between Jefferson ami Burr In 1SOO. The question to be determined is, whether this free and happy govvernment is to remain independent, or be bound to the car of the moneyed jugernautof Europe, and become a hopeless outcast from the pale of Republican liberty. Fellow-citizens the issue is joined. You have been the Peers sitting in solemn grandeur upon the momentous question to bo determined, and it is for you to say upon which side cf the controversy the scales preponderate. On the one hand your passions have been appealed to by every species of childish trumpery—by exhibitions of log cabins, coon skins, and by grand nml imposing arrays of tbo silk stocking gentry with their variegated badges and devices. On the other hand your judgments have been addressed—principles have been discussed, and the declaration of our views have been made known upon oil the great and Reading questions of the day without reserve or equivocation. It is for you now to act. It ts a proud consolation and augurs well for the perpetuity of our free institutions, that amid the pomp and pageantry of aristocratic power, aided hy tho moneyed institutions pf tho country, the Democracy of the land has stood Crm and undaunted, and arc now rushing with the same enthusiasm and spirit to the polls as they did in the days of Jefferson and Jackson.

Look at the Fact.

Freemen Head!

Voters—you were told that if.the Sub-Trca-sury Dill passed, it would ruin the. country .by reducing wages, the value of property, and the price of produce! ■ f : . The Independent Treasury has become a taw! and has been upwards of three months in full operation. .Well, what is the fact! 1 The wages of labor have been increased, and the price of produce and property hare both' advanced!'. The leading Whig papers of tho country already admit this fact.—And yet so reckless .are the leaders of the Federal party lhat.tbey wish to de-

Thoprtttnl Whig parly is a continuation, underaiicw name, but with unchanged principles', of the old federal party—the party, that, in the Convention which framed the Constitution, aimed at- a grand -consolidated government,, which should be able to swallow lip the State, governments, and with them the freedom of the individual citizen; under the elder Adams pasted alien and sedition laws, for thepurpose of closing this asylum of the oppressed to the enlightened friends of liberty, or tho victims oflyrunny, ip the old world who might choose it as their rrfugo or lheir homeland of putting a padlock on every man’s lips who should dare to speak out in defence of the people and violated liberty; tit.dcr Madison, burned their bluc-lighii, plotted treason with tbecncmics of their country, resolved it unbecoming a moral and religious people to rc-joico-at American victories over British mercenaries; convoked;the Hartford Convention, and contemplated a Umopi pnder the young Adams,‘h|d|deffanc<f td the constitutioh, by' their. 1 atlldd liiariari r pr I no i pica. of - * * 1 tf- ,J|* ... .4 " construction, and of the Union' by. their r high which taxed one section ol the Union for file benefit oflhcolhcr, and the favor of filling of and underJackson and ,Van Purcn, wcdsitself to a rouen syslera of paper money, ’and seeks to' possess itself of*theAmcric2n'goTcrnmc~nt,‘at the command, and principally,in the,interests of British speculators in 'American stocks; a paity rightly named the BRITISH WHIG'PAltTY. since its success would bring;(|iis country and all its financial and * business .operation^binder the control'of the BANK OF ENGLAND asn BRITISH FUN I) MONGERS! • • ‘ V.' >' ; -l

Wo regard thc.conducl of the whig parly, both in ilieir selection of a candid ate for the Presidency, who is, .by their own confession, totally unqualified for that h : gh office,*and in the measures they {tdopt in attempting lo coerce or cajole intelligent freemen to support them, ax INSULT to tub AMERICAN PEOPLE, and, unless it be signally rebuked by the democracy, at tho ballot box, will prove a fouls tain on the pbaracr ter of the Republic.

ceivc you! Voter—you were told that James Buchanan, a distinguished member of Congress from Pennsylvania, advocated a reduction of the wages of labor and tho value of property, in his speech on tho Independent Treasury Bill; made on the floor of Congress during tho last session.

Vole Early. Democrats, it is important that your Totes should bo handed id at an EARLY War. \ou may then have time to be actively employed.— See also that your neighbors d9 likewise, that they may have the same opportunity. 0$r DEMOCRATS,recollect that the polls close at about half pail four o'clock. No voter should slay behind the hour. “Procrastination is the thief of time.’*

This charge bos already, been 'nailed to the counter, by no less a- personage ‘than Baniel Webster—tbo tl godlike Danifl," a high' leading Federal Whig. : . -* . ,

Votes— you were told that Mr. Van Buren was in favor of a Standing Army of UOO.CUO men, because Secretary Poinsett recommended the reorganization of the militia, by training them ten days in a year; The very men who make this charge against Mr. Van Buren, entrusted him for & period of raoro than six month, with absolute power to raise id ARMY OF 60,000 MEN, and placed at his disposal, for that purpose, TEN MIL* LIONS OF DOLLARS! How easily might the President, were ho so disposed, with this power bare seized upon the liberties of the country! Thus, as in all other attempts to hoodwink the People, ape the arguments of the Federal parly blown to the four winds of Heaven. But be* ware—they would, were it in their power, tie* ceite you tlill!

N. C.—Wo have been a day or two trying to solve tb? meaning of N. C. used by our neighbor ip tho last number of tho Statesman, A friend qC ours suggests that C was a typograph-ical-error It Fas intended forL—“JVb more Lying for the present.” 1

Pennsylvania, the Keystone to tho arch of this grand confederacy, has spoken in seven* fold thunder her original principles. Now York is coming to the rescue, and old Virginia, the mother of four Presidents and the birth place of Democracy will shortly speak, aud when she does, her artillery will scatter to the four winds of Heaven, tho last remaining vestige of Hamiltonian Federalism. On then, fellow-citizens of Switzerland county, to the charge. Remember also, that in this contest depends the' future glory and advancement of your ,state. Should Harnson succeed, an incubus worse than that of (ho night-mare - will rest with withering effect upon her future energies, and your state now crest fallen and paralyzed by-whig misrule and whig policy,* as the last consummation of her folly, Will have to pay tribute to those, who have neither sympathy to feel for your distresses, nor patriotism to aid you in your noble undertaking, of building up aStalc to be tho pride and boast of this confederacy. Let .every Democrat then on Monday next come to the polls. Do hot stay at home. You were beaten last August by eur apathy, while your enemies wero untiring in (her zeal and exertions. -Each one bring Ilia neighbor and his neighbor’s friends to tho ballot box, and by one more struggle .with united strengh, we may have the proud privilege of recording after the contest, Switzerland county “ redeemed, regenerated, and dtscrUrallcd," from tho clutches of Federal whiggery. Come on then, onco more to the rescue'. Bring your Neighbors!

Gold Spoon Stoi'jl,

When Mr. Buchanan bad proceeded- to, near the'close of his cxcellent;rnnarks at Erie, on the lOlh, an hohesf old farmer,in: the crowd spoke out, VTell us eomeihrng about Mr. Van Boren’s Gold Spoons, of - which our - opponents are making so much : ado.” "Well” said Air. Buchanan, 1 will tel) yep all about them in a few words, for I-have seen them myself. ■ They were purchased by Mr. Mop roc in 1S1I3, when he was minister to Franco. Congress purchased them for the President’s House, and they have been in use ever since. They arc not gold, but silver gilded. I once heard of an old bachelor (continued Mr. B.) who was in search of a wife, and his hair becoming gray, he was under the necessity of applying some ipgredieiu to darken it. Bat the gray hair soon grew* out and mixed with the black coat, so as lo present an ugly mixture of black and white. So ft is with spoons. - They have been in use twenty-four years, until the gilding is nearly worn off, and now they are all spots of white and yellow, and I am certain if 31 r. Van Buren had any say in the rqaticr, ho would trade them off to-morrow for a good pewter set.”—[Groat Laughter.]

Voter! Every ABOLI TIONIST is a HARRISON MAN!

Harrison’s popula rily at home.

At the recent election in Hamilton county, the township in which (Jen. Harrison resides, Symmes, gave a majority of NINETV-NINE votes for Shannon, tho Democratic candidate for Governor, and an average majority of 03 voles for whole Democratic ticket; This is not the first time that'‘North-Bead 1 * has put its veto on old Tip.

Vote the federal Ticket, .‘Ind you to it in favor of Letting the Minority govern! You vote In favor of Abolition!! You vote in favor of Negro Suffrage!!! You vote in favor of A Properly Qualification! by which no poor man can vole!'!! You vote in favor Of selling White Men into Slavery*!!!!! If you arc a foreigner amt vote this ticket, you tote in/ator of the party which opposes the Naturalization of your Countrymen! FREEMEN, pause! ponder and reflect before vou act I

Col. R. M. Johnson,, in a speech delivered at Washington, Pa., on the Sijih pit., rctnared that “ho bad known Marlin Van Buren for more than SO years, and the longer he had known him, the more thorough was his confidence in him, The President, said he, is a mild mao, but ho is. as firm as the mountains which separate bind from us.” J

election takes place in Ohio to-mor-row. We opine that Hamilton county will tell a different talc from what she did in the recent State election. Old Hamilton put her veto on Gen. Mum in 1830; and she will do so again if the same rascally frauds arc not perpetrated that were in the recent election.

The JUask nearly Ofli 1 During the recent election in Philadelphia, the window of one of the principal headquarters of the Harried* party, presented among other, conspicuous devices “tfcc ominous words A Protective Taeiff.” , The first revenue law ever passed by Congress, which was composed of the men who achcivetL our revolution, contained this section, "TAedn--I let and feet to le collected by virtue cftMt net, fcd received in gold and tiher com qnfy.” Why not tbo whigs attack the memory of the old diors of the revolution, for thus starting our republican form of government, with this “essential feature of Mr. Van Huron's sub-treasury lystcm."

It is but justice for the people of Florida to declare that Mr. Poinsett sad tbe present Administration, bare dorio every thing within the power of the public Departments, to bring this protracted struggle to a close. They have furnished men inabunanco, ordnance and ordnance stores in abundance, provisions in abundance, transportation, in abundance, -and money in abundance!

We look upon the immense debt, amounting to some lico hundred millions of dollars, created by the States, and held principally in England, as a premium paid to foreigners for interfering in our domestic affairs; as giving to foreigners a direct intern! in uniting with tho enemies of freedom, and worshippers of mammon at homo, to crush the democracy: and subject them to ilio misrule of the aristocracy of the rich. . ,
