CAP1Z, OHIO:
THURSDAY MORMNQ, MARCH 28, 1844.
Kind and corteous Reader! You were apprized
through the columns of the Sentinel last week, that M
McGonaole, who has been its able editor for a long time
past, had disposed of the establishment to the under
signed. In assuming tho arduous, duty of conducting
the organ of tho Democratic party in this county, and
becoming a caterer for the public taste, we are altogether
sensible of the responsibility of the situation we are pi;
ced in. We shall, however, call into operation every
faculty we possess, to make tho paper useful and,cntcr
taining to its readers, and a true exponent of Democratic
measures; for wo verily believe that the salvation
our beloved country, tho perpetuity of our republican
institutions, and the welfare and happiness o f the people
all depend on the ascendancy of Democratic principles.
Our country is divided into twb groat political parties,
and ever will be. During our Revolutionary straggle
for independence, all those who rose in opposition to
tyranny and oppression of Great Britain had one lead
ing object in view, viz : a separation from tho mothor
country, and the establishment of an independent gov-
eminent. . uy me valor, ot our arms, aim tne approving
smiles of heaven, the English lion cowered before the
American Eagle ourDeclaration of Independence was
adopted on tho 4th of July 177G; and on the 9th the del
egates from the various colonies agreed upon articles of
confederation. Some time afterwaids a contention of
..of delegates assembled to adopt a constitution, and it
was not until then tho discovery was made that there
was a material difference of opinion among those dele
gates as to the best form for a constitution. It was then
ascertained that a portion of the delegates, although fa
vorable to a separation from tho mother country in the
first place, yet after that separation was effected, desired
establishing a government similar in all respects to that
of Great Britain. At the head of this party or faction
was Alexnnder Hamilton of New York a man of giant
intellect. On the other hand the most numerous part of
the convention, were in favor of a Democratic form of
Government, like that under which wo now live, and .at
the head of this portion was James Madison of Virginia.
The friend of a strong central government, with an elec
tive monarch, officers for lifo, national bank, funding
system, internal improvements by tho General -Govern.
ment, &.c. &c, called themselves federalists; and the
others, by way of contra-distinction, assumed to them,
selves the name of anti-federalists or Republicans.
And thus did parties originate. Wo will not length.
en this address by following tho history of theso parties up
to the present time, as we presume tho majority of our
readers have made themselves familiar with it. But it
is clearly evident that although the federal party have
assumed as mtmy names as the cameleon lias colors,
yet no person can mistake its true identity. The leading
measures advocated by Vial parly are the same now,
as they were during the days of Mr. Hamilton. They op
posed every democratic administration from that of Mr.
Jefferson, down to that of Mr. Van Buren, with tho most
bitter and vindicated hostility. During the ever mem
orable campaign of 1840, the federal party drqwned rea
son in the bacchanal's cup, and made "no declarations
for the public cyej" they resorted to a system of fraud,
pipe-laying, cheating and lying, degrading to human
nature, and offensive to heaven reason wes banished
from its throne the people were carried away by a
whirlwind of mad excitement and right, and justice,
and pnnciplo, wore trampled in the dust. They succeed.
ed inelocting their President and Vice President; but
. Providence, in his wisdom, thought proper to remove
Gen. Harrison, from a situation, which to him in his old
ago, was any thing but congenial to hia feelings, sur
rounded as ho was by 'n legion of cormorants, whose
whole object in supporting liim seemed to be a desire
to seize upon "the loaves and fishes" of office. John
Tyler became constitutionally the President; and hav
ing a considerable share o f the democratio blood of old
Virginia coursing in his voins, and a large quantum of
Roman firmness, ho acted according to tho dictates of
. his own conscience, end utterly refused to violate his
oath, and sanction the unconstitutional aots of n fac
tious congress. Then the whole federal kennel, '.'Tray,
Blanche and sweetheart, lilllo dog and all," from Ilt-n-.
tj Clay down to John W. Hear,, made a violent onset
ogalnst the man whose praises they wore wont to sing,
in those melodious cabalistics, "Tippecanoo and Tyler
" too." , , , ,, ,
The opponents of Democracy having gained nothing
, by Iheir fraudulent victory in 1640; for all thoir schemes
and measures have bean completely frustrated are
: now determined to support a candidate for the Presi
dency in 1844, who will not oppose them in carrying
out their pernicious omi-republican measures. That
person is Henry ClayJ who hae been aptly styled by
themselves as the t'very soul and embodiment of whig
principles.' He is now travelling in the south lmranguc
ing the people, on the beauties of federalism, and dis-i
turbing the quietude and sanctity of the sabbath by cil-
eneating Id political excitement on that holy day of.
rest.
We are heartily glad that the federo'ists have now
the boldness to come out, and avow their principles
anfully. We like "day light and fair play," ard are
determined to engage in the battle, and be even in the
midst of the fight. The Democratic party have a great
work before them they must labor incessantly day and
ght, to maintain and preserve their cherished princi
ples they Bhould use nothing but arguments, for a victo
ry gained in any other manner will neither be permanent
or beneficial they should address themselves to the
reasoning faculties, and not the worst passions, of their
fellow-citizens and above all things they should be vig
ilant and united. '
We believe that the approaching election will settle
ie political policy of this country for some time to
come, ll tiie luuerausts gam tne ascenuancy we snail
have
1. A National Rank, wi'h a capital of fifty million
of dollars, exercising a control over the monetary and
political affairs of the country, altogether antagonistical
to the spirit of our free institutions. ,
2. A High Tariff, by which the Farmers, Mechanics,
and Laboring men of the United States will be taxed
to Bupport a few wealthy manufacturers in our large
cities, and enable them to enjoy their exclusive privi
leges on a more extended scale.
3. An Assumption of Stale Debts on the part of the
National Government, an old exploded scheme which
had its conception in the federal brain of Alexander
Hamilton, and known as his "funding system" a veiy
convenient method for those States which have become
bankrupt by federal legislation, to shift their indebted.
ness on tho shoulders of the people of the other States.
4. A distribution of the proceeds of sales of the Public
Lands among Uic Slates, a measmo which would deprive
the National Government of a certain source of revenue,
especially in time of war, when commerco with o'.hcr
nations would be interdicted.
5. An abolition of the Veto Power, given by the Con
stitution to the President a safe, conservative clause.
the exercise of which by General Jackson, prevented
us from being cursed with a monster bank, which when
soon afterwards incorporated by a State Legislature
spread desolation around, and ruined nnd beggared
hundreds and thousands of families.
6. V2 host of Stale Ranks, conducted on the same prin
ciples as the old fraudulent system, without the least se
curity to the note holder, and liable every moment to
suspend or explode, throwing the burthen of the loss on
those who are least able to boar it.
Against all these lavorite measures of the federal par
ty, we shall fight to the death.
We shall advocate tho election of MARTIN VAN
BUREN to tho Presidency, not only because we deem
him eminently qualified for the station, on account of
his unsweiving devotion to democratic measures, politi
cal and moral honesty, and incorruptible integrity, but
because ho was basely defrauded out of his election in
1840. The're are many other excellent men in the dem
cratic ranks, who have numerous friends in various sec
tions of the country, any of whom we would cheerfully
and cordially support, if nominated by the Democratic
National Convention. But we honestly believe with the
name of Martin Van Ruren at our mast head, wo will
achieve a decisive and glorious victory in tho coming
contest. We believe tho days of the federal party are
numbered the hand writing is on the wall tho scep
tre is departing. " They may attempt to keep up a sick
ly excitement until the next Presidential election; but
they are bound to be beaten, as sure as there is a sun to
light the world! For
' "Truth, crush'd to earth will riso again,
The eternal-vears of God are hoi's ;
But Error, wounded,. shrieks in pain,
And dies away among' his worshippers."
Wo shall go the whole length for Davo Tod, for Gov
ernor, for knowing, tho man personally, we bulicvo there
is not a -sounder and better democrat in the State. His
election is certain we have said it the people have
said it ! .
We believe with Mr. Tod that a few banks, judi
ciously located, with the stock gold and-silver, actually
paid in ; the stockholders made individually liable in
their private as well as corporate capacity for the-re
demption of every dolldr put into circulation ; the issues
of the bank limited to three times tho amount of specie ;
the loans io stockholders' limited to-at least ono half
their stock ; and severe penalties provided against- all
frauds on the part of the officers of the bank we say,
with such a system as tins, ihere is no doubt but that
thopcoploof the State might be materially benefitted in
their business operations. But any other system, with
less responsibility, we shall ever oppose. Banks have
grown up amongst us, and 'havo become, as it were, a
part of our political system. They havo undoubtedly
done some good, but we veiily believe-this has been
counterbalanced be the evil they 'have wrought. .-We
believe that as a State and a nation, we would this'day
enjoy more real happiness, substantial wealth, and
true prosperity, had there never . been a banking in
institution iu tho country. But as they now exist
among us, and probably will for some time to come, let
them be conducted on fair and honest principles, and
attend to the legitimate' object of their creation, and
keep aloof from the politics of the country. Let us
have good, sound banks, which will prove beneficial to
the whole people of the State, or more.' These are our
sentiments, and we believe the sentiments not only of
tho democratic party, but of the honest part of the whig
party also.
It shall be our object in conducting this paper, to ad
mit nothing into its columns reflecting personally on
individuals in piivato life we detest personal abuse
from the bottom of our heart, and we believe the mass of
our readers have no relish for such matter. Wo shall,
however, fearlessly expose tho political tergiversations,
and obnoxiouB heresies of our opponents. Besides the
political character of our paper which shall ever be
while under our control radically democratic wo will
endeavor to make it a welcome visiter to every fireside.
Wo will pay particular attention to the publication of
such moral essays, historical sketches, and biographies,
as tend to improve and elevate tho taste of the rising
generation. Occasionally wo shall insert a good tale,
from tho pen of somo celebrated writer; and the admir
ers of choice pootry shall not look in vain in our col
umns fur pieces to suit their taste. We shall give a
faithful synopsis of the news of the day, chronicle all
that is novel, ..interesting, amusing .nnd 'instructing.
The interest of tho farmer, mechanic and merchant,
shall never be neglected. As soon as we obtain some
agricultural works, we will insert seasonable articles
on farming and husbandry and we shall note .the flue.
tuations in these market, both foreign and domestic,
which will prove interesting to business men and othors,
And make our sheet, in short;

"Annexation of Terns. -Wo have authentic
advices from Toxas, showing that with the excep
tion of one member, tlyj Senators and Represen
tatives in the Congress of the Republic arc unan
imously in favor of 'annexation.' Wo have like
wise intelligence that if Texas be not annexed
to the United States, it will immediately become
a dependency ot liiiglanu, and au instru
ment to ruin tho commerce and manufactures of
the New England States.
If, the Executive of the United States should
send into the Senate a treaty of 'annexation,' wc
make bold to say, for the special benefit of the In
telligencer, that he will bo wholly influenced by
patriotic motives, lie will entertain no section
al or party considerations. When sent in, should
tho treaty be ma.de, it will be for the Senate, and
the Senate only, to ratify or reject it. The Sen
ate will doubtless act with a full knowledge of its
duties and responsibilities, whether a treaty an
nexing 1 exas, or one asserting our indisputable
title to Oregon, or both be laid before them."
In the Senate on Wednesday, March 20, Mr.
Walkeji said that he had received from tho gov
ernor of Mississippi certain resolutions, adopted
with great, unanimity by the legislature of that
Slate, in favor of the re-annexation of Texas to
the American Union. Accompanying this ex
pression of the opinion of the State or Mississip
pi, wove resolutions, unanimously adopted by tho
legislature of Alabama, in favor, also, of tho res
toration of Texas to tho Union; which resolutions
of Alabama had been communicated to the legis
lature of Mississippi, and called forth and consti
tuted a part of thoir proceedings. Mr. W. said
he would not at this time enter upon the discus
sion of this great question, but would move the
printing of these resolutions, and that they be be
referred to the committee on Foreign affairs.
The motion was agreed to.

The democrats have elected 110, and tho whigs

it is truly glorious and may well be rejoiced
over as an evidence of the indomitable persever

"O, judcuient thou art fled to bvutihb beasts,
And it higs have lost their reason."
We had supposed that after the revolting scenes
of 1840, the ryerc mention of which, causes min
gled feelings of regret and shame to arise in eve
ry patriot's heart, we would never witness a re
currence of them again. But in this supposition,
we are sorry to say wc have been deceived. The
federal party having succeeded, in carrying all
before them in 1840, by the use of means degra
ding to human nature, imagine that the same
scenes can be enacted again with impunity. If
we are not grossly mistaken, they will discover
before the lastof October, that the American peo
ple are not again to be led astray, by bacchana
lian songs, lying speeches, boisterous declama
tions and denunciations, and all manner of excite
ment and revelry. It is only iu certain portions
of the country that the federalists have attempted
to introduce their log cabin foolery again, and
have endeavored to convince the people by songs
that Henry Clay is peculiarly fitted for chief
istratc of tho American people. And it is plain
to be seen that wherever the effort has been made
to address the people through their passions, a
powerful re-action is going on against the feder
al party.
Mr. Clay, and his particular friends in the large
cities, believing that the magical influence of hard
cider, gourds, log cabins and coons, has departed,
have hit upon another method of electioneering;
and now the coon has to sit "solitary and alone''
upon some old fallen tree, while his place is
usurped by the cologne bottle! And instead of
the log cabin, with its latch-string outside the
door, we have now magnificent Clay balls, and
he is deemed the biggest toad in tho puddle (ex
cuse us, wc mean the most patriot wliigofthctn
all) who can cut the neatest pigeon wing, and walz
themost graceful on the "light fuitastic toe." Oh!
is not tho argument irrcsistablc, and is there a
farmer or laboring man in the country, that will
not acknowledge its overwhelming potency!!

Annexation of Texas. Mr. Woodbury, Sen
ator from New Hampshire, has written a letter
to a committee in Carroll county, Kentucky, on
the subject of tho annexation of Texas to the U

than her annexation to any other power, or the
endangering of our rights and interests in that
quarter.
