WEDXESIMY MOHX1.YO, OCT. 3D, l?lt.
To the lUcuiocrattc
voters of
HARRISON COUNTY.
On Friday the 1st of November, the
question will be decided, whether the
rotate of Oiiio will cast her 23 Electo
ral votes for Jaju-s K. Folk or IIkx
ry Clay. The majority lor Morde
cai Hartley over David Tod is only a
fraction over IGlX) votes. The federal
party polled a larger vote II r Gover
nor than they possibly can for Presi
dent in Ohio. Tlcnry Clay, with all
his political heresies and immoralities,
never was and never will be popu
lar in Ohio. Let the Democrats but
cast the same vote on next Friday they
did at tliCjCovoriior's Election, and
we will carry tho state. But, fellow
democrats VVE MUST DO MOKE
WE MUST INCREASE THAT
VOTE. In many counties in the state
owing to division;'? in our ranks, our
vote was unusually small. This will
not be the case on Friday. In Ham
ilton county the democrats pledge ihein
sclvos to increase the vote 500. Old
Richland promises to give Polk 2500
majority, andjshe can do it. Stark
will increase her majority some 300
at least; and the Columbiana boys
promise to do the same. In other coun
ties, where local ditlicultics existed in
tho democratic ranks, so as to prevent
a full turn out, wo shall have a largely
increased votcRtit independent of
these change:?, which may be safely cal
culated upon in favor of James K. Polk
wc believe each county in tho state
will claim the honor of increasing their
Democratic vote.
ONE VOTE IN EACH TOWNSHIP
of an increase will give the State
tho Democracy. Cannot our friends
exert jhetiuelve j on Friday, and see
that

appointed who will attend to this mat

just informed that in ono township the

they had left the polls, would throw the

MORE VILLAIN" AND FALSEHOOD!
FOUL AND INFAMOUS ATTEMPT TO
DECEIVE TTIE ABOLITIONISTS'.
The fedora party sec defeat staring Jlieni in
ic face! They seo llic hand writing upon the
wall, ami they tremble as d:d Bolshazz n V 1 hey;
have resorted to falsehood after falsehood, and
forgery after forgery, t deceive the people; but
ill their villainies have been discovered and ex
posed. Conscious of 'their own ivoakncss, they
now clearly seo that they cannot carry Ohio with
out the aid of the Abolitionists, and hence they
ave, on the very eve of the Election, when they
ink it is too late for contradiction, invented
INFAMOUS LIES in regard to a coalition be-
,veen James G. Bimey and the democrats, so as
to induce tho wing portion ot me abolitionists to
c for Henry Clay. Why was this discovery
not made soouci ? hy wa3 it circulated on the
win "3 of the wind on the very eve of the Ohio
nd rciinsvlvania elections. Bat now the feder-
d Roorbacks have started on .1 new scent! and
thoy positively ullcdgc that James G. Bimey has
expressed himself favorable to the Annexation of
IVxns !!!!'.! Now, isn't that rather too hard a
lie to be swallowed by any man of common sense?
We care not what course the abolitionists as
a parly take; but as a public journalist, opposed
is we are, to nil manner of trickery and decep-j
lion wo are determined that even the abolitionists
hall not be imposed upon. Mr. Birncy has, in
two different letteis addressed to the Editois of
ilia Now York Tribune, denied, iu the most un
equivocal manner, that he has any connexion with
the Democratic party; and wo have i?ot a doubt,
but that ho will nail to the counter the latest
Roorbnck s'.oiy in regard to his favoring the an
nexaiion of Texas. In truth, any man who is
icquaititcd with Mr. Birney's opinions will only
auidi at this most preposterous and foolish story.
Bat it remains to be seen if the Liberty parly
110 going to swallow down ana believe an inese
abominable lies, in regard to their candidate
sprung upon them with the suddenness of a steel
trap, on the eve of the election, by the supporters
of the ASHLAND SLAVEHOLDER, DUEL

citizens of Cadiz, as veiy intelligent and highly
icspcctable citizens and most exemplary and de

are whiffs. Those who know the Rev. Mr. For
syth will at once say that the fullest confidence

j 1
federal papers are publishing while-washing cer
tificates of Henry ('lay's moral character from
the Rev. Mr. Biscom and tho Rev. Alexander
Campbell, tvhich prove just nothing at all! Mr.
Campbell states that Henry Clay prosified as
Moderator, in the debate bet wee u himself and
the Rev. Mr. Rice, and that he has seen l)iin in
Church, and therefore he comes to the very sage
conclusion that because Henry Clay did not play
"cards while sitting as moderator, or utter profane
language iu the house of God, he must be a mor
al and upright man! Mr. Campbell says further
if Henry Clay is an immoral and profane man, it
should not operate against him in the minds of
christians, as all our Presidents have been pro
fane men! Oh, what an argument, for a Preach
er of the Gospel to use! Tho clergyman who
would certify that Henry Clay is free from immor
ality, profanity and licentiousness, is unquestion
ably in full favor with the Devil! Oh, what a
fearly account he will have to render at the Great
Day. But to the letter of the Rev. Hugh For

tho lies and frauds and forgeries, which arc cir
culated by tho Roorback coons of Cadiz, with tho
most unblushing ellVontoiy. It astonislrcs us that
men who wish to preserve a reputation for hon
esty and veracity, could be guilty of telling lies
of the most deep and damning character against
James K. Polk, for the purpose of deceiving hon
est but unsuspecting persons. We are now told
that the same legal gentleman, who, with sancti
monious sincerity, told the citizens of Monroe
and Franklin townships, that if they voted the
Democratic county ticket, their famw would be
taken fion them, has been circulating tho lie
far and near that if James K. Polk iH elected
there will bo a war between the United States
and Mexico, and that cveiy young man in Hani
son county, who is able to bear arms, will be en
listed!!!!! This INFAMOUS LIE is only equal
to that circulated in 1810, that Mr. Van Buron
was going to establish 11 STANDING ARMY,
and that men would have to march fion Ohio to
New Jersey topeifonn military duty! The man
who would circulato such lies us the above, must
helievo that tho people arc as great fools us him
self is kuave! We wonder that he is not afraid
that heaven's judgments will overtake him, and
strike him dead, while the black and horrible lies

Faiuview, Guernsey co O, July 2, IS 14.
Dear Friend: Yoiue of June ult. came duly
to hand. You wish me to write you the particu
lars of my late boat voyage, so far as they relate
to the Hon. H. Clay. 1 have 110 hesitation iu do
ing so, inasmuch as it is important that every
persons should know the character of the persons
who are candidates for the highest office in the
gift of the American people. Oi Thurs
day evening 10 of May last, took a passage for
Cincinnati, aboard "the Little Pilot," then at
Wheeling. Henry Clay was aboard the same
boat, and traveled with us from Wheeling to
Maysville, Ky. I had of course, a fair opportu
nity to hear him converse, and witness his
demeanor. And must say that I saw and heard
things with which I was much disgusted. On
the evening of the 17 he engaged in a conversa
tion with a gentleman and lady on the subject of
Slavery. In this conversation he made use of
profane language, Some of his interrogatories
lie commenced in the following way: What the
)t'ril,Sfc. But that was not the worst. I heaid
him d'stiuclly confnm one of his assertions with
tho oath 'by G d.' Two or three persons on
the boat told me that they heaid him make use
of this oath two or three times during the con
versation. 1 heard him but once. 1 did not
hovevcr, hear all. of the conversation. 1 heard u
vulgar expression drop fiom his lips, which as
tonished me, inasmach as there were peihaps a
dozen respectable looking ladies, (and 1 know
some of them were respectable) listened atten
tively to the conversation. The gentleman who
was convcrsmg with Mr. Clay, h id occasion to
make use of the term manhood, when speaking 0!
the slaves. Mr. Clay iillcrwartls lemaikcil 111
substance as follows: "1 do not know what you
mean by the term manhood, when you apply it to
the slaves. But sir, the slaves have their man
hood, 11s properly as we have, and I do not know
but Ihev have a little more manhood than we
have. They cm cut more, and work more, and
get more childicn than any of you." The last
clause I noticed very d:stinctly. So much for
what I heard. I saw one or two things 1 did not
bke. Mr. Clay was accompanied by a son of his
a young man who appeared to be about twenty
years of ago. He may havo been older, but he
did not appear so. This young man played at
cards a large portion of his time on Friday, while
his father looked on, and appeared to be interes
ted in the game. These things 1 saw and heard
and they convinced me that Mr. Clay has been
a very immoral man, and that though his head is
now blossoming for the grave he retains many, if
not all of his old wicked habits. Iu 1H40 1 voted
the whig ticket. Anl urn yet inclined to favor
whig measures and principles. But Henry Clay
is loo bitter a pill for mo to swallow.
Very respectfully vours, .

MORE LIFT, DEMOCRATS, AND
OUR STATE IS SAFE!
A beautiful specimen of whig tactics, truly!
Wc perceive by tho ollieial returns that in the
county of Lehigh 2GS0 Democrats voted at the
recent election. These it is proposed to buy up
with the paltry sum of ONE HUNDRND DOL
LARS! This amount divided among the given
number of men fixes the relative value of each
at a fraction less than three cenU and a half!
Take this to heart, ye hard-listed, houest-hcarled
farmers of the interior. Three cents and a half,
per head, is the price attached to you by the
Bank Lordlings of the city! Shame, shame,
shame!
lUISILTIE'V AII EU3IArVS!
Can you support the Federal ticket, aftet you
,iio convinced that that parly hive formed u union
with the Church-burning Natives, to deprive you
of tho right to veto until you are 21 years iu
this country? The Democrats aro your only re
al friends. Jf Henry Clay is elected, you may
expect a revival of old John Adams' Alien and
Sedition Laws; for the Federal Natives of the
present day aro aiming at that object, uud they
boast of it in New York, Philadelphia and Haiti
more. Vote for James K. Polk, for ho is the
friend of those who loavo the oppressions of
Europe, and seek a shelter in this "land of the
freo and homo of tho brave."
WILL HENRY CLAY
Receive Use ESc:orsI vole f OSiio!
A friend of ours, residing in M uisfieid, Rich
land county, an aged and highly respectable man
writes us as follows: "It is worthy of remark,
that a number of ciicuinsiances have operated in
fivoi of tho election of Mr. Bailley, 1h.it cannot
he brought up in aid of H. Clay. Mr. B.utlcy is
a somewhat prominent member of the Methodist
church, and has a son-in-law who is rather a pop
ular preacher in that church; therefore a great
number of democratic Methodists cast their voles
in fivor of Air. Hartley, who cannot bo induced
to suction the flagitious immoralities of Henry
Clay, by casting their votes in favor ofthat "v;i
bodimciitn oi Whig principles, British predilec
tions, moral terpilude, and political chicanery.
Again it is understood, that Air. Bartley's views
on the subject of slavery preponderate in favor of
abolitionism, therefore ho leceived a strong sup
port fruin the liberty parly and to these fortuit
ous circumstances is Mr. Bartley indebted for
his election neither of which can, by any possi
bility, bo brought in to aid the election ofcll.
Clay. Nay more, no conscientious or really mor
al man, can cast his vote iu favor of an individu
al whose flagitious iniquities arc as notorious as
the sun at noon-day--and although J, K, Polk
may receive but slight support from the Lbcily
party, yet it is impossible that any honest aboli
tionist, or really pious man can cast his vote in
favor of II. Clay tho marvelous humbug tales
of Cussius AI. Clay relative to II. Clay's aboli
tion inklings and the pieposletous certificates
of his supple, clerical and political charms, as
to the good moral character of their patron and
boon companion, to tho contrary notwithstan
ding. Hence, every intelligent man in this state
must feel perfectly confident, that Ohio will go
for Poi,k and Dallas by a largo majority. And
that they will be elected by triumphant majori
ties there cannot remain a doubt,
Note. The clergyman who would certify to
the good moral character of II. Clay, acts well
the part of Satan's vicegerent on earth, and must
be a base traitor to the master whom he professes
to serve."

There was no mail received in this city to-day

we received yesterday, that ihe Democratic party
is running by itself there. We have not seen the
name ''whig" among any of the returns; and wo
have seen returns from districts which elect three
members of Congress. Messrs. Holmes, Rhett,

The whig papcts, says tho Ohio Statesman,
have been publishing news from Arkansas long
before they had a single return! Honest Coon
cry! The election took place on tho 7th inst.
We have tho Little Rock Banner of the Otli,
giving returns from gepen counties, fcotnc whig
strong holds, which show a Democratic majority
on Governor of 390, and on Congressmen, 488.
Tho " pirate" candida1e(as they call the inde
pendent,) for Governor, only getting 215 votes.
The Banner says:--
"ELECTION RETURNS,
"By delaying. our publication a day, wo are
enabled 1o present our readets tho following
news from several counties news which is choer
ing to the heart of every Democrat; showing as
it does, that our glorious cause is going on con
qucring and to conquer that where wo have not
triumphantly carried our ticket, wo have cut
down the old whig majorities to a mere trille.
So much for whig nows in advance of the
mails! If the "Pirate" candidate does not do
better in other portions of tho Sjalo not heard

large majorily.Tho Banner then doses as fol

down his aims. We have fought and won a

we have carrbsd the State TRIUMPHANTLY,
and, we trust, by a GREATER DEMOCRATIC
MAJOR11Y than was ever obtained before,
But more remains to bo done. Another battle
is to be fought in November; and iu that it is
our duty, and it should be our pride and pleasure,
to win a greater victory still. Let us, then, keep

" EJUITISU GOLD."
If wo were as grave as a Stoic, we would oc
casionally bo tempted to shake our sides as hard
with irresistible laughter, as ever did Sir Jack
Fallstafl', in reading the Federal newspapers of
the day. The cdiiors of these sheets must ci
ther be criminally ignorant or villainously cor
rupt, or else they would not impose such abomi
nable trash upon community, that finds a place
into the columns of their varlet hebdomidals.
A little obscure and fibhy Federal sheet, pun
ished iu this place, by a fellow, whose only
claim to notoriety is his deplorable ignorance,
unblushing impudence, lunatic, craziness, and
villainous rascality, is filled week after week
with the silliest, weakest and most puerile arti
cles that ever came from the pen of a rational
or thinking being, in regard to "British Gold."
The jackass who contributes articles to that
sheet, which are published as editorial, has as
sorted and undertaken to prove that the British
Manufacturers have sent over gold to this coun
try, for the purpose of having printed and circu
ited Free Trade Tracts, to break down tho
present tariff. But so far from proving tiny thing
of the kind, the writer h:ts only proved himself
an. a.s!
As to Br'til) Gold being circulated among
the Democracy of tho United Slates, fur any
purpose whatever, it is as false as Tartarus.
Wc indignantly repel the charge as gratuitous
and unfounded. No person would iterate such
a contemptible assertion, unless he held commu
nion with the "Father of Lies," and wished to
assume the regal robes in Pluto's Empire, after
"aliulilmg oil' this mortal coil." "British Gold,"
quotha!' Who in this community who in tho
Slate of Ohio- who in the broad Union has re
ceived an ounce of "British Gild," unless ho
was a Federal coon, to pay for his services in
opposing the annexation of Texas, or writing
essays favorable to Assumption of the Slate
Debts? Who? Who is he? Where is he?
Who has ever received any of these " Freo
Trade Tracts?" We never have, and we hon
estly believe that no such publications were cir
culated in this county, unless the supporters of
Hkxuy Cl.vy would impose them fraudently up
on the public, as they did " Roorback's Travels,"
for electioneering purposes, and to operate a-
gainst the election of Jaaiks K. Tolk.
Out upon such gross hypocrisy, political chi
canery and villainous deception! Democrats re.
ceiving "British Gold,". indeed! Bah! Tho
only parly in the couutry that has any affinity in
politics, or congeniality iu sentiment with Victo
ria's Tory subjects, is the British Federal Whig
party, that is now endeavoring by frauds and for
geries to place Henry Clay iu the Presidential
chair, (t- That man, be his politics what they
