deeper." Up flew tlie beauiifulDeinocratic flags,
and g lily and victoriously d d ihe glorious stripes
and slats unfold themselves to the breeze! The
democrats danced for very joy; and such a sha
king of hands, and hearty congratulations, we
never before witnessed!1 At night there was a

JohiiQuincy Adams once wrote some doggerel
poetry, in which was this couplet
"And if we cannot alter things,
By , we'll change their name, sirs;"
and with instinct true to their leaders, the Roor

have resolved to drop the name of whig and a
dopt in its stead that of "Notice American Re

any other name would smell as sweet," sang the
immortal Sliakspeare. Napes are nothing, prin
ciples every thing. '
By the way, this thing of coonory changing its
name reminds us of a fable, which is something
Mkc this: An UL'ly ass, that had been kicked
and chased by pvpry beast in the forest, resolved
that it would no longer submit to tlie jeers and
taunts of its fellow quadruped. So seeing the
skin of a lion one day, donkey criwled into it,
md off it marched, with all the "pride pomp, and
circumstaiiccw'of imperial sway! Il curled its
tail aloft in proud defiance and shook its bushy
mane! But unl'oitunaiely, the ass's cars wcje
too long, and could not be secreted under the
lion's skin', ' .

it may change its name with every change of

aliases yet the long cars will .stick out a feel!

At a meeting held at the house of A. F. Cros

ved, that we celebrate, in a becoming manner,
our late glorious victory in electing James K
Polk rind George M. Dallas as President and
Vice President of these United Siases. It is
glorious, bcciuiso our whole hearis have been
thrown into the cause. It is gloiious because it
was the cause of the Country, of the Constitution
and of Freedom, for which we have been bat
tling, and we have conquered. We had before
us arrayed in order of battle, the most powerful
antagonists that we have ever yet seen marshall
ed ou tho field. And yet we can retoice that
wo have put them all to fl:"ht. We therefore,
vour committee, invite You to join us in the town
lit Cadiz, on FRIDAY EVENING NEXT, the
15,'t instant, for the purpose of celebrating as
above, our triumphant victory. ;
' And now we would say, let every genuine de
mocrat in Harrison County rush with all the
glowing ardor of kindled patriotism to celebrate
and rejoice over this s:gnal, this triumphant vic
tory. It may be understood that our invitation
extends to every good and 11 ue democrat in the

days ago, before the result of the Presidential
Election was known: ,
A vile Forgery Exposed!
If Henry Clay is Elected President of these
United Stales, (which Heaven forfeud) it will
not be because a majority of legal voters were
favorable to his Election. Lying, fraud, bribery
aud forgery, will do the work ! Before the Elec
tion, we exposed several federal forgeries, which
were got up lo operate in furor of Henry Clay.
But tho most successful forgery or the Roorback
federalists, was the Birney forgery. We say it
was the most ' successful, because it was got Up
on the very eve of the Election, and circulated
on the wings of the wind, through Ohio and Penn
sylvania, when Mr. Birney was in the East, too
far from the scene of Roorback's operations, .to
brands the old falsifiei, and hail his forgeries to
the counter.. At the time when the letter ad
dressed to J.. B. Garland, and signed James G.
Birney, appeared, we believed it to be a forgery,
for it was a flat contradiction to the whole life
and political career of that gentleman. But
there were whigs. in the town of Cadiz, who moun
ted their horses and rode day and night, and cir
culated this infamous forgery, amongst a certain
class of voters, and by so doing, induced at least
one bundled persons in Harrison county, to vote
lor Henry Clay, who would otherwise have casi
their ballots for Birney. This they do not deny,
but laugli and rejoice at the success of the dam
ning forgery! Some of these men, too, wish to
make the public believe that they monopolise all
ihe "honesty" and ''decency,"" in this community
and ate cousins german to the sainUl and
are, moreover, very exemplary and pious citizens '.
After reading the following letter from J. G. Bir
ney, can the sanctimonious coons of Cadiz look
the men in the face, they so grossly and villain
ously decieved? Will ihey? dare they? Yes,
they will and more! We have no doubt but that
they still adhere to the Garland letter as true and
pronounce tbis.s. forgery!
"To the Editor of the Ohio American:
Cleveland, O., Nov. 1. 1811.
"Sir: I saw at Fairporl, a few hours ago the
Painesville Telegraph, a whig paper, containing
a letter dated - September 2ti, and purporting to
be written by me to J. B. Garland, of Saginaw
county, Michigan, It is a forgery throughout.
So, I have 110 doubt, are tho affidavits Unit ac
compauy it; though they bear the names ol' real
peisons.

L. Harfer, E-ci. :
"I have seen a few numbers of your paper,
1 rid
am pleased with the manner in which you
discuss tho merits of " Roorback"
winggery.
I have long been an .attentive' observer of. the
twisiing, turning and squirming bf Monarchy
loviiig, liberty-haling Federalism. I well re
mumbur the imperious, domineering deportment
of the old John Adams Federalists, when they
wore their black cockades as a badge of superi
ority in 1795. Then, iis now, their most potent
arguments were lying, bullying and del'un ilion.
They have always arrogated to themselves' a
groat deal of inflated dignity ; yet would they
condescend to the meanest acts, They Will
defame our most 'upright and talented citizens;
while they will flatter the vilest miscreants for
their votes. To hoodvvink the unsuspecting,
they are now making a tremendous bellowing a
bout Protecting Home Industry," when most
of their croaking squabs have seldom if over put
their kid-gloved hands on the plough, the axe or
the hammer; mid "if ever our free, republican,
political institutions are subverted,- it will be
through the instrumentality of olij Federalism or
new whiggery, which, means oye and ihe same
thing. Whiggery, so called, reminds mo of an
anecdote I long since heard, of a boy boasting
of a new shirt he h td'got--he said Hie had got
a ntco .new shirt, m ide out" of his father s old
one, and his uther hid got a nice new shirt m ido
out of the old sheets." Our nice new whigs
are made out of old Federalists, and many of
those nice old 'Federalists . were made put of
Cow-boys and old Tories."

The real Danger of , luo Country. .
There never has been but one real danger

tialization is secured by open and aggressive
war, in others, by the natural heedlessness of
the masses; but in most, by tho falsehoods and
frauds of the - scheeining and " unprincipled,
whereby the great body of the people, deluded
by false profession of friendship for their inter
ests, are made instruments of their country's
liberty, This is the danger against which it is
preeminently tho duty ot Americans to guard
because it is the only one which can ever perm a
neutly injure them by making tbeir diffused
foim of government of "noiie ffecl." How is
this to be done, or. lather, how will it be accom

less surely, abstract from laboi its proper reward,
for the purjiose of giviug to capitol that, which is
thus robbed from the more deserving and tnore

object of the syren song of "protection," which
means nothing more or less than privilege to.

in European countries, where this protection ha
been in vogue for hundreds of years, and where

FKEE TKCADE WHAT IS IT! '
The most perfect exemplification of actual
'fiee trade which tho world ever saw,' is to be
found in these United States, consideted as twenty-six
"sovereign and independent" communities.
Erch buys what it pleases of the otheis, and sells
what they respectively please lo buy of it, with
out let or hindrance without the 'interference
of cusioui.-house olli.ee rs without charges or d n-.,
ties of any kind. Ii it not a 'convenient system r .
Is it not a just one? Does it not promote the 'in
terests of all? r - " i 1
Apply the protective system to these S'.ates,
and each ol them .would lay duties upon the pro
ducts of each of thein would lay duties upon the
products of each ofthe others... New York would
prohibit the admission of wheat from, the West,,
and of cotton and woollen manufactures; from,
New England, or charge them with exorbitant,
duties, because she can produce her own wheal
and manufacture hei own cloths. Georgia would,
prohibit the importation of 'sugar from Louisiana .
and elsewhere, because she could grow her own
sugar; and by making the duty high enough, tho
business would be eminently profitable to ihe
groweis, though eminently, unprofitable to tho
consumers. Every state, instead of exchanging
the commodities which she could most naturally
and advantageously produce, would, by' dutio'i
and prohibitions, seek to exclude those foreign '
commodities. Thus all would do what they could'
to invert the order of nature raising oranges in
Maine, and making ice iu Louisiana.; , -
Substitute' twenty-six nations for tho twenty-
six .American ijkites, and wo are prepared to see
how mutually Teneficial would be a system of
free trade, if mutually adopted by those nations. .
Bui il is said other nations tax our commodities.
and we must tax theirs in return. : Is this an holi
est argumcut, or only a pretext? If the former,
then in proportion as other nations relax their re
strictive tiystcm, wo shall do the same. If the .
latter, we shall secretly deprecate any suchchango
and perhaps openly denounce it, as in the case,
ofthe British anti-coni-law league, i .The grand
object of that association is the promotion of free .
trade; more especially free trade iu brcadslufls;'
and, first of all, in England herself, lhevaluo,
of breadstufls imported into Great Britain and fre-
land, has amounted, on an average of the last '
twelve vearg, to $17,000,000 per annum; and.
would have been still greater but for the heavy !
duties. No nation, perhaps, is so deeply inter-'
esied in a repeal of those duties the very object
of the anti-corn law league as the United States '
Why then should we, or any ot us, ally ourselves ,
wild tho British corn monopolists against the ef-'
forts of this most excollent and truly noble associ
ation?' .', ::","'..:' .',' -.y '
But we must' have" revenue. ' Undoubtedly ; .
and there is no mode of raising It so little burden- ' .
some to the people, because so little perceived"
by them, as by duties on imports. We propose
no oilier mode of raising if, except the three or 1
four millions realized annually from the sales of
public lands; we know of none better. Still, It
is a mode wnich bears-very heavy upon men' of'
small means, because it compels them to pay al-'f '
most as much per head, as the same nt) 111 her ot .
rich men; whereas the latter ought to pay in pro---portion
to, tfieir property, A man worth $'1000)'
piobably consumes half as much of dutiable- goods'
ou an average, as a man worth $100,000., Con
sequently the latter pays but twice as much ibr'lhe
support of government'a? the former; whereas ho
ought to pay a hundred times as liiiicb' But
waiving all this, we agree that the necessary rev
enue, over and above the procceda'oflaud saresy'
is best raised by duties on imports.' - " " '
