chartered by votes of the Democratic party,
' It is a fact, that when Gen, Jackson came
into power, he was in favor of the United Slates
Bank. .
It is a fact, that when Gen. Jackson, was

It is a fact, that the United States Bank had
always furnished a safe and uniform currency
for the people. .
It is a fact, that Gen. Jackson commenced a
war upon the Bank because it would not turn
-out one of its officers at his dictation.
It is a fact, that when Gen. Jackson com
menced his warfare against the Bank, he car
ried it on insidiously, professing to acknowl
edge the necessity of such an institution, but
striving to overthrow the one then in existence.
It is a fact, that when Gen. Jackson remo
ved the depositee from the Bank, he violated
the spirit of the constitution, and broke the
laws he had sworn to support.
It is a fact, that when the revenues of the
Government were placed in the Stute Bunks,

thus brought on, have been the cause of ruin
to the Banks and unprecedented distress to the

It is a fact, that he will get " caught at it."
i Tho editor of the Wood County Packet pays
us a compliment for the favorable notice of Mr,
Carhn, in our paper of the 1st. The editor is
'welcome indeed to all the good it may do him
or his party, and we beg leave to inform him,
. that so long as we write our own editorials, we
shall never cease to speak our sentiments bold
ly upon both men andraeasures. ' And, further
more, with the same spirit of candor that dicta
ted our remarks upon Mr. Carlin, we , will in
form the editor of the Packet, that, from per
sonal observation, we know Curtis Bates, to be
entirely unfit, and incompetent, both in natural
endowments and information to represent this
or any other district in the State Legisla
ture.-' : ''' ; -v -;. .-
The Perrysburg Whig has the impudence
to insinuate that the Editor of the Wood Coun

Wonderful- The Van Buren editors are
in raptures, because it Ins been discovered
that Mr. Van Buren can behave himself when
away from home. They say that it is true,
that he does not act like any other gentleman.
The cause of Democracy is every day gain
ng strength. Wood County Packet.
If the writer of the above means to insinuate
that the cause of Mr. Van Buren is gaining
strength ' with the people, the assertion is
notoriously and palpably false. If, on the oth
er hand, he means that the cause of the people
is gaining the ascendancy over Mr. Van Buren
nil his office-holders, he tells the truth.
Please to explain your meaning Mr. Packet
We observe in the Toledo Blade, the name of
Junius Flags, in nomination for the office of
Recorder of this county, and the name of Ro
bert Gower, as a candidate for Commissioner,
subject to the decision of a County Cunven
tion. if such Bhall be deemed necessary. Both
of these gentlemen are whigs.

were out in full try, hunting down the default

come ' plenty as blackberries,' the pension

unblushing plunderers of the public purse not
only go unwhipt of justice ot their hands but
become the cherished friencs of the Executive,
and the favorites of the Adminisrat'on par
ty. -
Not even defalcations are noted by Van Bu
ren presses, much less are thp names of defaul
ters blazoned forth to the democracy in star
ing capitals, as was the case before the reign
of embezzlement and corruption commenced.
They dare not even teil their readers the fact
that Robert Lytic, the champion of the admin
istration in Ohio, is defaulter in the sum of
ftSS.OOO.'and that Mr Haines, one of his bonds
men, and his relative by marriage, has received
Lytle's office from the hands of the President!
They dare not admit the fact into their col
umns, that Stephenson, who was nominated
by a Van Buren State Convention for Govern
or of Illinois, island office defaulter for. $80,
000! and that the people of that State, when
the fact came out, forced him to decline a can

sustain the pretensions of bis friend ! They
dare not publish the crowning climax' of party
dishonesty and imprudence, ie fact that a land
office receiver in Mississippi was not long
since discovered minus over one hundred thou
sand dollars, end that his continuance in office
was recommended by the President's advisers,
on the ground that if removed, his successor
would probably steal a larger sum! . Off with

some remarks of the Vicksburg Register, that
our thriving neighbors on the Mississippi, is
advancing in morals and intellect, as well as in
commerce. "Our city," Bays the Gazette,

taken the place of the midnight revel. The

The Trenton Emporium boasts that its party
is "in the habit of using up rascals." There's
some foundation for the boast. A party, that
makes such habitual use of rascals, must of
course use some of them up. It cannot expect
its tools to wear forever. Prentice.

invented as will convince the most credulous.
