Democratic Standard

BRITISH ALLIANCE WITH THE OPPOSITION.

Read the subjoined extract from the London Morning Post of June 3d, the organ of the high Tory party in England, and then inquire who those men are who stoop from a log hut, and what are their objects. Read it with attention, and see if this "Whig log cabin cry" is not a British trap to deceive and enslave the American Democracy:

"We learn by the arrival of the Stephen Whitney, from New York, that the resignation of Mr Amos Kendall, and other ministerial functionaries, was talked of. Should these changes take place, the success of the Whigs or "log cabin" party, in the approaching Presidential election, will be secured. By the election of General Harrison, the whig candidate, and the rejection of Mr. Van Buren, the return of the Government to a sound and rational system of banking will follow as a matter of course; and possibly the United States Bank may once more find itself under the protection of a proper charter. The rejection of Mr. Van Buren will be decisive of the fate of the Sub-Treasury scheme. That insane piece of legislation will be most assuredly knocked on the head, and we shall no longer hear of pet banks, and the thousand other absurdities with which it is associated. We rejoice in the downfall of the visionary undertakings of the radical spirits and political economical coxcombs, whether they be of the old world or new, and may accordingly, congratulate the Americans on the prospects they have of getting rid of such quacks as VAN BUREN, VAN JACKSON, and Mr. AMOS KENDALL. Whether the resignation takes place or not, there seems to be no doubt that the whole crew of the Democratic party will, in the month of November at the latest, be relieved from the cares of office."

Yet "the Whigs, or the 'log cabin party,'" as the Tory Morning Post terms the Opposition, have made it a part of their deceptive game to descend from their high position in society, and shake the "huge paws" of the farmer, mechanic, and laborer! How plain is the cheat—so palpable that it cannot but react with fearful force upon the heads of those who use it.
