STICK TO YOUR CANDIDATE!

The Bank party have indiscreetly nominated Mr. Burges—let them stick to that. Let them advocate his claim with all their talent and force, We agree it is an up hill business for them—but as they have chosen their own way, and their own candidate, we advise them to sustain him by all means. Why then do they leave their own candidate, and abuse other prominent men of their opponents, who are not candidates?— Who has ever authorised them to make use of Mr. Potter's name as a candidate? We have made no nomination, and certainly Mr. P. would hardly entrust such a secret to the Editors of the Journal. The truth is, the Burges men go off at half bent. They fire without aim. We will give them a little advice—just, gentlemen, take care of your own candidate, and we will assure you, at the proper time, we will our. It is a premature chick that peeps its shell too soon.

Where are our infamous panic makers? What has become of the fathers—crying 'oh my poor wife and children, what will become of them?' Has the universal prosperity of the country swallowed them up and overwhelmed them with shame and confusion? Last Spring panic, ruin, and distress, were the themes of the whiggies. Then the Bank—aye, the Bank and the currency were their hobbies. Now not a word of the Bank is heard from their lips—all is hush on this topic, since they find the people rising throughout the country, against Bank monopolies and condemning the institution with a voice of thunder—They change ground all at once, and we hear nothing of the Bank !! Produce is selling higher than ever—trade is better than ever—even the Cotton Mills, which we were told would stop on the 1st of April, have not only continued their operations, but are doing great business and at as great profit as ever.

The only thing that has been effected by the panic makers—is to cut down the wages of the poor children, by whose excessive labor our aristocrats live and are growing rich. But mark ye, the poor have to labor the same number of hours as they did before the panic.

Who can endure the wicked attempts of the panic makers, to oppress the poor and make them labor for less wages, without feeling indignation? Enough—the hearts of philanthropists bleed for unhappy situation, in which our rich and domineering aristocrats are striving to place the poor and laboring classes of our community.
