HARTFORD CONVENTION FEDERALISM OPENLY PROMULGATED BY THE WHIG STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF OHIO.

The whig Central Committee have published an address, embracing many of the leading sentiments and opinions of the treasonable address of the infamous Hartford Convention. Not only the sentiments, but many of the very words of this modern federal address are stolen from the Hartford Convention address.

The Democratic State Committee have published (side by side) extracts from the whig committee's address and extracts from the address of the Hartford convention, showing the Hartford paternity of this modern federal address beyond a doubt!

Verily, these self-styled whigs return to their first principles like the dog to his vomit and the sow to her wallow!!
