Let us do our part, and we have full confidence that the Whigs of the other portions of the State will not prove laggard in the coming contest. ·(verbatim) (1)
1371 - 11 Aug. 14; ed:2/1 - We notice that in most parts of the state both political parties are organizing for the October contest, and nom- inations in many counties have already been made. The coming election is an important one: true it only concerns our own state, but Ohio is Whig, and it will be a deep disgrace to us if we allow a false sense of security to betray us into indifference, and defeat, and that defeat place the law-making power in the hands of a reckess party, who dare to commit the most flagrant outrages upon our institutions under the abused name of Democracy.
"The deformities of patent Democracy have been exposed in Ohio, and its heartlessness and dishonesty rebuked, but it must be kept before the people in its naked hideousness, and every Whig be a committee of vigi- lance to see that the monster does not steal even a rag to hide its true character - Locofocoism wearing the pure vesture of True Democracy!" (6)
1372 - H Aug. 15; ed:2/1 - As the fall election approaches, it is well to look over the battlefield and see what is to be done, and what there is to fight for.
"What have the Whigs to gain or lose at the coming election? We answer, much. At this time, however, we shall only touch upon one mea- sure; that, is emphatically a Whig measure, and perhaps none of more serious importance demands the attention of the people; we mean the cur- rency." It is fresh in the memory of many how the self-styled democrat- ic party lulled the suspicions of the people by the cry of bank reform, a few years ago, and how, when in power, they forgot reform and slaugh- tered good banks and bad banks, right and left.
At this crisis the Whigs came in as the true friends of reform, and the people put them in power. "But nine short months and mark the change: good, safe Bank notes are circulating where rags before held sway, true it is, but a small amount as yet have been issued, but it re- quires time to restore our circulation to a perfectly heathful state."
The Whigs are the best soldiers in the world for storming the enemy's citadel, but once victory is won, they are content to relax, and thus allow an insidious. foe. to steal back his lost ground. Apathy must be guarded against if currency reform is to be maintained.

1380 - H Sept. 3:2/1 . In a letter to the editor, "Tax Payers" say: Are the people of Cuyahoga sufficiently awake to the interests that may be gained for the county during the next session of the legislature? A re- vision of our incomplete statute laws, and a wholesome reform in crimi- nal laws will come up for consideration, all, of course, affecting the purses of our taxpayers, directly or indirectly. As the laws now stand, even a Philadelphia lawyer could not decipher them.
"Reform, take my word for it, is loudly called for in the premises, and the law giver who would understandingly take hold of this feature of legislation would greatly benefit the tax payers of the State."
Such a man is Frank T. Backus. The general satisfaction he has given for industry, ability, and zeal in the office he honors (Prosecuting At- torney), is evidence to the people that he would make an efficient Rep- resentative.
