Traitors and demagogues challenged by Ohio democracy
A lengthy editorial attacks so called conservatives and “cork-leaders” who split the party citing leaders who backed John Tyler and denouncing press organs like the St Clairsville Gazette Newark Constitutionalist Zanesville Aurora and Wayne County Standard. It denounces Tappan issues and calls for unity under truth and justice, naming convention officers and résumés of the resolution committee. The piece targets figures in Jefferson and Preble counties and frames the 1830s party struggle as a fight against corrupt platform expansion.
