"TAXATION! grinding, annually returning, steadily increasing taxation, is eating out the substance of the people of New York. It has become an oppression..." This "misgovernment" is the result of Whig misrule, "produced by the improvident, reckless and dishonest policy pursued in regard to our canals." The Whig "run-in-debt policy" is contrasted with the Democrats' "prudent pay-as-you-go policy."
This rare pamphlet's lesson for voters: "VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET."
