A great fraud The true object of democratic institutions is to promote the security, happiness, freedom, and prosperity of the people, under a government of their own framing, and under laws enacted by the representatives of their own choice.---The government of the Unites Staes [sic] is of this kind. Politicians, ambitious of place and power, and who have for more than thirty years plotted the overthrow of democracy, have during all that time been guilty of a great fraud on the workingmen of the country. ... In the name of democracy they have stirred up the laboring men and have filled the streets of New York with bloodshed, arson, and riots, and have disgraced us in the eyes of the world. ... Workingmen of the Union! The man who advocates such doctrines is not a democrat, but an enemy of democracy, and the foe of every laborer

Don't unchain the tiger! When the traitors of South Carolina met in Convention in Charleston, and passed their ordinance to abolish the American Union, to crush out the democratic principles of free government in America, ... Workingmen! when any man asks you to break the law, and tries to stir up your passions, while he skulks out of sight, you may set him down as your worst enemy. Spurn him as you would a viper. The patriotic workingmen of the North cannot afford to spend time in killing each other. Be wise, and above all things, don't unchain the tiger!
