GEN. HARRISON.

The st. Louis Bulletin says =" 1t gives us much
of the Wing papers Of Missouri are pursuing rela-
tive to the Presidency. They are determined to
unite upon the strongest man, and they have nearly
all declared themselves in favor of the Ohio Far
mer If the Republicans Of the United States wish
TO ensure victory the good cause, they should at
once raise his banner for he is undoubtedly the most
popular man in the Union, with the great body of
The people. A multiplicity of names can only serve
to distract the party, and If we consult its interest
we should at once unite upon that individual who is
acknowledged to be the strongest. Gen. Harrison has
pledged himself TO serve but single term, and it
will be then time enough for others to follow him,
whose names have been suggested in connection
with the Presidency.

and daring minority equal food, clothing, and
education at The public expense" were denounc-
ed by every party organ in the country, and the
N. Y. Evening Post was read out OF the
party for conntenancing their operations. We
know personally that the doctrines OF the
original loco.foco's were regarded by Mr..
Van Buren, as fanatical "excesses," as late
as June, 1897, YET he marched up to them in
his message Of September following, and he
was hailed as the well beloved Of the loco
focos, who had just the ''consanguinity OF feel
ing" they thought essential to public officers,
in order to secure the success of their doc
trines There never was a greater triumph
accomplished by so small! party, as that
which carried the administration captive into
the loco-foco camp Of New York. Thus sud-
denly conquering, the old Tammany demo-
Gratis were put under the ban Of the empire
cast out as bank democrats and outlaws.
The next move under the Loco-foco re-
Nulifers, a band nearly as small as the
Loco-focos, whittier the latter were attracted
by the recollection of sympathies in adyer-
siy." The accession was hailed by the Globe
with "joy and pride" And although MIR.
Calhoun had no reason to confide' in man
with whose Inauguration he was too much
chagrined to attend, still he thought it was
/" crisis" that might enable him to "hold his
allies in check p and therefore stock posi-
tom to sew the "palmetto button'' TO the
Loco-foco jacket, sans culottes. Thus the
union Of these two extremes, hitherto entities
of notorious opposition to the Republic
can party, formed a new party, hitherto I'M
known to the country, and composed Of ele-
ments at war on the one side with the political
union, and on the other with the social union.
All, according to the Globe, have been abound
together as in bundle," and the country is
already beginning to enjoy foretaste of the
issues thereof With the new converts to this
new party, the Democratic Republicans have
abjured sympathy, and dissolved connection.
The Globe is entitled to the honor Of accom-
plishing the divorce, and acting as high priest
in the new alliance, of which it is the organ.
1t takes, however, the name of Democracy in
vain, and may read its own fate in the latin it
has quoted for us, and in the defeat and dis
organization Of its hybrid party. Of which it
must now be momently hearing with trem-
bling and dsmay.

Mr.. RIvEs AND HIS POSITION

We perceive that some of the newspapers and their
correspondents are very anxious that Mr. Rives
should "defne his position We should suppose
that, if there any public man in the country
whose position defined by his acts, which speak
better than words, it was Mr.. Rives, But if the que
rists should desire any farther Information, let them
read the 3 Nos, which have recently appeared in
this paper on the principles and policy of the Con-
servatives," in which we are authorized by Mr..
Rives to say, that his position, in common with that
of the great body Of the Conservatives as he be-
eves is accurately and truly Defined as far words
can do it, Charlottesville Republican.

Progress Of DeYotim All power is rapidly tend
ing to the Executive With an unrestrained control
over the revenue Of the nation, the Republic will
glide into Monarchy. II is said that the Oath
of Allegiance Is even now administered to Subordi-
nate ofce-holders The Lockpor Courier states that
the Postmaster at Lewiston administered the oath to
clerk in the following form -" soicmniy srear

The unscrupulous dmiability Of the admins
tration party, has induced it to prefer such
candidates in the South as are in favor Of
National Bank and incidentally Of Sub
treasury, over Conservatives, who agree with
the administration in every particular, except
its currency measures. This is the case in
Mr.. Legare's District, who has been denounc-
ed by the Globe, as an enemy to the admins
traton, and Of course Mr.. Holmes, the friend
of a National Bank, is taken in his stead Mr..
Legare does not believe National Bank to
be consitutional-Mr. Holmes, the admins
traton candidate, entertains the opposite be-
lief This substitution Of administration
National Bank men, for Conservatives, has
been practised also in Georgia. This only
goes to verify the prediction we made before,
that, if the Sub-treasury cannot be carried,
National Bank will come uppermost! Per-
haps the Richmond Enquirer thinks this also
mere s'leather and prunella Z"
Upon the course of the Globe towards Mr.
Legare, and of Mr.. Holmes, the New York
Gazette remarks:
All this denunciation comes from the government
organ for the purpose of preventing Mr.. Is. re-
election in his district and for whose benefit do
readers suppose is the Globe attempting TO defeat
Mr.. Legare1 What individual is put forth as the
administration candidate 4? Why, truly Mr.. Isaac
+. Holmes one OF the iercest little nullifiers in
South Carolina. A very clever and good hearted
man, of whom we would not willingly utter any
thing personally unknd for his pegM in any of the
precious metals except gold and silver, but, who
so furous--so perfectly rabd during the proclama-
ton days. that il is wonderful that there is anything
left at this day, north Of the Potomac. He would
have spitted the President Vice President and the
whole Cabinet with little feeling a cook would
truss turkey-if he could have got al them! There
is describing the quantity of wrath expended by
this gentleman upon the very men who are now
pettng him, and abusing an old and steady friend.
We give the administration Joy Of Mr.. Holmes
if they get him. II is no, our present opinion that
their chance is one of the brightest

GEN. WADDY THOMPSON.

This able and independent representative
from South Carolina, is boarding the Lion of
the South in his den-he meets the arch
Nullifier face to face, and battles him with a
noble gallantry, and we are happy to see, with
distinguished success A correspondent of
the Charleston Courier at Anderson Court
House, s. c., 30th September, says:
"Not having the pleasure of an acquaintance with
YOU but being particular friend and constituent of
Gen. Thompson, take the liberty of giving you
fair statement and result Of the citizens barbecue at
this place on The 2Tth at which the Hon. w Thomp-
son and Hon. J. c. Calhoun addressed their con-
stuents You will recolect that this is the third
meeting which they have had and | do not believe
that the most partial Of Mr.. Calhouns friends dis
pute the victory they could not at the meeting at
Pckens. Never was one more complete. Mr.
Calhoun spoke one hour and half, trembling all
the time with excitement was harsh and illnatured
although not insulting. He had with him many OF
his reinue who attended both in Greenville and
Pckens, who made feeble effort to applaud. When
GIN. Thompson finished the air was rent with
shouts and ciapping OF hands. Mr.. Calhoun replied
for half and hour Gen. Thompson answered for
about the same length Of time. Mr.. Calhoun, not
willing to quit at that tried il again with no better
success. Gen. Thompson was again al him, and
with better success even than al first The applause
when he finished was immense Twas tremendous
conflict of four hours in which our gallant repre-
sentative nobly sustained his high reputation. He
commanded himself throughout, though perfectly
cool and selfpossessed while his adversary in
very undignifed passion. The result OF the cleo
ton is now beyond doub-this district is not 10 be
dictated to-"

THE COTTON CROP.

II is now reduced TO certainty, that the cotton
crop of this State is materially Short compared with
the product of 1887. Even in this county where
favorable anticpations were formed some two or
three weeks SINCE il is believed the product acre for
acre will be Is per cent less than that Of last year
In the upper part of the State the falling of will be
still greater. And if the reports of the Tennessee
and North Alabama crops are 10 be relied on, we
may safely predict that the receipts in New Orleans
in 1889 will fall below those Of 1888, fully 10000
bales
The quality of the cotton which is now gathering
is very SUPERIOR and ought to command high price
