having mugnanimously withdrawn his
name from the list of federal candidates
for the presidency, the Philadelphia Star
calls upon some Of the other federal can
dldatcs TO do the same thing, and partcu-
larly presses Mr.. Clay TO follow so worthy
an exampled- The Star says Mr.. Clay
should not destroy the party of his friends
by an unyelding repugnance to yield the
field TO more popular candidate. II, says
the Star, Mr.. Clay pervcrsely persists in
trying again an oft lest chance in defiance
of popular desire and apparent policy,
Pennsylvania CAN vote for General Har-
risen, but WONT vote for Mr.. Clayton
iSidnidn.
A Coon 'UN.-A patron of the editor Of
the Steubeaville Herald is an nquistive
chap. The editor says he has been pat
ronizing us for nearly twenty years with
out paying, and his lovely wife, not long
since, broomsticked our collector out of
the house for presenting the bill, and now
he wants to know of us why we have stop
ped his paper.
KICKING OUT THE TRAcEs.-Mr. White,
the lately elected Senator from Indiana,
declares himself in favor of Mr.. Van Buren,
for the Presidency, if General Harrison is
not selected at the Federal National Con-
vention. To secure Mr.. White, the Feds
must nominate the hero to run in Indiana
BY what strong ties the Feds are bound
together!-they go for principles, not men.
