the great body OF the people think, that. Ia much
better evidence Of democracy than the support OF
Martin Van Buren,, with the Kingly powers and
more than Kingly prerogatYos which he assumes
and seeks for.
Again we hope this circular may now find gen.
oral circulation in Missouri-especially through
the Wing prints Regarded even as the secret
counsels of the friends Of Harrison and Reform,
it will be foundto be LIBERAL republican, an,i-pro-
scriptve, and in every respect upright and honora-
ble The people will not fear the ascendancy of
General Harrison, while his friends hold such doc.
trlnes as these-in their communion with each
other well as in their more public declarations.
As to the cant of the Democrat about raising mo-
ney to dfuse light .and information, especially in
the remote sections Of the country, where, from
having no mails, and other causes, the people can
not be as well informed Of passing events as they
are in the more popuous settlements--the attempt
to excite the prejudiceS Of such citizens only shows
that the loco.focos undervalue their intelligence and
integrity, greatly more than the Wings regret their
comparative disconnection with the means of nfor-
nation. On the whole, the loco-focos will rue the
day that they dishonest enough to procure, and
simple enough to publish this admirable circular.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE Rooas,|
Fayette, January, 1910.
sR:-Amongst the proceedings of the recent Wing
Convention, You have doubtless dscovered that there
was mposed upon this committee the duty of prepar-
ing an address to the people of the State-20 900 cop
les whereof they to have printed and distributed
and that it the duty of the various county commit
tees, take the necessary steps TO furnish themeans
to cover the expense thereby to be incurred
Tho committee have proceeded far
the documentary and other evidence indicated in the
resolutions of the convention. to be ready to
pee the execution of the aborious task devoved upon
them, the receipt OF the Presidential Mes
sage shall indicate the precise position of the adver-
sary with whom we have TO contend and they will
not permit themselves to doubt that erpoSe, which
the convention attached great and so Just mpor-
lance, will be delayed from any negligence in their
county associates, in Withholding their remittances
Taking the lowest estimate which has been made of
the expenses which must be incurred in the execution
Of this duty, and graduating the levy on the various
counties according tother best most equitable udg-
ment the contingent of Greene, is set down at $40.
This sum for suggested by the espionage of
the Post Office, may be enclosed to the individual ad-
dress of any member of the committee, this place.
We have fixed upon the first day of March as the pe-
Rod against which expect TO be in receipt Of an
swers from all the gentlemen TO whom we shall adj
dress this Circular (either sngly by accredi
ted organ of our friends in each county, -und the
committee rely that such may not be of the
county committee and especially in counties where
none have been organised (havng names before
us) will nevertheless facilitate the object contemplated
in as prompt and efficient though they
were,
The result Of the Presidential nomination at Hair
risburc has impaired spirit of hope and of confidence
to which the wings in this section of the State have
long been strangers. In own county, we kl0U it
was the strongest that could have been made and we
have information from several surrounding counties
that in the changed issue presented by the name OF
General Harrison. Mr. Van Ruran uil he in,
many places where he before triumphant. So
much for the wings having magnanimousy given up
the Of their first choice in Difference the desire
to concilae the support ALL by steering clear of the
preiudices of any portion of the people-and this
should be their admission and position ererycere not
more because it is true, than because it will contribute
disarm adyersares of that omnipotcnt prejudice
with which they have so long and successfully borne
down every thing else. Let the triumph of HARRISON
therefore, be the triumph of the People. The wings
will have glory and advantage enough in having acted
Uih hent-and the proper reciprocity will grow up
and result rs matter q course and in the natural pro-
gress OF events without demand specification in ad
vance. -.-------->I-------
We have been led to these remarks and sugcesto ms
by the evidences before US, and from the reflection
and conviction that, in the abuses which have been
Perpetract I'D the name OF party, numbers of the peo-
pie, in every directions have become tired of the very
names under which the political battles of the coun-
try have been waged We therefore respectfully sug
gest whether it may not be found Gin many counties
Mt Ieast) that to unite with this class of men, and with
the Harrison Democrats, will not be more araiLa-
able means of promoting the great object of ov, rfhrow
ingtho administration and its corruptions, than the
pertnacious and ostenaous retention of the separate
and distinctive appeatiOn by which the country has
heretofore been divided in reference to another dis
tinguShed but much preJudiccd statesman! Will it
not be suthcen, Tor all practical purposes, that an IL
MON be consunated, all the elements who are favor
able to the election OF honest patriotic and deser

With view OF contributing this important aggre- i
