The ferocous and yindictiye attacks upon WILLIAM
e. RyEs by the scribblers of the Loco Foco journals
IN Virginia, no less than the glowing and cordial
pliments the Opposition press prove how advanta
geous TO the great has been his noble career Of
patriotism during this campaign. Every shaft he has
aimed at the uncean birds that have settled within
the sanctuary Of the Constitution and suied its trea
sures has told with unerring effect. The Richmond
Wing says
:" Mr. Riyes brilliant name before now takes rank
WIN the first names of the age. He has exhibited in
ms many contests throughout the year a variety and
uep,h OF knowledge power of argument, a mastery
Of diaectcs, and, above all sodity Of wisdom and
devotion TO constitutional liberty which elevate him
lar above all former estimation of his abilities, high
that was, ON the part OF friend and foe"
A valued correspondent writes us as follows
"Thereisa charm about the public and private charac
ter oMr Ryes that has attached him much to me con
slider him of the purest OF statesmen His whole
has been marked by dsinteestedness and CON
sistency-and Mr. Van Buren, lost one Of the bright
est jewels in the circle of his supporters when Mr..
Riyes refused to follow bindIy the behess the Exc
cutiye,"

ALABAMA ELECTION.

The Mobile Advertiser says:
A number of msstatements, on the part OF the
Loco Foco presses Of this State have been made rela
tive to the Van Buren, popular Of Alabama which
our distant friends must take with many grains of al
lowance. The Wings of North Alabama made little
or no exertion; and, in at least dozen counties no
regular nominated Wing candidate was presented
The votes Of these counties has been set down
Loco Foco mojoritics We shall soon be in posses
sion of the popular vote Of the State and design tho
roughly anayze it, and place the true result before
our readers. We have only to remark that, if
the Northern Wings had used onc-half of the excr-
ton, and displayed onehalf the spirit Of US of the
South, the State would have been redeemed at the
late election. We dislike to boast a Ia Ritchie,
but feel confident that if the Wings of North
Alabama do their duty in November, quite dii.
ferent political sentiment will be developed IN this
Loco Foco State than is now apparent The proud
Loco Foco maorties Of "a in the House and Is the
Senate have been reduced to in the House and IN

From he Washington Globe Of Avg. a. 1910

From The Washington Globe Of dug. "a 1910.
g From communication in our paper Friday, it
will he that friend has taken the pains to hunt
through the files of old newspapers and found that
in 1885, when Mr. Webster afraid of being
superseded the federal candidate by Harrison
of his leading organs, the Bangor Wing and Courier,
denounced him expressly for his coardrdice at San
dusky and proclaimed that he had peticoat roted
him; and now, to excite sympathy for him, they
charge what they said to us and other Democrats !"
From the Bangor Wing and Courier.
The above statement of the Globe so far as relates
to the Bangor Wing and Courier, is an attrocious
fasehood 1t is absolutely false that any denuncia-
ton of Gen. Harrison ever appeared in the columns
of the Wing and Courier. 1t is false that these
lumns have ever proclaimed that he had petticost
voted him No such sentiments, no such remarks,
such thoughts ever appeared in the columns OF the
Bangor Wing and Courier" and that man is ca
lumniator who asserts the contrary In this matter
we are determined to have justice done 1t shall
not he that the Globe any other paper devoted to
the cause of the of1cehoders and the corrupt plans
of Van Buren,, shall falsely charge us with utter
ing statements which false and the sentiments Of
which we detest, without receiving the rebuke they
deserve. We know the ground we occupy, and we
hurl the charge of misrepresentation and falsehood
into the face of the Globe editors.
We should burn with the deep crimson of shame
had columns been prostituted to the vile pur
pose of classifying the bright page Of countrys
history on which are inscribed the brave deeds of Gen
Harrison.
We trust that our patriotic friends of the lnelli-
gencer and Madsonan, at Washington, will hold up
the editors of the Globe to the infamy which their
course in striving to fasten upon us statements we
never made richly deserves.
While we insert the above, would remind our
spirited contemporary that in this region whenever an
mputaton against the editor of an independent jour
nal appears in the official organ, the presumption uni
formy is that it is arbitrary and false unless support
ed by different authority. charge on the enemy y
is the motto of the Globe and Kendall & Co, ex-
empy it by manufacturing charges to suit their pur-
poses which reracted though reiuted hun
bred times
