can utility of his measures, have thus lar sus'a'hea

rive him my feeble cooperation.
But n. ,nust BIZ rrvilrd, and he will be enyied. Ma
nv who feel the principles of primogeniture beat high
in their bosonls, will urge that he should not receive
that distinction which Republican equality has, and
will again award hun.
do not believe that General Harrison is an ultra Fee
deralist from principle, but that he may be such by us.
ISOLATION, | cannot deny. And ] regard him as being
too courteous to majorIties, If he wi! sign a charter
which he believes unconstitutional, 10 ohige a majority
after he shall have sworn to hold Tie Constitution IN
violate.
Respecting our fellow citizen, Governor Tyler: lbe-
lie ~. that he is a State Rights Republican, and as such
| could, under other associations, freely award hun
my suffrage; yet, whilst there are many Democratic
Slate Rights men zralously cooperating with the Wing
party, consider :he leaders ofihe party, and a MAORI
" of it, to he Ftdcrniists, who claim that all is knayr-
nv and corruption VIII ch IS not administered by them
selvrs.-And IN case of their success, the majority OF
the party will rule The whole country, and with can
s0iidated smay. But we must, we will avert such con-
sequences.
In this country we have no privileged orders or IA
miles known To our Constitution. Yet, we have pri-
vilegcd feelings: yes, feelings of exclusivenrss And
we may attempt to exp"und the Constitution, or dcl'-
neate the reserved rights of the States, through the
symbol of a lng cabin, or a lnliItlcation around an
empty cider barrel, but the intelligence Of the pr"duc
ing portion of our people is moderated by our Federal
brethren. Call il a log cabin-caIl it what you please
and bait with an empty barrei-and yet the people
will not be caught in that clog trap"
Hoping hat your patriotic lahors may be attended
with 4 harmonious and triumphant issue, am, with
very great consideration, yours, &c,
JOS. TYLER ALLYN.

vote for Martin Van Buren,, Gen. Howard and the other
Democratic candidates.
We find, also, in the Washington county (Ia.) Demo.
crat, the following letter, which is evidently written BY
some clear-minded and honest man, who has become
disguised with the false professions and bad practices OF
the Wing party, and its candidates.:
HAGERsTowx, Md, June I'd, 1910.
To tic Chairman Of The 7Tpperanoe C7"b:
Sir: Having changed my opinion upon political sub,
jccis since ] signed as a member of the Club, ! consider
mys"lfbound to request you to strike my name from the
list Of members.
When ! signed as a member believed the Wings
right, and as ! have always acted with that party, !

what his principles are-and | think it wrong for the
Wing party TO nominate n candidate at Harrisburg,
and not TO tell the people what sort Of principles are 10

their candidate is elected. III have ever believed MIR
