larger discounts than they intended for, recol-
lecting how matters went year ago, they have
offered twice as many notes as they wished dis
counted, not expecting that more than half would
be "done," whatever might be the offering but
to theil surprise, on applying at the desk of the
discount clerk the next day, they found that every
note had been discounted, the discount cast, the
proceeds entered on the books, and the notes filed
away in the vault. A merchant of our acquain-
lance who had large balance lying to his credit
in banks, not seeing any likelihood of having use
for it actually went to the Bank and bought back
quantity of notes at par which he had sometime
before procured to be discounted, leaving it for
the Bonk to allow something for the discount, or
not, as they pleased, Money is very plenty in
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore so that all
dealers who have had good paper on hand, read
lily procure what money they require, at per
cent.
Here then we have practical proof, and that
from whig organ, that the Independent Treas
ury Bill does not restrict banks in discountng,
does not lessen the amount OF money, and does
not lower the value of property Thus are the fed

WING PROCEEDINGS.

The wings of the First Congressional District
have renominated Hon. HILAND HALL for Con-
gress.-In the Third District they have re-nomina-
ted Hon HORACE EvERTT. Mr. Everett was an
ultra federalist of the Washington Benevolent and
Hartford Convention school. His nomination was
pushed and succeeded against the claims of all the
wings in the district, who were formerly democrats
and among them ANDREW TRACY, Esq. Mr.
Tracy was democrat when MIR. Everett was fgur-
ing as prominent federalist, and is man decided
" superior to Mr. Everett as a man of high intel
lectuol endowments. How does it come about we
ask, if the wing party is the old democratic party,
as claimed by many of its members, that such old,
ultra, adhereing federpiss Horace Everett, are
so perseveringy supported for Congress, in coun-
ty as democratic as Windsor formerly was 1t is
most clear, to every person, at all acquainted with
the politics of this state that the influence Of the
Hartford Convention federalists is in the undispu-
ted ascendancy, in the wing party, and comPcls
every man to sucumb who may have the indepen-
dence to question its policy or patriotism. We
should suppose such men as Mr.. Tracy and Judge
Hutchinson would be the last men TO submit to a
kind of federal ascendancy such as exists among
the wings of Windsor County. But they will prod
ably, be made to smother their opposition and turn
in for Mr.. Everett We opine, however that if Mr.
Tracy sees fit to seek reform among the wings OF
that district they will find it particularly difficult
matter to gag him. But family quarrels are bad
things for third persons to NEEDLE with

HURRAH FOR THE INDEPENDENT
TREASURY

For months-aye, for ycars-the fcderaists have
been croaking over the disastrous consequences
to be produced by the passage of the Independent
Treasury Bill. The brains oiibe opposition prints
and hard cider politicians have pretended 10 more
inIaab.e second sight than was ever possessed
by German witch or Highland seer. They have
represented the awful misfortunes which would
fall upon the land BY the odious bill, and their
teeming imaginations have swarmcd thick
"with complicated monsters head and tail,
Scorpion and asp, amphisTnn dire,
Cerastes horn'd hydras and elops drcar,
And dispas-"
and dragons more horrible than those mentioned
in these was to become valueess; labor a worth
less drug 'The, Bill said the Hampshire Gazette
of April Is, 1910, "will reduce the ordinary a
mount of the currency Of the country, and conse-
quenty diminish the value of property" The
banks we have also been told, would cease to dis
count and no money could be had. But the
Rubicon is passed-tbe bill is now law va
last week mentioned the effects it produced in
decreasing the value of property. We have now
to present the facts of its operation upon the
banks and to show our readers whether il will
delcteriously shu, up their Golfers. No the dan
ger is now, as always been that the banks vii
discount 10 much Of their worthless paper, and
as shown repeatedly the independent Treasury
will not restrict their issues. On the contrary

AYOICE FROM THEPULPIT.

We make the following extract from an article

the minister of respectable and growing Baptist
congregation in this village took accession on sun
day lest to perform his whole duty as a faithful
Christian minister, and warned his congregation
to guard against the APPROACH of evil and
DISSIPATION attended on log cabin raisings and
hard cider jubilees. lie disclamed any feelings
of preference for the Presidential candidates of the
democratic or wing party but expressed hmsrlf as
every American should feel, as having an interest
in the polirica and religious welfare of all. On
the subject of the ridiculous farce which is to be-
PLAYED Off in our village on Saturday next, Mr..
Hincher characterized the whole as GO too unbe-
coming and immoral TO be countenanced by chris
tan community" and faithfully warned his peo-
pie to beware lest they should sin by putting their
hands to the unclean thing. 'lf' said he, "a Pres
ident of the United States cannot be elected by
any other means than by DRINKING HARD
CIDER and rasind log cabins-woe to our free
institutions they are lost forever y As proof
that hard cider was freely used to promote poi-
cal enthusiasm he read an extract from religious
newspaper, giving IN account of its free use at
several places where log cabins had been raised,
and of the enthusiastic feeling it produced. And
he might have added the example furnished by
Gen. Harrison himself, who, while making his
speech at late celebration at Fort Meigs, looked
around as if for some water, when the cry was
raised-Gire the General some HARD CIDER
This was done much TO the satisfaction of the null

A FORGERY. The citation is one of those nu-
merous inventions of whiggery which have never
thought it necessary to contradict. This lying of
the federalsts is nothing new. 1t was in MIR. JEFF
ferson's time called by him ''the JUNCTION with
which federalism Amounted democrats have
had my share of ii, for which, though have hllll-
crto been silent, have not been thankful, as such
things expose more fully to the American people
than could otherwise be done, the utter destituton

characteristic of federal leaders and guides.
