Relief BY THE UNITED STATES
RANK

0rThe following from Virginia pa
per, will not be relished by the friends
of national bank, but SO it is with those
who will not be convinced, even against
the evidences of their own senses.
FACT AGAINST THEoRy.--TO those
who incline 10 think that national bank
would or could have prevented the evils
with which the country is now afflicted,
we commend the following brief extracts:
From the National Iateligeacer, Sep
tembcr II, 1918.
Stocks are down, down, while the rates
of exchange are advancing at rapid and
unprecedented rate. The CURRENCY
is in confuson--ruin and bankruptcy
meet us on every hand. Theldomestic
exchanges were never worse, and scarce
ever can be. The Southern bills are al
most worthless at the North, and the
West is in nearly as bad a situation
What is to be done, we know not. The
GeArUNITED STATES BANK-iS0 can
afford US no relief, ii even it shall be able
10 stand itself,
Thus spoke the National Intelligenccl
in 1918, published in,Washington City
and edited by the same men as now
Federalsts then, now modern Wings; but
General jackson was not President, mol
Mr. Van Buren,. The Federalists hat
not then learned to lay all the calami
ties and distress Of the whole Union L
Democratic men ard measures. The!
then spoke the sober truth, and did no
pretend to deceive the people.

the assertions Of Wbigsry. Indeed, the
hired correspondent Of the National Ia.
ielllgencer is now daily complaining that
money is too plentiful in New York -
lie no longer bewaIls, in his canti1g
phrase, ihe tightHess Of the money mark
Ct. 1t IS now, it seems, too loose. The
Federallsts underrate the intelligence Of
the people, when they think they are to
be deiuded by such degrading slang. 4
moderate Treasury, general industry,
and, above all, sound currency, that is
all that is wanting TO ensure and perpet-
uate national prosperity.

Melancholy Accideat-Seren Persons
DrOpned.-We learn from undoubted
authority, that Oh Sunday afternoon last,
a party consisting of seven incentive wO-
men and two children, left French Greek,
Jefferson county, in a small sail boat for
a pleasure excursion, and had not pro-
ceeded lar when the craft was capsized
by sudden Gaw of wind, and the FIVE
women and two children were drowned.
The men succeeded in gaining the shore,
probably being good swimmers, and keep
ing a good look out not TO be entangled
with burthens in the shape of women and
children. The bodies of the deceased
persons had not been recovered at the
last accounts.-OsUegc Palladium.

We commend the following extract
from a speech delivered by Lord Brough-
am in the House ofLords, 10 the consider
alton of every merchant who thinks that
the course of the administration party,
with regard to the currency, is adverse
to commerce.
Lord b. says: at is monstrous, my
Lord, that any man, or body Of men, cor
porate, or otherwise, should haye the pow
er of making money cheap or dear, at will,
of combining the Office of regulator OF
national currency with that Of bankers;
that they should be both the money ma
kers and money dealers; that they should
have the privilege at any one period OF IN
undating the country with an immense
amount Of paper currency, thereby stimu
lating speculation as well as trade, raising
prices, wages, and profits, and at another
period drawing in their rags ,screwing vi
all legitimate sources Of credit, as well a
capital, and thereby lowering prices ant
wages, and diminishing profits, producing
stagnation Of of trade, running mer
chants and manufacturers by the hun
dreds, and spreading misery and wretch
,edness among thousands

Loss OF THE STEAMBOAT NORTH CAR
oLINA.-On Saturday night week, the
steamboats, Gov. Dudley, and North Car.
olina, belonging to the Wilmington and
Roanoke Rail Road Co., unfortunately
came in collision, about sixty miles south
ofWilmington. The Dudley's bow run
into the North Carvlina's larboard quarter,
which sunk her almost Immediately, but
lot before the passengers and crew were
rescued. No lives we're lost, which is
something very remarkable, as the pas
sengers had all retired to their berths,
but nearly all the baggage and the U. S,
Mails for the south, went down with the
boat. The passengers were taken back
10 Wilmington in the Dudley, and while
on their way thither, some subscriptions
were generously raised 10 aid them who
had lost their all in the sunken boat On
board were everal members of Congress,
and among them was Gen. Dawson, who
lost fifteen thousand dollars that was de-
posted in his trunk. 1t is stated that
the aggregate loss in money was large.

TO PREVENT THE DESTRUCTION
OF PEACH TREES.

Experiments with which we are per-
sonally acquainted have proved it beyond
doubt, that the damage done TO peach
trees is not by the cold of our winters
but by TOO early springs. If those who
have peach trees, will cover the roots
foot daep with hay or straw, they will
thereby prevent the sap from ascending
until the spring is fairly open, and thus
save their trees from the awful destruc-
tion, especially in the colder regions of
our country.

81 think the attempt of the opposition to de.
grade our moral aud national character, both at
home and abroad, by their hulnbuggsry of hard
cider and log cabins, begins to recoil upon the
actors. 1t is saying to the people, YOU are too
ignorant for self-gove:ament, and we can lead

This is too great an indignity fOi The people to

We understand that poor woman, lv-
ing in Adams county, lost three children
a few days ago, under the following cir
cumstances She went 10 a small ere ok,
near her dwelling, 10 do some wa ashing,
taking her three little children with her.
During the iorepart of the day, her chill.
dren becoming hungry, she sent the two
Oldest TO The house, 10 procure some eggs,
out of hens nest under the floor of the
building. The children not returning,
(having been absent near two hours) she
went toseek them, leaving the third child
at the creek. Imagine the poor mothers
distress, when she came TO the house, ON
finding her two children dead! They
had been bitten by rattle snake, which
it is supposed, had found its way into the
hens nest.-The mother almost immedi-
ately returned to thecreek, intending to
get her other child, and 60 for the assis
taHce of her neighbors-but, dreadful to
relate, when she reached the creek, her
third child had crept in, and was drowned |!
What must have been the feelings of the
wretched mother, we leave our readers
10 imagine.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

A general meeting of the Democracy of st.
Louis is requested on this evening, at II O'Clock,
P. NJ, at The Court House, to congratulate one
another on the auspicious result of the Election,
and prepare for the more important contest in No
'vember.
THE ELEcTIoNs--Th most exhilirating news
flows in from every quarter. Never has the
democratic bone and sinew of the land throwA
forth its masses with such amazing breadth of
front. The voice ofthe people booms along the
rivers like an earthquake of joy. The generous
spirit ofthe eomanry has kindled, and lights up
the land with the fires of geunine patriotism
Returns have reached us from a majority of the
river counties OF Missouri and Illinois, aud the
federal strength has busnt like a bubble. Every
where victory for the democracy.
SO far as,heard from in Missouri, we have re-
verssd the federal majority of in their strongest
counties. Washington, Jefferson, Warren, and
old Pike have repudiated the "peticoal," and
elected full democratic delegations. The Feder-
eral majoriIes have in each of their strong holds
been reduced, aud in the democratic counties our
majority have as uniformly increased. The re-
turns whichwe publish in condensed form may
be relied upon as correct.AWhat glorious pic
ture, demucrats!! How the heak yeans to
grapple these noble yeoman ons by one by the
hand, and say, 'Well done, good and faithful Re-
publicans!n How gloriousy have the people
rindicated themselves from the fou-mouthed SLAM
ders of the Federalists, and left them choacked
with the slime Of their own epithets.
ST. LopIs COUNTY The complete returns
show federal majority of 707. The majority of
1888, was sos. The federal majority has been
diminished 80 votes, and this in the face of the
bonlblstic hue and cry with which the federalsts
have stunned the general ear, The aggregate
vote of 1888 was 3l2R; that of 1910 is 3997,
showing an increased vote of $40.

THE REAL HERO OF THE
THAMES!

The Globe relates the following thrill
ling story;
"Maior BARRY, former Postmaster
General, and aid TO Gov. SHELBY at the
battle of the Thames, has often told US
that when he rode from the rear TO see
the body of his friend, (the Colonel J
whom he understood 10 have been killed i,
he met the soldiers bearing him back TO
where the reserve was stationed, in
blanket. The blood was flowing from
each end, the drip from the middle, not
being sufficient to carry it off. He look
ed in upon the Colonel, thus literally i'm
bedded in his own blood, and his face
was instantly lighted with the smile with
which he always salutes his friends-"I
will not die, BARRY, (said the Colonel }
| am nightly cut 10 pieces, but think
my viials have escaped" His courage,
and his love for his friends, and pride in
having performed his duty, beamed from
his countenance, having vanquished the
anguish of his torn feet and hands and
the wounds through his body. What
must be his pleasures now, when his
countrymen shower their applauses upon
him, and all his tolls and his pains are
over "

For the P1Iiticnl Exnmint


Mr.. EDIToR-Upon reading the proceedings of
the Van Buren, Convention, recently held in
Georgetown, l find that my old and liberal friend,
David Crawford, is again put in nomination for
County Recorder Being Democrat, and anxious
TO promote such men as win carry out Democratic
principles, have thought proper to enquire through
the medium of your paper Of Mr.. Crawford upon
the following points:
l. Are you in favor Of the old Jefferson doctrine
of rotation in Office, do you cling to the modern
Vanocratic doctrine of''rotGting into otfce.a
I'd. How many offices do you hold at this time,
three or .fo1sr2
Sd, Do you require of your neighbors gold and
silver in payment of postage, and then sell the
same at a large per centum, for paper money p
and do you pay off the mail Contractors in this
deprecated currency!
4th. Have you ever been fined for refusing to
musier-and have you endeavored to avoid the
payment Of that fine by proving that you are not
a citizen of the United States?
The above interogations, Mr.. Crawford, have
been suggested in my neighborhood, as proper for
you to answer. l am myself Democrat, and
cannot support you, unless the above enquiTies re
answered in stIict accordance with the Jefferso-
nian Democratic creed,
AN OLD.DEMOCRAT.
Straight Creek, Aug l2, 1910.
"When Fame's loud trump ha,h blown its
nobest blast,
Though long the sound, the echo seepsat last;
And glory, like the phenix midst her fires,
Exhales her odours, blazes and expires"
Was it upon the reading, or By reading, &c
that " Jind." How could yOuyfnd, unless some
thing was lost? which neither your language nor
that of the proceedings Of the Convention inti-
mates. You certainly must have perceived,
or observed it and not found it. The phrase
g being democrat," in your second sentence,
would refer to Crawford, who is the subject in
conclusion in the first. Eom this phraseology
you convey the idea of Crawford being demo-
:rat: whereas, from the continuance of this long,
verbose paragraph of six lines, you must have
meant your dear self. Analyse your two first
periods, (and if you cannot d, it yourself, ask
some Of your more intelligent neighbors,) and you
will soon perceive that you are in more posses
ion of beard than brains; and your production o.
nonsense is better adapted to the inflated pride o.
visionary eNdite.
lst. You ask, are you in favor of the old JEFF
ferson doctrine! First inform Crawford what i,
the young Jefferson doctrine, or who the youns
Jefferson is; then be assured he will answer you
on the subject of the old Jefferson doctrine. You
first numeral proposition is, like its author, pn
comely, unnatural and disconnected in all it
parts.
