FoR "THE SALT RIVER JouasAI.n
NINE CHEERS FOR GOLD pJKE,r

Nh. EDrroR.-The first Monday and
Tuesday Of August 1910, were DAYS long to
be remembered in our political history
Days on which the independent Democrats
OF Pike county Mo. declared in a voice OF
thunder in the exercise Of the right of sui:
frage, that they stood for ever absolved from
all allegiance to the mandates of Federal
Whiggery. "Old Pike" is now Democratic
to the core, and her Democratic sons, will in
future, teach their political enemies. that in.
dependent free men, are not to be caioled or
duped into the support of candidates for
office, of the old black Cockade Federal
School in politics, by the getting up of .Hard
Cider" Observation-Disclosures song singing
and the exhibition Of Coon Skins and such
like toolery.
Much will devolve on you Mr.. Editor, as
a faithful sentinel upon the swatch tower ol
liberty" in sounding the .oscin of alarm on
the first approach OF the enemy, and 10 i'm
press 4. upon the minds of the peopIe-that
eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty"

OF LOUISIANA ELEcrroN.-We have at
last received information, that may be relied
upon. The Democrats have gained one
member OF Congress. In the 3rd distric,
the result Of which, has been solong a matter
OF doubt, the Wings. have succeeded by about
80 majority. The final returns we have no,
seen. In the New Orleans district the
Wings had a considerable increase, owing il,
IS said TO the personal popularity of theircan-
dId.te. We have great reason, to consrat.
.ulate ourselves on the result, when it is re-
collected that, no man can vote in this State
who is not the gunner Of real estate. DEMO-
racy has but little to expect, from any PEG.
pie, who retain this foul blot 10 their cons,i.
tuition.

o. Since we commenced the publication
of the remarks Of Mr.. Lincoln of Mass. we
have seen a letter of his in the National 10.
telligencer, in which he denies the fidelity Of
the report Of them which we publish from

the difference between the report and MIR.

words than in substance. Nj. L. has been
induced to write out the speech entire from

A New York paper thus alludes to the stale

From the following paragraph in the Bos-
ton Morning Post, we unde rstand the foreign
trade Of Boston to be in a very fuurishings,ate:
"To what u very sad state the mper
of Boston has been reduced by this wicked
Administration? Its tonnage is only about
equal to the amount Of the whole tonnage of
England q century and a half ago. In 1880
the number offoreign and coastwise arrivals
was $3.50; and last year they were only
5,804, which is but an increase ola little
more than 2,200. And then look ut the &C.
Count Of foreign arrivals! In The whole year
Ut 1880, the whole number was 642, and
now in Mr.. Van Buren's adlninistra ion, in

has been only 66i for the half year. What
good cause the merchants OF Boston have l.,
make waro Mr.. Van Buren,. Their foreign
commerce in his Administration is in SIX

o. The Wings accuse us of a~ppropriating

CENTENARY OF PRINTING.
The following is from the New Yorker


Some four or five years ago we remember
10 nave read an account of the celebration, at
Edlnburg, Scotland, of the four hundredth an
nlversary of the Discovery of tho Art of Print
ing, IN which Campbell, Rogers, Christopher
Worth, and many other distinguished person.
ages participated. We thought then thai the
festival was observed in advance of the APP
ProPrlate time, and a pamphlet published soon
alter by German Antiquarian confirmed our
oeilaf and pointed to the summer of 1910 az
the true anniversary. We are glad to find
lna' the gionous event is this year to be np-
P:oPtiately commemorated in several psrts of
Europe and America. At Leipsic, the centre
OF the literary world, the 24th, 25th and 26th
OF June have been designated as the time, and
several eminent writers are engaged on odes.
orations and histories, preparatory to the eel.
eDratlon. In the Cathedral of ST. Bayans at
f1@rlem,-the same cathedral of which Jams
LdurenttHs, the putative inventor, was Roster
(unoertaker) In l44O-an oratorio to be called
'Licht yon iilmmel' is to be performed: and
we see by the Boston Post that Felix Men
delsohn Bartholdy is writing musical drama
i ior the same occasion at Leipsic. We be-
Ieve that preparations are making in London
also for an appropriate observance of the GEN.
tenary.
"Ihe printers of Boston, we see. are fol.
rem. Their societies have appointed the ne
cossary committees, and they will doubtless
worthliy commemorate the discovery. We
nope similar measures will be adopted in this
city. Col. Stone of the Commercial, who ia
an Jaif in these matters, should be called ON
tor an grafton; Bryant and Benjamin for
oaes and all connected with the press soli-
cited In some manner to participate in the
jubilee.
We trust that the suggestions Of the New
orker may be carried out. The ball should
nave been put In motion earlier. Had it been
started In the winter grand celebration wor-
thy OF the great event, might have been rot
ten up. Even now if the printers, publishers.
editors, the literati, and the distinguished
hand, most magnificent affair NAV be con-
cocted. A writer in the Signal suggests that
the venerable John Quincy Adams he selected
to deliver an Grafton. No one would suit
better. The celebration would be regarded 4.
broad as creditable to the literary taste and

says:
"History mentions no such GATHERING of
people since that in the Champ de Mars to

speak OF the numbers present, their bound
less enthusiasm, or the vast territory from
the most distant points of which they assem-
bled, we may, as chroniclers of passing e.
vents, mention it as a surprising pageant.
and thrilling demonstration of the intensity
OF that feeling which animates the supporters
of Gen. HARRIsoN.
The long procession through Baltimore
streets, the multitudes that thronoed every
passage, door, window, roof, and even stee-
pie, presented a picture to which we can re-
call 10 comparison but Martins celebrated
