1JThe Jefersonton (Culpepcr) Tppeca-
noe Club called a meeting lately for the p"r-
pose of discussion, which was opened on the
part of the Administration by Major Wallace,
who was replied to by Samuel Chiffon. The
company were then invited to partake of a
cold collation. provided for the occasion, after
which Senator Smith took the stand, and held
forth in his usual strain. The Warrentcn
Times thus describes the sequel:
"When Mr.. Pendleton took the stand in re-
ply to Mr.. Smith, the latter gathered up his
papers and documents in a hurried manner,
and exhibited his purpose of decampine, as
usual, without hearing the reply. Mr.. p, in
most courteous manner, invited him 10 re-
main; he asked it as personal favor; he de-
manded it as an act of justice ; but all in vain
Matters of indispensable urgency constrained
Long, long will this ''Star" man remember
the burst of bitter and indignant inyectye
which fell upon his devoted head, when his
determination to ''run,' was announced.
"You cut and rum them" said MIR. Pendlc.
ton; ''you af,oaysd do so. We met at Orange,
you 'cut and un,'-we met at Greene, yon
cut and run, at Culpeper. you scut and run
at Rappahannock, you cheated me out of
my reply, and here, again, you cut and run
You always 'cut and run'-you are afraid to
stay-you dare not hear the reply. now
tell you mean to reply to you, and present OF
absent, l shall deal personally with yon."
All would not do-the course of the stStar"
was fxen: go he would, and GO he did, leav-
ing the longest set of faces among his Loco
Foco admirers we ever beheld.''

To TIE PEOPLE OF AUGUSTA.

The Committee appointed by meeting Of
the Democrats of Augusta to invite from a
broad some Democrats to address the good
people at the August Court, having perform
ed that duty, and reported the same to sub
sequent meeting, and it having been made
their duty by resolution adopted at said
meeting, to give public and extensive notice
of the acceptance of the invitations by a
number of Democrats, do hereby, in pursu-
ance of said resolution, notify the people OF
Augusta that VIM. Smith, of the county OF
Culpeper, Thomas J.. Randolph, of the
county of Albemarle, and John Letcher of
the county of Rockbridge, and probably some
others, will be in Staunton, on the 18th Mon
day in this month, to address the people on
the all absorbing political questions of the
day.
We would at the same time notify the
Democrats Of the county, that meeting OF
the party will be holden at the Common Hall
Room in Staunton, at 10 o'clock, on the NOR
ming of the 4th Monday in this month; and
as business of Importance to the party is to
be transacted, it is desirable that there should
be full meeting. One of the objects of the
meeting is the appointment of delegates to
the State Convention to be holden at Char
lottesville, and the District Convention to be
holden at Lexington.

The Wing Festival at Charlestown, JefIer-
son county, Virginia, on the 30th ult. was, we
| learn from gentleman present, one OF the
largest and most interesting meetings ever
held in the State. The scene of the festival
was beautiful grove, about two miles from
the town, where abundant provision was
made by the Committee of Arrangements for
the accommodation of the assembled multi
tude. The honest yeomanry of the adjacent
counties attended in crowds, and many visi-
tiers from Baltimore and other distant places
were brought in the railroad cars. Messrs.
HOFFMAN, PITTS, and KENNEDY, from Balti-
more, and Gov. Pore, Of Kentucky, enchain-
ed the attention ofthe audience, by their elo-
quent and patriotic speeches, from 10 o'clock
in the morning till in the afternoon when
MIR. REvERDY JOHNSON, OF Baltimore, COM
menced addressing them, but acquiesced in
suggestion that the meeting should adjourn
to Charlestown, and that he should there re-
sumo his address. The adjourned meeting
was addressed at the Courthouse by Mr.
JOHNSON, in speech worthy of his high repu-
tation; and also by Col. AUGUSTINE J. SMITH,
Of Clarksburg, with great animation and abil-
ity.
II is supposed that about 10000 persons
were assem bled In the woods near Charles
town. Some idea Of the magnitude of the
preparations may be formed from the fact that
1000 pounds of meat were provided, and
bread in proportional quantity. The spirit
of the Old Dominion was visible in the whole
proceeding. The Charlestown meeting was
a great popular movement, evincing the de-
termination Of the People of Virginia that
their State shall take the stand which her his
tory entities herto in reforming the national
councils. 1t will, we learn, be followed by
similar meetings in other parts Of Virginia.

u The Wing Festival given by the cit
liens of Brunswick county, at Lawrenceville,
in honor of VIM. G.. Rives, was attended by
three thousand persons. The company was
addressed by Messrs. Rives, Pegram, Boul-
din, Marshall, Gallaher (of the Yeoman,) and
Shell. The Petersburg Intelligencer remarks
that the Brunswick committee in providing
for the intellectual entertainment of the COM
pany, did not overlook the "creature COM
forts" On the dinner table were served up
forty shoats, forty lambs, two beeves, four
hundred chickens, &c. &c.

SHOULD WoRKINGMEN EAT MEAT Mr..
Williams, Locofoco member Of Congress
from Bristol District, Massachusetts, in a
speech which he recently delivered in favor of
the incorporation of the Treasury Bank, low
wages and hard money, made the following
remarks in regard to the French laborers:
SIT is true, sir, that greater portion the
laborers of France, are deprived of the use of
ANIMAL FOOD; but does it follow that. as a
whole, they are the aoorse off! No, sir-so
far from it, have the authority of an English
statesman, who speaks from observation and
a critical examination Of the subject, that the
REVERSE is THE CASE"
If Senators Buchanan and 7'appan and Mr..
Williams can persuade the mechanics and la
borers that they would be better off by being
''dePrived of animal food,'' and fed on soup
maigre and garics, which would enable them
to work for the rich at a less price, then we
have mistaken the spirit and intelligence of
our countrymen.-PhihldeLphia STANDARD.

The grumbling Loco Focos point to the
Log Cabin and cry, "there is Wing argu-
ment." They are right. 1t is the best ar
gument in the world. This country never
saw another such. The hickory poles of An
drew Jackson were nothing to them. The
fire cross symbol of Scotland compared not
with it in significance.
When the Pilgrim Fathers of New Eng
land landed at Plymouth, in the holy name
of liberty, they erected log cabins. To the
same cause we erect them now, and to infuse
the same spirit by which they were animated.
When the gallant settlers of Virginia land
ed at jamestown they erected Log Cabins,
and from that day to this, Log Cabins have
been the chosen home of Liberty and Repub-
lican principles, and the habitations of the pi-
oneers OF the progressive West.
This is Log Cabin nation. Here liberty
was Graded in Log Cabins. Chivalry grew
up in them. Why should it not, when each
Log Cabin has been fortress, and each
chink between the logs loop hole for the
settlers rifle There was never an argu-
ment so powerful, so reasonable, so just
This country has been ruined by palace bred
politicians. Log Cabin statesman can set
herright. Such one is Gen. Harrison. He
has spent his life in and among them. He
is brave, wise and patriotic.

OWe have been asked for information in
regard to the precise character of Mr.. Van
Buren's vote in the Senate of the United
States to restrict the introduction of slaves
into Florida-which is one Of the popular OBJ
jections urged against him in the South, and
which shows what were his real sentiments
before it became his interest to dissemble.
In 1922, the bill for the establishment Of a
Territorial Government in Florida being be-
fore the Senate, the following proceedings
took place, as appears from the journal:
''The Senate resumed, as in committee Of
the whole, the consideration of the bill for the
establishment of Territorial Government in
Florida; and, the bill having been amended, it
was reported to the House accordingly; and,
son the question TO concur in the amend
ment to the l lth section, to strike out, after
the word Freedom in the 18th line thereof,
the residue of said section, as follows
mo slave or slaves shall, directly or indi-
rectly, be introduced into the said Territory,
except by citizen ofthe u. States removing
into the said Territory for actual settlement,
and being, at the time of such removal, bona
fde owner of such slave or slaves or any citi-
zen Of the U. States travelling into the said
Territory with any servant or servants, not
exceeding two; and every slave imported or
brought into the said Territory, contrary to
the provisions of this act, shall thereupon be
entitled to and receive his or her freedom

O-The Sentinel ofthe Valley being brought
to taw by correspondent for publishing that
Gen. Harrison voted to sell poor white men
for debt, instead of for fines and costs, after .ad-
hitting the mistake, labors to justify it by
attempting to show that it is ''a distinction
without difference" In ssall sincerity" it
asks s'what are fines and costs but debts ?"
WHAT'S there no difference, in the editors
opinion, between virtue and vice-between
crime and misfortune /? No difference be-
tween mere pecun;aTy obligation resting on
contract, and the penalty inflicted on the vio-
lator of the law ? No difference between the
man confined in Jail for debt, and the felon,
who is tenant of the same walls ? Heaven
save us from the prevalence of such morality.
But, to let our readers see that we do the Sem
tinel no injustice, we give its own words
'But, in all sincerity, we ask, what makes
it so exceptionable ? Is it the substitution of
the term debt for fines and costs? What are
fines and costs but debfs2 1t is true, they
are not debts due to individuals-but are they
not debts due the State, within the bounds of
which and under the operation of whose laws
they have been imposed2 And is an individ-
ual guilty of such monstrous improperly, in
making the substitution referred to, when
fines and costs, to make the least of them or
the most, are debts at last? We think this
is ''a distinction without difference" and it
seems to us, that the design of the Wings in
denying the charge, from the technical acording
Of the act Itself, that Gen. Harrison voted to
sell white men for debt-for debts due indi-
vidual creditors-is to make the'impression,
that Gen. Harrison did not uote for amy iaau to
sell aUhite men: when, in 'struth," they must
know, that he did vote to sell them for debts
due the State, for fines and COSTS"

~ The following letter from A. H. II.
STUART, Esq, who has been from home for
several weeks past, attending to professional
duties in the Court of Appeals, came to hand
just as our last paper was put to press:
LEwIsBuRG, AUGUST 3, 1910.
Mr.. HARPER Since l have been at this
place, have seen a republication in your
paper, of an article taken from the Lexington
Gazette, and communication to the Staun-
ton Spectator, and the resolutions Of the Tip
pecanoe Club of Mount Sidney, proposing
my name to the Wing party of our Congress
sional District, as suitable person to be sup
ported for Congress at the next election. 1t
can hardly be necessary for me to say that
this suggestion has been made without nv
privity or consent. But deem it due alike
to myself, and to the Wing party of the Dis
trict, to go farther, and say promptly and dis
tlnctly, that whilst feel grateful for the kind
feelings which have induced my friends to pre-
sent my name to the pubicin connection with
station of so much dignity and Importance,
l think it would be both inexpedient and pre-
ject of the Congressional election at this
time. We are now engaged in most ardu-
GUS and momentous contest, to wrest the gov
eminent from the hands of those whom we
believe to be incompetent and unfaithful a.
gents, and we ought to do nothing which
would be calculated, in the smallest degree,
to divert the public mind from the great is
sues before the people, by blending with them
questions of minor importance. In this great
contest, tie cause is every thing-men are
nothing. No individual should therefore suf-
fer any considerations of his private advance
ment, to interfere with the great interests of
the country which are involved in the cleo
ton of Gen'l. HARRISON. For myself, l
think l may say, l would be one of the last
to do SO. When the Presidential election is
settled, it will then be time enough to select
a candidate for Congress.
l will add, moreover, that when that period
arrives, private and sectional partialities
should be discarded, and full opportunity
should be afforded for ascertaining the views
of all parts of the District in reference to the
candidate to be selected, so that perfect union
and concert of action may be secured.
Very respectfully,
your friend and obi. servt.
