Last year they gave steenrod $50 votes.
This year, they promised Mr. Bier the
full strength of the Van Buren, vote, al

The steamboat Mail arrived last night
at half past IL, from Cincinnati bringing
us papers to the evening Of the 2sth.

parison of the votes with the year 1896,
aoe prefer that of 1889 for Congress, for,
there will have been very large vote
pooled in April Of the present year.

were in quandary. They had discharg-

they soon obtained relief by the adjourn

In five counties, since the Congression-
al election last year, it will appear that
the Van Buren, party have lost seven hun
dred and ninety five votes.
Cabell and Mason counties are stated to
have cast their votes in favor of the Har-
rison candidates. We are inclined to be-
lieve this to be amistake, particularly Ca
bell county, which, we, are informed has
resulted in favor of Van Buren,, by about
fifty majority less than last year.
Kenhawa County has carried the Har-
rison ticket by 200 majority. In 1899
it was l50.-Harrison gain. so.
In addition to the foregoing, the Balti-

perfect returns from Norfolk, Acomack,
and Fredericksburgh; which together
show a Harrison gain Of about 400"

thus briefly records the result.
Our election is over, and the returns

favorable to the Wing cause than any one
had dared to hope for. All the towns

closed procession of some 1000 or 25-
90 persons, headed by the Brass Band,
marched through all the principal streets
and made all ring again. 81
At the last election Rhode Island gave
her four votes to Mr. Van Buren,. These
are now knocked off from his column, as
were the eight from Connecticut last
week, making gain of twenty-four for
/ Harrison. 5Bf
Last August the wings Of Rhode Island
carried their congressional ticket by an
average majority of 376: the result now
shows neat gain of more than one thou

The carrion that may be found in the

columns of editorial, with the caption of
editors Diary, is too gross for the nav
of either a Buzzard or the most rapacious
Vulture. We consider the title misno-
mer. Instead of Editors, it should read
Blackguard.s Diary, being composed of
the most lying, vulgar negro slang, that
ever d!sgraced the columns of newspa-

on the decline in old Connecticut. 1t
adds the 1894 votes polled for Phelps,
the Conservative Candidate in 1893 to
the Wing column, and endeavors to make
out its case in this way. But this won't
do. Phelps has gone back to the Van

THE HARRISON COMMITTEE.

LIZ AAh1sNlSolN Wy NIL LIZ.
The Washington Globe tells long
and doleful story about Gen. Harrison's
being shut up in a cage, and none but his
keepers permitted to see him. 1t appears
by the following that the Globe, with all
its satellites. have been eggregiously
hoaxed. We believe the story is the first
April fool tale that has obtained counte-
nance the present season..
"The administration papers have been
making great noise about Gen. Harri-
sons being in the hands of committee,
&C.. and about his refusing to reply to
the "Oswego Association" 1t now turns
out that there is no such thing as an Os-
wego Association, and that Miles Hotch-
kiss, their Secretary, is keeper of a
GROCERY and nine-pin alley in that place.

VAN, buren, AND THE LAST War;
The editor of the Gazette pleads igno-
rance in regard to the factthat while Gen
eral Harrison was fighting, and while he
was achieving glorious victories for his
country. Martin Van Buren, was making
speeches against that war and opposing
Mr. Madison. History informs us and so
do Col. Il. M. Johnson, Ex-senator
Niles, Senator Hill, Mr. Richie, Editor
Of the Richmond Enquirer, and host of
others, that at the head of the Northwes-
tern Army Gen. Harrison did fight the
enemies of his country and that he did
achieve many important victories. His.
tory also states at the same time, tina,
Martin Van Buren, when the enemies of
his country were impressing our seamen,
robbing our merchantmen and insulting
our country's flag, offered in the town of
Hudson, New York, at public meeting
the following resolution
'0TTHAT THE WAR is IMPOLITIC
AND DISASTROUS; e. TO EMPLOY THE
MILITIA IN AN OF ENsIvE WAR Is UN-
CONSTITUTIONAL!
And tina, he enforced this resolution bv
speech in which he 0eTde,,ounced
Madison and the Democratic party in
the most violent manner--stigmatising
them as the eneissaries Of Fraace-ap-
pla1ded the purpose ofthe HARTFORD
CONVENTION, and praised England
as the F" bulscark Of oar religion"
We know that Hollands Life Of Van
Buren--the work which we presume the
editor of the Gazette consults--lloes not
afford this portion Of Van Buren's history.
Holland had a different object in view.
His work was written while the subject
of his Memoir was Candidate for the
Presidency, and it was his studious care
of course to make it appear that Van Blu
rem did not oppose the War, although he
acknowledges thathe did oppose Mr. Mad
ison. We cannot but think that the edi-
tor of the Gazette is ,0iJully ignorant OF
the above important matters.

favor of war, and the latter answering that
he did not now, nor never could believe
in its necessity, and that opinion was
founded on the fact that Great Britain
had nothing to justify her in the eyes Of
the world, if she placed herself in hos
tile attitude towards this country.
Mr.. Clay then rose and entranced the
Senate by his eloquence-the manly, Dig
nifed. and statesmanlike views which he
took on the question. He said if there
was any party ready to advocate war
before we had received the ultimatum
from Britain, that party was criminal
party. AS to the question of right, it was
with US, that was not to be denied. But
there were two modes by which the mat
ter was to be settled-the one was by ne.
gotiation, the other by war-the first was
with the executive branch, the latter with
the Legislative. Sympathising, as he did
with Maine. and patriotic and valorons
as he knew her to be, that he was not
disposed to con6ne this question solely to
her judgment. If Maine expected the
government to redress her wrongs, she
must leave the matterto the general gov
eminent, and not undertake to manage
the business herself.
With regard to. the Notifications about
which SO much had been said, he did
not regard ,hem-tbey had given him no
inquietude. England was the weaker
power-and we were now ten thousand
times better prepared for war tomorrow.
than when we had declared it before,
whether on ocean or on land. Look to
the means of transportation, the New
York canals, the countless rail roads, the
augmentation Of population pressing up
in dense masses on the British borders.
What had we to fear, with Is millions of
freemen, with brave hearts and stout arms?
The idea was preposterous Look at Eng
land, her threatened war with China, her
Ministers holding place by doubtful ten
ure, the revenue deficient for the ordinary
expenses, and what had we to fear?
He did not mention these things for the
purpose Of assailing, but for showing the
position in which England stood. The
