in giving his letter 10 our readers.
LIVINGSTON COUNTY, July LIST, 1910.
Dear Sir recognize it the duty of every
true friend of his Country, at this important crisis
to communicate freely with his friends, and give
lar statement of the prospects of the true Demo-
cratic Wing cause, throughout the State.
In no section of the State has the Wings ac-
quired strength, faster than in the Grand River
Country.-lt is now but few months since their
numbers did not appear to be more than to four
or live OF the Patent DemOcracy--In fact, when
Reynolds first addressed the citizens of this county
the Locos appeared to be in perfect e:staces, and
were determined to carry every thing by Storm
BHLytng Dragging and betting were all their areu.
mentS; but now the tables changed and they are
willing to put up with small favors and be content
with bare majority. Pensioned emmisaries have
been sent amongst us from the lower counties, Zone
OF Gov. Boggs' petS as understand he holds office
under him) to stay the tide of public opinion which
Is SO fast turning against the poor ofice-holders
candidate, (Vun BUREN, for the Presidency. If
these Immaculate sprouts Of Democracy, whose pa
trlotsm goes no further than the .ove of money or
once propel them, expect to gain any thing for
their sinking cause by coming amongst the Log
CABINS, OF the new counties, and riding I'D the
creeks they are greatly mistaken, Their base SLAM
der OF Zen Harrison, often merits prompt denial
from some of the old pioneers who served under
him in the battles of Tippecanoe, Fort Megs aud
the Ihamcs.l am happy TO state that nearly all Of
zen Harrlson's old soldiers now his "a stest
friends though heretofore warm supporters of Gen.
Jackson. These facts know from personal obser-
vation in fact if these hired libeers, had but the
brain of pumpkin, they would cease their vile
SANDER, and betake themselves to some more hon.
orabIe mode of discussion, for they are disgusting
The more honest and rejecting supporters Of Van
Buren, and they are turning over to the support of
Gen. Harrison, the real republican candidate, by
scores; you may rest assured that this county and
drundy (the attached parD will give Gen Clark an
equal vote with Reynolds, if not a majority. tell
you that do not know single Wing in all the
Grand River country, who has gone over to the
FEDERAL LEADERS, but on the contrary, ] could if
necessary, give the names Of more than fifty, who
nave LETT the ranks Of the spoilers and enrolled
themselves on the side of their Country, the Laws,
and the Constitution. Do not even despair Of carry
ing Missouri for the People, !candidate One more
oold' energetic, and well directed charge on the
lines OF the enemy, will enroll Missouri a.
mI1!ongst one of the Wing States Of the Union.
Why, the Locos have almost dispaired Of electing
their Tool, and begin to affect great disgust al
The People, for their going en- masse for sold Tip"

Showing the contrast between Martin Van Buren,
Federalism as portrayed in his project for
STANDING Army, and the Rcpubicansm Of Gen
HARRISON set forth in his Reports in regard
to the instruction aud classification Of the M
militia OF the u. States.
The flame Of popular indignation which, burst
forth from all classes Of thinking aud Independent
citizens, in regard to Mr. Van Burcn's scheme for
Standing Army, has frightened the pcnsioned par,
ti1ans of his apostacy to such degree that they
have resored 10 the most shallow aud vain subter-
fnge and the most desperate pevarcation, in order
10 screen him from that responsibility which j.
thrown upon his shoulders by his owa acis cad his
own words With characteristic efrontery, they
have attempted in the first place to show that Mr.,
Van Buren, has never at any time sanctioned or re,
commended the Standing Army Bill as urged and
reported by the Secretary Of War, Mr.. Poinsett,
and failing in this, they secondly, cyndo the issue
and assert that if he did thus sanction and recon.
mend, Gen Harrison has long ago sanctioned and
recommended the same measure IN the Missouri

from Gen Harrison's Militia Reports, by which il
is sought to prove that Van Bnren's and Iarrson's
propositions in regard 10 the Militia, are one and
the same, Blu, this fair and impartial editor Of
the Register, knowing his total inability to sustain
such gross assumption, takes especial care 10 Keep
out Of his columns Mr. Van BureR'S Bin (!) and
contents himself, and wishes to content his readers,
with the unsupportablc assertion, that "Gen VIM.
II. Harrison, as Chairman OF the Committee OF
Military Affairs in the Congress Of the U. s., did,
on the l7,h day Of January, 1917, recommend SUD
sianiiaRy the SAME measure" Now, If there be
nothing wrong in this proposition Of Mr.. Van Bit
ren's if it does not contain principles and prov-
sions repugnant to the civil institutions OF this
country, why all this care and caution on the part
Of the Presidents friends, TO keep it out of the
reach Of the reading community! IL it be this
great democratic measure, ard contains those eyi-
dences OF republicanism which is claimed for it,
why not publish it at once and advocate its adop.
ton 4! If Gen. Harrison has ever recommended
-" q measure substantially the same," why not pub
lish his Recommendation along wih and by the sid
Of Mr. Van Burens in order that this community
may see for themselves that your positions are sup
ported by the facts Of the case All! the answers
to these questions are visible to the eyes of every
man, who has the talent to know and the candor Il
acknowledge what are in ed and in fact, thu
principles and practices Of those who ms-admlnis
ter this government. Gen. Harrison's Reports ant
Mr. Van Burcn's Bill are now before me, and | pro
pose to prous from the BIZ and Reports themselves
that their principles and provisions are NOT " sub
stantally the same" as has been assumed.
What then does Mr.. Van Buren, and what doe
from Mr.. Van Burens proposition its principle fea
lures, and then lay down, in immediate jnxta-pos
ton, the prominent points in that Of Gen. Harri
SON

attend TO the gymnaSic aud elementary part of
education in every school in the United States
whilst the moro scientific part of the art Of war
shall be communicated by professors mot BY Presa
dents y Of tactics, to be established mot ia the whfe
house a! Washington y but in all the higher semi
naries"
1t has been said that whilst Mr. Van Buren, pro.
poses TO pay both officers and privatcs Gen Har RI
son provides only Tor the payment of the officers
tIhis bubble, emanuting from the source II does
comes with a peculiar i'll graceD The plain and
evident reason why Gen. H. made mo estimates"
for the payment of the privates, is, that he does
not require them, under The penalty of line and i'm
prisonment, to be forced from home 80 assemble
at any time and place" and to perform such active
service as the President may think proper to de-
signate,' whereas upon the other hand the officers
are required to undergo rigid system of training.
! Here, then, exhibited the two propositions,
and will any man in his senses, after acquainting
himself with their principles assert that they
substantially the same" that Gen. Harrson's " is
precisely the similar in all essential particulars" to
the monstrous and thoroughly federal recommended
ton of Mr. Van Buren,
To argue the dangerous and ant-republican cha
racter of Mr. Van Buren's measure is unnecessary.
Its granting the President the power to call forth
and assemble the militia at any place within the
district, and to be governed whilst there-not by
the laws prescribed by Congress but "by such re-
regulations as The President mag deem necessary
and the great inconvenience and expense to which
it subjects the citizen, will certainly render it OBJ.
noxious to every republican in the land
Since it has been denied that Mr.. Van Buren, has
ever sanctioned and recommended the adoption Of
this tyrannical project, l will quite from his last
annual message, his remarks in regard to it, and lei
the country judge whether its adoption could be
more "strongly" urged The present condition
Of the defences of our principal seaports and navy
yards, as represented by the accompanying report
Of the Secretary of War, calls for the early and
serious attention of Congress; and, as connecting
itself intimately with the subject, | CANNOT RE.
COMMEND TOO STRONGLY 10 YOUR CONSIDERATION
THE PLAN submitted BY tina! officer for the organi
cation of the militia of the United States"

There are thirteen thousand Post Masters in the
United States. How many Of them dare to refuse
subscription Of fire dollars, for five Extra Globes!
At least my thousand copies, it is sad will be
circulated through this channel. Then, there are
all the dependents and hangers on of the whole de
partment, from one extent Of the country TO the
other, with such man a. the head Of the Post Of
flee Department as Niles, 10 do the bidding of Ken
dali aud Blair.
Connected with this movement there is another,
not less important, in the estimation Of the loco
foco cabal and it should be promulgated to the peo
ple.-The census is to be taken. The selection Of
persons to perform that duty, especially in the in
terror, is to be made with due regard to their quail
fcations as presidential electioneers, Generally,
they will be selected from among the most reckless;
and frequently FROM the most worthless. Men re-
gardless Of the truth and indifferent as TO what
representation they make, will be deemed best
qualified for their vocation. A leading loco foco
was boas.ing yesterday, that through this channel
every house keeper in the United States would be
supplied with one or more numbers Of the Extra
Globe.
Now these Statements are made, and these
views are taken, not because apprehend any great
injury to the Wing cause through such means
but because think the Wing party should UNDER
stand the desperate and corrupt policy which their
opponents are determined to pursue, These meas
ures are adopted under very mistaken notion OF
the real character of our countrymen. They pro-
ceeS upon the supppsition that our yeomanry may
not only be approached, but influenced by petty
hireling, invested with little pr,s! authority.
1t will be a failure. In most instances it vii!
react. The people, however, should be warned Of
this conspiracy, alike insulting to their under.
standing, and degrading TO their native indoPenG
enee.
