In bulk at least one-third, so that three beds
equally large may be made out of the feathers

pleasant odour that attaches to new feathers is
entirely corrected without injuring them in
the slightest degree.

SENATOR PRESTON.

This gentleman has been violently assail-
ed for an imputed declaration, in his speech
at Richmond, that, unless Van Buren, be de-
feated, there will be a Revolution Now,
we We're satisfied from the frs: that Mr.. Pres
ton used no such foolish language. A wri..
ter in the Wing declares that he did not
What he did say was, ''that the wickedness
and misrule of the men in power would justi-
fly resort to arms, if our political institutions
did not fortunately supply u corrective in the
ballot-box." The same writer declares that
a Democratic member of Congress recently
asserted in Richmond, that, unless Van Blu
rem be reelected, dissolution of the Union
will be inevitable. Really, little Van is
much more important man than we had sup
posed.--Mr. Calhoun, in late letter to MIR.
Daley, of New York, declares that if the
Government take "A course other than that for
which he contends, sit will be beyond human
power to restore it, short Of Reroi,stioni' %
And even Amos Kendall urges his friends to
go to the polls, ''to avert the possible necessity
ef marching hereafter in battle array, to put
down usurpation." Surely Senator Preston
has as much right TO talk about Revolutions
and battles as John G. Calhoun and Amos
Kendall II Lynchbug Virginian.

THE Credit Systematic. Pettigrue offs. c.,
in recent letter, thus speaks of the Credit
System
The truth is-our credit system is nothing
OF theory or speculation. 1t has not only
stood the test OF experience, but rendered the
country great and powerful. 1t is identified
with our prosperity; and il subject to occa-
sional abuse, is not for that reason, to be re-
jected, any more than our liberties themselves
are to be given up, because they sometimes
run into excess. But the men in power, UNI
fortunately for their future fame, as well as
their present prospects, are the very same who
on recent occasion perpetrated the greatest
abuse ofthe credit system. 1t was by stimula-
zing the State Banks to enlarge their accommo-
dations after the removal ofthe deposites, that
the administration, of which the present in
cumbents are in every sense the successors,
laid the foundation for immoderate issues of
paper, and all the excuses that are now char
ged upon the system itself.

~ A friend has put into our hands two
Enquirers, of April 1915, in which we find
the following hard slaps by Mr.. Richie at
John Randolph. 1t is not little curious
that this was about the time Mr.. Richie u
sed to cali Gen. Harrison SHE Democratic
General and say many other fine things a.
bout hm-and is 1t not quite as curious, that
he should be seeking, now, by the testimony
of the same John Randolph, to prove his old
democratic General" Federalist? Out
upon such inconsistency
From the RichmOnd Enquirer, .RprH 5, 1915.
The time was, when MIR. Randolph com
mand I'd the confidence of the world-the wri-
ter OF these hasty notes was the first to bow
to the supposition of his superior virtues.
But that time has passed away. The intern
perance and virulence of his passions have
wrought his ruin. Those principles, which
were once his pride when he was republic
can, have long since departed-and he who
was the first to praise, remains only to curse.
Why does he talk OF persecution, who never
respected the feelings fan opponent! When
a man like Thomas Jefferson, whom he was
won't to admire and TO shield from attack.
wien such man ''whose history will be read
in nations eyes," becomes the butt of his
satire, and the object of his resentment. bv
what right does he complain of the censures
OF others From my soul | believe him to
be changed-and from my soul wish him
to be disappointed.
We hear from Cumberland, that on CLOSING
the polls, on Monday last, Mr.. Eppes had 2O7
votes, Mr.. Randolph 1S9-Mr. Il. thus has
majority of 10 only in Cumberland, while in
1919 he had 50. Thus has Mr.. r. majority
OF 62 in the whole district. Tories, rejoice -!
FRIENDS OF Great Britain, 90. Joy with him,
For he who has turned deaf car to the
rights and honor of his own country, is again
an! The apathy or want of thought Of his
constituents, permits him once more to stain
the floor OF Congress! The Snarler is again
IN but one consolation is, that his teeth are
drawn.-Federaists too rejoice because so
incorporate are their feelings that they would
employ Randolph, nay the very Devil him
sell TO suit their purposes"-IfMr. r. thinks
VIVID MT. Garnett lin his late circular letter
Mt; H. is opposed TO Navy-to any respec-
table means obedience against the aggressions
OF an unhinged world Yet what do the
fcueralists care for this, so that they can but
enlist another snarler in tSer ranks! Is this
tne love OF country or is it the blind rage of
