South, he Is presented to US, as the opponent oil

purchaser and prisoner would be that of MASTER

called upon time after time by the people, whose

FROM WASHINGTON.

Ho. Rep, Washington City, May 20, 1910.
Sir: We took up the Sub Treasury bill this day,
ID Committee the Whole. Mr.. Gushing has the
floor tomorrow. The Federal Bank party have
done every thing in their power to stave off this sub
ject, and have fought like madmen against taking
up the bill, even at this late period. We have the
power to pass it, by some Is or 20 votes, if there
should be no backing out, and we have no indica-
tion of it at present. The discussion will be long
and heated one; but we have nothing TO fear, on
our part, from the discussion we have the talent
and the men to sustain our cause; we have TIL
umphed over the Opposition in every contest we
have had with them. Our friends are in fine spir-
it's but the "Whigs" are the reverse they bawled
out the name of Harrison loud and often, some
weeks ago-now they seldom mention his name :;

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have still many articles on hand for publica-
tion, which are necessarily delayed. We would
respectfully suggest to our friends the propriety of
making the proceedings public meetings as short
as may be consistent with the object in view. We
have great deal of political matter which we are
deslrous of laying before the people, soon as
possible, and our columns very much crowded
We feel 1t our duty, however, to publish the pro-
ceedings of meetings, in the shape presented to u.s.
when requested to do so. This hint is given with
a view to the general welfare.''

uHAR3 CfDER AND LOG CABIN"

If the Democratic party had set up claims for
their candidates. on account of their living in log
cabins and drinking hard cider, the FederalIsts
would have cried out, "agraranlsm," "enVlous
Jewelers." 'vulgar democrats" with such other stuff
as might suit their spleen or show their contempt
for the people, 1t is fact that goodlY portion OF
the Democrats of our State do live in very COM
Portable log cabins, a Circumstance that by no
means diminishes their independence OF feeling or
derogates from their purity of character. But when
it is pretended that Harrison, who lives IN spien-
Gid mansion and in costly style, is to be found IN
log cabin drinking hard cider, the humbug is too
absurd the Joke too broad for any caricature; and
when it Is supposed that the honest inmates of
these log cabins can be cajoled and fooled by such
pretences we see human folly in its widest eccen-
tricities.
Our honest, industrious, sober citizens of North
Carolina have but faint idea of the vagaries oft
Federal Whiggery in this matter, and the "fantas-
tic tricks" they play in various parts of the Union
The New Haven Register gives description,
that will enlighten on the subject. At place
called Bridgeport, in Connecticut, the Federalsts
did enact their "decency' and 'talents'' and 'mo-
raj and religious" scenes in very "high snuff" as
one may say. 1t was on the occasion of raising a
'4og cabin" that scenes laughable, tumultuous and
painful occurred. The narrator says: "It was laugh
able to see those who called themselves men, rid
ing about in carriages which carried large barrels
labelled 'hard CIDER and some who had slung by
their sides small kegs labelled 'hard CIDER The
scenes tumultuous account of the yelling
and huzzaing of many at the top of their voices,
the manner of which too plainly showed that the
Oawlers had literally partaken of the contents of
the kegs, and were pretty decentIy hard cidered.-
And it was indeed painful to so many, old and
>young-middle aged, and of every other age, reel
ing and staggering under the effect of-not wafer.
Many mother's-maDy wife's, and many
sisters heart must have been panied that night, at

and more intemPerance were INDUCED in, accord
ing to the number collected, than is often witness
sed in our land of steady habits" But these "mor

The Federal Whiggerv have number of such
'decency" parades in perspective. The fourth of
July, and the anniversaries of all Tip's" skrmlsh
are to be celebrated in the same style, and all
conducted, managed, and enjoyed, doubt, by
"gentlemen who know each other by instinct"
