New ORLEANS, July H. 1912.
To the Editor of the VI ,disonion:
DEAR SIR: There can be doubt of the fact
that louisiana has recorded her vote against Clay,
tyranny, and misrule She has spoken in voice. of
thunder, too, that will carry dismay and terror into
the ranks of his gang in Congress Louisiana ha de-
serted Henry Clay How incredible it seems, and at
the most critical juncture in his lle-when all his
hopes and his prospects for the Presidency depended
upon this State Why, sir even Kentucky will next
forswear her allegiance to him. and he will be left
without single State in the Union. What solemn
mockery it is to be nominating this for the high
est office in the si of free people, when they have
already condemned him to the obscurity Of the pri-
vate shades of Ashland His the Constitu-
ton and Mr.. Tyler would make admirable ground
work for an epic poem-somethng similar to Paradise
Lost. His fate will be quite memorable in the an
mails of the history of country the hero of that
immortal poem in sacred history. But am digress-
ing from my original intention, which was simply to
announce you the glorious result of our elections
doubt not that it will have beneficial effect
country. People here already breathe freer in anti
| cipati of change of policy and rulers. As a
staunch friend Of my country, and supporter of the
Administration of the honest and fearless John T cr
confess myself highly gratified at the result What
if the Democratic party are the vicors | believe
the of that party to be honest and look upon
our worthy Chief Magistrate of the best Dem
ocrats that lived. What is to hinder that party
| from giving his Administration a cordial and honest
support, while he administers the Government &C
cording to Democratic principles What honest
will say that he has not done so' Politic for
selfish purposes, may uood-wink the People for a
time but the scales of party deuson fall from
their eyes, and on't under what banner Of po-
litical faith they have been marching, they will come
to the support of much abused and prosecuted
President.
The ultras of both parties, that divide the country,
will, no doubt, stand aoof, but don't wan, them
Thank heaven, they compose but an of the Peo-
pie, and their power to do mischief is nearly at an
end 1t is pleasing, ev ry day, to witness break
ing the chains of party spirit and discipline and
pressing tue seAti.nelts OF the honest Judgment
assure you, sir, the tone of public sentiment be-
coming and more, every day, IN favor of the Ad
ministrstion Tue Presidents last veto is source of
congratulaton with every body--cf course excepting
the Clay politicians. Arriving, it did, smultane-
ously with the of their defeat in the State their
rage knew no bounds. They fairly CRASHED their
teeth and ioamed at the mouth with fury. In con-
clusion the friends of the Adninslrati n are in high
spirits we have abiding confidence in the virtue
and integrity of our Chief Magistrate, and we look
forward, with confidence, to his complete triumph
over the enemies of our Republic.
Yours, sc.

The Petersburg Statesman, abiding to Bolts last
attempt says: g An lrishman once, while spearing
trout with scythe handle, cut his own head OIL. +"
We don't see how he did il with handle, but any
thing will do for Botts.-.Nadisonian.
We said that the Irishman was " speariDg trout
with a scythe handle"-but did not say that the
lrishman 90 cut his head OFF, with the handle
That would have been rather too Hibernian. II the
editor of the Madisonan had ever read that charm
ing book T" Sir Jonah Barrington's Sketches" he
would have understood the story. We will expound
it. The lrishman, in aiming at the trout with the
handle of the scythe in the eagerness of he moment
careessy put the blade of the scythe directly over his
own neck-the consequence was, that in striking at
the fish with the handle, he cut his own head OIL with
the blade Eniende- rous Observation-Disclosures
We understand you. We have read Sir Jonah
Darlington but we thought the story, as told IN
the Statesman, a corrected edition. The whole
plot devisedby Bolts being excessively "Hibern-
an" we presumed that the Dry was new-vamped,
that the illustration might be in perfect keeping
with the thing illustrated.

Ever since the last Veto the cry Of the Clay
w igs has been, that John Tyler sets hinisd
ip IN opposition to the Peoples Representa-
yves" that she has lhwarled the will of the
couAfryj" that .'one man has bad the ctifonterl
20 oppose the universally expressed desire OF
the a1hoie natioa,n &c. Such is the Jargon o.
Mr. Cay's Charles aud Mr. Clay's presses
while Mr. Clay himself would rather lose hi>
right hand than TO see any good Tariff bill
signed this session.
But lei us look these presses and Charles full
in the face The presses that ring the loudesl
are those in the large cities Do they express
''the will of the Peopie?n Let Us see Some
two hundred and fifty wealthy merchants, by
subscriptions and advertisements, contribute one
hundred dollars each TO the support of Clay
Wing paper This is S25,0 900. Three or four
banks contribute 81 900 each, and some $4,000
or $4,000 are obtained from casual sub cribers
aud advertisers. Thus between $4,000 and
$4,000 are raised, and a large daily Clay Wing
paper is sustained. Does such journal reflect
the sentiments of the People? Is the dictum Of
two or three hundred arstocrats TO be taken for
the ''wll Of the Peopie?" Are the interests
of these overgrown merchants and bank Off
GERS identified with those of the farmers and
mechanics And yet the poorest laborer has
as much right to dictate, by his vote and his
voice, as the aristocrat! Aud they will never
submit TO be dictated to- Mr.. Clay has chosen
the fen with their rlches-give us the many
g, co.
the city arislocrats and their Bank presses.
Now for ''the Peoples Representatives"
Who are they? We have indubitable evidence
that siriy tpo of the present Wing members
misrepre sent their districts, and would be de-
fealed tomorrow by overwhelming majorites
And yet, with sirty tuo Wing members ac,iug
contrary 10, and in defiance of, the wishes o
their constituents, the Tariff-dslribution bill
squeezed through the House by meagre
majority OF tour. Now who will bell We the
calerwauings OF these Wing members and
their presses against the President for not sane
tioning their mad, ruinous measures
In the the Senate, we see the same thing. A
large portion of the Wing Senators are al thi,
moment representing Democratic States. 1t can
not be said that any of the following gentlemen
are, at present, the choice of the Legislatures
of their respective States Messrs. Conrad,
Barrow, Ev ms, Phelps, Tallmadge, Archer,
Berrien, and we might name several others.
And the Wing members and their presses
keep up the unvarying cry, that because the
President will not cooperate with them in fix
ing upon the country their mongrel hermaphro
dite meas res, he ARRAYS himself in direct OPP
position 10 the expressed will of the People :"
We venture to assert, that the President is act
ing in exact conformity to the will Of three
fffhs Of the People. Worse than vain are the
efforts of our enemies to intimidate the Presi-
dent with these false cries of the twill of the
People," He has as accurate a knowledge of
their will as any body else, and will obey it.

DEAR BENNETT
You have undoubtedly seen by the papers that
Hon. John Nj. Niles, Esq., has been chosen T. :
Senator for six years from the lth Of March next
This choice has given TO the democratic party uni
versa satisfaction and even the pipe-layers can find
but little fault in the man, as he is, without excep-
tion the able person that could have been Sc
lectod His organ Of language is rather small but
that deficiency is easily made up with his pen.
AT the adjourned meeting for the election ci
sheriff, Mr. Adams, the wing candidate, elected
by majority of l59 This is owing entirely to the
apathy OF the locofocos in this town, whose vote
was several hundred less than at the State election
but as Mr.. A. is half locofoco, he will without
doubt please both parties.
The excitement created by Messrs. lie Bonnie
VILE and Houghton on Animal Magnetism has
died away although they had many believers in
that science while here, doubt very much whether
they could obtain an audience they visit this
city again. Ii Is pretty well ascerained that De
Bonneville is an extraordinary ventroquist, and
That he answers all the enquiries put TO his subject
This Is certainly rational conclusion. Can you
tell me how he succeeds IN New York
Morriss Ohio Company has Just arrived and
ariuses the citizens every evening His audience
numbers on an average al least 1000, which at
smiling each brings HIM in Ssl25, of this sum he
clears about $50.

he attempts dong anything of the kind, the young
men are pledged TO ride the Deacon down 10
New Haven on arail
The President Of the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, will resign his office in the present month
and H. Goodwin, second, appointed in his place
The only objection raised against the present officer
Is, that he has been too heavy customer himself
In fact, he has controlled the funds entirely for the
past two years in order to support his branches in
New York and other places. But am DEPRESSING.

DEAR Sra
have just returned from Washington Hollow,
where there was great mass meeting, relative to
the Tariff, which was well attended by the whig
farmers, the principal movers in the affair being
Clay men. The speakers were Mr.. Secor from
Washington city--an editor, it is said, of newspa-
per. He made speech of two hours and half
long, which gave much dissatisfaction on accoun,
of his abuse of Mr. Tyler, and his landing and re.
commencing Henry Clay for the Presidency. VIVA,
would you think of his calling Mr. Tyler all man
ner Of names! And among other things, said he
Mr.. T., was as fit for President as a monkey was to
manage gin shop. Horace Greedy followed in
duh, undressing speech This closed the meet
ing, and if the wings Of cid Dnichcas mean to carry
Clay, they must find better speakers than Secor and
Greedy. The farmers Were sick OF their twaddc.
