REVIVAL OF THE WING CA
ROUSALS OF 1910.

ROUSALS OF 1910.
The Wings have opened the campaigne
with the same disgracclul carousals,
hard cider drinking and drunken frolics
that were witnessed in the canvass Of
1910. The great Barbecue in Kentucky,
at which Mr.. Clay made his Virgin
Heifer Speech was the beginning ant,
signal Of the course to be pursued by the
Wings in the coming contest; and from
that day, preparations have been made
throughout the Union to revive the Log
Cabin and Cuonskin receptions under
which Whiggery has been wont to fight
the political battle.
The doggrcl rhymers Of our country
have been called upon to aid in carrying
on the deception -placards, circulars, and
!. advertisements are circulated in innu-
Emerablc quantities throughout the coun-
try, at the expense Of those who have re-
ceived the promise OF office-the Federal
stump orators have commenced their cir.
cuit--their fraudulent plans are commu-
nicated by the subaltcrns to each other
the'leaders are busy in planning and con-
trfving how to deceive-the spoils are
already being apportioned among the
faithful-.-the wire workers and political
managers have received their instruc.
tions-no measures, however unfair and
fraudulent, viii. be lost sight OF if necessa-
~ to success, and, when the day comes,
pipc-laying and frauds on the ballot boxes
will bring upthe rear Of their innumera
bic receptions.
Ohio has already responded to the
signal, and Indiana is ready to follow
in the train Of federal debauchery. Tie
Barbecue at Dayton has been preceded by
the whole catalogue Of fedora! devices, L
excite and attract the credulous. Mi
Clay, instead OF remaining in the shade.
: Of Ashland, has commenced his.politlca
n tour, and is travelling over the country
0 to receive the man-worship Of his fol
, lowers.
Whoever may be the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency, we have ne
. fears Of his success. The people have
. been taught lesson that they will no
e soon forget; they have seen the folly o
}, ncglec,ing to support for the highest Of
flee in their gift, one, whose principle
: we're openly and avowedly the same a
q those which they themselves advocate
Notu outstanding the deception, howey
d err, which was practiced upon the peop
in 1910, and to which their eyes hav
:. :, long since been opened, it will be neces
y sary for the Democrats to be on thei
l. guard against the future wiles and treach
4. cry Of Federalism. We hope every dem
i ocrat, throughout the length and breadt
Of, ar country, will prepare himself fa
the contest; that the principles Of De
mocracy will not be lost sight Of, but tina
n those principles will be the subject Of dis
c cussion on oil proper occasions. Ifthes
: things are properly attended to, we re
= reat, we are not afraid Of the result.
FAILURE OF THE AMERICAN FUl
re- COMPANY.
Or This great monopoly has at last Doe
compelled to wind up, as must all mono
err poles sooner or later. The liabilitie
ID are about 100000. The losses cf tn
Company arc said to be owing 10 ba
debts and depreciation in the prizes {
furs- The capital Of the company
r, 100000, large part Of which is owe
in St. Louis. John Jacob Astor, VIII
has generally been considered as havin
to very large interest in the company,
IS appears has but small one. Whateve
influence this failure may have else
c. where, it cannot but have 4 favorsbl
I'd one in the West and particularly in IL
oil wa. Heretofore this Company ha
in nonopolised the whole Indian trade, an
almost every dollar paid by the Govern
a ment to the Indians for their lands, ha
in been given to the agents Of this compan
is and sent out Of the Territory; while.
y. our citizens had more generally been pei
IL mitted to share this trade, the same NOR
a. ey would have becn scattered among u.
m Rat we are and have been opposed /
,r this Company for other and more potter
r reasons; the first and greatest Of which i.
!. that we are opposed 70 monopoiies i
,e whatever form, shape, or complexio
T. they present themselves, we care not 70
J. what beneficial purpose they may
d created, the wrong and injury sustained
IT in some quarter or other, will more thai
I, overballance all the benefits to be DE-
e rived. Again, it is notorious fact, this
e this Company has had an almost unlim
9, ted control over the different tribes Of Ii
4! dams throughout the West. II has Dc
}. pended almost entirely upon their viii
% whether treaty could be made or not;
" whether their interest was 10 be benefi
10 ted or injured Sin substance whether q
II not they had directed it. Like til
j. Northwestern fur Company in Oregon

O. land.
