MAGISTRATE.
Below, we give letter from the President,
which will be read with deep interest by the
whole American People. 1t defines most expli-
city the doctrines entertained by its fearless au-
thor-fearless, because no man but one of iron
nerve could withstand the existing intrigues of
evl-designing politicians Like the sturdy ma
riner, he has fixed his eye upon the guiding-star
OF Jeffersonian Republicanism, and neither men
nor demons will ever succeed in divertng him
from his course:

GENTLEMEN should sooner have acknowledged
the receipt Of your letter of the 18th nst covering
certain resolutions adopted by large number of my
feIow-citzens, assembled in the Park, on the l4th
inst, but for the severe and constant pressure upon
of important public duties | will not hesitate to
express the pleasure experienced at the decided
tone of appreciation manifested by my felow-ctzens
in their several resolutions Next to the conscious
ness Oh having uOHc lily uuly tue approval Ol my COLI
stituents the people of the United States would I'M
doubleday afford me the highest satisfaction. for the
maintenance of those Republican principles which
have advanced from my earliest manhood | am des-
tined to be in future, for all the time have been
in the discharge of the duties of the Presidential
office has been the case-the object of vtuperation
and gross abuse, must even bear it with all the for
ttude and composure | call to my aid. | en-
counter but the fate which the who was called
the great high priest of Republicansm encountered
in 1899 and 1900 The disciple has to antici
pate different milder fate than that encounteredby
his instructor. shall follow in the footsteps of that il
lustrious man, and act upon his principles believing,
as said by my immediate predecessor in his
office, in his celebrated Dayton speech, that if the
Augean stable is to be cleansed, it only be done
by recurring to the principles of Thomas Jefferson
To the support of those principles my life has here
tofore been devoted and it shall continue to be to the
end
tender to you, gentlemen, assurances of my high
respect.

Mr.. Wse's reply in behaIfof Captain Chopper.
HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES,
August 3d. 1912.
Sir Captain Thomas b. Chopper, now of the
packet-ship New York, formerly of the packet-shiP
Columbus" between the cities of New York and
Liverpool has sailed for the latter port, and has left
to the proud task of accepting, in behalf of him
selfand his crew the medal "bearing the portrait of
the Queen" which Her Majesty's Government has
so munifcently rendered to him for saving the crew
OF the Leonidas."
Be pleased, sir, to present to MIR. Fox, Captain
Choppers most profound Acknowledgements to the
British Government, and to her most gracious MaJes-
ty, Queen Victoria. Please say that his direction to
me is to deposit this precious medal with the blessed
mother from whom he sucked the milk Of human
kindness, and whose precepts made him the hero of
benevolence he is to be preserved long the me-
DIAL itself shall last not much as reward for his
past gallantry in goodness-for his best reward for
that has been Heavens own gift of sef-satislying
conscousness-as stimulus to his future exertions
and sacrifices for the benefit of all men, and especial
ly Englishmen next to his own countrymen, in mis-
fortune, danger, or distress.
Such rewards of such deeds most truly tend to
"peace on earth,' and to bind nations in one COM
mon bond of brotherhood, and hearty auxiliares
of glorious treaties like that full Of "gad tidings
to two happy people, which you, sir and noble Bri
fish Minister have lately had the eternal honor of
concluding between two of the mightest nations on
the globe, mother and daughter, whose seamen, |
pray, will forever hereafter meet saue, and
destroy, each other upon the high seas.
In behalf of Captain Chopper and his gallant
have the honor to be-, sir,
Your obedient servant

forced them back not broken them. The Feds are
glad TO Gn any way, and the Democrats stand to-day
better than they did before. They have had one

effectually.
The Democracy of the county deserve great credit
