From the Charleston Is. CO. Patriot.


From the tone and temper of the ultra journals it
would appear as if the Boundary treaty stood very
little chance of confirmation by the Senate. The
New York Courier and Enquirer, one of the journals
the most high in the confidence of the Wings or ultra
section Of that party, leads off in this opposition, be-
tween which and other prints no less popular with
the ultra Democrats, there seems to be sudden and
unlocked for sympathy. The Courier and Inquirer
would inseparably blend in the negotiation the
Right of Search and the Creole with the Boun-
dairy question, and insists settling by treaty all
these points in dispute, or none. This would indeed
complcate negotiation already sufficiently intricate
without these adjuncts.
The whole purpose and motive OF the opposition
is factious 1t has its in the wish to deprive
the Administration of the credit of settlement of
the boundary question. The People will not tolerate
this factious d. sign We are very much deceived if
popular Indignation does not follow the authors and
abettors of it, should they succeed in defeating the
final arrangement Of dispute of upwards of fifty
years standing. 1t is the duty of the press to check
in advance, this unprncipled purpose of party-to
arouse the people to sense of the danger to the
peace Of the Union in keeping open this dangerous
question Of boundary.
Demagogues on both sides may make their appeals
to false sentiment of national honor, but there is no
point of honor involved. 1t is simply question Of
equivaents-of dollars and cents for territory. If
there has been point of honor involved, there has
been full concession on the part of England. She
offers to purchase, which is an implied admission Of
the right to the territory being in the State of Maine.
What more can the most fastidious delicacy-the
most scrupuous honor in public affairs demand We
trust therefore, that the signs given out by the press
on this subject, will not prove significant of public
sentiment but merely Of the insane desperation of
few factious spiritsthat the sound thinking portion
of both parties will rally to the support of the Admin
istration which, it is admitted, all hands, have add
minstered the foreign concerns OF the Union with
singular ability and just regard to the National no.

"TEN THOUSAND BAYNETS"
"What means this great commotion .otion

"What means this great commotion oton."
Mr., Bolts 1--WE wish he would change his name)
said it will be recoected that if he failed to impeach
John Tyler "ten thousand bayonets would CLEAN on
Pennsylvania Avenue" How he happened know
the exact number he does not state. Our private
opinion is that the number will come somewhat short
of that-but n'importe.
These threats of force are favorile humbugs of the
federalists. They have used them since the time
of Jefferson They capita. ly well to round
sentence, cap climax, but terminate in any
thing but 1oords.
Clay, in his time, has played this game of brag as
well as any political gambler in the land-and rather
better for he weep he talks of "bayones, and
tells of the prayers he has Offered to the evil and
signs over the fearful desines of his misrud coun-
try. But he always spoiled the effect when the Sem
ate adjourned, by washing away his in mint jul
eps, and playing another kind of brag-a kind that
many member feared more than he did the "gleam-
ing bayonets.
Who has forgot the threat to encamp thousands of
armed men at Capitol Hill to ntmidate Old Hickory
into federal measures2 Think of that? Why the
old man would have swept them from their encamr-
ment like rats.
Then there was the ten cent rebellion in Boston
and "elsewhere!" another sublime farce the
"gleamng bayonel' principle. How the Cradle of
Liberty was rocked by the fourpenny and tenpenny
speeches on that occasion Old John Adams laughed
in the canvass the speakers heads at their folly
and George Washington looked as though he was
ashamed of the company he was in. But the bubble
burst without damage to any body. little superhu-
Gus bile was let off, and that ened the matter. The
"gleaming bayonets" were restored to the gaIret.
Then again in 1910 We had the threats of Mr..
Crenden and others, that if they failed at the ballot
box, 'the cartridge box" should be used. As they
did mt fail there occasion to use it. But nop
they threaten because they did succeed John Tyler
must have his eyes dazzed with the aforesaid
Cleaning" We trust his heart don't quake. Let
him cover himself with his vetoes-they are bullet
proof

LATEST NORTH CAROLINA AND
MR. MANGUM!

There is strange news in town from North
Carolina, aud news which, it seems, Will not
be likely to please Mr.. Senator Mangum more
than it evidently does the editors of the Inte.li
gencer-ulias the suppressing paper. 1t APP
pears, that as far as heard from, the Democrats
have gained twelve or thirteen members, and
from partial returns from other quarters oil the
State, it is rendered nearly certain that the De-
mocrats will have large majority in both
branches of the State Legislature. We have
good reason to believe that this news was duly
received ON Sunday evening, at the office OF the
Intelligencer, yet that paper, with Its usual pro-
pensity to conceal evil, withheld from the pub
lie gaze information so disastrous to the pros
poets of Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Mangum. If we
mistake not both Senator Mangum and Senator
Graham fill places vacated by designations upon
instructions; and as instructions are pretty sure
to cone now to both these gentlemen, accord
iny to the acknowledged right and constant Gus
tom, both will be compelled TO resign. Alas,
alas, why was Mr. Bolts so tardy in his i'm
parchment. The honorable Willie can now
never be President Of the United States by i'm
occupation is gone.
One of the editors Of the Intelligencer has a
brother editing paper at Raleigh, the seat of
Government of North Carolina, yet the lntelli-
gencer gives not word of the news. 1t has
passed that over, as it passes over all the hard
hits against the majority Of Congress. AS the
reporter is unable to hear, in consequence of the
great confusion, so probably the editors OF the
Intelllgencer were unable to read their brothers
letter in consequence of the tears they shed on
perusing the first line, which, doubtless, con-
tanned the pth of the Who'll e matter.
1t would have been much more german to
the case, however, had the Integencer simply
contained the oft-repeated note OF their Con
gressional reporter, or something like this =
lowing to much confusion in our office, and
rather obfuscated vision, the news from North
Carolina never reached our compositors."

From The Salem .4dpertiser and Argus.
READ THE FOLLOWING.

Henry Clay his speech at Buffalo, in 1899, used
the following language
" If the Compromise be inpioiabiy maintained,
AZ as think It ought to be, Sd trust that the
rate of duty for which it provides in conjunction
with the stipulation for cash duties, home valuation,
and the long list of free articles inserted for the bene
fit of the manufacturing interest, will insure its
sonabe and adequate protection"
General Harrison, in his GAINESVILLE letter, thus
wrote $50
al am for supporting the Compromise act, and ,c'a
neper agree to its being altered"
The scenes are shifted now, and violation of the
Con,pron;se is made hobby of Clayism and Bankism.
President Tyler is denounced knave and traitor
for adherng to that compact-and the Democrats
are calumniated and abused on the same ground.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

The delegates which recently met at Coum-

sident Tyler's Administration. We will give
the proceedings in full in day or two. The
ultra Wings, wanting but one more move to be
check-mated, and hoping, should it be averted,
to avail themselves of stale mate, are trying
to throw ridicule on this Convention The

The result, as far as heard from, gives the
Democrats gain of IL members to the Leg'S-
lature and loss of one. Amongst the defeated
Wings is DR.. Hill, the gentleman who charged
the President with being for u s. Bank-his
defeat is in some degree owing to the talsity Of
this charge. 1t is likely the Legislature will be
Democratic.

Within the last twelve years, England has imported
for consumption seven hundred and fifty million BUSH

than half of which entered at duty of six cents
and under per bushel. In the year 1910, the last
for which our statistical tables made up, the u.

WINDLING.

Free banking, we believe, is allowed all over
the world, except in this Union, and within go
miles of London. This latter restriction, in and
about London, has been imposed within four
or FIVE years past The competition of private
banks begets honesty in their dealings, for, as in
all other trades, the honest bankers get the GUS
tom of the public in preference to the dishonest
ones. ''Honesty is the best policy" is a
maxim no less true in free banking than in other
occupations-not so with corporate banks, hav
ing exclusive privileges. They have no COM
petition to dread, and with them dishonesty is
the best policy. Besides, they can swindle
more successfully, because it is far more diff
cult for the People to ascertain the ability of a
corporation to pay its debts than that of a pri-
vate banker. A priori reasoning teaches US
that free banking promotes integrity in trade
Experience leaves no doubt of the proposition,
though free banking, we admit, to be liable to
much abuse. We were a more honest people
before we introduced our monopoly system of
banking than we have ever been since. We
are now the only People who have restraining
laws, and we certainly do our part in swindling
on the grand scale, and allttis saoimdling pro-
ceeds directly from our BANKING SYSTEM.

RETRENC HMENT AND NEW BOOKS

RETREN CHMENT AND NEW BOOKS.
A resolution remarkably conducive to the
cause of retrenchment, was passed yesterday in
the House. Itretrenches the amount ofmoney
in the treasury of the People, to increase the
peculium of some Congressional favorite to the
amount OF forty or fifty thousand dollars. The
members obtain finely printed and bound books
either to read or to sell-the seller pockets re-
spectacle profits, and the people are taxed for
the payment. Mr.. Messenger-retrenchmen
Summers, we understand, voted for the resolu-
ton. To use his favorite sentence, this is saw
ing at the spigot and letting out at the bung-
hole. That Mr. Summers is jealous for re-
trenchment, is, in the eloquent language of the
Ashland Orator, as clear as mud
