THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ANNIVERSARIES.

The efforts which the leaders of the Wing party
are making to secure the election Of Mr. Clay to the
Presidency admonish the people tobestir themselves,
and by united movements to render nugatory all the
schemes which those leaders are engaged in
connecting We hold it to be the duty of all to
whatever party they may have been heretofore at
tached to oppose the election of Mr.. Clay to the
Presidency and that of his friends to the councils of
our State for it is impossible not to recognize in
him, the author # that wild system of internal inn
provements which has cursed many of the States
with grievous taxation, and which now threatens
them with bankruptcy and dshonor. He it was who
first gave an impulse to the system by seeking to
gage the National Government in the schemes of
spectators and monopolists. In his celebrated
speech on the Cumberland Road BILL in 1924, he
openly advocated the most extravagant aid on the
part of the nation to such enterprises and sought by
all the power of his eloquence to enlist the nation
well as the States in their suppart. Happily for the
honor of the nation, so lar as Government was con-
cerned his appeals were in vain, but not so with all
the States. What the nation fearful of under
taking his parsans and blind followers (parcu arly
in Maryland) succeeded in inducing the States
separately to engage; and now behold the result
debt taraion, and dishonor! A glorious consumma-
ton indeed
He has furnished no evidence to the people that
he has forsaken any of the doctrines which he so
emphaticay enforced in his speech of 1924; and
this being the case ask the people of the Union,
but more particularly those of Maryland, whether
they prepared to perpetuate system of mea-
sures which has already oppressed them with taxa
ton and threatens them with utter ruin, by the sup
port Of those who originated and still cling to it p
Surely the people of Maryland have had experience
enough of the workings Of this system TO be able to
pronounce upon its merits. We should suppose
there was no longer any necessity for speculation
upon the subject Nth hen--the tax-gatherer we
would suppose had already solved all their doubts.
We shall have much 10 say upon this subject; and
we hope to be able to show, that the people owe it
no less to the honor and character of themselves to
oppose the continuance Of the will of those who have
50 shamefully mismanaged their affairs, as to load
them with debt and taxation and to render doubtful
whether old Maryland is to be dsgracet and declared
a bankrupt!

THE VETO.
SsML. MEpARY, Esq.

From a hasty perusal of this document, are led
the conclusion whatever partisan papers may say to
the contrary, that it is statesman like production
one which does honor TO the head and heart of its
thor and completely exonerales him from the hume
rnus charges OF his political opponents-such as hal
lucination, monomania, feckle-mindedness, &c &c.
1t shows that its author possesses clear head, a
sound Judgment and withal a fiimness, Independence
and integrity of character seldom equaed. We shall
give it a more extended notice hereafter and in the
mean time commend it to the careful and candid con-
slderaton of our readers.

HOUSE Of REPS, August 9, 1912
DEAR R:-The President has this moment re-
turned to the House the "big tariff bill with his
for refusing to sign the same. This is the fourth
Veto, and presen objections which, in my opinion,
will be approved and sustained by every impartial and
unprejudiced mind in the Union. The Treasury is
exhaused orders drawn in favor Of the Army and Ma
Wy to very lage amount, under protest; the SOL
ders and sailors in the of their country are
denied their pay while every effort to procure loans
upon reasonable terms, has proved aborlve. And
while this bill imposes upon the people of the United
States an additional tax of several millions Of dollars,
it proposes distribute and give away the proceeds of
the public lands much needed at this time to sustain
the credit and honor of the nation at this peculiar cr
sis. Instead of "heading" the Captain, am greatly
mistake if the Clay men have not drawn out docu-
ment that will their own heads from the trunk.
Very respectfully
SaML. MEDARY, Esq.
