THE WAVE OF DEMOCRACY.

President Tyler is daily advancing in the good
esteem of the great Democratic family Of the coun-
try; and if the question could be put 70 the people
with the view of ascertaning whether the course Of
the President or that of the majority of the two
Houses of Congress was most approved, we are sure
that large majority of the votes of the freemen OF
the nation would be polled in favor of the Presidents
conduct His vetoes by no means unpopular,
especially his last The improper union of the Land
and Tariff bills is denounced by the hote Democratic
party, and by many Wings. All true friends of the
Tariff who wished it to pass, for its own sake, uncon-
taminated with party politics, speak out decidedly
against the bill recently vetoed by the President
The elections in every State except Kentucky have
loudly reb,ked the majority OF the two Houses OF
Congress What is the reason, if their course of pol
icy right that they have been SO completely over
whelmed at the polls every where, except in single
State? Why is it that North Carolina has deserted
the Wing standard and resolved to change one OF her
United States Senator's and that, too, when she has
the President of the United States Senate from her
commonwealth? Why is it that Indiana has so sig
ni6cany given notice to the Wings in Congress that
they not acting in accordance with the wishes oil
the people of that State?
Besides, we Alabama grows stronger and strong
in the Democratic faith while illinois has, with her
immense Of Democracy, swept all before her.
Nor should We in our remarks, forget the Democrats
of Virginia. who led off successfully against the
Wings. At the risk of being considered little inn
pertinent, we would ask the majority Of both Houses
Of Congress to tell what State, except Kentucky,
has sent them its approval of their conduct by its vote
at the polls during their euerlasting session : 1t is
true they have been industriousIy counting pub
lie opinion, but if we look to the elections IN the
States, we find that they have utterly failed. For
ourselves, ask stronger comment upon the poll
cy Of the Wings in Congress- than their recent defeat
The President, in his present contest is backed by
the united Democracy Of the Republic at large besides
a host of honest men who love their country more
than they do any man in existence-men who, look
ing the good of their country, want tariff, freed
from the agtating politics Of the times.
If the controllers of the two Houses anxious to
understand public sentiment they have only to look
to the of the people. They speak in voice Of
thunder

quarters about that toast" deem it proper 70 com
municate to you " the fact Of the matter" The au-
thor of the sentiment ofeyed the 4th of july up
on my request to be informed about il, says: My
toast the honest expression of my views, and
written and offered the instant, without concert
with any one. did not know of the proposition Of
the party dining at McArann's TO send deputation,
until a few minutes before it came" Imay also, with
out giving offence my friend who 30 freely express
es himself in friendly letter, add =" There is nothing
in the toast dsrespectfuio the President, any
such thing meant. No one will be ready to sus
tain him ia such measures involve sacrifice of
Democratic principle, and tend TO tho welfare of the
Union than sha for abhor all factions thai seek
to elevate themselves at their countrys cost with me
her prosperity and happiness the paramount
consideration and tbese will be in slight degree
advanced by the boldness and frmness Of President
Tyler believe him to be governed BY honest and

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., August IL, 1912.
Mr.. EpIroa The Veto Message of President Ty-
Ter upon the Revenue and Distribution BILL passed by
the Clay-,chgs for electoneerng purposes, and who
have shown themselves during the present session of
Congress- to be reckless, unprncipled, and as cor
rup set as ever disgraced the councils of any
ton on Gods footstoo was received in old Demo-
cratic Portsmouth, by the Democratic party last eve
ming, with public demonstrations of particular appro-
baton salute of FIFTY guns was Immediately
fired by the Democrats, which made the blue arch
ring and the Clay o1ice-holders and Office beggars
look pale
You, a short time since, made the following re-
mark:
Most of the important offices are filled with the
minions and sycophants of Clay"
This is true when applied to the oce-holders here.
They are Clay-men and go for United States Bank,
high Protective Tariff, and the Distribution. 1t is
true their organ here now attempts to play Postum
but, the examination of that paper, for few months
past, will show the truth of this statement. They
have abused and injured him, and now they attempt
to deceive and cheat him.
If President Tyler continues to pursue the true
Democratic course there is no doubt the Democrats
of old Portsmouth will give him their most hearty
support Tell the Captain to goahead, to be bold and
fear not we are with him. If he pursues straight
nor Clay, with his Virgin heer can head or inJure
him. The People will bear him TRIUMPHANT
LY through the contest!

A TARIFF.

AS we predicted, the Wing press of the
North is the first to open its batteries on the
Wing members of Congress, who have yielded
obedience to the commands issued by the Lord
of Ashland in relation to revenue bill
AS we remarked the other day, it will soon be
seen that Caleb Gushing has acted more wisely,
and more like patriot and Il statesman, than
John Quincy Adams, and all the Distribution
ultra Wings of the North.
When Mr.. Gushing rose in the House and
moved to strike out the twenty seventh section
we predicted that it was the best move OF his
life. That prediction will be verified. Epenfs
will soon develope everything. MIR. G. is des-
tined to be no secondary champion of the tru

THE 'sGOD OF BATTLES

Weintended to have reviewed the m0nsfruns
horreadum of Mr. Adams, but the decision
and condemnation Of his own friends on the
measure of their champion, stopped our pen
Mr. Adams has fallen, even as he uttered his
appeal TO the God of battles to destroy the Pre-
sident and Government. While the unfinished
sentence is yet upon his feverish lips, his own
friends place their fiat on his passion, and leave
him in the midst of the ruin he invoked upon
the Executive Of the whole People, and the
land his father periled life, honor and fortune to
sustain.
From the parade and violence in procuring
the committee of thirteen, we expected that
their terrible report would be altentively con-
sdered and triumphanty adorted. We were
confident such would be the case with Mr..
Adams report, for It was on this point that the
God of Battles was invoked. But where, oh,
where are the spirits from the pasty deep
Where are the ten thousand bayonets that were
to glitter defiance to the President as he passed
along the Avenue2 Where are the thunders
of tongue eloquence and stencil of gunpowder
that were to Grouse the very stones Of Rome to
rise and mutiny?' % Echo answers, "where y

be turned on them for undertaking his commit
sion without the power Of carrying it through,

THE PRESIDENTS FOURTH VETO.

To-day we present readers with another veto.
All must admit that it is forcibe and statesma Mike
document. The necessity for this State paper is set
forth in clear pointed, and energetic manner, and
we think satisfy the Clay and Bottles that they
are most goriously headed
The Wing press is filled with wrath, and John
TYLER is now denounced in holder terms than hereto
fore, and all for the that he has dared to do
what they very much desired.
The Veto will satisfy every man who reads
it. unless he is completely saturated with the
gall of federalism, that the Tariff should ne
yer be brought up in connection with any other
question and that from the present situation of the
Treasury all the means which the General Govern
ment can command ought to be applied to its wants
The President informs US that if the bill presented
him were to receive his sanction, is probable that
direct taxation must be resorted to- Notwithstanding
this the raying cry of the Wh'gsis, distribution"
One thing is now certain, if Congress adourns with
out passing tariff for revenue, with incidental pro-
lection, no blame attach to the President Hc has
signied his willingness to cooperate in such course,
and thus throws ali the responsibility upon the Wings.

put that question into nuishell-and none but the
wilfully blind can fail to draw a. just conclusion.
Business here is in a state Of paralysis; nor can 1t
revive until the Tariff question is settled. The exc

BOSTON, August 10, lo4Z.
DEAR SIR: Some days have elapsed since the
message of the President the United States, veto
ing the great tariff BILL received this CITY, OPP
portuny has therefore been given to mark the effects
it has produced upon the public mind in this section
Of the Union
On its reception, the ultra Wings poured forth
ebullons of wrath upon the head of our worthy
Chief Magistrate and succeeded in getting up little
excitement in their own immediate and limited circle
of friends and followers; but, like resistance against
the swelling waves of the ocean, their vaPid excita-
tons were soon overwhelmed by the mighty voice of
an approving people.
In vain have the organs of the ultra Partisans of the
Lord Of Ashland" been examined for reasons and
arguments setting forth the inconsistency ofthe course
which they declare the Executive has pursued but
none have been found as none have been advanced.
Declamatory abuse, pure and unmxed by the least
shade Of reason attempt at argument has consttu-
ted the beginning, middle and ending of all their eff
forts. The great of the people are not to be de-
ceiyed or influenced by such denunciatons. The lip
of every honest and honorable man curls with scorn
and Indignation at all such vain and weak attempts
The character of the message, State paper, has
not been surpassed That states the question at is
sue between the Executive and Legislative branches
Of the Government fairly, has not been disputed,
whileits arguments acknowledged, by all unbiass
cd, candid minds to be unanswerable, and its conclu-
sions unavoidable and irresistible 1t may be assaed
by partisan prints and political demagogues but it will
stand impregnable in its own strength, aud the Demo-
cracy ofthc country will respond to its patriotic prin
ciples Already has that response been given. The
great abiding impression that this message of the Pre-
sident has produced upon the public mind Isl THAT
JOHN TYLER is AN HONEST MAN, AND IN HIS HANDS
THE RElNs OF GOVERNMENT ARE SAFE.

FOR THE MADISONIAN


Mr.. EDITOR should like to know in what part
of the Constitution the authority is found, by which
the present Wing Senate derives its power, to invest
with the Mayor of Washington the authority OF dis
bursting the public money of the People of the United
States? The Corporation of Washington is not
known in the Constitution, as branch OF the Go
vernmen of the United States then, why should the
Mayor Of Washington be invested with the power of
making the appointment of officers, who are to re-
ceive their pay from the Treasury of the United
States This is certainly unparalleled 10 the history
of the Government, and was done with the evident
intention of bestowng the appointments upon the
friends of the "Virgin hcfer candidate at the Ok
pense Of the People of the United States, that it may
be nucleus around which Wing Imperial Guard
will concentrate their power. If the Senate did not
wish to invest the power of appointment with the
President why not have left it to the People, that
they might decide it by election? This would not
suit their views, because it was doubtful whether
they would, under present circumstances, have Sc
cured the true and faithful.

Republican principles of Jefferson. There net
yer was any Federal leaven in his composition
We copy the following paragraph from the
Boston Courier:
The lntellgencer says the course for Congress
is indeed difficult to choose ; and again the sentiment
is reiterated Every body must the difficulties,
with which the of the majority in Congress is
beset.' This is going little too far. Eueyy boly
does not see these insurmountabe difficulties. In fat,
almost every body sees and knows that there is no
difficulty whatever in the way, except that which
created by the accursed spirit of party which reigIs
triumphant in the halls of Congress-which seems g
all ideas of responsibility to the people, and all cart
for the public prosperity. Should Congress adjourn
without providing revenue it is our humble opinion
that of the members will have account to set
tie with indignant constituents, that may CONVINCE
them Of the fratv of their title to their seats"

taken from the ground. They were from mine

Stanlys Creek, in Lincoln county One piece
weighed 49 pennyweights and grams ana SIX othsr
pieces averaged from to 5pennywelghts pure gold,
when found. The mine has now been WORKED ABOUT
six months. and seems only to increase in value
May it long continue to do 80.
