ELECTION OF DELEGATES

The choice of delegates to convention
to pass upon the amendments proposed to
the Constitution, by the Council of Censors,
took place in this State on Tuesday last
Somehow or other this election seems not to
have been brought to the notice of the com.
munity generally, and we venture to say
that majority of the voters in the State
we're not aware of the existence of such an
election. This general apathy, however,
seems 10 have been improved by the Locofo-
cos to make rally, and as far as we can
learn they have pretty generally elected the
delegates. If there is any stock to be made
out of such an operation they are welcome
to il.

RIGHT SPlRIT.--The New York
Tribune, i'll concluding an account of the
election in that city, speaks the following
language to which every true Wing will
respond: a.
Let one thing be distinctly understood:
In veal or wo, prosperity or adversely,
hope or gloom, there is but one Wing
candidate for President in 1914. No for
tune can alter that-Mr. Clay himself will
not be allowed to retire, should he wish
1t. For him and none other The being
alive) the Wings will vote; and we have
no doubt that the result will prove the
Loco-f oco success of'4l and '42 as hol-
low and unmeaning as those of '3S and
'39. 1t needs nc exhorta.lon to induce
every Wing to be ready for That contest.

A PRoPHEcY.-ln 1895, when Andrew
Jackson and his .jSolomons were at the
head Of the government, and in possession
of the unbounded confidence of MAORI
~ of their countrymen, and the whole
country was in state OF unparalleled
prosperity, there was one Sentinel at his
post, whose eye could penetrate into the
future, and see the fatal effects of the des-
trucive policy they were pursuing.
That sentinel was HENRY CLAY. In
public speech he made use of the fol-
lowing language. Had his voice been lis
tened to, what an incalculabe amount of
distress would have been avoided.
There being no longer any sentinel at
the head of our banking establishments to
warm them by its Information and opera
lions of approaching danger, the local in
sliluions, already multiplied to an alarm
ing extent, and almost daily multiplying
in seasons of prosperity, will make free
and unrestrained emissions All the
channels Of circulation will be gorged!-
Property will raise extravaganlly high,
and constantly looking up, the templa'
ton to purchase will be irresislible!-In-
ordinate speculation will ensue, debts
will be freely contracted, and when the
season of adversely comes, as come ii
must, the banks acting without concert
and wi'hou. guide. obeying tie law Of sell
preservation, will all al the same time call
in their issues: the vast number will ex-
agerale the alarm, and general distress,
wide spread ruin, and all explosion Of
the general banking system, or the estab-
lishment of new Bank of the U. States
will be the ultimate cllects.''

A HOOSIER'S REBUKEy

AT the Clay Barbecue in Indianapolis,
the leading Wings who belong to Mr..
Clay were adorned with badges. An old
hoosier democrat, by way Of offset, pin
ned a one dollar shinplaster of broken
bank TO the collar of his coat.
The above is from the Iowa Gazette
and Advertiser. We see nothing marvel
lous in it, supposing tito be true. 1t was
very natural that the Locofoco should put
on the badge of his party, as he saw the
Wings doing so. 1t was specimen OF

For President in 1914.
HENRY CLAY,
OF KENTUCKY.

afDickens' work on this country. un-
der the title of 'American notes for gene.
raj circulalion," has created quite SEN
sation, and Is in great demand. 1t was
republished in New York at the New
World office, in the astonishingly short
period Of nineteen hours after its
reception. We have not yet read the
whole work it has been much condemn
ed by the press generally-judging from
what we have read, it is our opinion that
although it is somewhat tainted with the
Marryai or Trollope character, it is the
most fair and liberal book that has been
written by an English writer in relation to
our country. He exaggerates our peculi-
arities, and gives as samples OF our gener-
al character, examples Of a very low order.
The character he gives to the News
paper press of this country is altogether
unfair. In times of high political excite
ment some Of the most violent parlizan
prints are nearly as bad as he represents
them, but in ageneral way the American
journals are far more respectable, and
conducted with far greater ability than
those published in England

OBITUARY..

Died at his residence in Cecil Co. Md, on
Tuesday November list 1879, the Rev. George

ful and jealous in the discharge of his duties as IL
minister Of the Gospel, and was, we believe, tho
honoured instrument in the hands of the Almigh-
ty in the salvation of many souls "who will bs
stars in his crown oirejoning, when the Saviour
shall come to make up his Jewels" In the do
nestle circle the virtues of the deceased siione

band, an attectonate purent and warnl-heart-
ed Trend. lie maintained an unblenslied re-
putation, and was highly respected and esteemed
IN the community in which he lived. After sui.
fering some months with paralytic affection,
which almost entirely confined him 10 his room,
and which he bore with patience and resignation,
he departed calmly, in the frunphs of faith,
leaving with his friends the comforting assurance
that he has gone 10 reap the reward of II well
spent life. In view of the circumstances con-
nected with his exit well may we cxcaim "let
me die the death of the righteous, and let my
last end be like his"
