From a special correspondent
BALTIMORE, Oct. ID, 1912.
Since his return from the rip Raps,' the
acting Presiden of the United States it seems
is pre- pairing to play a bold game for a Sec
ond Term.' He has set in motion his Swiss
corps of Officials and Semi-Oficials. and in
stucted them to traverse the States on his
special personal service. In defiance of all
moral and political obligation, and under the
pretence of examining Post Offices, Custom
Houses, and TO prevent smuggling these
pliant placemen are required to ascertain and
report TO the proper Department the names
of all persons holding or applying for public
trusts under the General Government, who
are in any wise suspected of entertaining
personal or political friendship for Henry
CLAY. An immense list has already been
furnished by this super-servIceable band;
and shortly after the meeting of Congress,
when the Autumn Elections shall have been
determined, the result of this odious system
Of espionage will be seen and felt in every
section of the country,
One of these Executive Videttes, who by
the-by, is a little loose of soul and vain of
the confidence reposed in him by his master
made Yesterday in this city sundry prophet
es and revelations which may serve 70 ex-
plain the aims and objects of the Secretary
of State, and shed a salutary light upon the
mysterious movements of the special friends
of John Tyler in the several States of the
Union.
He declared that the course ofMr. Webster
was defined and agreed upon before he left
w ashington; and that the prominent feat

MIR. w. was again to cast his broad black
shadow between MIR Clay and the Wing Par
ty, and thereby weaken our friends at the
current Elections IN Ohio, Pennsylvania,
MARYLAND New Jersey, New-York and Mas
sachusetts. while the Guard, , led offby MIR.
Cushing were to address their constituents,
triihoui distinction Observation-Disclosures their
course in Congress, and sustain the acts and
policy ofthe administration as purely Dem
%ocratie. The speeches of Mr.. Webster and
Mr.. Gushing are before the public, and Mr..
Irwin of Pittsburg-the las, joint but one OF
the Tails adv ertised for an Grafton very
much after the manner of the great 'Expoun-
der himself. He declines eating. but will
be happy to meet and address his friends
without distintion of party on the policy and
conduct of the Administration ofthe General
Government. Ct quote from memory, aud
may not be verbally accurately Profht Gil
mer, Mallory and Wise we may expect in
turn.
Surely in the case of Webster, the throne
of reason has been shaken 10 its fall. The
public voice of his own State through her
united popular assemblages has already pro-
nounded a verdict not TO be mistaken. In
view of the decision of the great Massachu-
sets Convention, the Secretary will fn@, like
