THINGS TO BE REMEM-
BERED.

Union are the worst governed, and the
most heavily taxed.

wing her population from her Ii miis by
heavy taxation--to Alabama, with a
debt Of ten milllons-to Pennsylvania
with a debt Of thirty-eight millions Of
dollars. The stocks Of all these Lo-
eoloco States are sunk fifty per cent,
while the WING city Of Philadelphia
maintains the credit Of be stocks at par

3. That the LocofocO States tax
the most extravagant ia the expendi-
iure Of the public moneys.
5. That the only three States in the
Union which have no debt, are the
Wing States Of Delaware, Connecticut
and Rhode Island.

Now, this likening his master to an

the Court where John got his cap,

For our part, without the aid ofthis

other.
But we comprehend, now that the

BALING CoTToN.-Speaking OF the
practice Of baling cotton with iron
hoops, and their superiority over that
Of rope for the same purpose, the Ray
mond Farmer, Of late date, advances
the following as a favorable case in
point:-N o. Pic.
AS further argument in support
OF the views here set forth, it may not
be out Of place TO mention that Mr.
Joseph Dunbar, OF Adams county.
used iron bands for his cotton in place
OF rope, which cotton be shipped to.
Europe; when the cotton was sent on,
board the vessel, the captain found that
il slowed so much better end was so
much less liable 10 accident and dam
age than the cotton bound with rope.
that he agreed TO make a deduction Of
my cents per t0le in The price Of freight.
This is an important item and we'll
worth the attention Of planters. Upon
the arrival Of this cotton in Europe, its,
good condition excited the surprise and
admiration Of al who saw il, so much
so that the house Of Washington Jack
son & Co., who were the cOnsignees,
wrote Mr.. Dunbar aauering letter,
stating that the lot Of iron-bound cot
ion arrived in better order than any lot
Of American cotton previously ship

THE PROSPECT BRIGHTENs!
Prom the Troy Wing.

HE loss Of ONO aHeaoy DeBlus ~
producs salu;ary effect upon New
York. The wings OF i,.e e i''''Di'S '9'a's
81 last perceive that on them the seu'y
again devOlves OF staying the tide OF
Locofocoism, and turning il back into
lis It's legitimate channels. Their old
war-spirit revives at the thought. The
veterans Of the GRAND ARMY Of 1910
agsin gather round their Eagles. The
young warriors are rallying in every
valley, and on every hillside. The
din OF preparation begins to resound
through The Stale, awakening those
who sleep, and stimulating to action
by fresh inducements, those who are
up and doing. To Arms! To Arms
IS every where the cry.
Well IS it that it IS so. The alarm
bell with its "metal storm-voice" can
not ring out too loud-lhe trumpet can
not sound TOO 6ercely-the spirit-stir-
ring-drum and ear piercing fle cannot
st ike upon the bearing too sharply 10
the present crisis. New YORK MUST
STAND FIRM, or all is lost! New York
must STAND EIRM,, or the country will
again be deluged by the black waves
Of Locolocoism rolling their pestilen-
tial, Dead Sea waters over the revi-
wing industry Of the people, and pois-
ening and suffocating tie very germ Of
the natioa's strength, No matter If
every other Slate in the Union bows
before this noxious blast So long as
New York holds herself erect, and
stays the progress Of the Destructive
principle, ALL WILL BE WELL. Her
two millions offreemen will form re-
served corps of Republicans powerful
enough in any emergency, TO keep the
field until the next Presidential electi-
on shall again rally the great army Of
Harrison under the banner Of Harry
Of the West.
We say, 'the prospect bTightens. -
And we say it without eIsggeration.-
For, so far as our own, and the neigh
boring counties are concerned, the spir-
(which pervades the Wing ranks,is Of
the most enthusiastic character. The
Young Lion Of the West, elso is be-
ginning to growl as the evil genius Of
Locofocoism approaches his territory,
aud will soon put his huge paw upon
him and crush him. In the Southern
tier of Countries, the old fires are bla-
zing up again, and bid fair 10 light up
a general confagration from the banks
Of the Hudson 10 the shores Of Lake
Erie. The long NEGLECTED" North
is also rallying il support Of her Bra
dish nor do the fires Of her furnace
rekindle by the benign influence Of the
Tariff, burn, more brightly than does
the indomitable Wing spirit in the
breasts OF her hardy sons. Every where
in fine, the OLD GUARD are sounding
TO ARMS with their ancient energy
The war-cry is peaIing from a thou
ssnd bills, and on the Sth Of November |
they will re-asseu their claim 10 the |
proud title Of the BraUest Of the Brave.

G-The next Congress viii be a very i'm
portant one; upon it may possibly devolve the
duty Of olectingthe next President Of the
United States. We have no doubt but that
the Loco Focos, when they discover the i'm
practicabnty Of uniting upon any individual Of
their party, will endeavor to play their cards
so that the game shall have TO be terminated
in the House Of Representatives. That the
election Of President should ever have to pas
from the hands Of the people to their represen-
tatives, is political misfortune, greatly to be
deprecated, but we have the strongest hopes
that the Wings Wi prevent this difficulty.

ANOTHER Fatal DUEL.-It seems
that New Orleans is not the only place
where the sin of duelling is practised.
The Philadelphia Gazette of the 0sd
ut gives an account ola deadIy duel
which took place on thar morning. on
the ilsand opposite burlington between
TWO midshipmen Of our navy. One

IS said . belong to Philadelphia, was

were under orders, awaiting their ex-
animation at the naval asylum.

It is stated that Elder Hines and
Parson Miller met about ten miles
from Providence for the purpose Of

ginaled in some theological dispute.
The officers got wind Of the business
and took them both into custody.

uing their theological differences, as ra-
tlonal, and even as christian, as to keep up
a perpetual battery Of inve ;iive and dc;
clamatiOn from their Pulpits against each
other. When words are the mere vehicles
Of abuse and denuncialion, they are bot
weapons Of different charatler from
pistols, but are directed by pretty much
the same fee ling, which induces a resort
to the latter. We throw out these reHeo-
tons for the especial benefit Of some Of
the preachers Of this place, who instead
Of inculcnting the benign and charitable
doctrines Of our Saviour, seem to think
that the whole duty Of an expounder Of
The gospel Of Chris, consists in stimula-
ting the bigotry Of their congregations,
and in creating disposition to sectarian-
ism and intolerance, which is rapidly de-
stroying the harmony Of svcie;y.

NrThe late success Of ihs Nuc

iablisbes the importance Of she orgap-
izaiiun Of The Wing party in clubs
The result Of thar election was doubt

times Of high patty excitement, there
Is nothing so important as concert,

shortly to see Clay clubs established
throughout our State.

@ The Looofoco prints affect to
ridicuIe the Wing party by calling
them the 'cOons' and reproaching iben
with the Pageanis, which they adOp-

A long course OF maladministratiou
Of our Government, most obstinately
persisted in, had at length reused feel

swept through the land 10 that memo.

fore it by its resistless force. The
numerous pageants and immense as
sembies Of the people, that we're wit.
messed in every direction, we're not
humbugs prepared for the occasion to
produce an excitement, but they were
the natural offspring of the high
wrought enthusiasm, which pervaded
the county.
The various em5lems Of coon skins,
cider barrels, log cabins & C. we're
adopted from some striking incident
coGcecIed with that exciting contest,
and served to relieve the severity Of
that political struggle by the glee and
pleasantly which they afforded. The
result was deeply mortifyDg to the Lo-

relief fer their painful defeat by attemp-
ling to throw ridicule on 'hs Wings !;

The most judicious ofthe Wing
prints in New York, express strong
hopes Ofcarrying that State at the ap-
preaching election. The apathy and
Indifference, which lost Ohio, have
stimulated the Wings of New York to
a vigorous and united action.
From all appearances il the Empire
State should not give Wing majority
at their coming election, the contest
must be a close.

This country is not yet relieved Of
their troublesome neighbors, and prep
arations for carrying oa the war are
being made throughout the Republic.

and the Houstonian a Texas paper,

COTTGN

The cotton market still continues
greatly depressed. The New Orleans
papers Of the latest dates, quote the
sales as ranging from 4 to s cts., ac-
eording to the quality, and even these
rates are above the UNITS Of European

O. 1t is supposed, at least hoped,
that Gov. Tucker will convene the
Legislature OF the Stale for the pur-
pose Of adopting some remedy for ne
evils, which result from the eNsting
law in regard to the collection of tax
es on land. A more impolitt, iniqui-
tous, aud burdensOme syaem could
scarcely be devised thar the present
one as practised.
The collection by.he State Of few
dollars BY taxes on land in almost eve
nv instance costs the owner as many
hundred or be loses his land. This
perversion the spirit of the law might
be prevented BY The inlerposition ofthe
court Of Chancery, out as that mode
Of redress would be expensive to the
owners, SINE general action by the
legislature II the State is imperiously
required.

Mr.. CLAr.s arEECH
The Ola gentleman Of tie "Colum-
bus Demociat' has repeatedly ia the
course Of bis editorial career charged
Mr.. Clay with being 40 abolisionis,.---
So strong is our worthy coiemporay's
regard for truth, that we are perfectly
satisfied he was leboring under some
delusion when he gave currency to this
calumny, and we are sure that upon
being convinced OF bis error, be is too
masnanimOus not to have taken The
earliest opportunity Of correcting bis
missIalemenl and expressing his re-
greet at il. We have therefore beer
forced to the conclusion that the
speech which Mr.. Clay lately made at
Richmond Indiana, and in which be
gave a full exposition Of bis opinions
on the subject OF abolition, must most
unaccountably have escaped the obser-
valion Of our neigbboF. There is no
other way under the sun Of aceoun-
ting for his total silence in regard to
il. We know he is too generous not to
feel disposed to make feparaton for
unintenlioual injustice. We recollect
q remarkable instance Of his magnan-
unity in this respect in regard 10 Mr..
S. ). .Preniiss upon the same subject.
!. seems that when he was about lea
vim F;rsinia he went TO the Office OF
the Riebm,,1d Enquirer to obtain adj
vice from Mr.. Rilcs!e as to bis future
course he made bis wishes kG9Wn to
the veteran Of the Enquirer and when
ne was about leaving him, Mt. Richie |
him with small package SCI
curely sealed up, which be told him to |
take with him without opening It until !
he should arrive at his destination, and |
Whenever he was at loss as 10 what
he should say 10 relation to any dis
.inguisheG man,whom he might oppose,
% look at trat. Upon opening the
package he discovered that il was a
'orm oit6s chargs g'"44LoIitiOn" sier-
,otyped. Whilst Mr. Pfentiss was
,anvassing this state foT Congress this
itereoiyped form was inserted into the
columns Of the Democrat without the
lighiest righteousness or even mean
ng on the part Of the Editor. My.
?. became indignant, aud, in a public !
ddress at this place, pronounced and
iroved it toIbe an unfounded calumuy,
nd concluded by saying 10 regard 10
!, "that the source from which this
barge came was too contemplate for
is notice but il any individ ual Of re-
pectability would stand foster father
, this base and groundless fabrication,
e would cram the foul lalsehood down
is lying throat" Now this was enough
, enrage any man Of the slightest SEN
ibility, YET all the meek and gentle
ditor Of the "DemOcrat" did, was to
onIInue the insertion Of the charge Of
BOLTON against Mr.. Pren,iss as soon
) he had left the nelgbborhood.
But 10 return to Mr.. Clay's speech,
lie circumstances under which il was
elivered were so we'll calculated to be
Embarrassing, aud yet the readiness Of
he orator was 50 remarkable and his
andOuF so open and fearless, thai, indie
'endent of the true light in which the
ubject Of slavery is placed, the speech,
s a mere specimen of oratory, might
e well substituted in the place Of some
{ the long articles in regard to Mr..
LAY which are weekly inserted TO fill
p the columns Of the "Democrat."
