A LETTER FROM GENERAL. ScoTr 4

Just now published by the Dayton journal
from which we copy it.
DETROIT, September % 1919.
Gentlemen: Your letter of the 17lb inst
addressed to me at Washington, has followed
me TO this distant region.
With your invitation requesting my pres.
ence at the entertainment about to be given
by the Wigs of Ohio to the Wings of Ken
lucky, who in 1910 so magnanimously post.
poned their first choice for the Presidency I
am highly honored; and if it were compati.
BILE with my position as Federal officer,
should certainly be in the midst of You Oh The
occasion.
With one candidate fer the Presidency, &
the best interests of the country at heart, it
ought not to be doubted that the Wings, all
pealing to the virtue and intelligence of the
People, will be as successful in 1914 as they
were in 1910. Whether that one candidate
be, as all indications seem 10 determine,
Kentucky's illustrious son, or any one Of
hundreds of his followers, my prayers for a
Wing triumph shall be ardent and unceas-
ing.

with high consideration, your friend and ieL

JOHN P. HEALY, ESQ

Mr. Van Buren, wrote letter about year
since to some of his friends in Philadelphia
on the subject Of the next Presidency. This
letter has lately found its way into the news,
papers. The only passage in II worthy OF
notice is The following, in which he denies
that he has declined being candidate for
the Presidency.
"Whlst such is the light in which the SUB.
iect is regarded BY me, and whilst l shall
most assuredIy never lake a single step with
view TO be made candidate, have al
the same time, not SAID what you inform me
some have understood me to say, that
would decline the performance of any pub
lie duty to the execution of which the peo.
pie of the United States should think fit to
call me, and which shall not be inconsistent
with the station have already held through
their favor"
1t seems to be settled at present that the
Locofocos will hold National Convention,
and that Van Buren, will be one of the can.
didates before the Convention. Whether
his old tricks will avail him so far as 10 OBJ
tain the nomination, remains TO be seen--
Nor is it of any consequence TO the Wings.
They are strong enough to defeat any can
didate who can be brought into the field a
gainst them. They beat Mr. Van Buren,
in 1910 by majority of 100000, and car
ried nineteen states out of the tweuty-six
which comprise the Union. What is TO
prevent them from doing it again in 1874 :
If the tariff shall be repealed, and Mr. Tyler
continue in his present course, no human
power can prevent another great political
hurricane at the next Presidential Election.
On that hurricane will Henry Clay ride into
the Presidential chair in 1874, as triumph
anly as did the good old General in 1910.

| A NOVEL Plan IN EURoPE.-A pan is de
yised in London and Dublin for forming 4
General Emigration Society,"; the object o.
which is to colonize the Catholic poor by sen
ding them to America. The society is e1
pected to embrace the friends ofthe caus
through the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain, and ultimately to include Belgium
France, and Germany. The leading designs
of the society are to dispose of the excess Of
population, and to render the Catholic re-
ligion predominant in the United States
The funds of the society will be expended 10
defraying the cost of emigration and the pur
chasing of lands, &c. in the Northwestern
part of the valley of the Mississippi; partlc
ularly the prairie lands or such as may Be
made Immediately productive. The em
grants are to be organized into distinct colo
MES, and sent out under priest placed al
the head of each, to guide AMI direct them 10
things both temporal and spiritual. To Their
priest, the members of each colony are TO be
solemnly pledged in obedience, and Obhga-
ted TO labor few years in common, at redu-
ced wages, for the benefit of the General So
ciety, in order to refund the exIecse OF their
emigration and increase the funds Of the So
ciety.
The expediency of this plan of dispOslne
of the surplus population of Great Btltaln i
stated as resulting from the fact that it is IN
creasing at present at the rate of one thols
and per day, or three hundred and sixty hfs
thousand per year; while the OpportunIly
for labor, as a means of their subsistence, /
diminishing, and that the excess can no lol-
eer be supported. i,
These colonies, when duly formed 'n-
planted, it is expected will be so managed a
to create a larger demand for British manu-
features. There will be no want of emf
grants; for thousands and thousands, becaDS
they have not the means of defraying the Ell
penses of emigration, and not finding Ell
ployment, are starving in idleness at homs
or doomed to subsist by begging their bIe--
from door to door, to save themselves ifon
perishing with hunger. Il

ScoTH EXPERIMENT WITH THE GALvANlc
Power. We find, among some of our Cal
edonian papers, the following extract from
a letter dated Dunbar, Sept. 10Th, contain
ing information that Mr.. Lyon of Glas.
gov, the contractor fer new harbor at
Dunbar. had introduced that wonderful and
tremendous agent, the galvanic battery, to
aid him in his extensive blasting operations.
Several explosions of considerable magni-
tude," says the letter writer, shave recently
taken place. The largest containing 60
pounds of powder, distributed in FIVE bores
Of great depth. The bores were placed so
as mutually to assist each other, and the
conducting wires were so arranged that the
whole five were fired simultaneously by one
battery. 1t was surmised that by this meth
cd the effect would be much greater than
exploding the shots singly, and the almost
incredible quantity of rock thrown down,
showed the correctness of the anticipation.
In another instance, in order TO throw down
part of the celebrated Castle of Dunbar,
three bores, fifteen feet in depth, were run
obliquely into the rock below The foundation.
They were exploded togethe~, and lifted
from lis bed, in one unbroken and compact
mass, body of masonry weighing not less
than $50 tons. "-Boston Transcript.

believe the time is rapidly approaching
when the free states of this Union will
come to see the immense evil Of slavery, mot
only in moral, but in a political and finan-
cial point of view and when they will
come up, not through the present third par
ty organization, but by other ways, and
through other means, to the point ofstand-
ing upon their rights, and maintaining the
true interests Of freedom. And for such a
result whenever it shall be accomplished,
the country will, in my opinion, be indebt'
ed to the persevering efforts of abolitionists,
to an extent that will entitle them to its
lasting gratitude.
Let abolitionists, then, not relax their eff
forts to produce correct public opinion on
this great subject, to awake up. thoroughly,
the free States to conviction that they
have something to do with slavery--hostile
as it clearly is, not only to human rights,
but to their interests, to the peace of the
country and to the permanency of the
Union.

WIG Victory IN NEW HAVEN The

their rally on Monday, are as numerous as
ever, and still possessed Of the right spirit,
notwithstanding the apathy of their brethren
elsewhere. At the election Of Town Off.
GERS, they mustered over 900 strong, and
completely routed the Locos, who, with all
their exertions, had but about 500 men on
the ground. The highest vote on the tick.
ct was 9l7-highest on the Loco ticket SIS
average Wing majority about 400. We
hope the Wings of Hartford will initiate the
good example set them by their brethren of
New II aven. and on Monday next elect
their ticket by as large majority.

ATTEMPT TO Poison A Wing MEgTIN

n EWfI To OISON A w HIU VI EE IINU
The Examiner, published at Westminster
Pa, contains letter from St. Ciairsville,
Ohio. stating that during the recent election
contest in the last mentioned State, an at.
tempt was made TO poison a whole Wing
meeting. 1t seems there was no spring or
we'll of water where the meeting was, and
a supply was brought in barrels. Into one
of these large quantity of arsenic was
thrown. One hundred and sixty persons
who drank from that cask sickened, and
three men and one woman have died. The
story may be true. but we believe not a word
of it. The Democracy has been using the
Wings up the last year fast enough without
resorting to arsenic.-Boston Times.

Washington, august "a, 1874


Dear Sir,-My advice TO the Wings of
Massachusetts, (Which | fear they are moi
likely 10 have great respect for,) would be,
bu no means to commit the State, at this mo-
ment, to anybody. Events of magnitude
are constantly unfolding. Next year at this
lime will be quite in season, and nothing
appears 10 me to be necessary now but 10
make a stforg rally for the State Govern
ment. Such is Mr. Clays present position,
that no one can fail 10 see the awkwardnesS
of pushing him at the present moment.-
Such proceeding can do him no good,and
fear would be sure 10 give the State 10 the
Locofocos. 1t is not TO be disguised, that
these premature nominations have not help
cd the Wing cause, in States in which elec-
tions have been held, such as North Carroll
ma, Indiana, Illinois, &c. My own opin-
ion is, that equally bad effects would follow
the same policy, if adopted in Massachu-
sets. write this in confidence, but you

You have assured the People of Rensselaer,
that your party are in favor of protective
