PARTY TACTICS.

One Of the Van Buren, journals notifies
its readers that the Wings twill, doubt
less. from this time to the Presidential
election in November, 1914, resort % ev.
erv practicable nrtiice to create divisions
in the democratic ranks" THIS, we take
it, would be a work of supereroga,ion. -
The Wings have no need to trouble them
selves on that pont. The various cliques
among the democracy" will create d.
visions enough for all useful purposes. -
But the object of this Van Buren, organ,
the Pennsylvania, may be easily seen
throughout the article, and particularly
by the following paragraph:
"tlence, We may lay It down as gen.
eral rule that when Wings and quasi. DEM
ocrats get up hue and cry against one
man of our party, with avowals that any
other man proposed will DO preferable, il
is either because the principles of the man
so assailed are too pure, or his political
strength is too great, to suit their purpo-
ses."
Mr.. Van Buren, is here kept in the
minds eye. But the friends Of that gen.
teman may know that if he is particularly
obnoxious to the Wings, il is because the
recollection of his disastrous admcistra.
ton is still fresh in their minds, and from
the conviction that if he were again made
| President, the same hurlful policy which
has caused nnumerable evils TO the coun.
try already, would be again urged and
forced into operation. As an opponent
the Wings do mol dread Mr.. Van Buren,.
They know how to defeat him, because
they have done il. For that matter oul
friends on the other side may be Informed
that no man OF that party is dreaded as
an opposing candidate. Whoever leads
them is doomed his defeat is inevitable
They may squabble among themselves
for the empty honor of a nomination, bu
the next President of the United States
must be Wing, and that Wing HENRY
Clay, of Kentucky. Bal. finer.

There was Tyler meeting held at Ro-
chester, N. Y, few evening since, but
like those which have been held in other
cities, it was a magnificent failure. Peo-
pie of all parties made the place general
meeting ground, and being all very free in
the expression Of their several opinions
and none of them being particular about
waiting for his neighbor to finish his re-
marks ere their own commenced, the pro-
ceedings throughout we're nothing but
confusion and noise.

prints, and amongst others, the description
Of the Beast of Daniel. with seven heads
and ten horns, together with chronology
ical calculation as reasonable as MIller's
and quite as fanciful. II is as follows:
The Beast had seven heads, and Ten
horns on each head, which makes seven
ty horns, answering to the seventy weeks
Of Daniel. Now the tail OF this beast was
666 feet long, which is the number Of the
beast. Multiply this by seven and it
makes 1862, which was the age Of the
world when the first Anti. Christian Pope
began to reign. Now tie up the Beasts
tail into three knots and it will shorten ii
to Ola feet inches; which being multi
piled by three, the number OF knots, gives
1s43 exactly--the year in which the
world will be burnt up. But there is an,
other remarkable coincidence. Martin
Luther wore boots with nails in the soles
just 263 nails in both boots, which being
multiplied by the seven heads gives ls41.
Throw in the two boots, which correspond
TO Miller and Hines, and il gives ls43.
