look upon the coming election IN
isl4, as one Of The greatest moment to
iIlc weil-being Of our beloved country
through all time TO come. / view 1t as
one IN whlch every American citizen is
teeplv concerned, On it will depend
our future prosperity or msery.--i have
been battling for more than fifteen years
against The adversares Of our country's
slshls, and in 1910, vainIy as events have
proyed. considered that the great object
had been achieved, and that all would be
well. When we succeeded in elevatng
the beloved Harrison to the Presidential
chair, my pulse, as wei! as that Of every
other true Wing, beat high, and respon-
led in grateful emotions for the brilliant
prospects in store for our common COM
Try, and we INDUCED in the conscious
pride, that we had done OR duty; but
nlas! how often do we see tha, tyte though
truthful adage verified, in sadness and
sorrow,-"that man appoints, and Con
lisappoints." For il Was but four short
weeks afcr the good old general took
his seat, before the felf monster, death,
rs al ins:iumcn, IL Cons hands, hurried
'!,im 20 "thai bourne whence no traveller
returns shall never forget the day,
Nhen the roar Of artillery, in slow and
mournful sound, announced the sad It'd
ings of his demise, aud filled the nation
with tears. Ale. his death, however, We
sill entertained he hope, that we should,
III the person Of his successor, be able 10
establish those great principles for which
tie Wings lad SO CALAMITY fought; bat
how gorcIy were we disappointed. TOO
soon were we made to realize the fact,
tia. those who repose their trust III an
unprincipled demagoguc-who conhde
thrir interests 10 all arch hypocrite, like
J2hn Tyicr--were doomed 10 the mori-
ticution Of having all their hopes and
those of their country blWhtcd. Instead
OF his lending his energies, as he was in
honor and duty bound, to the carry ing
out the measures OF relief promised by
the party to a suffering country, and en-
erliug himself TO establish the iunGunen-
tal PRINCIPLES Of our party, he was scarce
" warmed in Office before he began Sc
lies q intrigues, having for their objects
his own ggrandlZcneHt, and the dcsuuc-
llon of the very party which, in moment
OF misplaced confidence, had elevated hun
to Instruction and power. Nay, we see
him coUrlng our opponents boli in mea-
sures and appointments, and as evidences
of his sincerity, in his ncIr7g acgui 81
faith, Diminishing honorable and highmin-
ded Wings from Office and comforting
their places upon their opponents-upon
the very men "ho had opposed his cleo
lion. In many instances, we have seen
him remove good men aud efficient of
GERS from place, fer no higher motive
than because he believed them to be the
friends of tha! maichicSS Orator md
Statesman, llEN3Y CLAY, thus Scckjns to
%|Oat his rengfdncc upon he rj1iu0uS ard

upon man, whose pure and exalted prin-
clpIes rendered him an object Of hate, be-
cause thry were above tic emulation of

Ter, who is second only to Benedict Ar

the name Of Henry Clay, and to reyer-

the glorious truth, that when storms from
without and connections from within
threatened to destroy our glorious nsti
tllions, and with them the hopes of free
