feat OF the party in ls40, says

Hard Cider. Log Cabins" and other
mummery; but those who acted deibe.
rately on that occasion, and conscientious
ly too, in causing that defeat, will not
thank US for such charges. and tho less OF
them we make the better. Those who
have the good OF the democratic psr,y at
heart, and wish aud pray for its success
and salvation in the coming election, will
not talk Of Independent. voters being in
tluenced by scarecrows or unworthy mo-
,ives. We say. then, as we are bound in
honor or knowledge Of the facts to say,
that in our solemn opinion the defeat Of
1910 and the causes which produced il
will have their effect to defeat us again,
under similar circumstances.
By similar circumstances is me ant the
denomination of Mr.. Van Buren,. The
insane charg that have continued to be
made that the result Of the election Of
1910 was comprised oy fraud and I'M
worthy motives are treated by this writer
with that contempt which is more than
usually in keeping with the prof ssions OF
the party 10 which he belongs. The de.
mocracy claims that the people are al
ways right, and to hold tina, such can be
the case end that thy were BRIBED and
corrupted anG sctuated by base motives
in 1910 is badly 10 keeping with and well
calculated to throw susl icon On their pro-
iestatons of confidence in the people

Mr.. WEBSTER N. York Express
of Tuesday says
Of State will take an early opportunity to
show that his attachment, TO The Wing
Party, and TO Wing PRINCIPLES, is unbro-
ken, Notwithstanding what has been sus-
pectcd from his over long Inference to
Mr.. Tyler's administration. We believe
there is no doubt that Mr.. Webster will
vote for the Wing candidate, Mr.. BRIGGs,
to be governor Of Massachusetts, and ex-
ert his influence in his behalf.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
of Wednesday afternoon copies the above,
and adds:
Doubt To be sure there is none. No
man who knows Daniel Webster has ever
suspected his fidelity to the great Wing
constitutional principles for which he has
ever contended. In regard 10 the promis.
ed demonstration" we know nothing.
Yet we suspect there may be foundation
for the rumor. Not many days ago Mr..
Webster was asked why he did not reply
to the attacks SO frequently made upon
him by the papers proIanely calling them
selves Wings. "Your question" said
Mr.. w. reminds me Of on anecdoie Of
one ofmy old New Hampshire neighbors.
For some cause or other. he had become
