MIR. CLAWS LETTER AGAIN.

There is one paragraph in the letter Of
Mr.. Clay, upon which we did not yester-
day remark, because we thought 1t worthy
of a more special consideration. 1t is
this:
81 am so far a friend to free trade TO
think that, within the limits of tho Union,
it should be entirely unfettered, and per:
ectiy equal between all interests and all
parts OF our country. But to that free
trade whirh would throw wide open our
ports TO foreingn productions, without du'
ties, theirs remaining closed TO Us, or our
admission allowed only upon the nd,tlUn
of high duties and severe restrictions,
which would compel a resort TO direct tax
alton, instead OF custom house, to supply
the wants of the treasury, and which would
leave our domestic industry unprotected,
and exposed in an unequal contest with the
rival productions Of foreign powers, l am
utterly and irreconcilably opposed"
am in favor OF free trade between the
different states of the United States, says
Mr.. CLAY, but not between the different
nations of the globe. Why9 The reason
ass gned ly HIM is, that f"reign nations
resolt to hostile tariffs, and thai, therefore
we should resort to them. itmlght be said
In reply. that the fact Of another nation:
Voluntarily inAicting Injury upon itself i;
no reason why "e should pursue The same
sill y lily, But we do not mean to make
any repIy to the argument; 1t has some
time since been given up by the friends o
the tariff themselves. Mr.. Clay only ex
poses the weakness of his cause by resort
ing TO it long after il had been relinquishet
by the best thinkers Of his own sch 'Ol.-
Their p, stion is that tariff, it god to
us at all, is good without regard t! the leg
isIauon of foreigners. This position =
much wiser and more manly one than chs
Of Mr.. Clay.

We publish the card Of Mr.. Bate as we
;n,;ma,ed in our last, we would be COM
pelled to do, in Justice to all parties VINO
were attacked in the publication OF Dr. n.
], Collins, but if we can once bring this
coo,roversy TO a close, we will assure our
friends and The public, that no contest OF d
purely personal nature, shall ever here
after be admitted into our columns. we
will print hand-bills and circulars In any
quantity that may be wished. We might
regret refusing our columns toa friend VINO
deemed himself injured, but we believe
our duty 10 the public demands the adop'
ton Of tie rule. We know there are
those to whom the unfortunate differences
and misunderstanding Of their neighbors
when ripened into a public and published
quarrel. afford a rich repast, and who do
YOUR with gready eyes the evidences OF
irreconcilable hostility. We have no
wish TO cater for this deprayed and vulgar
taste. We would much prefer that our
friends instead of opening battery OF de-
fama,ion on each other, would send US
articles on science, or agriculture, or the
arts or literature or even politics. We
would publish those with far greater plea
, I'D we have no doubt the public
would read them with more profit. Ex'
cept from the articles published, we know
nothing of the merits Of tho present con-
troversy, and in no case, on it, would 1t
become us to remark.

ADVICE TO SUNDRY PERSONS.

When you feel your passions rising
never confine or repress ihetn. H"w
many boilers have been hurStcd by to-
close an imprisonment of their contents?
Always proclaim the faults of Others
There should be no secrets in republican
government.
Never give up your opinions, though you
know you are wrong-it shows that You
YOU have no independence.
Whenever YOU attack your neighbours
character do it behind his back, So as not
to wound his feelings.
Make it a rule to keep company with
rogues and rascals, and then if you should
be prosecuted for an offence you have
committed, and your Comrades should
be called as Witnesses against you, no
body will believe them, and so you will get
clear.
When you have done an act of charity,
publish it TO othcrs--so that they may do
so too. Besides every man can preach
best from his own notes.
Never pay your debts-it is unconstitu-
tional; for payment impairs the obligation
Of a contract, and even the legislature has
no right to Go That.
Temperance is a great virtue-'here'
fore, always be mo crate IN the use Z"
ardent S irlts. SIX glasses OF sling before
breakfas, is as god as ,h"usnnf.
When you are at church 60 to Sleep
Sunday is day of rest.
If secret has been committed to you t
keep, take special care to keep 1t safely-

In publication made by kobt. j. Col

in the publication and certified by ]. J.

conversation with Doct. Collins and said
Henderson, had made certain charges
and statements, rejecting upon the char.
acter of Mr.. A. M. Gwinn, Of Warren
county.
Now, state that the statement OF Robt.

statement of said Lamar and Henderson,,

the contradictory statements Of Robt. }
Collins, in his correspondence with Mr.
Gwinn and his friends; his giving me as
his author, when he says in the publication
that he had heard that Mr.. Gwinn's char
acter was painted with black paint, before
he saw me, and his not having confidence
enough in hia own word, 10 think that his
si.ter.in-law, OF any body else, would he
leve him, unless he had his tool, Mr.. La.
mar, with him, to ceti(y 10 any thing he
might say, or privately elicit from any one
who might be SO unfortunate az TO stoOp 10
converse with the low, cowardIy puppy,
collins, shows him in proper light; be-
sides, by reference to Card, published by
A. NJ. Gwinn, in The same paper with
this, or the next thereafter, his chuact
will be seen painted in its true color
"BLACk."
DR.. HeEderscn's object in taking an in
terest in this matter, from the FIRST, can be
seen BY all who will take a calm view OF
all the circumstances, and discard all pre-
jndice. My business conflicts with his in
Madison county, all that he can influence,
by SANDER, 10 leave me, he will stand a
chance TO get to his own house; course
which he believed he could pursue with
impunity, on the faith of his brave and
chivalrous trags, asserting that should
not deny uhat he had said.
DR.. Henderson's cetf ,ate | hope will
be read and understood in its proper light.
He says 81 do not recolect precisely his
(Balte's) words, but The inference which |
was compelled to draw from his language
was, shat A. NJ. Gwinn was TTiny,
loafng f low, and both destitute Of prop
srty and correct principles; AMI I'll, his
statements with regard to his uealh were
wholly false, and thlt he (Bltte) oe'ieVel
that his sole object was to get hold on the

it will BIZ seen th.the has given cer;lti-
cate of construction, and not OF facts.
Lamar is scarcely worth passing no.
tice, as Collins in his publication, shows to
the world what he is, and PAGES hun III

overseer to lie his witness, when every one

meetings there reported at twenty. five

The Ple6eidn, which seem to be in a
perfect rage with whole affair, bestows a
column Of unmlrigaled coarseness on Mr..
CALHOUN. his friends and the occasion,
that proves clearly 10 our mind that the
Journal of Commerce must have under
rated The numbers of The Meeting, and
that the AnrOra is nearer the mark
Four thousand people could never have
put Mr.. VAN BUREN's organ into such a
stew of anxiety, terror and rage, That
paper says the Meeting consisted, at high
water mark, of exactly 1853 persons, and
describes them as mainly Wings, rowdies,
liule boys, nlggers, Van Buren, and other
such worthless rabbement.
OF the proceedings and results Of this
Meeting the aurora says:
the loud and hearty cheers which filled
the air during The reading of the resolu.
tions, every principle of which, aside from
the preference expressed for Mr.. Calhoun,
meels the views ofal the candidates ex-
cepl Mr.. Van Buren,, must have aroused
the "Old Hunkers" from the dream in
which they have lately been nduging,
that the democracy whom they have so
long led, wouli not dare avow themselves

1.-THE name of Van Buren, has lost lis ma
gic upon the independent democrats of
the Empire City, and they will speak for
themselves. The threats Of the Old

Letter to the Editor, dated

MEMPHIS, (TENN.) Aug. %, 1913.
Ny DEAR Sir: The elections in this
State have resulted, by small majorities,
IN favor o, Inc Wings. anticipated this
result from the tact that hundreds Of Dem
ocra,s were Inkewarm, in consequence Of
belief thai Governor Polk was still ad.
hearing to the turbid fortunes Of Mr.. Van
Buren,.
1t would be pcrle t folly to attempt to
disguise the fact, that Mr.. Van Buren, is
decidedly the most unpopular candidate
on the Democratic list; and that in this,
and in all the States south and southwest
of the Potomac, he cannot be made avail
able.
The late canvass here fully tested that
fact. The issue was fairly between Mr.
Clay and Mr.. Van Buren,, and his late ad.
minlstration, both of which the Wing can.
didates had the ingenuity TO hold up to
public odium. His having once filled the
offices of Vice President and President
and then rejected Ivy the people, and at.
ter aIlthis to C me forward the third time,
is pushing the figure rather TOO far
