DThe Democrats Of Clay county held
a meeting in Liberty on the 9th inst. Capt.
w. E. Price acted as President, assisted by
Judge Samuel Tilford, and Benz. Hays as
Secretary. 1t was an adjourned meeting,
at which the sense of the county was to be
taken on the subject of the next Presidency.
And accordingly, as soon as the meeting
was organized, the resolution brought for
ward at previous meeting, expressing
preference for Col. Johnson, was called up
and read, when Judge Thompson moved to
insert the name Of Mr.. Van Buren, in the
place of that of Col johnson. On this
motion a debate of some length arose.
The discussion having been brought to
close, the vote was taken, and Johnson re-
ceived 60, and Van Buren, 20 votes. Res
outions were then passed, lamenting the
death of Senator Linn, approving of the
appointment Of Gen. Atchison, in favor of
the occupation of Oregon by the United
States, and calling upon our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to use their
utmost exertions on this subject, and the
protection of our western frontier.

COL. JOHNSON IN NEW HAMP-
SHIRE

The gallant Colonel seems to have had a
glorious time Of it in the Granite State.
On the 2lst inst, he partook of public
dinner with the citizens of Concord, on
which occasion a song welcoming him to
the capitol of New Hampshire, was sung
After dinner the question was bluntly put
10 him. "Col. Johnson, did you or did you
not, in your own opinion, kill Tecumseh?"
Shout upon shout followed this question:
and when il had subsidized, Col. johnson
said, that called upon in such manner,
among such people, he felt not the least
hesitation in answering the question
promptly and fully. Therefore he declared.
"In my oaon opinion l did kill Tecumseh."
He then detailed the circumstances upon
which his belief was founded, and por-
ton of the guests constituted themselves a
jury to try the case. The result was
unanimous verdict that Col. johnson did
kill Tecumseh, and so the matter is settled.
BE it remembered, therefore, "while time
shall last" as the Millerites say, that the
great Indian Brave did his quietus take
from bullet and three buckshot, projected
from pistol, the trigger of which was
pulled by the Hero of the Thames" The
subject can never be agitated again.

THE LOCO FOCO PLAN OF
CAMPAIGN.

AS the period of the Presidential contest
approaches it is becoming more and more
apparent that the leaders of the Loco Foco
party, fearing the issues of another direct
appeal TO the people, are laying their plans
to throw the next election into the House
of Representatives. Indications of such
design have from time to time disclosed
themselves in the engrossing anxiety mani
tested by the Loco party to secure ma
Jorlty, by States, in the Lower House of
Congress. Undoubtedly at the outset this
was looked to as sort of ''last card" only
TO be used, like Butler and Gentworths
"plot" in 1910, in desperate condition of
their political fortunes. But the unex-
pectedly disastrous results of the election
in Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, Ohio,
&c. have already convinced the leaders
that neither Mr.. Van Buren, or Mr.. Cal
houn have any chance before the people,
and that their only hope Of success is TO
give the election to the House of Repre-
sentatives. They are, even thus early,
throwing out "feeers TO try public opinion
on this subject" A recent number of the
Frankfort (Kentucky) Yeoman leads off as
follows:
I'VE can run all of our candidates, and
then keep Mr.. Clay out of the House in
Congress, where he would have no chance
at any rate. In fact, if we wished to make
our success perfectly certain, we could not
do better than run a Democratic electoral
ticket in every State. This would bring
the election before the House where we
shall have about 90 States out of the &c."
We are quite willing that the Locofocos
should try this experiment. Nor are we
surprised that they desire to do so. We
know full well how much they fear the
popular tribunal. "a burnt child breads
the fire." The Loco Focos have still q
vivid recollection of the progress and re-
suits of the campaign of 1910. The lead
ers could doubtless manage" the House of
Representatives. But the. people are not so
easily controlled, as these leaders have
found to their cost. Hence the proposition
so Significantly recommended by the Ken
lucky paper. to "bring the election before
the House." Let US see if the party gen.
orally are content to try this "cast."

we hope that the authority of the law,
the dignity of the House, self-respect and
consistency will present considerations too
potent to be overborne by any thoughts
of temporary partizan advantage.
One of the topics which will earliest
engage the attention of Congress will be
the question of qualification. A certain

drawn strongly on it, and unless in relation

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

The New York Tribune thus speaks on
the subject of the Currency and the posi-
ton of the Wings in regard to it:
We understand the whole Wing party
to be united in the conviction that Ma
tional Currency-a Currency which any
man may easily and cheaply send by Mail
five, fifty or five thousand dollars from any
part to any part Of the Country, and have
it worth just as much at one end of the
route as the other-is indispensable to the
highest prosperity of the Productive Indus
try and Business of the Country. Such a
Currency has heretofore been offered by
National Bank alone. But we do not per-
emptoriy decide that no other means of
creating it is or ever will be possble--we
are willing to consider without prejudice
any other plan which may be suggested.
We are confident the next Wing Congress
will do so, and will decide in favor of that
plan which shall seem best calculated to
subserve the great end desired, which is
sound and Uniform National Currency, in
accordance with the Wing principle that it
is the duty of the Government to provide
such Currency. And when Congress
shall have decided on the means, be assured
we shall have a Wing President who shall
render a hearty concurrence. Such we
understand to be the Wing platform in re-
ation to the Currency.
UFThe Baltimore American publishes
the above, and says:
We understand the same thing precisely.
The platform of great principle is al
ways wide and capacious enough to allow
ample room for discretion and freedom of
opinion as to the ways and means of
practical application. The matter in con-
troversy is not whether there shall be a
Bank of the U. States or not, but whether
there shall be national currency or not.
Has the General Government the power
under the Constitution to create and sus-
tain a national currency, and if so is it
the duty of the Government to exercise its
power in that particular The Wings an
swer affrmatively in both cases. The very
existence of a national government implies,
as its co-relative, national currency. Such
currency is necessary for the uses of the
government, it is essential to the business
interests of the people. In some form or
another such currency will exist. If put
down in one shape it will spring up in
another, as by the force of an instinct in
nate in our political national organization
and actively at work in all the impulses
and movements of trade, both inland and
foreign. Thus we have Treasury notes at
one time, and at another we may have Sub
Treasury drafts-substitute and poor ones
for such currency as we ought to have
yet indicating by their circulation the gen.
eral want which may be well or i'll supplied
according as we have wise or an unwise
Government.

term so much in vogue at the present day,

be served up one day instead Of a dish of fish.
The invention was seen, but the dependent knew
too we'll the value of the connection which he
had established, to take the hint He partook Of
the toads with apparent RELISH never letting it be
presumed that he thought them any thing but
good soles. Thereafter any one who was con.

pense of few occasional insults, was said 10 eat
