POOR TOMS A, FEVER

YIN D wv - u 1 IL LIN
The Editor of the Lincoln Courier by
heading our last remarks with Poor
Toms a Cold imagines We suppose that
as colds arc SO common that we have got
one. Wen, be ii so, we arc glad to get
any hing these hard times but il We
should Judge from the temper Of his artl-
Gle " Poor Toms a Fever" which is not
pleasant even IN cold weather.
The Editor Of the Courier says We tor
TURF tho truth, and then denies our charge
Of coming 10 a certain place in South Caro-
lima recommended as a Wing. He says
the charge was first made in "filthy
sheet called tic Republican Wing De.
mocat and says that cause that requires
such authority must be poor one. He
should not complain even if that was our
authority, when he no doubt drew his eyl
dcncc from as dirty a sheet " to sustain
The charge that we did not write for our
own paper. More Of this anon.
lie saws he could obtain letters of re.
commentator us 10 his ability 10 conduct
a paper IN South Carolina" and then asks
us il we will procure few. We have no
doubt that he coaid &c: recommendation
stating that lie was capable Of doing eUery
thing but We are sorry for the people OF
York District that they were so stupid as
not TO be able TO discover his capacity to
conduct paper, and therefore rendered il
necessary for him TO wind up and come to
North Carolina. As to ourselves we new
or laid claims TO any great amount OF
smartness, aud whether we are capable or
not to conduct paper, the best evidence
that we can give of this fact is, that we
have not changed our location for several
wears and that we have respectable list
of subscribers, aud what is better than all
we are paid by most of thom-and if we
considered il necessary perhaps we could
pet q recommendation that we are capable
Of conducting paper also.
The Editor Of the Courier says II
makes mighty little difference to US who
writes for the Journal" If this was so,
why was he SO ready to take up the slang
and charge US with not writing the article
And another thing, if he had been as
ready TO find the denial as he was TO listen
to the charge that there were several r
responsible men writing behind the screen,
he would have seen that we have denieC
more than once that any one wrote for us
Although we lay no claim to be consider

90 We have given in another column an
interesting letter from Phllo White, Purser
in the U. S. Navy, partial account of the
three wears cruize of the u. S. Ship
" Dale" We are pleased that he is re.
turned in safety to the U. States and We
hope he may again be united to his family.
Although we rejoice at the safe return
Of our " old boss" we cannot withhold cur
disapprobation Of the course he has been
permitted to take by the government. He
received his appointment as Purser from
Gen. jackson and after being away some
time he returns about 1885 and starts the
Raleigh Standard, sells that out and goes
we believe to Wisconsin, and starts pa.
per in some town out there-as soon as the
election is over he goes to sea and remains
abroad until in 1880, when he returns, and
while at Salisbury he commenced writing
as report says for the Western Caroinian,
leaving Salisbury we next hear of his dab
bling in politics in Ohio, and during all his
pcrigrinations through the country we new
er hear Of him resigning bis office, and at.
ter the election Of 1910 he goes to sea
again, and has now returned in time, and
if permitted by the government will again
act as political missionary" during the
canvass of lSi4. Mr.. White is a shrewd
calculating man and quite ready writer,
and no doubt Mr., Tyler will avail himself
of his services.

While the Calhounites in this section
are pretending TO be for either Of the per.
sons likely TO be brought forward as the
Loco Foco candidate for President-being
satisfied that either Calhoun, Van Buren,,
Johnson, Buchanan or Cass, will unite the
party-what an exhibition is presented in
Mr.. Calhoun's own State. There the press
come out decidedly and state that the South
and especially South Carolina, will not sup.
port Mr.. Van Buren,. Some OF them even
90 so far as to state that they never had
any faith IN Mr.. Van Buren, and his i'm
mediate partizans, and as far as the mere
choice Of men is concerned, they would
prefer Henry Clay. Hear what the
Charleston Mercury says Of Mr.. Van Buren,:
The Editor Of the Hartford Times, one
of the leading organs Of Mr.. Van Buren, in
New England, had the impudence to pub.
lish the following paragraph in his paper
some weeks ago.
THAT the Wings may go for Mr.. Cal.
houn or ans other man IN preference 10
Mr.. Van Buren,, is not unlikely the same
spirit that led them 10 prefer Aaron Burr
to Mr.. Jefferson, De Witt Clinton 10 Mr.
Madison, and that has prompted them or
all occasions TO take up, as an alternative
any other person than the known choice
of the Democratic party, still ac,uate:
them
The implication is plain, that Mr.. Cal
houn and his friends occupy the same rela
ton to the Democratic Party now, tina
Aaron Burr Mr.. Van Buren's patron anC
intimate friend, by the way occupied tC
Mr.. Jefferson formerly, and the Federal
lists, with De Wit Clinton, TO MIR. Madi
son in 1872. The Washington Spectator
pins the Down Easter to the wall, and We
beg the reader TO remark and remember
the fact that the man, rho in 1912, in N,

From every indication, We have no doub

The vote was taken by rising-three men,

I@Our latest news from Mexico
does not inform us whether Santa Anna
had accepted the terms upon which the
Campachanos offered him peace. II is
however believed that he will prosecute
the war as long as he can rase the c
10 do SO. The New Orleans Picavune
OF the Both nit. remarks that the politi-
cal affairs of Mexico look more and more
threatening. The coolest headed mer-
chants are expecting a revolution, more
bloody than Mexico has yet seen. The
times are so critical that men hold con-
verse with each other with little show
ofconfidence, SO fearful are all that an
unguarded or impetuous remark NAV be
reported to Santa Anna, whose spies
swarm through the country. The fact
that this military dictator is shortly COM
ing down to his hacienda of Manga del
Clavo, leads many to believe that Vera
Cruz will be the stage upon which will
be played the first scenes of the expect
ed revolution.
