From the Madisonian.
The Last OF the WhigS.

With the final overthrow of Mr.. Clay,
which will take place in about fortnight, we
may chronicle the termination of the existence
OF the spurious Wing party. The name of
this modern party was assumed merely as
mask; there was not sentiment of its foun-
ders in common with the genuine Wings ofthe
Revolution. The true Wings felt, and resis-
ted to the death, the aggressions Of naughty
England; the false Wings Of the present day,
at least a great many of the Wing leaders, are
the faithful advocates Of British policy, and
the relentless foes Of all who adhere in good
faith 10 the spirit of the Declaration of Inde-
dependence.
A treaty is made with :he German powers,
by which the chief products of our farmers
and planters are to be admitted into those
countries almost free of duty. Britannia, as
piring to be sole arbtress of the world, objects
to it; refusing TO become party to the treaty
herself, she protests against other nations en-
Ijoyinp the commercial and other advantages
Of such convention; like the dog in the man.
ger, she will neither eat herself, nor allow 9TH
ers to eat. She protests against the arrange
ment, and calls upon the American Senate;
through her ministerial organs, to reject the
treaty. The modern Wings, having MAORI
ty in the Senate, most humby and submits
sively respond to the call. The treaty is re-
jected. Thousands of industrious American
farmers and planters are injured, deeply injur-
ed, to an incalculable extant-but Great Bril-
tain is grahfed. With the American Senate,
or rather the Wing Senate, to execute her de-
crees, Britannia can dictate to the world, and
establish any kind Of a commercial monopoly
she may be graciousIy pleased to fancy.
The rejection Of the Treaty of Annexation,
was another instance of the subserviency of
fhe Wing leaders to the policy of Great Bril-
tain. That Government desires first to ruin
the producers of cotton and sugar in the Uni
ted States, by cherishing hostile competition
on on borders; next, she desires to ruin our
commerce and manufactures, by transporting
the raw material to market in British vessels,
from the rival nation, and by making Texas
an enormous depot, whence her manufactured
articles can be struggled into the United States
and sold for less price than the American
manufacturer can afford to make them. There
fore the Tory members of Parliament, and the
Tory presses, call upon the Wing Senators TO
reject the Texas Treaty. 1t is done. Modern
Whiggery is obedient to British monarchy.
And so with the debts of the States. John
Quincy Adams has even gone so far as to
threaten the indomitable People of the West,
with British chastisement, if the debts were
not only assumed, but paid. And to Crafty
the British aristocracy in this matter. also, we
see many of the leading Wings advocating
the assumption of the debts of the States.
| The grasping, murderous conquests of Great
Britain in India and China, are applauded in
the American Congress by leading Wings
Tn short, no opportunity has been omitted by
the modern Wings, to prove their devotion to

letter from Wing Of Saginaw county, as
surfing me that such would be the case:
fyou will believe what have stated, you
will say my course is right; repeat to you, ]
am not under the slightest party pledge: !.
have received letters from some of you
since l came here, evincing disquietude, at
the effect of my position. The Wings see the
influence of their outcry on you, and they are
rebuilding it: fyou yield to it, we will have
enough of such oLteties. We will be confoun-
ted and routed by the mere clamor of our ad-
versaries. If | were to give way to it now,
and yield to the Suggestions of the alarmed a.

what has been the result Of this yielding, in
the late election in Pittsburg: Our friends
were alarmed at false and preposterous is
sue, gotten up by our seducers. They will
never be without such alarms, till they show
that they have set themselves, like adamant;
against every such device.

say, be reassured. Give me your confidence

Alleged Outrage ON the american Flag by q
British officer:

The Journal of Commerce, Of, Rio Janerio,,
contains protest from Capt: P: C. Dumas,
of the brig Cyrus of New Orleans, from which
it appears that bis. vessel, was boarded off Ca.
binda, June Q, 1874, by Capt: Bosanquet. Of
her Britannia Majesty's. brig Albert, Capt.
Bosanquet accompanied BY one of his officers
and negro attendant, forced his way into tn.
cabin Of the Cyrus, the three frampling under
foot the flag Of the United States; after search.
ing the cabin for the briggs papers, they came
on deck attempted to obtain forcible, posses.
sion of the log book, but gave way when Cap:
tain Dumas ordered his ther, TO arm themselves
and protect their rights. The British Cap
tain then returned to the cabin; broke open
Captain Dumas's trunk, took out the briggs
papers and fetfa ned them: Captain d. i'm.
mediateIy abandoned his vessel, his crew 90
ing with him; leaving, everything op board.
He now presents the facts to the u. States
Government for theit action in the premises.
We should state that the British Captain re-
fused to show his authority, thus violating the
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain relative to the right Of search.
The British government will Undoubtedly
indemnify the owners Of the Cyrus for this
outrage, to which their attention will be prompt
ly directed by the Government Of the United
States. Captain Dumas does not state wheth-
er his vessel was fitted out for the slave trade
or any unlawful traffic.

Losses of the last Four Years,

The husbandmen of the United States are
losing money by millions under the present
state Of things: We ask our readers to look
at the following article from the New Hamp-
shire Patriot, summing up the loss sustained
this year upon four commodities alone
Four of the principal articles of agrcultu~
raj Proddce in New Hampshire are beet, pork,
butter, and cheese. Let us see how the pri-
ces of these articles have been affected by the
Federal tariff. We will compare the value of
the beef, pork, butter, and cheese in 1910, with
the same in 1914. The number of neat cattle
in New Hampshire in 1910, was 275,562 !;
swine, 12l ,674; and the value Of butter and
cheese in the same year, $l,63s,543. Sup.
pose that the 275, 562 neat cattle would aver
age $50 lbs. each, which would make &c.
OLA barrels of beef. This, at s144 per bar
rel. the price of that year, would amount to
$89o,2O3. The 12l ,674 swine, would aver
age about $50 each-making 152,0Ss Barrels
Of pork, which, at $l5, the price Of lS4O,
would amount to $2,28l 400. The value OF
the beef, pork, butter and cheese Of New
Hampshire, in 1910, then was as follows:
Beef, 62O,O14 bbls. at $143, $500, 1908
Pork, l52, O88, at SIS, 2,2sI, ago
Butter and cheese, 1858, 54s

The Rev. John Brown, Of Hadding,on. the
well Known author of the Self-Interpreting
Bible, was a man Of singular bashfulness.-
In token of the truth Of this statement, need
only state that his couitship lasted seven years.
Six years and a half passed away, and the
Rev: gentleman had got no further forward
than he had been the first six days. This
state Of things became intolerable; step in
advance must be made, and Mr.. Brown sum-
moned all his courage for the deed. Janet,
said he as they sat one nightin solemn silence:
"we've been acquainted now for six years an
mair, and Eve ne'er gotten kiss YET; dye
think l might take one, ma bonnie girl 7''-
"Jast as you like John, only be becoming and
proper Witt" ''Snrely, Janet, we'll ask bles'
sing"
File blessing was asked-the kiss was Ia
ken, and the worthy divine. perfectly over
powered with the blissful sensation, mos: rap
turously exclaimed.
30, woman! But il is gtsdc-we'll return
Monks.''
Six months made the pious couple man and
wife, and. added his descendant, who humor-
onsly told the tale, happier couple never
spent long and useful life together.

The editor of the Boston Post thinks if Mr..
Clay shouldn't be elected President, his epis-
tolary exploits may yet make the fortune of
some industrious compiler. When collected
and numbered, they would appear somewhat
in this way:
The Mrs. Hutchcraft Blanket Letter;
The Cooked Hat Letter;
The Cologne Letter.;
The various Clay Club Letters
The Young Ladies Bedqnilt Letter;
The Soft Letter to the Missouri Hards;
The Clay Silk Handkerchief Letter;
The deep interest in the Latter Day Saints
Letter;
The Kid Glove Letter;
The Cassius Marcellus Abolition Repudia-
ting Letter;
Letter to Cassi6s softening the same;
The Ash Stick CT by my own hand Letter ;
The Texas Letter; the Anti-Texas Letter;
Tariff and Anti-Tariff Letters medley;
The Anti-Proteetive Agricultural Letter +;
The Mississippi Magnolia Letter, &c.
These, with some productions of a more tragi-
cal character, would form volume of thTii-
ling interest, and link the author withhis lands
language for some years, at least, after the
close of his career as a statesman.

"The contrast presented in this table de-
serves to be studied. How comes it = For
whose benefit? In 1910, the Government was
in the hands Of Democratic administration.
The next year, new order Of n.en with new
measures, assumed the control of the public
affairs. Have their measures been conducive
of the prosperity Of our people? Look at the
effect exhibited in the foregoing table: In
four articles alone, the farmers ofNew Hamp-
shire have experienced, since 1910, in four
years Of Federal misrule, de,d loss Of seven
millions one hundred and seventy three thou
sand four hundred and thirty-eight dollars.
"But this picture, dark as it is, is not half
painted. If we had time to pon: out and add
the increased duty which the farmer pays on
salt, molasses, cotton, and woolen cloths,
glass, iron atehtIals of almost every kind, on
every thing, in a word, which he buys. and
the consequent increased price which he in
ours, we should fail in ability to portray the
truth. Darker and darker colors would have
to be added to the picture. Plundered in the
increased price of what he buys, plundere1
in the price Of what his labor produces to sell,
having his ability to pay diminished as his
wants increase, will he tamely submit to in
jury and injustice like this!"

British policy and British interests, in dero-
CATION of the interests OF their own country
men.
But Mr.. Clay is the last of the Wings, and
his end is nigh at hand. Indeed he seems to
have had a presentiment of his approaching
political demise, if we may Judge from his
CONSERVATION lately, as evinced by his inco-
herent acts and desperate shifts. He was first
opposed to the tariff of 1912, because Presi-
dent Tyler would not sanction Distributions;
and all his immediate Wing partisans in Con-
gress voted against the bill. A year after
wards he was in favor of the tariff, and aban-
doned his Compromise principle. This lost
him friends of the South, and he never did en-
joy she confidence in the North for having
framed the Compromise bill, in the first in
stance. At first he was opposed to the annex
alton of Texas unqualihedly; next he was in
favor of it ''personally," with certain quali6-
cations; then he was only in favor of it in a
certain contingency, which he said could new
er happen; and lastly he was opposed to it,
come what might, for ever and ever. Thus,
even on this question, he has forfeited the con-
fdence of both North and South. Then a.
gain, his kinsman Cassius, had ''his thanks
for endeavoring to wheedle the Liberty men
into his support. Upon this being found out,
he writes to his cousin that he is about to lose
Kentucky, and that he is represented in the
South as being an aboitionist-buthe declares
he is no such thing, and spurns the imputation.
Now the Liberty men take offence at this let
ter, and resolve not to touch him. But still,
Casslus, and Webster, and Greedy, his prime
friends. continue to beg and beseech the Lib
erty men to support him; and while all their
efforts prove abortive, the Sonth is becoming
still more indignant at their persistency!-
The proof is in Georgia. and will be found in
North Carolina.
Alas, disappointed man! All these spas
modic vacillations, are but the last dying
founderings Of the welI-hooked fish. They
convince rejecting men that the Wing candl-
date himself entertajns no hope. The precur-
sor success is an invincible steadiness of pur-
pose, which has not been manifested by the
Wing candidate, or Wing party, since the
spring conventions assembled in Baltimore.
The defeat Of Mr.. Clay will afford many
true men, who have committed the grand er'
ror Of becoming his partisans, an opportunity
of forming more agreeable, and certainly more
lucky patty associations.

from the Harrison (Texas) Times, which
may be regarded as containing little more
truth than the mere " ace understand OF

From the New York Evening Post
TIE CHARACTER OF HENRY CLAY DRAWN
BY MIR. wEBsTER,

Certain articles which appeared in the Ma
disonIan while Mr.. Webster was in the Cabi-
net, and which are ascribed to his pen, have
lately been republished by that journal. They
attack MIR. Clay with great severity, and draw
his political character in the darkest colors.-
That they were actually written by Mr.. Web
ster we have now no doubt, though there was,
some time since, newspaper denial of the
fact, which induced us for the time 10 suspend
our opinion of their authenticity.
Since that denial the articles have been re-
published and circulated under Mr.. Webster's
name. That gentleman has not thought fit, in
any manner, to deny that they were his own
productions even the whig prints have been
silent on the subject; the authenticity Of the
articles is tacitly admitted both by the reputed
author and his friends. The original manu-
script. in Mr.. Webster's hand writing, is now
at Richmond, in the hands of the editor of the
Richmond Enquirer.
Below is an article from the Washington
Globe, embodying one of these caustic papers,
and contrasting the character of Clay, drawn
| by Webster when he wrote anonymously and
in the free expression of his genuine opinions
and feelings, with the character drawn by him
lately in one of those speeches which lie is
paid for making at the public meetings of his
party.
Welament to see mind like Mr.. Webster s
employed in these degrading offices-a merce-
nary advocate of the man whom he despses,
bestowing praises which he knows to be un.
deserved, and contradicting opinions which
he enteTtains in his Utmost convictions, and
which he once uttered under the mask of an
anonymous writer, with all the energy of truth
and sincerity.
The principle of action which Mr.. Webster
imputes to Mr.. Clay. namely, determination
to be President Of the United States, is the
;rue one. He has no other; all his opinions,
all his public policy are summed up in this
This is the secret of all the contradictions in
his letters; this is the motive of ali the shifts
and donbings to which he resorts in his
pursuits of what he imagines to be public opin-
ion. Most true it is, as Mr.. Webster says
that she has promulgated opinions and con-
demned them, joined parties and forsaken
them, supported friends and abandoned them
all with the expectation of the presidency"
