AN GOLD FASHIONED BANK

The reader will recollect Mr.. Clay's exertions
while in Congress during the extra session, to re-es-
tablish an "old fashioned u. S. Bank" and it will
be borne in mind that the great disappointment ex-
perlenced in consequence OF his failure to accomplish
his ends gave rise his sptefu malignant, person
al attacks upon the Executive OF the nation. Let US
see the character of this beloved institution which
whggery holds close to It's heart that II nights 10

And yet in of all this ruin and msery-regard-

Mr. Clay came to the extra session Of the 21lh
Congress with Wing majOrities in both Houses OF
Congress. He himself was put at the head OF the
most important committee Of the Senate, and was
known to have been consulted in the formation OF
every other committee HIS personal and political
friend made Speaker of the House, aud OF course
his voice decisive 10 the arrangement of all the
House Committees.
The Congress may be said to have been purely his,
and indeed a great part of the Cabinet too. Thus
armed with more than regal power what did Mr..
Clay accomplish for his country What did he pro-
duee as the result of his power and his skill Dust
aud ashes dust and ashes upon every interest and
every occupation in the land

UNION AND TRIUMPH,

The old phalanx stands firm The Democratic
party is no longer divided. Discord has fled from
the camp and the council, and union sits perched
upon our banners. John Tyler, with a magnanimous
action which endears him 10 the true Democracy,
has yielded 10 the common good and retired from a
contest, where his presence as a candidate might
eopardiZe all We present his manly. sincere aud
patfouc leter 10 Oui readers another part OF the
paper, and commend to their earnest consideration
Their appreciation II must necessarily have and that
Of every honest man.
For ourselves, We have but one course to pursue
course which renders the most intense pleasure.
We are enlisted heart and soul IN the war for the
success OF Democratic measures A. candidate
who Is for the time being, the incarnation of those
measures, who IS of high character for integrity as
man, rectitude a. politician, and ability as states

breath OF Islander has left the spotess mirror Of his
reputation undimmed by a tarnish His enemies,

the sanctuary Of the dead, and with ruffian hands
have raked up the Wondering ashes Of his ancestors
to ind a cause Tor censure Their attempts have
tailed but storm OF anger, arising out OF the ndig-
nan hearts OF honest men, hovers over the heads of
the offenders. This storm has gathered new force
from the happy union now consummated-and by
November, will fall IN thunder, a terrible token Of
the justice Of American freemen
To-day marks tie commencement of a new fight
Disrust and doubt hayeyanished-fesr has fed from
among us-we are one-one ia our des gn-one In
our desires-and one IN our determination. As a
token Of our newborn zeal We will show the Wings
a gathering Of twenty thousand fre.men ia the
mighty Park 10 hail this union with rapture and sp-
plau'e. They shall hear the shouts OF men, and the
sound OF cannon 60 up 10 the ,kes and their hearts
shall quake and their frames trembe with the terror

BATTLE BETWEEN A ROBIN AND SoURREL.-A
few days since, says the Springfield Republican, a
red squirrel was seen on maple tree, standing by
the house of Mr.. Seth Smith, in West Springfield;
he had been there but few minutes before war was
declared against him by old robin, who seemed TO
claim the right OF possession. As the battle waxed
hotter and hotter, the squirrel ran down the tree and
undertook TO make his escape along a range Of ma
pies by the way side but finding the bird in hot
pursuit. he would turn occasionally and put himself
on the defensive, by showing his ivory to the
ragged bird. He ran up and down several trees
with the enemy at his heels, sometimes striking
with his paw, and then resuming his retreat. AT
last he ran upon shed, and found safety in an
aperture through the boards. As the robin wa,
not accustomed to such hiding places, she could
not follow. During this contest which lasted
but short time, the most pltiful cries were heard
from the poor squirrel, who sometimes was Obliged
to transport the robin upon his back, her taons
were firmly planted there while she was brandishing
her beak about his eyes and ears evidently to the in
fiction Of no small degree of liberation and pain

J. DUDLEY'S STATEMENT.
J. Dudley Esq, a Senator IRON Franklin and
Owen counties being called upon, made the fol-
lowing statement on the floor Of the Senate One
day, in January 1925, +. r. Blair into
the Senate Chamber, seated himself near me- and
inquired my opinion on the resolution passed request
ing our members of Congress to vote for General
Jackson as President oil the Unlted otates Mr.. Is.
desired that would write letters requesting the mem
bers and particularly ID. White, from this district, TO
consult with MIR. Clay and vote as he might desire.
To this ! objected, and gave my reasons therefor.
Mr. b. appeared surprised that ! should raise any
objections, particularly as was opposed to the
buttons. He said that number of members Of both
houses who voted for the resolutions, had written
such letters and that could do il with more propr-
ETY.. He said if Mr. White could be induced to
| vote for Mr. Adams he would obtain the vote of Ken
lucky and with il the votes of most of the Western
States, which would elect him. in which case, Mr..
Clay would obtain the appointment of Secretary of
State. then inquired no" that fact had been
cerianed1 His answer was that letters had been
| ceiyed from gentlemen of undoubted veraciiy at
Washington city, containing such information that
might rely with confidence on that statement. fe-
piled that although was opposed TO tn. resolutions,
| had no doubt they contained the truth and there

of Congress to believe otherwise. further protest
