Democratic triumph in the State Of Maine.

Democratic triumph in the State OF Maine.
This is the greatest Waterloo defeat the federal
lists have yet received. Anderson, the Democratic
candidate for Governor will be elected by plural
ity over Robinson, the Federal candidate, of be-
tween and 10000 votes, and by majority over
both Wings and Abolitionists of about 5000. It
is in vain for the Wings to say now that they
didn't expect to AIRY the State of Maine. Let
them shew US Wing calculation in print made
during the last month or so in which Maine is no,
put down as certain for Clay, and then we'll talk
about the matter Well and nobly has the Pine
Tree State done, and richly does she deserve the

THE POLES.

We have quite suficiency Of poles in our
village. There are three ssYoung Hickories. 3
and one Wing pole; the latter is a pine pole.

side of the ssstreamer' is sClay. Protection

As it is possible case that our readers are
not all informed as to the precise meaning Of
the above mottos, we win briefly explain
them as we understand them. First of aPro-
lection to home Industry AS everybody
knows, protection means, an act passed bv
Congress for the benefit Of cotton manufactur-
ers, sugar planters, and iron-masters. These
classes, seeing that their prirate fortunes can
50 easily be enhanced in that way, and filled
tooyerfowin g with patriotic devotion to their
beloved country, very modestly ask that eueru
other interest may be taxed for their benefit -!
< Protection is all that they ask, to enable
them to sell their fellow citizens the products
of their labor much loaeey than they could be
imported. And as they do not wish to nav
less for the dysstufs which they use, they do
not ask any protection on those afticles!! How
gerry patriotic-how very charitable Who
does not see the fallacy Of the doctrine, that
manufacturers need protection, to enable them
to sch cheaper to the people than they could do
without it?-and who is SO stupid as not to
perceive that the contrary is true-that by

THE TARIFF.

We believe, and think we can prove.
that Mr.. Clay was opposed to the
passage of the Tariff act ofl842, and
desired his friends to vote against it.
We assert, and Of course zoe cam
prone, that after the expiration of the
last Tariff law, (by limitation on the
3Oth June, 1912, it was the desire of
Mr.. Clay that all duties should be laid
without regard to the protection of any
domestic article whatever. The In.
telligencer dare not deny this and cali
upon US for our witness to prove what
we have asserted. If called upon his
name shall be given, and then he may
answer for himself to any interrogatory
put to him by the "Whigs.''
As for the Tariff act of 1912. We.
who were here on the ground, and
witnessed the whole proceeding, asser-
ted at the time, and have asserted ever
since, that the bill was passed in both
Houses By the casting rotes of DEMO
crdfs. We have always declared, as
to our readers must remember, that the
Democrats in both Houses, the Tariff
OF 1912 must ever be attributed.

twenty-one Democrats voted for this
blll-and it passed by a poor majority

HE DISCUSSION ON MoNBAy.-The citi-
zens of this county were addressed on Monday
last BY Mr.. 1idball, Of Winchester, Mr.. Allen,
Of Moorefeld, p Williams, Jr., and G. B.
Samuels, upon the great questions upon which
the approaching presidential election is to turn,
viz: National Bank, Tariff, Texas, SC. 1t
would be q work Of supererogation in US to give
detailed account Of the speeches, as every
man who has heard political discussion in
the last twelve months would only hear the
same subjects reiterated, relative to all those
great questions already named Suffice it to
say, then, that the speakers acquitted them
selves with much credit on the occasion. The
whole affair was conducted in dignifed way.
Everybody were very well pleased with the
performances of the gentlemen who spoke up
on the Democratic side; and the Coons appear
ed to manifest their entire appreciation Of thar
of their champions.
We have heard the declaration made here
more than once, that any thing in the shape
OF argument before the people Of this county,
was Of no avail-totally improbable
they could not appreciate the force of argument,
however simple. But we think the people of
this country can very easily discriminate be-
tween a coon and that DEMOCRACY to which
they have been 50 long and 50 ardently devo-
ted-JEFrERsoNIAN DEMOCRACY. The rea-
son. we suppose, why the ss7snth Legion is
50 abominably ignorant in the eyes of all good
coons, Is that they win not sit at the feet of
their lido, Henry Clay and sing songs out of the
book with the Yaller Kivcs.''
