WIRING IN, AND THEN WIRING
OUT"

l..
! When the news of the Polk nomination
was announced, all through the North there
appeared to be surprise, disappointment ana
bitter agony among the cohorts of VanBuren-
ism. They shouted out treason, desertiou.
intrigue, and foul play, in the Convention
They could not at first comprehend how
such an obscure, undisinguished, and unlau-
relied, individual as James X. Polk, who
had neither in the field or in Legislative coun-
ellis rendered any eminent service to his
cOuntry,-a mere partisan politician, of third
rate abilities should supercedo their adorcd
Van Buren,. There was racing and chacing
and ranting and roaring through the long
line OF expectants at the North. more
clamorous set of people never were scared mp
than the Van Burenites in this section, when
the fatal nomination reached their ears. But
all at once the mighty surges oftheir indgua-
ton become calm and unruffled. Polk,
annexation, free trade, and all are swallowed
without murmur, and the disjointed aud
mutilated democratic party are again appa-
rently united, and shouting PoK g. Dallas,
to the top of their utterance. And, OH was
there ever such a glorious ticket, and such
a perfect wildfre ofjoy to think how will
triumph.
But there are more things in the world than
are dreampted of in some peoples philos-
ophy. 1t is but deceitful calm on the sur
face, which the leaders and journals have at
tempted to produce, to preserve the party
from either ACKNOWLEDGMENT or humiliation
The SHOWS above are no certain sign that
there are not fires beneath them. People viii
not abandon their long cherished principles
Of protection and opposition to the slave pow
er at the bidding of leaders, whose adhesion
TO an undisguised and unqualified Free Trade
and Annexation candidate, shows TO what
depth ofhypocraey they condescend, land what
a base surrender of the interest, of twenty
millions of their countrymen they can mako
for mere party purposes and personal aggran-
dizement. Multitudes will desert them in
the Presidential canvass, and the almost Ger
tain loss Of the North and Middle, as the in
dcations now are,will not be counterbalanced
by the accession Of single Wing State at
the South, unless louisiana may be of that
number. They may play the game of brag.
or whistle to keep up their courage. They
may talk about the the unanimity and enthu-
siasm of the panty, and the terror and confu-
sion ofcooneiy. But defeat is stamped upon
the the very forehead of she De'nOcrdcy"-
1t is doomed by the people for the wrongs
which for twelve long years it has committed
against their greatest dearest interests, and
for the still more outrageous wrongs they are
bent upon perpetrating by the destruction OF
protection and the base attempt to strengthen
and perpetuate Slavery forever in this Union

BUFFALO, June IIth, 1914.

GENTLEMEN Il have this moment receiT-
ed your kind and hattering invitation to at
tend a meeting of the Wings of Vermont at
Burlington, on the Goth lust, 10 respond to
the nominations of CLAY and FRELINGHUY-
SEN, recently made at the Baltimore Conyen-
tion,and regret that my previous engagements
are such that it will be cut of my power to
comply with your request. But / know of
no State which il wouid give me more pleas
ure to visit. Though am myself native Of
New York, yet, ny father was born under
the shadow of the Green Mountains. and his
childish ears were saluted with the thunders
Of war, that proclaimed the deadly conflict
for liberty, which resulted i'll The triumph Of
General Stark at Bennington. The stirring
events that followed the Revolution in that
State, are engraved upon my memory, and
their traditionary history was The romance of
my Juvenile years. But if these scenes at
tracted my boyish fancy and won my childish
admiration, the steady and enlightened de-
mocracy ofthe Wings Of that distinguished
State, has called forth the deep veneration of
my maturer years. The glorious Wings of
Vermont have never yet 'bowed the knee to
Baal." Their democracy exhibits verdure
as perpetual as that of her own mountains,
and stability as immovegble as her everlast-
ing hills. True TO themselves and the Union,
know they will give hearty response TO the
nominations of CLAY and FRELINGHUY-
sen, and that we may look with confidence
to the triumphant success of the Wing ticket
in that State this fall.

FROM NAUVOO.
DEATH OF JOE s. HIRAM SMITH,


The Cincinnati Gazette of July 3rd, an
nounces, on the authority of the St. Louis
Gazette and the Quincy Herald Of June 28th,
SMITH.
1t appears that Gov. Ford Of Illinois, left
Carthage on the 9th uIt. with 120 soldiers
for the purpose Of taking possession of the
NauvoO legion and their arms. This was
done and the Governor left Nauvoo and en-
camped about miles from the city.
About the same time an attempt was made
by Mormon to break the guard placed a.
round the Carthage prison, in which Joe and
Hiram were confined.
A general confusion ensued in the crowd
around the Jail. Joe and his Mormon fellow
prisoners, it seems, had provided themselves
with pistols, and commenced firing upon the
guard within. He then attempted TO escape
from the window, when hundred balls en-
tered his body, and he fell lileless corpse.
His brother Hiram shared the same fate.
Richards, a leading Mormon, was badly
wounded. There our intelligence ends
what took place after this, God only knows.
Mormons Immediately left for NauvoO TO car
ry the news of the death Of the Prophet. 1t
is feared that the Mormons at Nauvoo will be
so exasperated as to exterminate the Cover
nor and his small force.
The Boreas brought down most of the wo-
men and children from Warsaw. 1t is feared
their town is in ashes before this.
Our citizens, says the Quincy Herald were
aroused this morning BY the ringing of bells
and call to arms. Our three independent
companies are already in marching order,
Maj. Flood has ordered out the militia of this
regiment, and the steamer BOreas is waiting
to convey them to the scene'of action.
There is no knowing where this dreadful
affair will end. Many have expressed fears
that our city is in danger. because most of
the Warsaw families have taken refuge here
but we believe there is no danger, we are
too far from the scene of action.
Messengers have just left for Hannibal,and
the towns below, for the purpose of arousing
the Alissourians. The excitement in our
city is intense, and the anxiety TO hear the
fate of Gov. FOrd-and bis men is very great.

and whenever have been in public life they
were among the kindest and most liberal of
my constituents.
+ | cannot doubt that this will be safisfacto-
ry apology for declining the invitation with
which you have honored me.
You are pleased to intimate. gentlemen,
that you desire my coming to Vermont on ac-
count of the sentiments | hold and the course
pursue in regard TO the questions arising
out of Slavery. ] have not the honor to know
your worthy Governor, John Mattocks; but
| beg leave to say that | have studied his
course, and that of the Wing party in Yer
mont,-that they are worthy the intelligence
and patriotism Of the State and explain to
my satisfaction the cause of the steady. undi-
minished brilliancy of the Star of the North.
Re-nominate JoHN MAIToCKs, or if for his
convenience, or the public interest, it be ex
pedient to change, then nominate some such
true liberty-loving Wing, and renew your
declaration that the extension of Human Sla-
very is at war with the principles ofthe Wing
party, and that the Negro Emancipation is
among the great. works TO which that party is
devoted land you may rest assured that the echo
from the Green Mountains will be the most
cheering sound that ever reached the Sage Of
Ashland.
Gentlemen, accept my profound and
grateful acknowledgements for the words of
respect and kindness you have addressed TO
me. They add to the pleasure with which |
look ont upon the bustling world around me,
and to the last moment Of consciousness they
will be remembered as among the the eviden-
ces of the liberality and kindness of my fell
low men. l am with very great respect,
