THE WHEELING GATHERINGS.

THE WHEELINGsGAT
Both political parties had great outpourins OF
their friends in Wheeling on Thursday, the l2ti
inst. 1t has never been our fortune to witness
as many people assembled in one place as we
witnessed on that day. As usual, both parties
claimed to have majority present We were
confidently assured by gentleman OF the first
responsibility in Wheeling, that the democrats
outnumbered the wings in procession about 300
We were also told that the ground occupied by
the democrats on Thursday, was the same occupied
by the wings at their great mass meeting in 1910;
and we were assured by citizens of our county,
that there appeared to be quite as many in atten-
multitude at the democratic meeting as there
were wings in 1910, when they claimed to have
from 20 to 80 thousand.
The democrats were addressed by Major A.
Devazac, the aid of Gen. Jackson, at the battle Of
New Orleans, by Gov. Pope, of Kentucky; Pat
rick Collins, Of Cincinnati; Mr. Johnson, of Va.
and others. We never listened to more chaste,
eloquent and patriotic address than that delivered
by Maj. Devazac. Gov. Pope stated as a singular
fact that the only two wings out of the eleven
from the State of Kentucky, who voted for the
present tariff law, were now going for Polk and
Dallas-these two being T. F. Marshall and him
self The way Patrick Collins gave il to the
Native American coons was a caution to these
,cid parmints,
The wings, as we understand, had for their
speakers, that Judas, VIM. C. Rives that man,
Andrew Stewart, whom our own John B Weller
licked up SO clean; Mr. Summers, OF Virginia;
Mr.. Russell, of CadIz, who tried to murder the
editor of the democratic paper of that place; and
a host of small fry song singers. While at the
whig stand in the evening, we noticed that there
were about 80 persons listening to the speech of
some gentleman under the awning, while the
balance of the crowd were listening to the songs
of some coons on the steps of the court house,
about rail riding a gentleman of Steubenve
should he dare visit Wheeling; but we guess they
thought that thing of rail riding was two handed
game, and wisely concluded to let it alone, and
it's well they did.
One thing we remarked while the whg pro-
cession was moving along the streets, that the
steps of both the banks OF Wheeling were perfect
jam, whether it was the desire to be in the vicinity
of money, or TO get situation to see the crowd,
we leave for others to Judge.

AMERICANS, DO YOU HEAR THIS ?-The
London Atlas, the organ of the tory
party in England, in an article on "the
American presidency" says, "as re-
CARDS English interests Ue look upon the
p,obable return of Mr.. Cldy ,ciM mir-
ed fee, ,ings, and with Mr.. Clay as pres
ident, and the whig party in the ascen-
dant in Congress, ne Shoua feel much
more comfortable in regard TO our for
cign retatioas, and might look forward
with more confidence to the adjustment
of the awkward questions respecting
the Oregon fruntier, which. fneg elected,
may at some future period lead to seri,
Gus embarrassments."
Here we have it in full. The Brit
iSh Clayites in America are in full con-
fdence with the British tories in Eng
land, and their only wish appears to
be to elevate Clay to the presidency
in order 20 an amicable adjustment of
the Oregon question, or, in other words,
let ENGLAND hare IT,
If the American people do not wish
to have their necks brought again under
the iron yoke of England. they will at
once see to it that Henry Clay, aided by
MS British friends abroad, is not placed
in the presidential chair. Look to it,
Democrats.- Dedtam Mss. Dem.

A HoRRlD SENrIMENT.-lt is assert,
ed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, that Ma,
lhan Guiford, editor Of the Cincinnati
Atlas, the leading Clay paper in that CT
ty, declared he would rather that all
the women in New Orleans had been
violated, than that Gen. Jackson had
proclaimed martial law.-Such is the
spirit Of Clay Federalism.

Export Of goods from Great Britain.

In lS43, the figures show still greater decline
inthe exports to The United States and an increase
TO the north Of Europe. The trade in that quarter
has become steady and settled into a regular
exchange of corn for goods. This would have
been the case with the United States, and the
5000 900 bushels sent thither in 1910, would have
increased to 100000 in 1874, had the trade
been permitted to grow. The result of SO large
an export would have been to raise the price of
flour from $4 ,25, itspresen price, to 30, and have
impaired great wealth to the farmers. The whole
product of wheat in the United States is equal to
100000 barrels of flour; by the export of
1000, 900 barrels, the average price of the whole
will be advanced ~, equal to 4s, ,00O, 900 in the
products OF the farmers. Congress has, however,
chosen 10 confne the trade to the ''home Market
and instead Of an export Of .s94 900 barrels of
flour as in 1910, there were but s4l ,474 barrels
exported in 1913 The remaining 1 900 900 bar
res remaining in the market has been the real
cause Of the present low prices. It is in vain
to say that England would not buy, because she
actually did buy as much in 1S43 as she did in
is4o, but she gave goods for it in Ewope. 1t
was the United States that refused to sell, by
refusing to take goods in pay. The farmer was
sacrificed 10 the manufactured, and he cannot
prosper until his produce freely seeks the markets
of the world in exchange for other products Of
labor"

Tn Io4U, the foreign corn trade Of England was
becoming large, but the tariff of 1871, by check
ing the trade of this country, stopped the demand
for flour, because, instead Of paying the United
States for wheat in specie, a mutual trade had
grown up. by which it could be obtained in the
north of Europe for goods. The progress Of this
export is seen as follows.

THE ELECTIONS.

A late number of the Indiana State Sentinel as
sures its readers that the democratic party have the
majority ofthe popular vote. The majority isput
down at 2l29; last year the democratic majority
was 2o33. Notwithstanding, this the wings have
majority on joint ballot in the legislature. The
Sentinel says the wings have so ge1ynaadered the
State that takes 500 votes TO elect democrat
while il takes only O6l TO elect whig. This ex-
plains why is that the wings have majority on
Joint ballot

MAINE.

The following is the latest news from Maine, the
returns from every quarter are cheering TO the
democracy: ."-' '~ s
| We are indebted to the Boston Post, the Maine
| Age and the Maine Democrat, all democratic pa
pers, for slips contaningreturns OF the Maine cleo
ton; but we are still more indebted to the Boston
Atlas, (whig,) which ran an express from Maine
to Boston, for returns which it did not send to us,
but which we take from the Baltimore Clipper.
The Atlas publishes returns from l6I towns, in
cuding the whig portion OF the State, which add
up as follows for governor:
Anderson (dem) 2S,8i3
Robinson (whig) PATTI
Scattering 3,fS9
The returns in the same towns for governor four
years ago, when the whig candidate resolved
majority Of sixty odd over the democratic, but was
not elected, owing to ninety-odd scattering votes,
was as follows:
Kent (whig) 3O,6s2
Fairfield (dem } 27,599
The democratic gain so far, compared with the
governors election Of 1910, 7,l49. If compared
with the presidential election of 1910, when Har
rison beat Van Buren, Alb in the State, the demo-
cratic gain would be little more, but we do rot
think it worth while to go into any very nince cal
culatons, as it is probable the democratic majority
over all will be near 900, and over the whig eau
didate between nine and ten thousand.
Dunlap (dem.) is reelected to Congress from
the Cumberland district by about ! 200 majority;
and Severance (whg) is elected from the strong
whig dlsrict-we forget what it is called-by
about 400 majority 1t is not likely that the
wings viii elect any other Congressman in Maine
at this trial; nor is it probable that they will elect
another at the next trial The democrats willprob-
ably fail 10 eject in two or three strong democratic
districts, owing TO their running double tickets. t
We guess the editor of the Boston Atlas will
not run another express to Maine this fall Ifhe
is the man we take him to be, we will venture to
say that he would rather have seen sea serpent
l6l feet long, than the returns his messengers
brought from the l6l towns. This is only the be-
ginning of the end He will see worse sights be-
fore the fall is over, without sending for them.

cratic gain of 7,979 which is 1895 for each con-
gressonal district in the State. The whole of the
States elect 22s members Of Congress. II the

Their comparative loss in Vermont has been great

and yet they are boastng of their victory in it,
They are so glad to get majority anywhere, that
they never seem to think Of making comparisons.
The wings have reelected their three members
