INFORMATION WANTED -Considerabl inquiry
has been made in Fairfax as to the recent enthu-
siastc Tyler meeting at " Patrick Church." in
that county, an account of which was published
in the Madisonian. The officers Of the meeting,
and the committee who prepared the resolutions,
it is said are all, as yet in nubibus, and after a
strict search by the Sheriff for the aforesaid Pat
rick Church, his return is, non EST ,nDentus Un-
der these circumstances, therefore, it is impossi-
BILE for us to give the information solicited, and
we must turn the matter over 10 our friends in
the country. AS soon as Patrick Church can be
found, and the officers and committee men pub
lished in the Madisonan, "Gen. A. P. Kerey,'
and the rest, collected together, another Tyler
meeting will probably be held.-Aler. Gas.

u Mr.. Van Buren's Letter does not seem to
fit well upon the Locofoco party here. No Ian
guage, on the part of many, is base enough to
use towards him. "Trator to his party" ga
sort of Dandy Jim Letter." base ingrate," &c.
ar e common epithets applied to him; and, indeed,
no longer wear the regmentals of the old hero"
ard 9 that he has dsgraced him." Troubles,
they say, never come singly; and truly are they
worried:

And fool them if you can;
For you have got the genus,

THE AsSEMBLAGE AT BALTIMORE.

From every quarter of the country we hear of
moving masses of Whigs-he bone and sinew
of the country, as we'll as its mind and intelli-
the great gathering at that place, which we We
rily believe will as far exceed that of 1910, as
that assemblage exceeded any other before wit.
messed. We can liken this gathering of the
people to nothing we have been accustomed to
behold in modern days: it is like the assembling
Of the Jews of old at their Sacred City to cele-
brate the season Of the Passover; or like the
gathering of the Faithful by caravans from the
uttermost parts, at Mecca, though for different
object
There may be those who deem this immense
assembage a waste of time and money, and
think that more good could have been done with
the money and time thus spent, ifspent at home
and in the dissemination of information: if there
are, we do not agree with them. We have
been grati6ed to see and become acquainted with
80 many sterling men and true-hearted Wings
as it has been our lot to fall in with and well
come to our city within few days past-it
makes us feel proud of our country and of our
the hands of such men. We have rejoiced and
do rejoice that these leading men of the coun-
try-these generous, noble-hearted and manly
spirits, are thus brought together and in contact
and become acquainted with, and imbibe friend
ly regard, and in some instances, warm attach
ment to each other; 1t not only knits the party
together more closely, but binds the different
sections of our widespread and diversified coun-
try in the bonds of friendly feeling and mutual
respect. Prejudces are apt to be cherished to-
wards each other by strangers having supposed
conflicting interests but let them be brought to-
gether and become acquainted under favorable
circumstances, and these prejudices vanish, ina
glnary sectional lines disappear, and all become
as brethren Of one family, actuated by one mo-
tive, and having one hope and one destiny. Let
the North and the South the East and the West,
frequently meet in friendly intercourse, and for
the purpose of promoting the great principles of
liberty, and those measures of policy which give
prosperity to ALL and there will soon be no North,
no South, no East, no West, as contradistin-
gulshed from each other, but all will form a
Union, Whole, cone and indivisible" We
therefore say, let the masses come from every
quarter and mingle together in social and polti-
cal harmony; let individuals cultivate kindly
feelings towards each other, and, like the war
riors of old, exchange bucklers or swords, and
become perpetual friends; SO shall the Wings
De Knit together as band of brothers, ever rea-
ny 10 second and sustain all efforts TO promote
'ne great Interests, the honor and renown of
their country.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL so, 1914

Van BuroM's opinion of the present Tariff.
The letter published by the Richmond Enquirer places
this opinion record without equvocaon and is well
to keep it in mind
"ALBANY, Feb. %, l843.

DED DISAPPROBATION OF THE TARIFF ACT
OF THE LAST SESSION. AS WELL In RESPECT

LOG CABINs.-Said Loco to a Wing, "Well,
guess your log cabins have been pretty well
shattered by Captain Tyler" True" said the
Wing, "too true; he has knocked out SO much
of the thinking, that good many of the Loco
focos have crept in but they only want repairing
with CLAY, Of which we have the best kind, to
make them tight that no rats, Locos, nor other
vermin can find their way in, or, if they do, will
find them too hot for their comfort. CLAY Bugle.

OBITUARY--EXTRA.

1t is our painful duty to remind our readers OF
the city, and to notify those abroad, of the solemn
pledges recently made by the Hon. George c..
Dromgoole to his Locofoco friends at the Apollo
Hall, in Washington, and the fatal consequence
which has of course followed their forteiture.-
That l-stared gentleman, on the occasion refer
red to, solemnly pledged his life that the State Of
Virginia would give democratic majority of five
thousand at the April electons-that Goggin
would be beaten-and that Judge Bayly would
beat his opponent eight hundred votes in the Ac
comac district. The event having falsifed all
his predictions, the stake is of course forfeited,
and we feel authorised to pronounce Mr.. Drom.
goole detilnct We should hesitate in making
the melancholy announcement in reference to the
common herd of locofoco demagogues, who pledge
one thing'an intend another; but gentleman
of Mr.. DPS high character for candor and good
faith could never give such pledges lightly--he
is an honorable man." and therefore he is dead
man. Mr.. DIS melancholy fate will bring to the
mind of the Scripture reader The rash vow Of Jep-
tina, who, in view of some joyful event, pledged
himself to sacrifice the first living thing he met
on his return home--hs horror can be better con,
ceived than described, when, on approaching his
door, his own daughter ran out to meet him. But
we have no time to moralize. Mr.. ID. pledged
himself to forfeit his life, and therefore we pro-
nounce him arguendo dead man.
1t is understood that the obseques will be cele
brated on Thursday at II O'Clock, A. NJ, after
Mr.. Clay's troops of friends have left for Balti-
tmore the mournful ceremony will thus be per-
formed by the forlorn locofocracy with the quiet
unobtrusive decency which becomes the vanqush-
ed in paying the last tribute to their fallen lead
ders
We would fam believe that Mr. D. intended
merely to pledge his political life on the issue of
the election, but he being strict construcionst,'
we little hope of giving such turn to the af-
fair; however, if any friend of his can give the
least plausiblity to SO humane a construction Of
his words, we will take the greatest pleasure in
resuscitating the gentleman We sincerely trust
that his friends will set about arguing him back
into the breathing world Immediately, and as an
earnest of our humane feelings, we promise that
, the case shall lie open until O'Clock on We'd
nesday evening, when our paper goes to press !;
if they cannot put breath into him by that time he
must ego down TO the tomb of the Capulets" on
| Thursday, in conformity with the above notice.

. The following is an extract from the speech of
Mr.. Clay at Raleigh:
"The true test of the wisdom of measures is
experience. What is experience Our opponents
said that Protection would augment prices, and
dry up sources of revenue. Have prices risen
No They have constantly fallen. He here men,
toned an anecdote, which drew forth loud laugh
Ter, OF an Alabama demagogne who was denoun-
cling the Tariff, for taxing the shirt worn by the
man he was talking to 6 cents yard, and was
told in return by the man that he could not see
how that could be- since the shirt only cost 5 l-2
cents yard.
Are such questions never to be regarded as
settled I! Can you find no mode of settling them
Can any section of the Confederacy expect to have
government administered as that section alone
may wish! No. The spirit of compromise and
concession is the true spirit. 1t was the spirit
which animated those patriots who formed our
Constitution Those on my left think free trade
is the only true policy. Those on the right think
otherwise What is to be done All sections
fought to establish this glorious Confederacy. All

give up something, and meet on one common plat

Fellow citizens it must be preserved! This
good old North State stands up with Kentucky,
and says it must be preserved! 1t must be pre-
serued! Here, as frequently before, there was

lection to American Industry--that's the doctrine
