DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP!

POLK, DALLAS and VICTORY!
The democrats of Vermont have new
err begun to poll their strength at the Pres
idential elections. The vote of 1910 was
a disgrace to them The only way to
keep up party is for that party to do
their best erery time they have chance
to vote, One great cause of our defeat
in ~ was the immense majority we al
Iomed the coons to give in 40. The de-
mocracy said, we can't do anything a
gainst such majority. The democrats
should never have allowed such a ma lor-
ity to have been pollcd in the state. We
hope the democracy of Vermont will new
err again disgrace themselves by allowing
the Presidential election to go by default,
Henry Clay can never carry a plurality
in Vermont if the democrats will do their
duty and poll their whole strength.

MIND now

We take all kinds of produce in pay
ment for the Age, and it is now just the
lime for the farmers to pay us up for their
subscriptions. Some Of you, gentlemen,
are little to hard with us. You take our
paper year in and year out, and pay us
nothing at all. You would think it
rather hard five should buy four or five
bushels of corn ofyou every year COR four
years, and pay you in offering to take five
more for the fifth year! That is precisely
he way yon serve us. Come now, be d.
cent, and bring us SOMETHING in pay
ment for your paper. We will take any
thing but coon sklns-they are worthless
about these days.

GREAT FUN.

We see that some of the coon papers
in this state are publishing Clay's letter
to John NJ. Clayton, dated Blue Licks,
Aug. 90, 1914.
The poor critters didn't know that the
letter contained the following abomnable
Locofoco doctrine:
"EVERY WHERE THE CRY Is
FOR A TARIFF FOR REVENUE.
WITH DETERMINATIONS FOR
PROTECTION"
The elk" the old varmint is in, these
days, is truly pitiablc.

CasIus VI CidV on The Enumeration OF
Tfros -Cassius Marcellus Clay nephew
Of the gallant Harry, pretcnds to be most
Jealous for the coon cause on account of
its hostility to the remuneration of Tex
as, and yet the journals Of the Kentucky
Legislature show that at the session of
1875 this same Cassius introduced n
series of resolutions into that body, urg-
ing the very measure which he now OPP
noses. They were ten in number, por-
ton Of them as follows:
Resolved, That we avow the right OF
two or more independent nations to unite
themselves under one government for
their mutual protection and happiness
and that union is in accordance with the
laws of nature aud nations.
That Texas, being in possession of tho
territory claimed by her, and in stat Q
of quietudc, and under an organized gov
eminent, is, and of right ought to be, an
independent nation.
That the power to receive, new states
into this Union, is expire sly granted by
the Constitution ofthe United States, and
in accordance with the practice of our
government.
That the admission of new states in
to our Union has realized the anticira-
tions of the most sanguine, and added in
creased strength and splcrdor to our Fed
cral Government.
That ccnicderatcd representative
government, like that ofthc United States,
is suited to an indefinite space and popu-
lation, and that experience warrants us
in the assertion that whole continent is
not too large for useful action.
That the admission OF Texas into this
Union is expedient and desirable, there
by diminishing the expenses of peace,
and lcssening the chances of war-giving
us wealth and population at home, end
us among foreign nations.
A copy of these resolutions were sent
TO the delegation in Congress.
Such were the sentiments of Cassius
NJ. Clay in 1888. If they were correct
hen why has he abandoned them now;
Only because "my uncle" committed him.

CLAY'S --LATEST" LETTER IN

The Cincinnati Enquirer thus speaks
of the effect of the "latest' letter of Mr.
Clay on the coons in Cincinnati. The
effect has been the same in every county
from which we have received intelligence,

We have heard of several and seen 9TH
ers, utterly denying its gonuinrncss, and
pronouncing it a "riie hick-a locof1co
frgery." One Jealous whig, with a fear
full oath, denounced it as a Islander upon
Mr. Clay, and declared upon his soul that
if it were GENUINE he mould not rote him
All about the city it was the talk on Sat
urday, and because the Gazette and At
las and Chronicle, Mr. Claws partizan
ooti-TeraS organs, had studiouslv kept
it from their columns, the circumstance
was to many a strong assurance that the
letter rns forgery. Will these papers
