DOFFS HIS COON-SK

JUDGE PLATr, of Plattsburgh, Clin-
ton county,N. Y. has recently repudiated
Whiggery. The following is the CON
Guiding portion of a letter addressed by
him to the editor Of the Clinton Conn
ty Wig:
Gin your paper of Saturday last,
June IS, you have thought proper to
publish to the world that [ was, in the
year 1910, in favor Of Henry Clay FOR
President. That I was in favor of a
Protective Tariff, (you should have said
a discriminating tariff and that I was
in favor of Distribution of the sales of
the Public Lands. And you also add,
that am now ga loco toco Of the true
stamp"
I admit that, at the period above
stated l was in favor of Mr.. Clay for
President; that I was also in favor of a
United States Bank, Discriminating
Tariff, and a Distribution.
Having thus admitted the correct
ness Of your statement, you will oblige
me by informing the public, through
the medium ofyour paper, that I have,
since 1910, in conjunction with about
taCo hundred thousand other citizens of
the United States, altered my mind on
the above subjects. That our opin-
ions of men and measures have chang
ed. That we, the 100000 voters a.
boye stated, are, at this time, opposed
to Henry Clay as a candidate for the
Presidency. That we are opposed to
a United States Bank. That we are
opposed to Distribution. That we are
in favor Of a Tariff, to an amount cor
responding precisely with the absolute
wants Of the government; discrimina-
ting in its character and consequently
incidentally protective. And you may
add, ifyou please we are in favor Of
the annexation Of Texas to the United
States.
I have the honor to be your very ob't
serv't.

ANOTHER COON OFF !
A Toice Tennessee.

Hear what Mr.. Alexander S. Brown
low, Of Jonesboro', Tenn, says Of the
Federal party. We can't say whether
he is related to the editor Of the Jones'
borough Wing or not. He says:
81 have been for some time suspi-
cious of the honesty and integrity OF
the Wing party, with whom | have ac-
ting ever since | had a vote. I have
read with care their political tenets and
principles, and have acted with them
in their secret associations and caucus
es, and the glazing inconsistency that
there is in the public avowal Of then
sentiments of philanthropy and patri
otsm, and private indulgences in the
worst species of political charlatanism
such as, "will this flag take with
the vulgar?'' evil this song please
the rabble" p "what doctrines will
promulgate on the stump, in order
most completely to humbug the herd?''
&C., have so disguised me, that can
no longer act with such a party. II
seems to me that "hags'' will never
convince the judgment, neither will
songs ever better the heart Of patriot;
and the party which is compelled to
resort to such means, designs to de-
lude and deceive.
Il have acted with this party IN
public and private, and | know, (altho'
there are many good and honest men
among them), that the leaders are Arts
tocrats-the lords and princes of this
Republican Government-that they
have no sympathy, nothing in common
with the laboring poor, and are desti-
tute of oil motives, save their own ag-
grandlzement; even though It's base
be the ruin of our Democratic form oil
Government.
"This party has deceived me-they
made me believe that the Tariff Of
1912 was for revenue. The first SIX
months of 1874 show receipts in the
customs, which, by their fair inference,
will, in the single port Of Ne,o York,
supply twenty millions of dollars
more than enough for the economical
wants of the Government-for which
Congress has appropriated sixteen mil.
lions. They told me that, without {;
United States Bank, the exchanges
never could be regulated. The fact
experience teaches me, is, that Stat,

be no preparations here for a mass contention,
because it is impossible TO accommodate them,
and that settles the question. But there is
ample room for rational assemblage for bust
ness, and there ought to be such al one here.
Five or six hundred may be comfortably ac-
commodated, no more.
Our exchanges, by copying this, may save
some trouble and disappointment. Let it be
understood that the same sort of convention
that met here in 40 can meet again with the
prospect of similar accommodations; but that
