EX-GOVERNOR RJTNER

In the late published correspondence between
the Chairman of the Wing State Committee OF
Pennsylvania, and Ex-Governor Ritner, the Loco
Foco press thought they saw evidence that this
gentleman would support Mr.. Clay. If there was
any cause for doubt on the subject, that is remov-
cd by the following extract from a letter recently
received by gentleman in Berks county. The
Wing party are every where united-"our cause
is just--our union perfect"
"That men can be found who lay claim to the
character OF gentlemen who stand up in day light
and declare at a locofcco meeting that am sup
porting Polk and Dallas is very incredible blu,

WiSSowi-Ihe Convention. Upon the subject of
Convention to alter the present lin some respects)
oppressive and anti. Republican Constitution of that
State, the New Era, saya:
The majority for a convention, so far as heard
from, is about 10000. The Convention law pre-
scented to the people with all its details and was
accepted and voted FOX as passed. The Loco
tocos will now try to nuly the will of the people,
by making the Convention elected by unequal
counties instead of by equal districts. 1t will be
an effort to perpctuate unequal representation to
keep up the system under which the State is gov
erncd by minority, and to continue the same I'M
just legislation by which the majority has been in
jured for years. The object Of the people is to Sc
cure fair and equal representation-the object OF
the faction in the Legislature will be to defeat
equal representation and establish system ofcoun-
~ representation by which man in small coun.
ty will have six times as much weight as man in
large county. The Convention bill passed
on the p.incIple that free white population is the
only proper basis for representation, aud on that
principle it has been approved by an unexamped
majority of the people, and all attempts to alter the
terms on which the Convention is to be called will
be a violation of the popular voice. No person can
pretend to be Republican who favors such an IL
surpatlon of power"
Mark this doctrine coming from Slave State
is novel.

One Candidates Opinion Of .Another. IN the "Phi-
lanthropist," March 25th, 1885, James G. Drney,
now the Liberty Party" candidate for the Presi.
dency, thus wrote of Henry Clay, now the "Whg'
candidate for that high oilice-
I" 1t is with keen sensation of pleasure-alnost
with deght-that we see this gentleman defend
ing the right of his countrymen to petition Congress
for the abolition of slavery in the District of Col
umbia, and asserting the constitutional power OF
that body to acccede to their requests.
"The God Of the oppressed now presents for Mr.
Clay's acceptance honors that we hope to see take
root in time and bear their glorious fruit through
out eternity"

DISEASED POTATOES.


Extract from The Report of the Commissioner of
Patents for 1913
"rhc disease with which the potato crop has
been attacked, has excited more than usual atten-
ton. The cause is generally attributed to the Pc
culiarlty of the weather. The Of the disease
or sudden decay, has generally been attributed to
their not rlpenng perfectly, and having been har-
vested prematurely. Our opinion, however, is,
that it was caused by the superintendent moisture
OF the soil in which they were allowed to remain
too long, 1t does not appear to be confined to
any variety; but the Pink-eyes and the MERGERS
have suffered most In some cases, where the
diseased potatoes have been fed to cattle and hogs
death ensued.'
AhoIner person says; The potatoes, when
dug, appeared to look as fine as uusal; but when
put in heaps in the field, and covered as usual
they become a rotten mass. In dry cellar thev
held their usual appearance tolerably well, exceDt
somewhat darkened, and a little shriveled but on

WHAT THEY CAN DO AND WHAT THEY CAN'T
The following brief article, from the Louisville
Journal, expresses great deal in small space
and characterizes the Locooco party as truthfully
as anything We have ever seen. The editor might
have added, that they could find authority in
the Constitution, but in precedent, to annex terri
tory to the United States, but none whatever for
improving what we have or that which they would
add to it.
1t is a little remarkable that tie ocofoco lead
ers cannot find constitutional authority for anything
that is good but can find abundance of it for eve
ry thing that is bad. They cannot find constitu.
tlonal authority for making a bank they cannot
find constitutional authority for opening roads and
improving rivers; they cannot find constitutional
authority for the protection and encouragement of
American industry; they cannot find constitutional
authority for the distribution of the land money
among the States to which it belongs; but they
can find constitutional authority fora Rhode Island
rebellion they can find constitutional authority
for leg treasury aud its leg. treasurers they can
find constitutional authority for DISTINGUISHING a
State of its whole Congressional representation 4;
they can find constitutional authority for setting at

What equal protection" in Locofoco estimation,
really means was well set forth by Mr.. Payne, Lo-
cofoco member of Congress land Folks particular
friend) in a stump speech at Shutters Hill on the
4th Of July last. He declared that he considered
the doctrine of protection all ,crong and that eve
ry branch of industry was equally entitled to the
Kindness and friendship of Government =
"This equality of kindness and friendship" he
continued, could only be extended to all by leav-
ing each individual in the full enjoyment of the
profits of his business, lohom HE slightest inierer-
ence of Government. THE DOCTRINE OF
PROTECTING ALL BRANCHES OF INDUS
TRY EQUALLY, HE CONSIDERED AN M
PRACTICABLE THING, AND AN ABSURD
lTY If PRACTICABLE"
Such is the "equal protection to all" for which
Locoocoism processes to be so anxious. 1t MEANS
no protection 10 any, and would be, in fact, the
practical result Of Sas Wrights maxim, " Lei the
Government take care ofitseG and let the people take
care Of Themselves" If the People are content that
the Government in establishing its revenue laws,
should only consider how it could best squeeze
what money it wants out Of the hard earnings of
| the masses, without paying the slightest regard to
their interests or endcavorlng in any way 10 foster
their enterprise and protec: their labor, they have
only to vote for James K Polk TO ensure this result
But If they believe that Government was instituted
for some other purpose than simply to take care
