THE UPRISING OF OTSEGO!
From the New York Tribune.


CHERRY VALLEY, June 81, 1914.
The great Tariff Barbecue is adjourned to even
ing, and l seize moment to give some idea of it.
1t was probably the largest assembage ever con-
vened in this old and populous connty-certainly
larger than the great Wing rally of 1910 The
people assembled in the village by immense lines
OF vehicles from every point Of the compass, and
thence proceeded to beautiful grove half mile
East, where substantial stand had been pre-
pared, and noble OK roasted The procession
of wagons was about three miles long-David H.
Little, chief marshal. Arrived on the ground the
meeting was organised by choosing Hon. James
Bracket, president, with Joseph Phelon, Robert
Campbell, and Erastus Crafts of this county,
Loren Ford OF Herkimer, Judge T. P. Danforth
of Schoharie, Peter J. Wagner of Montgomery,
and Charles Hathaway OF Delaware, as vice pres
idents. The meeting was addressed by Hon.
John A. King of Queens, Hon. John A. Collier
OF Broome, Hon. Joseph L. White, and Horace
Greeley, Esq, of New York.
1t was now announced that the OK was waiting
to be eaten, but the people would not adjourn
without "anolher song from 10. Hoxie,' which
was handed out accordingly, with capital adj
dress OF i've to ten minutes in advance of it.
The number present is estimated at fully ten
thousand. There is glorious spirit here, and
OTsEGo MUST GO Vino.

" THE CHIVALRY."

The warlike "chvalry" in every part of South
Carolina continue to hold Texas meetings, in
which resolutions threatening dissolution of the
Union are adopted with the greatest unanimity.
While recording these disgraceful scenes, it af-
fords us great pleasure to say that no indication
of sympathy with them has been given in any
other State of the Union. We have little doubt,
however, that many of the movers in the nefa-
rious scheme of annexation in other parts of the
South mediate the same reasonable purpose, but
keep silent from consciousness that they would
meet the indignant frowns of the community
around them. Walker, of Mississippi, and Ham
ilton, of Alabama, have boldly staked the Union
upon the issue; but we are glad to find that the
sentiment has only found response in South Ca
roIina, State never famed for its loyalty to the
Union. South Carolina is bound hand aad foot
given spark of evidence that she is either DESTROYS
or capable of exercising independent thought and
feeling. Her people have made themselves the
tools Of his unho!y ambition, aud have shown a
readiness to dissolve the Union in order to APP
pease his chagrin ard disappointment. McDufie

JOHN JoNEs,s TROUBLES.

1t is quite amusing to witness the efforts Of
John Jones to orally" the friends of the Presi-
dent. He admits that both the Wings and Loco
focos are against the Captain, and yet the astute
Mr.. Jones contends that the "people" are for
him. The "people" we had thought were the
mass of mankind, but according to Mr.. John
Jones, the "people" can only be some ideal, in
tangible race of mortals who bask in the sun
shine of Executive favor.
Mr.. John Jones makes some very just COM
plants against the Locofocos, by the way. After
recounting the insults which the Globe and Col.
Benton have latterly heaped upon the President
he bitterly complains of their ingrattude in the
following paintive language:
50 He wants to play Jackson is tauntngy ut
tered by Mr.. Benton. MIR. Tyler was not thus
| reproached by any member of the Democratic
party when he returned to Congress the bills
charterng National Bank, with his vetoes ac-
companying them. By the Wing party, he might
have BEEN"
How has it been with Mr.. Tyler with his
Bank Vetoes? Unlike General Jackson, he OPP
posed the wishes and disappointed the hopes of
the party that had elected hun. He arrested and
NS'So'SN
his determination to stand by the Constitution of
the country, which he had taken solemn oath
to support. The maledictons of the leaders of
that party were nnsparingly poured out against
him. He was without party. He was literally
standing alone. Some of the leaders of the op
posiie party. it is true, shouted peans to his
praise. But these, like the praise Of the Globe,
were ephemeral. They were soon changed into
indiscriminate opposition and condemnation of his
acts and measures from the same quarters"
The editor of The Madisonan is half right We
think that the receiver of stolen goods should pay
for them. The charge of ingratitude against the
Locofocos is just.
But the editor of the Madisonian goes on to
remark
The People came to the rescue. They sus-
tanned Mr.. Tyler-they sustain him still, in spite
OF The efforts of aspiring political demagogues to
break him down."
Who the people" are, we repeat, we should
be glad to know. We are unable to divine whe-
Their they be Giants, Lilliputians, Texans, Cana
dams, or "Niggers." All we know of the mat
ter is. that they are not citizens of the United
States.

of the greatest importance TO the prosperity and
independence of the whole country; to the South
it question of peace quiet, or war and death:
we must unite, come what may.
Gen. Andrew Jackson-Although sinking with
age, we rejoice to see, on the Texas question,
that the fire of patriotism still burns bright in his
manly bosom prime and true as he ever has been
on all foreign questions, to the honor, the glory,
and independence of his country.

We rely upon their pghted faith to relieve us

pointed in this, we will rely upon ourselves alone
and leave the consequences to God.

deserted the honor and the interests of his coun-
try and from bad motives-that country will ne
yer forgive or forget it."
Rhett has issued warlke manifesto. What
dreadful thing it would be if the great Common
wealth of South Carolina should declare war
against the twenty-five petty little States with
which she has hitherto been confederated |!
We wish that Dr. Lardner or Dr. Espy or some
other scientific gentleman would attempt to an
alyze the atmosphere of South Carolina. With
out pretending to any chemical knowledge what
ever, we will venture the guess, that among the
different gases of which it is constituted, that the
gas-conade largely predomnates.

WING GATHERING IN CAYUGA.
SYRACUSE, June 30, 1874.

SYRACUSE, June ~, lS44
This has been proud day for the Wings of
Cayuga county. To undertake to give you any
thing like an idea of the enthusiasm and spirit
that pervaded the vast collection of Wings as
sembled together to day at Auburn, is out of the
question. 1t far surpassed anything that took
place in 1910. Every town in the county was
represented, besides numerous delegations from
adjacent counties. The delegation from old Onon-
daga numbered about 1000, all "good and true
Wings" Wagons from all parts of the county
continued to come in, full Of true.hearied farmers,
up to the hour the Convention organized. Never
have witnessed so much enthusiasm and good
feeling before. 1t appeared more like State
than County Convention. There could not
have been less than $4,000 in attendance. The
ladies too graced the meeting with their presence
in full numbers, their smiling faces and bright
eyes beaming with enthusiasm, added no little in-
terest TO the scene. The spectacle was indeed
! cheering. The banners were numerous and we'll
got up but cannot describe them here The
procession formed in front of the American Hotel,
and marched to The ground selected for the speak
ing Here the Convention organized and came
to order Mr.. HULBURT, from Caynga, was called
to the chair. After a few remarks from Mr.. Hull
burt, Mark II. Slbley was introduced 10 the meet
ing, who was welcomed with loud and continued
cheers. He enchajned the throng with his elo-
quence for two hours. He spoke at some length
upon the tariff, and treated that subject in mas
terly manner. He was followed by John A. King,
from Queens county, after lively and spirited
Wing song from the Syracuse Gee Club.

A WAGER.

The editor of the Globe says that friend of
his offers to bet sum equal to the cost of the
Wing prize banner, that no one of the nineteen
States which voted for General Harrison will give
an increased majority for Mr.. Clay. The gen.
teman will deposite with Josiah Randall, Esq,
Of Philadelphia on the first day of the Presidential
election, sum equal to that which he, as Chair
man of the Banner Committee, shall have in hand,
to be forfeited or to be taken with the banner
fund, upon the issue of the election in those nine
teen States. The Wings win if any one of the
nineteen States give an increased majority; and
and loose if none of them do. The proposition
seems to be quite fair in its way, and we doubt
not will be accepted.

the awful manner in which he would annihilate
what little there is left OF the Wing party in No
vember. WHATS he done?" shouted his Loco

on the great question which is now agitating this
country, the following, related to the other day,
seems to be as thorough as any we have yet heard.
man from neghborng county, conversing
with good Wing upon the state of politics here,
remarked that he was the youngest of family
of nine sons, who, together with the father, had
in 1910 voted for Van Buren, but now they were
all going for Henry Clay, the advocate of pro-

Democrat tells rich story at the expense of the
Locos. A banner with the motto, "Polk and

from of the towns, to the Locofoco County

good deal Of mirth, and was demolished as soon
as it was discovered by those who knew what
the Locofoco nominations were.

furnished the Advertiser with the following ex-
tract from letter, dated at Perryville, Tenn, on

THE MoRMoas.-The steamboat Wavery ar
rived at St. Louis left Nauvoo on the afternoon Of
Thursday week, and Warsaw in the night. She
lay at Nauvoo some time, and ascertained that
General Joe Smith had 1900 men under arms,
and ready for defensive operations. At Warsaw
and Carthage, it was understood that 5000 cti-
zens were under arms, but were waiting an addi-
tIonal force of thousand men, before they d.
reced an attempt to serve the writs in the hands
Of the officer.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
Joe Smith has called in all his adherents. Our
hope is that the belief that there will be bloody
work if the fight is commenced, will keep both
parties from The conflict. If that does not, moth
ing will, for the civil. authority is powerless, and
the Governor of Illinois will do nothing until the
mischief is passed; and should blood flow, we

mon race. Afrend just from the scene Of action,
