WELL PUT.

The speech of NJ, Ketchum, at the Mid
detown Convention, was one of the best we
have heard during the Campaign. On the
subject of Texas, he was peculiarly eloquent.
Some of his illustrations told well upon the
audience.
Are there, said Mr.. X, any farmers in the
crowdl (Yes, yes, was answered by hun
dreds.) Is there is Locofoco farmer here
(Someoue in the crowd answered yes. J
Very well, said Mr.. X, you are Just the man
want to see. Now, my friend, let me ask
you one question. If you had land enough
for your children, and your chiIdren's chill
dren-good fat land, would you wish to buy
any more? (The Locofoco thought moi, and
the audience laughed.) Well, my friend,
would you buy more land if it had a mort
gage on il! mo, no,) Wonld you wish to
buy il, if, besides having a mortgage ON 1.-THE
title was in dispute. and you had got to 20 to
law to settle it (No, no.) Would you wish
to buy it, if besides buying a mortgage and a
lawsuit you had to fight and quarrel with the
whole neighborhood to keep it! mo, ono. J
Well, then, my friend, never vote for men
whG are in favor of the Annexation of Tex

WEBSTER AT VALLEY FORGE.

VIII our readers turn to the first page of
this sheet and peruse the extract given of the
speech of Mr.. Webster at Valley Forge.
Is there Wing or Loco in Vermont who
can conscientiously vote for Polk if satisfied
he is the enemy of Protection or the present
Tariff. And is it among things credible by
any man Of common sense, that Southern
man whose every vote in Congress, whose
every speech on the stump, and every pub
Iished letter, breathes out war against Pro-
lection; and who is urged upon the People as
Candidate by the most deadly foes TO Pro-
lection at the South on that very ground, and
who dare not lisp syllable in favor of Pro-
lection when addressed by its friends al the
North; who in the very letter which contains
the least semblance of favor to Protective
tarin'relers Cor explanation TO his former votes
speeches, & writings, which are all over free
trade, pure unauthorized free-trade, from
commencement to conclusion; who, as Mr.
w. says, would have never been heard Of
as candidate for the Presidency instead of
Martin Van Buren, had it not been foE his
opposition to the Tariff and advocacy OF
Texas Annexation, can be man 10 whom
the destinies ofthe country caa be safely en-
trustedl No, Fellow-citizens. The pretencs
that Polk is Tariff man is cheat, an out
rageous fraud upon the people of the United
States. 1t is indeed the basest swindle and
the boldest insult ev9r offered to The under
standings the People oftho United States
Polk, even in his Pennsylvania letter to Mr..
Kane talks OF nothing but tariff for revenue
as the primary object, with Incidental pro
lection TO manufactures, arising from such
Tariff. This is the very doctrine Of South
Carolina men, who are the open enemies Of
Protectionl

BIRNEY g. LOCOFOCoIsM.
But read the Speech

If any doubt could rest upon the minds Of
the People that Birney and his coagitators
are the secret allies of Locofocoism it must
be removed by the fact Of his now svowed
opposition to a Protective Tariff, and his
nomination to the Legislature of Michigan
by Locofoco Convention. Both of these
facts are proved by the letters and concess-
ions Of Mr.. Birney himself. The first ap
pears by his letters which we have previous
ly and now publish. His letter on the first
page of this paper our readers will notice.
But that Birney intends to lend his influence
to James X. Polk and his party is doubly
manifested by the following additional let
ter to the Tribune.
An Extract:

grounds. On the contrary the intercourse

because he disbelieves the great political
truths Of the Declaration of Independence.

because he ripudiates the paramount object
OF the UNION, the perpetuation OF liberty to

British government, we were allowed I'd
per yard on all our printed and stamped
goods imported into this country during
the wears 1893 to 1912, and, in conse-
quence, frequently sold prints for less IN
New York than we purchased them IN
Manchester. The bounty Oh our imports
amounted to 80 s59, 900 per annum."
This. to us at least, was an entirely new
f.ct. and one, which, as we think, should
sorcibly arrest and arouse public attention.
In 1868 to 1912, period Of nine years
prior to the late war, it appears that the
British government paid one importing
house in this city from $50, 00G to $50.
900 per annum, as bounty for their i'm
portation of British goods, so that they
could SSH Manchester made goods lower
n New York than they could be bought
FOR in Manchester, where they were made!
How many thousands. if not millions, were
paid or arc TO be paid, or are to be paid,
we have not the means of ascertainlng.
We have, however, in such fact other
countries, and the means Of guessing
whence The money comes from which the
Polk men now have to electioneer SO pro-
fusely with.
This bounty money we know, too, must
come fr"m the SECRET SERVICE FUND OF
the British government-for no account
oft has ever appeared in the regular ap-
preparation of the Legislature, or in the
expenditures of the Treasury. Thus, the
American manufacturer and mechanic
has to contend with two influences in

ges: and next. with the secret service

state was read the third time, and under
went a very thorough discussion but was
at last laid upon the table, by small ma
jority. Every intelligent man in the state
desires this geological survey, and yet
demagogueism may defeat it even in our

result, it would be disgrace to the wing

sary measure which must meet the ap-
probation of every liberal and enlightened
wing in the state by senseless outcry
from locofoco demagogues has been too
often the case in our legislature.

ELECTION, Norember, 1911
October Elections,
GLORIOUS RESULTS FOR THE
rr-rtTDG


As in 1910, the October State Elections
this year clearly indicate the magnificent
triumph which awaits the Wing cause at the
great canvass of November. Appearances
are as favorable for Clay as they were for
Harrison when he obtained 10000 majority.
With one exception, that OF Maine, the States
have gone just as they did in the preliminary
elections that year. As then, our triumph
is complete in New jersey, Maryland and
Ohio. And yet these States have been claim
ed by the Journals Of our opponents with a
confidence which could only be equaIled by
the emptiness and folly of their pretensions.
The ruse of comparing the votes given on the
State tickets now, with the mighty majorities
rolled up on the Presidential canvass in 1910
to mask their utter discomforture from their
followers, may have some effect to prevent
them from perceiyiug for time the forlorn
condition of the party.
But the des of Novemberwil disclose the
trickery OF this attempt TO delude them about
Wing losses and Loco gains. In every State
the Wing vote will be vastly increased. The
hundred in the Wing States now will then
in many instances be multiplied to thousands
as in 1910. Let the right comparison be
made. Take the State elections Of 154O and
and try them by the present State elections
and Locoiocoism would be sadly in the voca-
tive. But how cody impudent it appears to
talk about Loco gains when within 3 weeks
this party has lost three Governors, TO wit:
in Maryland New jersey and Ohio, and at
least two Legislatures. In Georgia too,
where the election was for Congress only,
the Wings carry four out ofeight members,
when it before stood two Wing and six Loco
Representatives, and in Pennsylvania over
which the lOcos are chanticleering so Justify
what is theiI victory but a cold damper to
their glowing anticipaiions. Three years
since they carried Pennsylvania by $4,000,
and now they are exulting in 5000 majority
in 100000 votes. At this rate another cleo
ton will make the Wing victory complete.
In relation to the State Of Pennsylvania we
see no reason for the least dependency
on the part of the Wings. We Overcame as
large a majority in 1910 under less encour-
aging circumstances. The Tribune has ever
said should P pennsylvania go for Skunk 5000,
the State is quite safe for Clay. Skunk is
believed by multiudes to be Tariff man.
He goes ahead of his party, and has a great
many influential Clay men in his ranks. But
another great reliance is, that thousands who
desire to preserve their consistency as Dem
ocrats, and so vote for Skunk will next vote
for Clay and Frelins huysen. The wicked at
tempts TO deceive the people into the belief
that Polk is Tariff man will fail. But we
may loose Pennsylvania, and yet Clay's cleo
ton is sure. But if Polk looses it he is
gone beyond a rally. This will be seen by
posting up the books.
The following States have Wing Legisla-
lures or Wing Governors chosen at the last
State elections:

OHIO.

This State is safe for Clay beyond perad-
venture. Nearly the whole State has been
heard from, and Bartley's majority will not
vary much from $500. Put down Ohio for
from 5 to 10000 majority for Clay in No
vember. The Wing Congressman go gener-
ally ahead of Barley. Last year the Loco
Governor was elected by majority of 3, 443,
making Wing gain of ABOVE 5000. Both
branches ofthe Legislature are Wing, and
Wing in joint ballot, by 1a majority, 6 in the
Senate and - in the House. This is a tri-
umph which has not been achieved in this
state for sevenSears past. The Gerrymandcrs
will now be killed.

Thus securing Wing majority of TWO, in
body of 50 Senators.
These are the results Of the Ohio election,
and it is from knowledge Of these facts that
the Argus will exclude It's readers, and mys-
tify them-amidst tumble Of figures, votes
and democratic" gains and what not.
The Wings will be content to let the Ar
gus boast DER its ''gains,' as it calls them.
They have the substantial fruits of the VIC
tory.
The fact that Mr.. Clay will ascend the
Presidential chair with a U. s. Senate in his
favor, will tend more to convince the Peo-
pie of the onward progress of the good
cause, than all the array of Figures the Argus
can produce. They will consider it an i'm
portant point gained, and confirm it by their
votes in November next.-Albany Daily i'd

GEORGIA.

Although in Georgia Mr.. Clay has been
obliged to sustain the effects of the Texas fe-
yer, and the odium of being in league with
Northern Abolitionists, yet he has no reason
to doubt the allegiance of that State in the
Presidential canvass.
The election in Georgia is for Representa-
tives in Congress only, and therefore furnish

The Argus brags over what it calls grea
Democratic gain in this State, but omits to
inform its readers that the result places the

of the WINGS q for the next TWO YEARS.
Setting aside the fact that the Wings have
elected Wing Governor in the place of the
Loco Foco incumbent; Wing State Senate
instead of Loco Foco State Senate, and a
Wing House of Representatives, welding a
majority heavier than in many years.

Loco Districts will the Wings show all tbe;,
strength Beside national questions are M,
so exclusively contemplated, and personal
and local partiaIities have always sensible
effect. Should therefore the Locos succeed
in electing several members. we should hays
no reason TO mistrust Georgia. But after al.
Georgia elects as many Wings as LocOs to
Congress at this time. Washington Poe

The town elections go with perfect rush
for the Wings. The Loco party scarcely
breathes there. Even Chapman has ceased
growing about Connecticut, so completely
appalling are the multitudinous Wing Mass
meetings. Recently County meeting was

NEW JERSEY.
This State the I.ocofocracy have ever claim
ed stoutly, relying upon British gold and the

Nowhere have the enemy made more desper-

strength which will be pe,manent,and secure,
