from him in the midst of his honors.
He visited The north in company will
his Cabinet; and at Boston the gifted lie
care was suddenly arrested by decease ant
hurried beyond that bourne whence nc
traveller returns"
He went to take pleasure trip in TIT
Steamer Princeton, when in moment
two members of his Cabinet, the aimablt
Gilmer and the estimable Upsher, wer,

House, the last time wth FIVE COZ
FINS in its train.
Within three years, a President, Presi
dents WIFE, an acting Vice President anc
hafa Cabinet, have gone from time tc
eternity.
The great Flnancier, who for years fur.
nished means to base instruments from the
vaults OF mammoth Bank, and by cor
ruption and conspiracy, aided in producing
the panic of lS33-'34, crime equa
in a1rocity to robbery and arson, has late
Iy persisted most miserably by the dlsasC
with which Heaven punished ancient
Ilerod, disease too shocking for descrip'
ton.
All these events so remarkable and SC
startling, indicating Heavens displeasurt
against the entire Wing progeny OF 1910
appear to have no effect on the minds o
their infatuated leaders.
The Cabin and the Coon, the democrat
izing gatherings and senseless rawlings, the
stereotyped lies and wandering bIackguard'
of 1910, are again put in requisi,ion to fin
lsh the deprivation in 1874.
Recently at New Orleans, in the midst
ola Clay Meeting, two of the managers
Mr. l., G. lIornby and Mr. d. II. Twogood
had misunderstanding about some trivial
matter, when the former knocked the lat
ter down and stamped upon his head and
breast with such lerocity as to deprive him
ofIife: Yet the mortal injury of one O.
their principal men, did not stop the pro
ceedings Of the assembled crowd.
The Sabbath witnessed military parade
attended by Henry clay, with banners dis
played and music playing, marching
with shouts through the streets Of New
Orleans, drowning with their noise the
trumpet of the gospel, and compelling wor.
shipping congregations to break up and
disperse,
The iSubbaM also witnesses the same
Wing leader arriving at Mobile amid the
shouts of a congrcgated multitude, as il
they supposed the day was made for the
worship of man rather than the alteration
of their Maker.
The crush of the Clay Club House at
Richmond, by which one man lost his life
and many were NAMED, did not strike the
devotees Of that proAlgate politician, as an
evidence that Heaven frowned on the re-
builders of the Coon Temples.
But what considerate, what religious,
what moral man, can look back on these
extraordinary events, and reflect on the
strange condolences they present, without
being impressed with the belief, that there
is some connection between the means us
ed to acquire power in 1910, now again
put in requ,silion, and the fatality which
seems to pursue the administration it
brought into existence The lalsehoods,
iolles, and debaucheres then adopted,
seem to have demoralized nature itself and
made their authors their principal victims.
The actors in those scenes have been APP
pointed to punish one another; and those
who come in contact with them, seem to be
involved in their calamities. This result,
be it provdential or be it natural, should
warn our people never hereafter to toler-
ate a similar mode of eleciioneerlng. 1T
CANNOT BE DONE WITH SAFETY
1t is par, ofthe system by which the Unni.
verse IS governed, that micknedness bring

alize our people, and national as well as
individual calamities must necessarily en-
sue.
