A WORD TO THE WIGS,

We trust the Wings Of Windham Countrywide
wings of Vermont, are not resting upon the laurels
they have gained in the recent State Election
They ought not to forget-THE MUST MOI
FORGET, that another and MORE IMPORT
ANT contest is at hand--a contest that is TO
decide on whose hands is to be placed the admins
iration Of our National Government for the next
four years-in whose hands TO be placed the
issue of peace and war and nations prosperty-a
contest the result of which is TO influence the des-
ncs of this vast Republic with its teeming millions,
for veal or woe, for much longer period OF time.
In one short month more, the battle will he won or
lost Vermont, ever true to the Wing cause, in
the memorable struggle of 1910 covered herself
with undying glory Ofthe nineteen states that
aave their votes for the Hero of Tippecauoe, YER
mont, in proportion TO its voters, gave the largest
majority, save one--ihe state Of Kentucky. IL is
due to herself, to her own good name, to the Wing
cause to its glorious leader and candidate Henry
Clay, that she shall thus signaze herself in the
present campaign. II is not enough that she
should merely cast her vote for the Wing party,
she should give 10 il the moral influence Of tie
mendous majority At the state Election in 1910,
the Wing majority was lO,457. At the Presidential
be the same or greater increase this year 1t has
become proverbial with the Wings, that ia large
vote is Wing majority" These adages drawn
from the experience of the past full Of practical
wisdom. Let the Wings of Vermont profit by this
one. Let there be large vote. Let every man
be at the polls Let there be staying at home,
no tagging of zeal Stacking Of effort because the
state is safe Let there not be tho fond reliance up
on our own strength, too great contempt Of the
weakness of the adversary. 1t is fool.hardy and
suicidal valor that neglecis precauton and effort
and despises the opposing force, for its weakness
There is nothing that has much endangered the
success of the Wings, in the present contest an
early and over-weening confidence in easy and
triumphant victory.
The chickering's, dissensions, and heart-burnings
of our opponents, the weakness of their nomination
and the strength of our own, gave assurance FOL
a time of such easy victory; but notwithstanding
these appearances, our opponents are united and
active, and will poll their full strength, and to make
victory certain and decisive, the Wings must poll
theirs. They should do it here, they should do il
every where. Where victory is doubtful, they
should do il, to secure il where it is certain as in
this state, they should do it, TO make Ii decisive
and triumphant. Io.
Then we say, Wings of Windham County
Wings of Vermont
"oNCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH"
"Armed to the teeth" in the goodness of your
cause, and the certainty of success,-march forth
every one OF you, 10
BA TILE AND TO VICTORY

THE sLANDERERs REBUKED.

II will be remembered that letter was some
time since published by the Rev ii. b. Bas-
com, in relation to the moral character OF Mr.
Clay Upon this, Mr.. B. was denounced IN
the most violent manner, and called every
thing but a gentleman The following article,
from late number of the Lexington (kyD
Reporter, contains proper rebuke of the sar-
derers;
"This distinguished divine, urbane gentle
man. and devoted christian, whose purity OF
life, burning ecquence, high intellectual en-
dowments, iervid zeal in his Masters cause,
have spread his name over our broad 'anu, was
recently applied to by Dr. J. G. Gobe, to IN
form him as to the moral character, and cor
rect department of our distinguished neighbor,
the Hon. Henry CLAY, who, it was believed,
had been falsely and maliciOusy assailed. FOR
his response bearing testimony to the correct
deportment and good moral character OF mr.
CLAW. DR. Boscom has been denounced as
hvpocritical liar perjured blasphemer, an i'm
pious bellcr, and other most degrading and
dshonoring accusations heaped upon him. we,
his friends and neighbors, OF all religious de-
nominations, therefore, feel called on by con-
sideralons of Justice TO a sandered and injured
gentleman, TO pronounce these charges grossly

mony contained in his letter, as 10 the moral
character of Mr.. Clay, as far as we know and

frghtful occurrence took place at the
Western Hotel, in this city, on Saturday. A
young man named Charles Wardner, of Wind
sor, VT, who on attaining his majority a few
weeks since, left his fathers almost for the first
lime IN his life, went to Boston and New York,
where he spent several weeks. Change of
scene and diet, constant excitement and novel;
~ broke in upon his usual regular habits, and
soon produced illness and partial ALTERATION Of
mind. In New York he met his brother who
took him under his care, and started for Mil
waukie. They arrived in this city and stonped
at the Western Hotel, where medical aid was
called in and the patient after taking some
medicine, seemed to be getting well, and asked
Tor some refreshments. His brother rang the
bell several times, but il not being answered,
he was obliged 10 go down himself The pa
tent being thus leil alone, he pulled on his PAN
falcons and boots and jumped from fourth
story window TO The pavement below. Both
his legs were badly fractured, but, at O'Clock
yesterday, he was still sensible, though his
physicians consider him in critical situation,
as the conclusion OF The brain must have been
very severe. -BgDalo Gazette.

Tariff.
nRrrrstr aoLp AMONG Us !!

We have been profoundly astonished to see
,a,tv nrofessino TO be Democratic, departing
from the principles Of Jefferson and Madison
in relation 10 the Protection OF American man
u(actures. We have been equally amazed 10
see a marty which in other respects avows hos.
,;li,v 10 ENGLAND. taking the side Of England
AGAINST America upon the Tariff question:
The pocy of protecting our own Agriculture,
Manufactures and Commerce, is so purely A.
mercan, so clearly the interest as well as the
duty ocour citizens, that we have been astoun-
ded TO find the Jackson, Van Buren, and Polk
marty. while protesting to be Democratic, al
WAYS going with England on these questions
Under jackson, il will be recoected that MT
Van Buren, surrendered our West India Com
merce to England, thus filling our HarooTs
with British vessels. And since then that par
~ has manifested mysterious devotion to the
cause of Free Trade mysterious, because their
policy grants "Free Trade To England, while
II allows that government 10 continue her high
duties upon American productsl These things,
we say, have always excited our amazement.
But this strange thing is beginning 10 ex-
plain itself. Developments in England throw
light upon the subject. The London Times
says:--
"a subscription was recently opened 10 raise
funds TO circulate as FACE Trade TRAcTs
in Foreign Countries. .About -FOUR HUN
DRIED AND FORTY THOUSAND
POUNDS tcere subscribed.-Som Of these
Tracts are 10 be printed in Netc York FOR
CIRCULATION in The y. ST.aTES."-EH
These subscriptions were taken up, il seems,
in various parts of England. Manchester, one
of the great Manufacturing towns, has sub
sbribed ECO, 900, or nearly Sio0,000l
AT a meeting in that town, Manchester pa

That this money comes 10 America 10 be
used in favor of the election of Free Trade
President and Congress, pledged 10 repeal the
Tariff Law of 1912, we cannot doubt For
what other purposes can such large sums be
needed! Not to influence their own people,
f;,r they are already in favor of that species of
Free Trade which sends their manufactures
Duty Free. But we are not left to speculate
or doubt upon this point. The London Times,
in direct terms, avows that fund of f444,-
900 has been raised Ia ''circulate Free Trade
ia Foreign Countries, SOME OF WHICH ARE
To BE PRINTED IN New YoRK FOR CIRCU-
LATTON IN THE u, ST.ATES."
Such is the nature of the developments on
the other side of the Atlantic. And the ac-
ton Of The Locof6co party in America harmo-
nizes with that OF their British friends and al
lies. They nominated Free Trade candidate
for President. They have recently established
Free Trade paper, with purse Of $4,000,
u is said, ior IFS support, in the city of New
York. Millions of "Free Trade Tracts" are
printed in New York for gratuitous circulation
They have also established a "Free Trade
Empire Club" to which the pronigaie and des-
peraIe belong, the support of which cannot fall
short of an hundred dollars day. The ssNew
York Morning News" Tie new Free Trade
