A DISAPPOINTMENT.

The Democracy of the city of New
York experienced sad disappointment last
Wednesday afternoon, in consequence OF
the difficulty which was encountered By
their National Convention in making a
nomination for the Presidency. In anti
cipalioD of the prompt selection of Mr..
Van Buren,, they had made extensive ar
engagements for a tremendous and en!hu-
siastic demonstration, consisting of
grand procession in each ofthe four con-
gressional districts, mass meeting IN the
Park, the escorting to this meeting of the
Hon. Benjamin F. Butler 10 make due

and the ratification of all that had been
done by a salute of one hundred guns -
Ali this glorious display was spoiled and
necessarily deferred to some future occa-
sion. Whether it will yet take place we
cannot say; but we feel pretty certain
that when the final result of the labors Of
tie Convention is made known to the De-
mocracy of New York. that knowledge
will produce disappointment far more
deep and Notifying than that which was
experienced by them on being compelled

From the Baltimore Patriot.
The Washington Spectator, in its af:
fecied qualification at the nomination oil
Mr.. Polk, cannot forbear little from
the occasion. 1t says:
"Our Wing friends are dumb founded
at the nomination of Mr.. Polk. They
have not been able, so far as we have
heard, to start single objection TO him,
except that 'petant elect him.
This is true. The Wings are "dumb-
founded" and the Locos are COMPOUNDED.
All are astonished. The Wings at the
utter weakness and imbecility of their OPP
ponents--the Locofocos that they should
have proven TO be so entirely without a
man in their ranks who could make a
respectable contest. The "single objec-
ton" which the Spectator says is all that
can be started agains, MIR. Polk, "that
he can't be elected" is one which, friend
and foe will alike admit, is as fatal TO him
as was the wound received by Mercutio:
at is not as deep as we'll no. as wide as
church door, but it uiU do"

GEN. JACKSON,S FINE.

A party that for the sake Of mcdcum of
perate and doubtful cause, will desc end to a
course, that stamps its own past conduct with
the crime of ingratitude and injustice, must
truly have sunk to a state of moral and polit-
ical degradation, beneath the reach of hope or
redemption. Tha, such is the case of the
present Van Buren, party, a few plain and no.
torious facts places beyond doubt, or the pow
er OF contradiction. The fine of $1,000 was
imposed in January 1915: nearly thirty years
ago.and with the exception oftwo years there
has constantly been majority in Congress de-
cidedly friendly politically and otherwise to
Gen. Jackson. With the unquestioned power
in heir hands from IeIo to 1870, and with a
treasury oppressed with its tens of millions of
surplus revenue, not whisper was ever ut
tered on the subject of this act of justice now
SO vociferously demanded for the neglected.
and abused patriot. From 1915 TO 1897 Gen.
Jackson was almost constantly in Office and
drew from the money of the people the average
sum of Sll,000 per year, or little less
than a quart err Of million of dollars for the
twenty two years. On his retirement from
Office he placed IN the presidential chair one
who never could have gained that emine nee,
had he not rode in on the popular tornado of
Jack lanism, and thus indebted as nj artin
Van Buren, is known to be, TO Gen. Jackson,
if there was ever 4 fit and appropriate occa-
sion for paying to him the amount of this fine.
either as an act of juslice,or matter ofcom-
pliment, If was, on his retirement to private
life, land when the power of doing SO was in the
hands of those who to great extent were III
debted to him for that power. To allow the
matter 10 be passed by for nearly one third of
a century under such circumstances ; and then
at the very moment that the power aad respon
sibiiiles OF the Government passed into the
hands of those that General Jackson had op
pressed and prosecuted with an unsparirg
matter. looks very much as if the question had
been designedly reserved for such an occasion.
We entertain as high a regard for him as
a soldier and patriot as any of his protested
admirers of the present day; and when many
of those sycophants that are now making the
most noise and clamor about the payment of
this fine were supporting the cause of the
Hartford convention, dealing out anaihemas
against General Jackson, and praying for the
success of Lord Packenham and the British
arms, we were contributing to the extent of
our humble ability to the support of Gen. jack
sons and the cause of our country. and though
we deprecate and deplore the evil of which

but printed lists are to be placed with
each county treasurer, and with each
town clerk, we believe. This will give
ample notice to all parties concerned, and
reduce the expense of advertising TO about
1000 dollars, or six cepts description
instead of fifty. This does not suit our
Loco foco press. They think such law
is not to be endured. They cIamor loud

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

The Western press and people, are be-

lation, in aid of our works Of Internal I'm
provemen.. We shall take pleasure in
promoting any reasonable and feasible
measures for that purpose, for we are old
soldiers to that service. But we beg our
Western friends Of all parties. to look at
the position in which this subject has been
placed by Locofocoisn.
At the formation Of the state Govern.
ment, the locofocns created q debt of FIVE
millions, and laid out four great works in
parallel lines across the peninsula. The
result was, that the State became bank
rupt before any of these works became
productive.
In ls40, the Wings came into power,
and abridged this extravagant Locofoco
system. The Northern Railroad and the
Clinton Canal were abandoned-the
Southern Railroad was to be completed
al least, as far as 1t was begun, to Hills
dlle-and the Central Railroad was 10
be finished 10 Kalamazoo. Tao object
was to make some portion OF the works
productive, since the whole was beyond
their reach, and for the brief space they
we're entrusted with authority, they sue.
ceeded. The southern road was open TO
Adrian and made ready 70: the iron 10
Hillsdale. The Central Railroad was
opened to Jackson, and put under con-
tract to Marshall, and has since yielded
a copious revenue; the net proceeds du-
ring the past year are some seventy-fiye
thousand dollars.
Such was the Wing policy and its re-
suits, but in 1912, another change took
place, and Locofocoism again rose to the
ascendant. Behold the fruits of its two
years OF administration. The iron has
been laid on the Southern Railroad from
Adrian TO Hiilsdale, but tie Central Rail-
road, our only productive work as yet,
still stops at Jackson. Judging from the
exposition contained in the Governor
message, we doubt whether another year
will carry il 10 Marshall, certainly not TO
Kalamazoo. Let the west ponder upon
this remark.
A Wing congress donated TO this State
five hundred thousand acres Of land, for
internal improvement. A Locefoco Leg
islature has set these lands for sale at an

men II the grant were not readily made and
approved. But justice or charity TO General
jackson has nothing to do with the matter.-
If they have, his pariisans are doubly gully
for their neglect when the power was in their
hands. The simple truth of the case Is thai
the payment of this or any other sum TO Gen.
Jackson, even il he wanted bread is matter
of no consequence in the estimation of such
party hypocrites and demagogues as are now
agitaiing the question, as their own conduct in
the case most abundantly proves. 1t is but
another move O. Martin Van Buren, and his
parasites to resusci tate his fallen fortunes by
draft on the popu larity of his {" illuslrious
predecessor" If the claim was just or meri.

the power to do him justice, and were mainly
indebted to him for it and after having done
so, with what show of justice. or even decen.
cy, can they call on those who were the SUBJ
jects of their, and Gen. Jackson's prescription
and prosecutions, to pay him compliment at
the expense of The public, that they them
selves refused
The impudence, baseness and hypocrisy OF
the attempt is without parallel even in the
history Of Van Buren, electioneerng. and de-
serves to be rebuked in a manner that will be !
long remembered.

beloved republic.
We cannot close this communication,
without adveriing to measure with
which your name is peculiarly identified

TARIFF PRICES.

The Free Press quotes from the jour

ricultura. Produce in 1889, and 1913.
labelling the former "Free Trade" aud
the latter Tariff" and showing that
wheat &c, bore higher price IN the
former than in the latter year, This is
all nonsense. In 1899, the tariff was
nearly as high as the present. Agricul-
tura as well DIS mechanical and manufac-
turing operations, have been vastly extern
ded since 1899; the products of each
branch have been increased in a cores
ponding degree--the aggregate product
Of all branches of indu stry, bear higher
ratio to the amount of money in circula-
ton than they did in 1889; hence the
money price Of every thing is lower than
it was then. Cannot the Free Press un'

Tariff 10 G State Legislature, merely for
the purpose of deuouucing it, without any
reco mmenda,ion in relation 10 it. Mos;
ofihe positions taken in that part of the
Message. are false in fact; some of them
so glaringIy so, even where the means OF
correct Information was within his reach,
as to defy all The efforts of charity to in
duce the belief iha. they were not ,ciI full
ly perrerse. What else can ! think of a
man occupying the place which he does
who can set forth the proposition that
'fhe price of Wheat, and of course OF
Flour always has. is now. and probably
gM be, regulated and controlled by for
eign demand" and that the home con-
SUMPTION has scarcely ever had any infiu-
ence upou the price. How is this? Let
US appeal TO facts. 1t is well known that
the export of Flour to Liverpool has been
almost or quite suspended. for about eigh-
teen months. And why? If you will refer
to the prices current, (which l suppose
are accessible to your GoEernor) you
will find that the last years crop was
