Mr.. EDITOR,

Mr.. EDITOR,
Some of the Wings in Chester are circulating
report that Gen. Ryland Fletcher of Cavendish,
at the late Congressional District Convention, at
Royalon, publicly renowned his political abo-
tionism and pledged himself for Clay. know
the whole report to be false and malicious, fabrl-
Gated to aid the wing at the expense of truth
and the sacrifice if possible Of the Liberty party.
VIII Gen. Fletcher take the trouble TO nail the
above aCAig lie, (for such no doubt it is,) to the
counter, where, with hosts of others Of like de-
scrption, it belongs.
The above report, by the by, exhibits an exceed
ingly ignorant parentage Why, Gentlemen, you
never knew voting abolitionist yet. who could
hold his face to tell one Liberty man, that he long
ed for the flesh pots of Egypt-and preferred wal
lowing again in the proslavery mire to the tread
ing on Liberty's rock-nuch more have you not
seen one proclaim his own shame i'll a public con.
vention of Liberty men, No, this backing out Of
holy cause is too sneaking business, to be pro
claimed on the bousetops. A Wing Convention
would have been the proper place for such degra
dation. hope theGentlemen fabrlcators will no
again mistake the scene of action.
Yours Sc II.

A CapaciOus Sl0allow.-A good Wing deacon,

swallow Henry Clay, has at length succeeded
In what point he placed him, in order to get him
down, we have not been informed. 1t must have
been a dangerous experiment. One would think
that the pistols and shackles would have stuck by
the way. Such a dose ought to give pious man
the heartburn.- Beacon

Saving of Labor,
Mr.. EDITOR,
ORREN SHIPMAN

Mr.. EDITOR,
Some of our political editors, about this time
seem to be desperately straitened to find words
aud ephets sufficiently expressive of their feel
ngs towards those whom they dislike, especially
each other, when found in opposition Although
familiar with all the rbaldry of the most accom-
pIished backguards, they heave and reich terribly
to spew out upon each other, and upon better men
something yet more filthy and offensive. Some of
them have so long stood in the kennel, throwing
filth, that they have got most miserably bedaubed,
and their hands have become so polluted that they
can scarcely touch a clean thing without defling
it, Their papers, surely, wherever they go, carry
with them sinking too bad to be admitted
one would think, into respectable houses. would
advise you and others who would wish to keeT
clean, to stand off from such men, on an eminenct
above their reach.
And to save them great deal of straining ant
trouble to get any thing vulgar and bad enough
to say Of each other, would suggest the expedi
ency Of their getting choice paragraph of Bill
ngsgate stereOtyped, to be always ready, as occa
sion may call for its use. If any man says augh
amss if any editor does expose any of their mis-
representations, let them apply to him This pIaste
and it will cure him-seal his mouth, at any rate
as effectualy as any thing of the kind which ca
be applied. Perhaps the following eloquent an
burning passage, addressed, long ago, by oneFsl
er, quaker, to the celebrated Dr. Owen, will
as much to their taste and purpose as any thin
which has been, or can be produced by themselv'
or found in any author;

PHILADELPHIA, July 10, 1874


Messrs. Leavit & Alden,-As you see, am SO
far on my way from Baltimore towards Boston,
having spent part of yesterday and the day be-
fore with our friend Torrey, in the already noto-
rious Baltimore Jail. You and your readers gen
orally will wish to know the exact present position
of his case. 1t is as follows
He is under arrest on the charge of aiding the
escape of slaves in two instances; one from Mary
land and the other from Virginia. In consequence
of the adjournment of the court, he cannot have
his trial on the Maryland case until next October
Meanwhile he must lie in that old, filthy, and of
fciaIly condemned Jail, unless he is haied out
But for the Virginia case this could be done. As
it is, the court refuses to take bail land were it Civ
en-, it would only open the way for the earlier Op

REGARD for the Constitution.
Yours, SC

Mr.. EDIToR,--A the Wings profess to make
opposition to Instrumentation of Texas one Of their
cardinal points in the present political contest, |
wish to ask them how they know Henry Clay is in
heart opposed to it? According to his own avow-
al, he is only opposed to annexation at this time,
and under present circumstances. But provided
he had avowed his unqualified opposition: how
can we trust in his word when he knowing and
willingly, and wilfuy violates and tramples under
his feet the Constitution which he has sworn to
support The Constitution of the United States
says no man shall be Senator unless he is thirty
years of age. 1t furthermore declares that no
member of either House of Congress, for any
speech made in Congress shall be called IN ques-
ton in any other place. Henry Clay has violated
the Constitution in both these acquisitions: First
by taking his seat in the United States Senate
when he was not old enough to be a Senator by
several months. Compare Greedy and McElrath;
Life and Speeches of Henry Clay, vol. l, PIP. 7
So, with VOL Q, p. $50 Second, By calling Joht
Randolph in question for words spoken in deba
in The United States Senate, and endeavoring Il
murder him in duel. Third, Henry Clay ha
violated the Constitution by his inveterate and de
termined support and defence of slavery, in def
ance of the Constitution, which was made to es
tablish justice and secure the blessings of Liberty

THE MIGHT OF WORDS.
WHAT to man his greatness siveth
Der the creepipg things and birds,
But tho soul that in him livsth
And The glory Of his words'
With The gift Of life were given
For his utterance true and loud,
Something OF the fre.of heasen
And the thunder of the cloud.
In his voice were bent the rushing
Ofthe ssorm-winds DER The seas,
With The fountain peaceful gushing
And the music Of the breeze:
And the murnur oflhe breaking
OF the biiiows on tia shore,
With the whirl~inds harsh awaking
In the forest dark aud hosr.
Words are weapons better, uuer,
Snapper than the bat,le-sword.
Strong against The evil-doer
With the server Of the Lord.
By the words OF truth and terror
Are the works al wrong reVeeieo,
So the old and cherished error
To thu, Weak and True shall yield
Words have shaken the foundations
Ofold empires wide and strong,
And cas-, down Inc kings CT nations
From the thrones OF pride and wrong.
Esrnes, words for Freedom spoken

And the might OF words hath broken
Fen the letters OF the Slave
Words have filled the golden pages
OF the Poets dsathless rhyme,
Which ike iron hath linked the ages
OF the world from ume 10 time.
Words have kept in thrilling story
All the wonderful and true,
And have garnered up tho glory
Of,he Old World for the New.
Words are messengers between US
With all truth and greatness iraught:
So the wisdom born within US
Cometh, hurryiug from thought.
Ifthe tongue were dumb forever,
Silence were not proud and sirong;
Love were like buried river
So were Eloquence and Song.
On but sweeter were the story
If men cast away the sword,
And forget the evil glory
That the tongues OF men accord!
