FURTHER REPUTATION.

Mr.. r. S. Hart, Of Dayton, on read.
ing the assaults 10 the Locofoco press
upon the private character of Mr.. Clay,
addressed a ole te the Rev. ~. II. Hall,
a Presbyterian clergyman al Lexington.
KY, desiring him 10 state what Mr.. Clay's
moral standing was among his neighbors.
The following is the reply Of Mr.. Hail.
Read this clear and explicit testimony:
LEXINGTON, August 9th, 1874.
Dear Sr-Your very polite and res
pectful favor Of the 10Th inst. is now be-
fore me, and without unnecessary delay,
| reply to your inquiry. You state that
at is in the mouth of almost every polt.
zeal speaker, opposed to the election Of
the Hon. Henry Clay, and is heraided
forth from every Democratic and Adolf.
ton press, that Mr.. Clay is man of des-
perately bad moral character, and that
such is his standing in Lexington, and
throughout his neighborbood." You de.
sire me to state what Mr.. Clay's standing
at home and among has neighborS is.
have been the Pastor OF the First
Presbyterian Church, Lexington, nearly
% years. My first residence when |
came to this place, was joining Mr.. Clay's
farm, and ever since have lived in the
neighborhood, and have known this hon.
orable gentlemen, and it gives me plea
sure to say, that have never ratnessed
an act, or heard an expression from Mr..
Clay, that was not in conformity with the
sfrictest morality; his character among the
great mass Of his neighbors is that OF
high.mlnded, honorable, kind, and benev.
client gentleman. 10 word, sir, | be.
Iieve that Mr.. Clay's moral character is
as good, and far better than most of the
political men with whom have been &C
quainted, and consider him more pre-.
eminently qualified in every respect for the
Presidency of the United States at the
present crisis, than any man in them
And the honest and unobtrusive desire of
my heart is, that in the good providence
of God he may be elected to that high and
responsible office.
Yours, most respectfully,
N. Fl. HALL.

WHENCE COMES OPPOSITION TO
THE PROTECTIVE POLICY?

II comes primarily from foreign agents
of British houses in New York and other
cities, and from foreign books, written
expressly to deceive us. The foreign
merchants in New York alone, have a
vast influence by controlling, by tier ad.
vertising patronage, many OF the CONNER
cial newspapers of that city, and these
operate again upon those ofthe country
which do not share in this patronage. e.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
the Evening Post, the Aurora, the Plebe.
ian, the Sun, and others, always advocate
free trade, and do all they can against
protection to American industry. They
have succeeded in arraylng large por-
ton of the South against protection by
telling them that the planters could buy
their manufactures much cheaper u
they could get them in Engand free Of
duty. Thus we have combination
against northern labor, by British mer-
chants and southern planters, the latter
wishing free exchange Of the products
Of their unpaid slave labor for the almost
unpaid labor OF the peasantry and ar,izans
OF Europe, and the farmer, the British
merchants, designing TO monopolize al
the trade in this exchange of slave and
pauper labor, while the free labor Of the
country is left unprotected TO sink dowr
! to the same level. --KsnRsbeck Journal

MAINE AGAIN. The Wings of Maine
intend to fight their battle over again 10
November and with more credit to them
selves and the country. The Bangor
Wing thus notes the state Of things as
they are:
Nor so VERY FAT AFTER ALL.-The
Locos have shouted themselves hoerse
over the election, without exactly under.
standing why, except that they were not
beaten and overthrown as by a wbrwind.
Upon a review Of the matter, they will
find the result is not so verv fat after all.
McCra,e, IN Lincoln County, is defeated
by 10 10 400 majority. No election IN
York, and none we presume, in Waldo.
They have not elected majority of the
House Of Representatives-and their ma.
jority for Governor will be much below
the average Of several past years.

The Norfolk Herald says that rumor
is rife 10 the effect that Mr.. Wise has
written a letter to one Of his friends in
Accomac, counselling his old constituents
in that district to oppose the election OF
Mr.. Polk, and the Herald adds the fol.
lowing remarks, the good sense and jus.
,ice of which no one will be disposed TO
deny:
Whether the report be true or false, i,
has more the air Of probability than the
Madlsonlan's story that Mr.. Wise has
confessed himself sorry for having insult.
ed JAMES K. Polk when he was Speaker
of the House of Representatives. Mr..
Wise has done many unwise things; but
We have heard that he did dishonorable
one; and therefore we dlscredit the Mad
lsonlan's statement in toto. What has
James X. Polk done since Wise missed in
his ear the scathing insult in the Capitol,

BRrTIsH GoLD.-The Madisonian OF
the 2lst has the following: 1--WE admit
that British gold has been sent 10 this
country in abundance, TO be expended in
the advocacy Of the doctrine Of Free
Trade" Ofthis fact we furnished abun.
dsnt evidence TO our readers several days
since, but we deem it proper to publish
the admission of its truth from Locofoco
press, as the facts we stated were so
startling as TO have, TO some minds, an air
OF improbabili,v. We have no doubt but
this British gold is being spent freely
throughout the country to promote the
election of MIR. Polk, and that the gang
of rowdies and vagabonds that are band
ed together in this city owe their organ-
zanon to, and are supported by this
british gold" As experienced tacti-
clans in bribery and corruption, the main
efforts of the Free Traders will be direct
ed to the States having the largest cleo
toral votes; and in this city in particular,
will this English subsidy be poured out
like water. in the propagation OF false
hood and the preparation of frauds.-E.

FIFTY CENTS A DAY TOO MUcH.--A
supporter of Polk and Free Trade" a
few days since, in giving his reasons for
opposing Wing principles and measures,
said the Wings were in favor of too high
wdges that he had to pay ffy cents a
day for laJorrs to work his farm, (he is a
large lsndholder) and that, the Wings
being in favor Of such prices, if not higher,
he opposed them, as he wished reduction
even ON fifty cents! Now, that man was
honest; he csndidly confessed the design
Of his party friends--the reduction Of the
wages Of the poor la5orer TO the miserable
pittaDcs Of the monarchies of Europe. -

was addressed to MIR. Polk on the 22d

ted, support that act as il is. without
modification, or would you be in favor Of
modifying i'll"
81 have so often, gentlemen, expressed
my opinion in favor OF the Tariff OF 1912,
that the only regret I feel is that you
should deem it at all necessary to request
any renewed expression oft. Neverthe.
less, take pleasure 10 complying with
your request, 10 saying, that am Of opin-
ion that the Tariff of '42 has been eminent.
Iy salu.ary; that / am decidedly opposed 10
its repeal; that should regard its repeal
as great national calamity; and that |
am unaware Of the necessity Of any modi
fication of it. | am therefore opposed
alike TO its repeal or modification. A fx-
ed ard stable policy is what the country
now most needs, and | sincerely hope
that the Tariff of 1912 may be maintain.
ed, and thus afford security for that de.
sideratum.
