TO THE WINGS OF AUGUSTA

1t must be admitted on all hands, that the en-
suing Presidential election, is one of the most
important that ever has taken place since the
foundation Of our Government. Our wisest and
purest statesmen throughout the land, have made
1t their duty to canvass the Union, from one end
TO the other, TO sound The alarm, that our glorious
institutions are in danger Of being overthTown by
The enemies OF our country. The gar5 of De.
mocracy has been assumed, and under it's name,
all that Is held sacred and dear to every lover of
his country, is TO receive a fatal stab at their
hands This they hope to effect by elevang a
servlie tool to the Presidency, James X. Polk
Wings of Augusta, will you remain lukewarm,
and indifferent in crisis like this. God forbid
Then, beseech You, exhort you, by your love
oil country, your wives and children, arouse YOUR
selves and prepare for the conflict which is to
seal the fate of our blessed Union for veal or for
woe. Let your voice be heard in tones Of thun-
der, which will forever PROSTATE thai hideous
monster, Locofocosm, whose principles have
been curse to our country, her history will
prove, for the last sixteen years. Then may we
expect 10 see Peace, Truth, Justice and Virtue
once more assume their reign throughout our bor-
ders. But let our enemies get the ascendancy,
and who knows how long it will be before our
beloved country will be deluged with blood, by
all the horrors Of a civil war. Cast your eyes to
South Carolina, and see what is brewing there.
A deep concerted plot has been made. If Texas
is not admitted into the Union, and the Tariff
repealed. our glorious Union is to be dissolved.
Secret clubs are formed, pamphlets and docu-
ments are sent 10 Virginia, to enlist her in their
crusade against our Union.
In conclusion, Fellow Wings. entreat you 10
let your voice be heard at the Polls, which will
at once crush their reasonable designs against
our Union. need not tell yon who Henry Clay
is; his name is familiar in the history of our
country for the last forty years, and he has rem
dered the most signal services to his country.
To the Polls and let the word be,
Strike for Henry Clay and Liberty,

BELLE FoNT, Oct. 90. 1874

Capt Harper-I observe in your last paper an
extract OF a letter from Richmond, under the i'm.
posing caption of "Overshadowing Influence"
and orer the signature of one Monsieur "Nous
'errons," inrusting my name before the public
In rather an unceTemonious manner; and if |
rightly comprehend Mons. N. ", rather dsres-
pecIinlly. Allow me then to tell this Richmond
correspondent and his impudent friend here, that
those voters Of Augusta who supported Harrison
In 1910, and intend voting for Polk in 1914, can
give better reasons for their course than the "de
lection" of any man, especially one Of such hum
BILE Pretensions as your ob't. sery't.,

LET TIE SOUTH AMAKEi

AS specimen Of the enthusiasm with which Mr. Brine
has been received into the Locofoco ranks we make the
following extract from the Philadelphia Spirit of the
Times of the 10th instant.
eve perceive that J. G. Birncy, the Abolition or
Liberty candidate, has OPENLY AVOWED HIS
PREFERENCE FOR MR. POLK OVER MIR.
CLAY, at which the Federal Wing papers seem cx-
cccdingly wratby. But il not natural Is not the
Democratic party opposed mass, to human slavery /?
is there true Dcnocra; in Pennsylvania who is OPP
posed TO the traffic in human flesh and blood Are not
the PRINCIPLES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
OF THAT PECULIAR CHARACTER WHICH RE-
COGNIZES GALL MEN, AS ''CREATED FREE
AND Equal" and which, looking with eye of
sorrow on institution imposed upon by Great Br
tain herself would fain free from their horrd manaclcs
all who born in the image of their Maker, and rid
this land of liberty OF the last vcsgc of dcspotm? Is
there man of honest feelings who would not rejoice
to country freed from this incubus upon her hui
mainly and witness the COLORED RACE within our
borders made happy in the possession of at least those
human and inacnabc privileges which are theirs by
right of Nature and of God? We think not Gree.
dom for the bond ~ is the of every real Democratic
heart "Liberty" is their motto, and the "Sons of Lii
berty is appropriate title of the Democratic party
Is then strange that Mr.. BIRNEY should prefer Mr.
POLK to nir. CLAY, or that the Liberty party gcncr-
ally should lean in favor of the Democratic candidate?'

THE LOCOS BETTING AMONG THEMSELVES
ON CLAWS ELECTION

day or two since staunch Locofoco Of Bal
timore city who feels confident of the success of
Polk and Dallas. sent check for $500 10 a friend
in Winchester with the request that il be staked
against $1,000 on the general result in November.
! he check had been IN Town but very short
time, hardly long enough for the Wings TO know
the fact before another Locofoco planked down
the $1,000; thus taking the matter out of Wing
hands. If 1t don't look like acknowledging the
corn" when Locos get TO piling odds on Clay's
election, then no judges. We begin to
think that many of our Loco brethren regard the
election of Mr. Clay so certain, that they will
give the Wings no chance to stake their piles,
but take all bets themselves that are offered.

NATlVEISN.

The effect OF Naiiveism was clearly seen
III the result Of the late election i'm Southwark
district, Philadelphia In this district in 1913
at the Congressional election there was Lo-
coioco majority of I'D. A. the late election,
Markle the Wing candidate for Governor, re-
ceived majority of 1044-being change of
more than 100 votes since the former cleo
ton. Thus ii appears that Naiveism is swal-
loving up the Locofoco party in that district.
The Native Americans, while they claim to
vote as they choose on all questions, avow IA
determination TO coalesce with no other party.

The statement of Mr.. McCord of Alabama
made in the following letter to one Il. A. Reyn-
olds, is going the rounds of the Loco Foco Press:
LowNDEs, Oct. 3, 1914.
Dear Sir: The declaration which heard Col.
Preston make was to This effect: That at the
White Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, MIR. Clay
DECLARED THAT IT WAS TRUE CONGRESS- COULD
NOT FREE OUR SLAVES, BUT THAT THEY COULD, BY
HIGH DUTIES ON IMPORTS, MAKE THEM so VALUE
LESS THAT IF THEY MD NOT RUN AWAY FROM US,
WE SHOULD BE GLAD TO RUN AWAY FROM THEM !;
AND THAT THAT WAS THE GREAT OBJEcr OF THE
TARIFF SYSTEM.
THIS declaration was made by Col. Preston in
the Fall and Winter, | think, of 1881 and Mr.
clay remarks were made that summer. Col. Pres
ton repeatedly made the same declaration publicly
and privately. Col. Clifton of Dallas Dir. Law
renee of this county, Whigs-and Robert Rives
and Reuben House of this county, Democrats,
heard Col Preston make the same declaration /;
some OF Them like myself, repeatedly.
Yours, truly, II. p. McCORD.
b. A. REYNOLDS, Esq.
We are authorized by Judge John F.. Nav, of
this town. to state that he was at the White Sui
Phur Springs, in Virginia, in the years 1881, '32
and '33-'hat MIR. Clay was at those Springs but
one of those years, (he thinks the year Is3D-
that Mr. G. arrived at the Springs subsequently
TO him and left for kentucky before he, Judge M .
ieit the White Sulphur, and that Mr.. Preston WAS
NOT AT THE SPRINGS WHILE Mr.. CLAY WAS
THERE.
Judge M. also says that he thinks Judge
Brooke was at the Springs during the whole time
OF MIR. Clay's visit, and that he has no doubt
that Judge b. will agree with him that MIR. Pres
ton was not there during any period of Mr.. Cay's
visit. Petersburg InteAkgeneer.

NSANITY-IMPORTANT MEDICAL CONVEN-
TON.

We understand that a Convention Of Medi-
cal Superntendents and Physicians Of Insane

CITY Among the subjects occupying the at
tenton of lis members were the following
The Medical and Moral Treatment of the In
sane-Ihe Construction and Organization of
Hospitals for the lnsane-The Jurisprudence
OF lnsanIty-Prevention of Suicide-Statistics
OF lnsaniy-Asylnm for Idiots and for CO.
lored persons, and the Prevention of Insanity,
and Insanity in Prsons.-These subjects, af-
ter full and able discussion, were referred
TO appropriate committees, to report at the
present or a future meeting of the Conven-
ton.
The attendance at this first assemblage of
the kind has been unexpectedly large, and its
deliberations, as we learn from friend who
had opportunity of attending its sessions, have
been characterized by great unanimity and a
devoted interest in the important matters COM
ing under It's notice. The following gentle
men, representing the different Institutions
with which they are connected, have partici-
paed III the proceedings of the Convention,
viz: DIR. Ray, of the Maine Hospital DIR.
