"WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATS DO"
r. Ts,Ia

"WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATS DO!"
Cry of Feds.
What will they do' They will rally to save
Their land from the foe-from mountain and glen
In strength they will come true-hearted and brave.
Man binds not the wind, controls not the wave,
And thinks he to conquer firm patrots-when
Contending for rights, they determine to be,
Though tyrants should threaten-unshackled and
free?
What will they do' What they ever have done
Increasingly toll for freedom and truth,
Nor shrink from the conflict, till victory won
They see the work ended, SO nobly begun.
The wisdom of age, the vigor ofyouth,
Will unite In the effort-bless'd may it be,
That no cloud may darken the home of the free.
What will they do' They will steadfast remain,
With principles pure, with purposes high,
The laws of their country will firmly sustain,
Love for Liberty's cause will fondly retain;
To her aid they will hasten when dangeris nigh.
This, this! will they do, who determine to be
Whatever opposes-unshackled and free!

rests in other countries is one of rapine and pau
perism; and though it may never be potent enough
here to vctimize all the other interests of the
country, yet its yirus struck deep it is into our
system, will impair more and more its healthy
action. retard the development of its resources,
and finally reduce it to impotency. and ruin. Sir,
such monopolies as the present law is designed to
foster, at the expense and almost sacrifice of all
other interests, are but the disguised competitors
for power with the government itself, and their
influence the cancer that is eating out the vitas OF
the constitution. And if we contribute much
longer, by such laws the present, to give pre-
cocious maturity to them, they may well claim to
be the government, and proclaim that the consti-
tuition is but bundle of distractions; unworthy of
the present age, and unfit for the government of
the people. There is but one hope of escape from
such catastrophe and it is in the firmness, homes
y, and patriotism of the farmers and mechanics of
the country. Their united voice can avert the
usurpation, and their brawny arm protect the con-
stituton from the ravages of such an enemy. But
if they should much longer slumber upon the
ouposts of the constitution, the citadel Of liberty
will be in the possession OF worse than Gothic
foe who will PROSTATE its noble pillars strike down
the eagle Of liberty, and in their places erect the
throne of the despot, and the whelp of the British
lion. Already the links of the cold chain of ava.
rice are entwined around the hearts of portion
of our people, and deadened their sensibties,
fear, to the calls and influences of patriotism; and
nothing can arouse them but true sense of the
condition Of the country, to an effort to renstate
the constitution to impart once more its lifegiving
principles to the great interests of the country
.No,o-no,c is the time for the effort; and he who
suffers the present occasion to pass unimproved
will live TO condemn his error, and weep over thu
lost liberties of his country.

PIErY AND PRoFANITY-A FAIR AVERAGE
The Hartford Times states that an ardent Wing,
who has been particularly active in extolling the
very excellent and pure character of Mr.. Freling-
huysen, the Whig candidate for the Vice Presiden-
cy, was few days since, particularly officious in
trying to impress upon very honest and conscien-
tious Democrat the exemplary worth Of the Wing
candidate for the Vice-Presidency The Demo-
crat inquired how it was with Mr.. Clay, but the
Wing said he was speaking of the Vice President,
whose character was most exemplary and pure
that there were few such men in the country. The
Democrat inquired, the character of Mr.. F. was
SO good, how it would be if the character of the
two were averaged. The Whig thought they
would be about fair average He claimed no
more. Butthe Democrat would not admit that
good as might be MI. Frelinghuysen's character,
ii could hardly atone for the duelng, bullying, de-
based and profligate career of Henry Clay.

AT $l2 DAY


AT $l2 DAY!
In 1916, an act was passed by Congress, chang
ing the compensation Of the members from six dol
lars per day, to $500 the session, which, as the
sessions then scarcely averaged one hundred days
each, was upwards of fifteen dollars per day. Mr..
Clay warmly advocated the passage of this law,
coming from the Speakers chair to make speech
in its favor 1t is to be observed that his wages
Speaker, were then twelve dollars per day. A
sketch his remarks was published in the LExING-
TON REPORTER of May 3Ist, 1916, paper which
has always been warmly devoted to his interests
from which we extract the following notable sen.
tence:
"Mr. Clay said his own personal experience de-
termined HIM in voting for the bill He had at
tended Congress, some times without his family,
and others with part ofit, and although his com.
pensationEwhilst he had enjoyed the honor of pre-
siding in this house, WAS DOUBLE OF 9TH
Err MEMBERS, he declared with the utmost sim
cerity, THAT HE HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE
TO MAKE BOTH ENDS MEET AT THE

what kind ofa farm it would take to keep him 60
