The Tories seem to be in most unpleasant

puzzled How, very inConyenient, it often is,
to be in the majority. The Tories of the
House of RePresenlatives,being large ~ in the
majority. and having promised their consti,u-
ente, to 80 modify the present aodious Tariff !,
as to raise sufficient revenue to defrav. the
current expenses of the government, and at the
same time, afford every article of consumptio n
at cheaper rate than at present--they End
much difficulty. in agreeing upon the principle,
by which the levying, of this new and much I'M
proved Tariff is to be effected. They have,

ONCE MORE WHTGs !!

Every MEacatIon p0f tends the ehsulk year
one, of deep and exciting interest in politics..
The Tories are alrady beginning, to marshal
their discounted phasnx, and the rallying cry
resounds in the CampNf, our enemies. En-
boldened, by the treacheN of Tyler, and a con-
sequent supineness which his temporarily pro-
duced among the wings, the, have the auda-
city again to. challenge us to renew the contest
of 1910. u
Long accustomed, to WELD the destiny 0
the republic, and to gloat upon the public treas :
ury. they yielded this dominion with reuc-
lance, ard desperately viii they fight 10 re-
gain it. a
We rejoice, however, TO see the same spirit,
which animated us in this memorable contest
beginning to pervade our ranks. II accident
and treachery, have for a time lhwarted us, in
rendering effective orr favorite policy, it will
be like pent-up waters, loosed, which flow,
with new and still more resstless force. Ev-
cry wing heart sickened when it become ap
parent, that Mr.. Tyler had betrayed his friends
and openly thrown himself into the arms of his
enemies, and the Simultaneous gush ofindigna
ton from them, fully manifested, their abhors
renee both of the man and the act But he
has met the fate of all traitors, and we let him
pass.
The approaching canvass, now claims our at
tentlon, and the announcement of the year IA,
awakens recollections of 40, and we are adj
monished, that if we would again conquer, we
must be urged on by the same holy enthusiasm
and notleness of pu! pose-thlS resolved. and
W he can doubt the issue.
If in the accomplishment of any mighty work
leader is needed, who combines all the neces-
sary experience, sagaclty, and lofty chivalry,
have we not the man---the gallant "Harry of
the West.'
One who has devoted long life to the SER
vice OF his country, looking neither to the right
nor left, has pursued her interest alone.
Early placing himself upon firm and endur-
ing principles, he has defied alike tie cherries
winds of adversely, and the envenoned shafts
of n1alevolent political adversaries.
This is the man, whom we have selected to
bear aloft the wing standard, and under this
banner we shall do battle, whether be destin-
ed for triumph or defeat.
Wings of Mississippi arouse once more, in
oeleuc6 OF lree principles. Have you not the
same spirit which vanquished your foes, when
you cast your votes for the lamented Harri-
SON. Have you not the same high motives
which then prompted you 10 action. You have
to meet The same willy foe, and nothing, but
simultaneous and determined action, can again
tame his haugkty crest. The old public Office
holders and defauIters, win flock around the
Van Buren, standard. like. starved vultures, to a
dead carcass; but the people will never come
The Praetoron bands will again be drilled, ahe
giittering lure Of the syellow boys" viii again
be brought into requisition: ia short all the
mighty engines. which fallen and corrupt dy-
nasty can devise, to influence human action,
will be brought to bear; but the people unaw-
ed and unseduced, viii re-endorse the stern
mandate which hurled them from power, in
1910.
