The experience of the Old World is full
Of admonition, and should not be LOST upon
us. The mountains Of Lebanon, TO which
Solomon sent his g four-score thousand
hewers," have been long stripped Of their
beautiful I" cedars." The period is no.
very remote since pines were so abundant
in Great Britain, that a woodman could
procure the right to use singe axe in
cutting them down, for less than dollar a
year /; and, not two centuries and half
ago, wood was the common fuel in most
parts Of England. la Queen Eizabe,h's
time, it is said that Spain sent over a spe-
cial Ambassador, charged with the duty of
procuring, by negotiation or trcachery, the
destruction OF oak trees in the forest Of
Dean. However this may be, the oaks
disappeared by improvidcnce during the
civil wars. Within one hundred and fifty
years, considerable part Of The elevated
regions of the north OF Ireland was covered
with pines, OF which hardly yestige now
remains. A forest SET apart for the royal
navy, contained, at the end of century,
only one-tenth part Of The timber which, the
officers in the CAFE OF it reported at its
commencement; nor was the alarm felt, nor
means takea TO replant, until the quantity
was still less. la Europe generally, at the
present time, it is believed that woodlands
are diminishing with great Iapdity. /, is
supposed, that in Germany, Sweden, Nor

is still covered with forests Of moro or less

Read it, Farmers:
There is no doubt ee The fact that heavy

consumer has TO pay an additional price on
every article he uses. A farmer looks at

turer rs erecting, and while admiring the

very elegant, but do You know tina, Z and
my neighbors have in part paid for all

how you have assisted 10 build my mansion

farmer, Z" have TO pay you a shilling a

Now this would be very well if the pro.

no torelgn marke, open for our surplus.
Honest John Bull floods the country with
his low priced articles, while the high tariff
enables you 10 compete with him; but he
takes no corn or breadstuffs from us-we
who constitute the million, the bone and
muscle of the yeomanry, can lay no money
by, and build no palaces from the sale of

miles southwest of this place, presented us
with couple of peaches picked from ire c

and in year or two will have from his trees
liberal yield. These peaches are produ.
ced from the stone, planted in 1885, and APP
plies from the seed at the same time.
This shows what she soil of Wisconsin is
capable of yielding in this particular, and we
hope our farmers will initiate the enterpr;ze
of MIR. Winsor, as public luxury and ben
eft and source of profit to themselves.

Ii is our candid opinion that in November
Rext, North Carolina will cast her vote for

such result. 1t will be seen that in the
State election in 1886, there was wing
majority of 4,795; in the November follow
ing, democratic majority of 1884. The
way in which the wing majority has dwin-
died down in the recent election, shows
clearly the current Of feeling in that state,

The Factions OF Whigoe-
ny is successful only when perfect combi-
nation of all its factions can be effected. In
the campaign of 1910, such combination
was had. The ultra wings were content
with the nomination of Gen. Harrison, belize
wing him to be man whom they could work
to their purposes as they pleased, and John
Tyler was nominated, Gas he saysin his late
address) TO conciliate the republican or lib
cral portion of the wing party. But how
stands the case now? Have The different fac
tons been conciliated and united? The con-
trary is the fact, for it is we'll known that both
Clay and Frelnghuysen represent and en-
body the most ultra and Objectionable faction
of the wing party. Those odious measures
"a National Bank; high restrictive tariffs !;
internal improvements by the general 60
vcrnment; consolidation Of power, &C., &c.
are peculiarly theirs, and the fact cannot be
hidden from the American public. 1t will
ensure their defeat, for the faction they re-
present are but small portion of the people,
composing the active politicians, the spccu-
lators Of all kinds, gentlemen at large, and
those who live generally by their wits. The
republican portion of the wing party, which
composcs the mass of the party, were
nor consulted in the nominations, nor had
they any voice in making them. The news
paper editors and politicians deceived them
selves. The Temporary disahection and con-
fusion in the democratic ranks, combined
with the echo of their own shouts which came
back upon the ear, got up for the moment an
idea that Mr.. Clay was popular, and during
the prevalence of that opinion, he was NOM
mated. 1t is now becoming evident that he
is not popular; the mass of his own party
have no sympathies nor feelings in common
with him. A share of them yield him but
cold support, while the more republican re-
pudiate him altogether. Observation-Disclosures
Tyler and Clay was not alone quarrel be-
tween those individuals, but it was com
plete sundering of the factions of whggery
The two great forces, the uitras and conse--
vativcs who united in the election of Harri-
son and Tyler, stand now as far as the poles
asunder, and the conservatives find THEN
principles much more nearly represented in
the persons of Polk and Dallas, than in the
ultraism of Clay and Freinghuysen. The
ultra wings have not conciliated the republi
can portion of the party; they are with us in
the coming contest, and as they were mainly
instrumental in securing the victory OF 49,
so will they now labor with the democracy
to achieve a victory in November next.

The sanctImonIous hypocrisy OF the wings
has lost all its seriousness of aspect, and
verged far into the ridiculous. We tell
them Mr.. Clay is gambler, and therefore
not fit for the Presidency; alb, say they, how
outrageous to attack the private character
of Mr.. Clay. We tell them that Mr.. Clay
has attempted murder by aiming a loaded
pistol at the breast of fellow man, again
ne hear, how shameful to attack the private
character of the man. We tell them he is
profane swearer; we are met with the
same reply. We tell them that he is a dis.
honest poli,ician-that he sold the Presi-
dency to John Q. Adams for the Secretary
of State-ship--up goes the white of the
wing eye again, and, 0 horror, we have at
tackled MIR. Clay's private character. Has
Mr.. Clay two characters-onc for public
and one for private life 4; if so, then are we
censurable in dragging to light his private
character but if he has not, and the same
principles which animate his conduct every
day, will continue to animate him as Presi.
dent, shall we sit quietly by and permit the
destiny of the country to fall into such
hands? We look upon it as vastly msor
censurable for the wings to attempt to plac
the helm of the republic in such hands, tina
for the democrats TO hold him up in truth
fol colors to the public gaze that the evi
may be avoided, The interests of tn
country are too vast, to be jeoparded be
cause the character of Henry Clay must b.
carefully and gingerly handled.
