As Wing and reader of your interesting
Weekly, cannot but give you word Of cheer
inc from Western North Carolina Our portion
of the State, as you well know is the Thermo-
pyln of the South. The nomina ton OF Clay and
Ffelinghuysen is hailed with the highest enthusi-
assn and | can give you the assurance, which
November will confirm, that 10 new issues or
cunningly devised fables got up as an appeal to
sectional differences, for the lowest party pur
poses will cause the Wings of this section TO wa
yer in devotion to their principles. The sell sty-
ed Democrats, and they alone, have espoused
Texas, and the extraordinary vehemenco with
which they urge this issue upon the People, iEly
exposes the weakness of the ground upon winch
they stood before this question was agltated.-
They dared not go into the coming contest under
the Free Trade banner Of Calhoun and AlcDuttie
but most woiuiiy Will they be thwa'tcd here
with their new leaders and their new ISSUE
W lille our opponents, with the lndecls0n OF oad

asm of 1910, determined TO achieve as complete

thu State both in August and November by q
majority almost if not fully equal to that OF 1910
The name of HENRY CLAY In Western North
Carolina is II host the State was the last to give
him up al Harrisburg, aud an army of $4,000
voters is eager 10 give him most triumphant
victory. In seven Of the Western Counties
the majority in 1910 ior Harrison was between
1000 and S000, or about SIR Wings TO one Loco
Foco. Weshall 90 as well in the election Of No.
yember next Judge, then, OF the orthodoxy Of
this portion of the State, and the enthusiasm with
which the nomination of the Peoples iayorite Is
hailed. Clay Clubs are lu'ned or forming Ill
every portion Of the country, and the ban
ner is boldly flung out 10 the b.eeze-A
Protective Ter.ai, National Currency, and

Lands. The best spirit is every where manifest

crowded, and the People a,e wei! informed upon
the great political questions now agitated.
