THE INTEREST OF THE MASSES.
Messrs. Chas. A. Secor and others.

Nothing has done more to sustain our
republican institutions, than our public do
main at the South and West, acquired by
the struggles of the revolution, and extern
ded by the purchase of Louisiana. The
laboring man Of the Atlantic States, is
transferred into an independent freeholder
by emigrating beyond the Aleghanies.-
Federalism wishes to pen the people up in
cities and manufacturing villages, for the
double purpose Of keeping wages low by
the competition of those seeking employ
ment, and ofenjoying political sway at the
expense of abjeft and dependent poverty.
Democracy wishes to diffuse population so
as to improve the general condition of the
people, and give increased political power
TO the truly republican interest of agricul-
ture.
The opening ofnew avenues for enter
prise at the South and West, is OF the first
consequence TO that portion of the people
of New England. ,Uho haze their fortunes
not TO make. The federal policy in re-
ference to the poor, is TO keep them poor.
The Democratic policy is to elevate their
condition. by offering rewards and induce
ments for the display OF talent, energy,
and enterprise ....
The re-acquisition of Texas and The Or
egon. developing new and fertile terrific
ries for settlement and commerce, would
open the road to fortune to thousands Of
the young men of New England now
wasting away in poverty and ldleness.-
An ample and almost boundless field,
would be presented by it to enterprise and
movement. ...........
In all this. Federalism takes no interest.
Its sympathies are confined to those who
are already rich and prosperous. lis idea
in reference to the poor man, is to keep
him poor, and if possible, to make him
poorer. ....s.. -.--
1t would be just as unnatural for the
Federal party in New England to favor
the recovery of Texas and the Oregon, as
to sympathize with the free suffrage move
ment in Rhode Island. Both things are
equally repugnant to all its instincts and
notions. s. ..- &. .-.t''...

The great American Novelist for Polk and
Dallas.

The following letter from the author of the
"Spy," &C., &C., was read at the Gfeat Mass
Meeting of Republicans in New York:
HALL, CooPERsrowN, Sept. g, 1914.
GENTLEMEN: Your favor of August 8 LIST
only reached me last evening, and has
ten, according to your desire, to give as
early an answer as possible. 1t is so much
opposed to my habits to attend political
meetings, that have avoided them for the
last quarter of century, attending but one
in all that time. The exception occurred
this very summer, and if anything could
bring me to the stump, it would be to help
to put down the bold and factious party
that is now striving to place Mr.. Clay in
the Chair of State. While do full justice
to the many honorable men who call them
selves Wings, say no more than | think.
when l say that | regard their party, as
whole, as much the talsest aud most dan
gerous association of the sort that has APP
peared in the country in my day. We
have had a taste OF their measures, both in
the State and at Washington, and it IS suf-
fcient to let US into the secret of the means
that will be used to perpetuate their pow
er, should they prevail in the approaching
election. God send that they may not, as
l believe will prove to be the fact, notwith-
standing all their shoutings for anticipated
success. This county, am persuaded,
will do its duty. see Mr.. Greedy has
set it down as likely to 60 Whig-I con-
slider it safe for one thousand Democratic
majority, 1t being out of the power of the
Wings to reduce it to much below eight
hundred in 1910, period when the DIS
tress that pervaided the country told heav-
lily against US. Now, every thing looks
promising, and hear in every quarter of
changes from the Wing to the Democratic
ranks. Cool heads among the Democrats,
feel confident that the county will give ff-
teen hundred for Polk. heard promi-
nent Wing of the county say that he put
the majority from three to five hundred
This was said in New York, and may be
taken as specimen of the manner in which
your Wings are misled by the excessive
confidence of their own people. men,
ton these things that you may know what
we think on the subject. give you my
real opinion, without reserve.
1t will not be in my power to attend
your meeting, having business of moment
to keep me at home until later in the
month. But take the liberty to RECON-
mend that you stand shoulder to shoulder
until victory be assured. New York is
Democratic, and at this moment our polit-
ical creed shonld be determination to
g beat the Whigs.' 1t is good creed at
this particular uncture, and behind it lies
the security of the State, the preservation
of the public faith and the perpetuity of
the institutions, in practice, at least, if not
in form.
Wishing you complete success, gentlemen,
| remain yours, faithfully,
