E. r. HUGUNIN.

We know not who is the author of the
articles wbfsh appear as editorials in the last
American, but whoever he may be, he is a
base and cowardly slanaerer; base, because
he insinuates, for the purpose of injuring
Mr.. Hugunin's character, that which he
knows to be false; and cowardly, because he
dared not give his insinuation the shape of
an open assertion. Perhaps such SANDERS
might with safety be permitted to pass with
out reply. Mr.. Hugunin is well known to
the people of the country generally, which
will cause these SANDERS to recoil upon those
who originate them. The SANDER we allude
to is in these words: - those who believe
that young men are not more liable than
books, and find them again cut to pieces with
$1,000 of the county's money distracted,
will find their views promoted in his cleo
ton" Such atbing once happened to the
Collector of Racine county, man with
whom Mr. Hugupin had no more to do than
any other man i'll the county, yet the attempt
is made, for the purpose of deceiving the UNI
suspecting, to connect the transaction with
Mr.. Hugunin's name. Could there be any
thing more base, than to thus covertly seek
to backen and defame the character of man
who has thus far been without reproach.
We have never uttered word against his
opponent, nor injustice can we, for we know
nothing against him. He is no doubt honest
and capable, but in all this he does not pre-
sent one claim superior to MIR. Hugunin
True, he is older man, and man of family
but SO far as an interest in the country is
concerned, and consequent feeling of re-
sponsbility, Mr.. Hugunin certainly occupies
as favorable ground as his opponent. But
this is idle; we expect a mans conduct to be
influenced by the fixed principles of his cha
racter, and Mr.. Hugunin's past character is
certainly a sufficient guaranty that the pow
or he may be entrusted with, will be proper
ly exercised. ...
We have pretty good evidence that no eff,
fort will be spared TO defeat Mr. Hugunin.
We caution all good citizens to beware of
SANDERS such as the above.

to be a democrat, but as this claim rests en-
tirely upon his own assertion, 1T cannot be
considered as well founded: he is, what one
of his countrymen styled him publicly, a
burlesque on democracy. AS we said be-

GFIt is true, as the American says, that
Irish names we're stricken off Democrat tick
cts last spring; it is equally true that 1t was
an unjustifable and un-democratic act, and
was done, in our opinion, by those who are
ather accidental democrats, than democrats
from principle: in fact, we know that many,
if not most of the tickets were BACKED by
wings and thrust into the hands of unsuspect-
ing democrats, for reasons which are suffi-
ciently apparent We do not anticipate that
the conduct of individuals will have the eff
feet to weaken the attachment of our natu-
ralized citizens, to the principles of their al
fections; and more particularly will it not in
this case, when these men take into consi-
deration, that with themselves, nearly every
native Democrat on the ticket was defeated
by the Same means.

We are told that Racine county has ne
yer been properly represented, except when
the seats were filled by wings; that Messrs.
James and Bullen, and particularly the lat
ter. were weak and inefficient, and that
Messrs. Strong and Frank were not much
better. Racine county has always been
we'll represented in the Council. Messls.
James and Bullen, and especially the latter,
were always recognized as able men and
second to none; Messrs. Heath and Hugu-
min, wings, were good men, and as for Mes
srs. Suong and Frank it is idle TO say aughl
against their qualifications. We say it in
candor, and those who are disposed to be
honest will admit it, that the success of the
wing candidates at the present time would
show sad falling off in the standing a I'd in
Auence Of the delegation from Racine.

WHlG PRINCIPLES.

In his letter, published on the outside Of
our paper of to-day, MIR. Read expresses the
opiuion, that after the Presidential and Con-
grcssional election, the Wing party will be
merged into and known as the Native Anne
rcan party. Tbs opinion, we imagine, was
not expressed without due reflection. Lei
us see if there any grounds for this opinion.
Henry Clay is said TO be the g life, soul and
embodiment of Wing principles" there ore
the views he entertans towards foreigners
may be considered as the views of the party
The constitution of Michigan allows aliens
to vote. When the subject of the adms-
sion of that state into the Union was before
the Senate, Mr.. Clay moved to amend the
bill by inserting after the word confirm "
the following words: ''erccW that proriSion
uh:ch admits aliens to the lights ofsufrage'
This was decided in the negative by vote
Of ii 10 %, MIR. Clay of course voting in ia
vor of the proposition.
When the bill to grant presumption rights
to settlers on the public lands was under
consideration in the Senate. on the 9th Of
January 1888, Mr.. Merrick, a wing Senator
from Maryland, moved an amendment, a:
follows: "Provided that the right of pre-
emption granted by this act or the act here.
by revived, shall not accrue TO any other
persons than those who were, on the frs
day of December. 1897. CITIZENS OF
UHE UNITED STATES" This amend
ment was rejected, yeas Is, nays 2S, Mr.
Clay voting in favor of,hc proposition.
However trifling these things may appeal
they yet show conclusively what are the sen
timents of him who is the g life, soul, ant
embodiment of wing principles" The
opinion then expressed by Mr.. Read, i
would seem bad good foundation. We maN
expect as soon as the election is over, tina
the wing party will throw off all disguise
and come ont in their true and proper color
as Native Americans.

The author THE above, whoever he may

voted against Mr.. French; we have no jus

The Liberty Party.

There is party Of brave men
(Which all may plainly see)
Arrayed here, in their native land,
Fighting for Liberty
They fight not with the sword Or gun;
But with weapons mild and sure,
They wage against dark slavery,
A war it can't endure.
These weapons are TO preach and pray
And scatter facts; but note
.AnOther. thing which dous their will
That is freeman's cote!
This little vote, if used by men
Who are for emancipation,
Will ere-long right the poor slave'swrongs
Throughout this mighty nation.
Yet slave-abettors often try
To stop the tide that's flowing!
But this one thing all men may know
The Liberty Party's growing
The volunteers are enlisting in
To meet the foe in battle,
And ere four years shall roll their round
Proud Savery's walls will rattle!
Their ranks will then he broken up
Their hosts all put to flight
And we, like Gideon's men of old
Will drive them till it 9 night!

ceeding through Taunton, England, with
a large Newfoundland dog, another an
imal of the same species came in contact
with it, and severe fight took place.
No one could stop them; policemen, spec.
tators not even the owner himself could
part them.--At last sober old gentleman
came by, took out his snuff box and watch
ing the opportunity, administered TO each
dog pretty freely. The effect was in
stantaneous--both animals quilted theil

dertakes to prove that Mr.. Clay is more
pious than Mr.. Polk And by what rule
do you think he works it Out! Thinking
our readers generally do not see the Free
Press, will tell them, In 1882, Mr..
Clay, being then a member of the II. S.
Senate and Mr.. Polk member of the
House, Mr., Clay introduced a resolution
proposing that joint committee of the
Two Houses, be appointed for the purpose
of waiting on the President, and asking
him to recommend day of Fasting and
Prayer by the people 9th Unied States
And what was this for2 Was it to ask
God 10 aid them in putting away their in
iquilies, so that He could consistently
bless them? No such thing as that, but
to ask Him 10 keep the AsiatIc Cholera
from this country, or; if He could not
consistently do that that its severity
might be miigated and its duration short
ened, Mr.. Clay sustained the resolu
ton in the Senate, but Mr. Polk voted
against it in the House. Is not this dec-
sive testimony that Mr., Clay is more pi-
Gus than Mr.. Polk ? This is all the tes>
timony introduced in this case.
