THE FAIRNESS OF A FANATIC.

There is published in Boston daily abolition
paper called the Morning Chronicle, the weekly
edition of which is known as the Emancipation"
as rabid. fanatica and vrulent an abolition jour
nal as can be found in the country. 1t is edited
by Reverend Mr.. Leavitt whose coat and heart,
judging from his editorials and the bitter ma
lightly manifested towards Mr.. Clay, are of the
same color. The Rev. gentleman, for some time
in 1892, especially assumed the disguise of a
Wing. and boarded with Wing mess in this
city upon the Hill" but, getting little warm
one day, he let fall some of the real sentiments
OF his heart, which excited surprise and inquiry.
which was finally pushed SO far by two members
Of Congress, one not now living, that he was
driven to the confession that Notwithstanding the
disguise he wore, he was anxious to bring about
the utter defeat and prostraton of the great
Wing party. From this time the sleeps clothing
was stripped from him; and he stood before the
world Locofoco, destructive, abolitionist OF the
most ultra third party stamp. AS such, he
industrious'y picks up all the falsehoods and lbels
published in the Locofoco papers against Mr..
Clay and, after CLOSING them over with little
of his own unctious piety, in order to make them
60 down more easily the Threats of his own read
ers, puts them into his paper always forgetting,
however, to publish their refutaton from the
Wing papers. In one of his late papers we Oh
serve, under woodcut portrait of Mr.. Clay, sew
eral extracts published, purporting TO be taken
from Mr.. Clay's speeches, some of which, with
the exception Of being garbed and stripped Of
the context by which they are explained, may be
correct, while others are sheer fabrcations from
beginning to end, and known to be SO by this
sanctmonious Maworm.
Among the extracts kept standing in his paper
is the following
eff gentlemen will not allow lis to have black
slaves, they must let us have aohite ones for we
cannot cut our .frewood, and black our shoes. and
HAVE OUR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS
WORK IN THE KITCHEN."-Cla speech
in 1872
An unmitigated falsehood.
There is nearly column of extracts and ar
ticles calculated and intended to prejudice the
people of the North against Mr.. Clay.
With "these few lines" we leave the Rever-
end Mr.. Leavtt to enjoy all the eclat which this
honest advocacy of truth must give him.

PROGRESS OF THE WING cAUsE.-Within the
last year, elections have been held in eleven
States, in which the Wings have been triumph
ant. The States TO which we refer, are Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Georgia, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New Jersey, and New York. These
States give 1877 electoral votes One hundred
and thirty-eight votes elect the President. OF
course no intelligent man can honestly doubt
that Mr.. Clay will have three-fourths of all the
votes in the electoral colleges. Jour.
What has become of that famous pyramid of
Locofoco States which we lately saw in all the
Loco papers, whose towering peak, capped by
Ohio, reached to the skies, and emuated the
famous tower Of Babel? Have its architects
been stricken with ga confusion of tongues, 4"
scattered to the four quarters Of the Glo6;, and
the tower itself left to totter to its fall At all
events it has vanished.

From BUENos AYREs-We have letters and
papers from Buenos Ayres, to Feb 18th. There
seems to have been no marked progress in the
seige of Montevideo, but it was said in Buenos
Ayres that the Corrientes army had been driven
out of the province of Entire Rios
There had been several ncursons of Indians
upon the frontiers of the province of Buenos
Ayres, who had stolen many cattle and killed
several of the inhabitants, but Rosas had made no
demonstration against them. He had been suffer-
ing from severe disease, but had been relieved by
an operation performed by DR.. Lepper, an Eng
lishman.
Letters speak of two important mercantile fail.
urcs in Buenos Ayres. Those of the Spanish or
Creole firm of Orsz Basueldo and the Brazilian
house of Viera & Timoteo.
Don Cpriano Urquiza, the delegate governor
of Rios, was murdered by bandtti at his resi-.
dence in Nogcya, on the 9th of January.-Bos-

"a WET BLANKET. !"

We feel some curiosity to know what Mr.
Richie, of the Enquirer, will say about Mr.
Van Buren's letter. If the editor of that pa
per was sincere in his declamatory appeals to
Virginia prejudice IN reference TO annexation
previous to the election, we cannot see how he
can consistently support Mr.. Van Buren,, who
avows himself unqualifedly hostile to the pro-
ject The editor did all in his power to in
jure Mr.. Clay on the supposition that he was
opposed TO the Texas scheme; and with his
views of the essential importance Of the meas
ure, it would be fair to infer that he will draw
off from the support Of the "sweet little fell
low" We sympathise with Mr.. R. in his per-
plexity.

Will some of the Democratic party" tell us
BY what prescriptive right the Hon. Ezra Dean,
member of Congress from the Stale of Ohio,
was permitted to leave his seat in the House of
Representative and come into Virginia upon the
eve of an election and make stump speeches for
the good of that party-he, at the same time,
drawing his eight dollars per diem from the pup
lie treasury TO do the business of the nation ;
Mr. Clay is accused Of being on an eectioneeriDg
tour the accusation is false; and those who
made it, knew it be so. But admitting it wao
true, Mr., Clay is private citizen, and travels at
his own expense. The United States Treasury
don't pay him eight dollars day to electoneer
for any body or any party, But the Democrats,
while making this issue with Mr. Clay, are per-
fectly willing themselves to have the services of
men travelling at the public expense to election
eer for them.-NorfoM Herald.

DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTIONS Delegates
from all quarters, to the Gubernatorial, the Ma
tional and the Grand Ratification Conventions,
are pouring into our city The Western train of
cars last evening and the Southern train this
morning-the trains also from the North, yester-
day afternoon and last night, were all filed with
an unusual number of passengers. The Mays
vile Clay Club, from Maysville, KY, having
with them quite rustic and significant banner,
made of kentucky hemp, with appropriate in
scriptions arrived last evening, and selected
Barnum's as their headquarters. The city al
ready presents moving, animated throng. At
every corner, and in almost every street, may be
seen strange faces. Our exchange papers in all
directions speak of the arrival and departure of
Wings for Baltimore. Ii would seem as il the
whole country was moving on splendid pill
grimage. The avalanche of the people will
soon be upon us, when the Nation shall be again
called to order.-BaH. Patriot.
