RICHARD YEADoN, Esq, of Charleston, S. c.,
who accompanied the Richmond ! elegation to
the Mass Meeting at Yorktown, thus took leave
Of them, after their return to Richmond:
Fellow Wings Of Richmond: rejoice that,
like the gallant Laurens of our first war Of indie
pendence, have had the honor as the represent
tative of South Carolina, of bearing part at
Yorktown-tbat renowned and final battle field
of the Revoution-in the conflict just waged
again to rescue our country from British thral-
dom and British dependence, and. what is scarce
ly less important, political treachery and from
Locofoco rule. Like the old German Waterman
OF the Revolution, IN the streets of Philadelphia,
changing his woned note, Gas tradition tells in
stead Of crying " Past IL o'clock-all's weIl!'
here proclaim, "Past II o'clock and Cornwall
liz is taken !" Yes, CORVALLIS is indeed taken.
and all is we'll! The heights of Yorktown are
| Observation-Disclosures is demolished-our Union is
saved-Henry Clay will be our next President
America is once more victorious and independent,
and zoe are free! And now, fellow Wings and
generous compatriots ! bid you respectful, an
| affectonate, grateful farewell--wishing you
that peace and prosperity which are identified
with the success Of our glorious leader, our pa
triot candidate and | conclude with the cheer
ing chorus of your favorte song-glad augury of
your and your country's triumph
I" Here's to you Harry Clay
Here's to you, my noble soul
Here's to youacith all my heart;
And you shall be the peoples choice,
And that before we part
Here's to you, HARRY CLAY !"
The procession then made the welkin ring
with three cheers for South Carolina" and par
ted with their guest.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, ocTR %, 1874
WAKE UP, WHIGS!!!

Every well informed man must now regard the
election of Mr.. Clay as morally certain. And yet
the Wings should be vigilant, active, and enter
prising. 1t is not enough barely to elect Mr..
Clay-we should endeapor to ertermjnate Locofo-
cosm at blow. We should endeavor to sue
coed by such majority as crowned our efforts in
1870 1t car be done if every man viii do bis
duty. Let none stay from the polls under any
pretext unless it be dangerous illness. One vote
will often turn the scale in State; and it is not
impossible that that State may decide who shall
preside over US for the next four years.
The Importance of handful of votes was ne
yer better exenplifed than in the Presidential
contest of 1S4O, in Pennsylvania. That State is
the second in size in the Union, and next to New
York casts the largest electoral votes. In 1910,
Gen. Harrison received i, by only three hundred
and odd votes, number which any county pre-
cinct will poll. We feel quite confident, indeed
certain of electng Mr. Clay without Pennsyva-
mia but nevertheless, we shall greatly rejoice to
see the vote Of that State cast for him and it
can be done with all imaginable ease, il the Wings
are vigilant. They have nothing like the major
ity to overcome now, which stood in their way IN
1910. We are sanguine of Pennsylvania. We
have not word to say about Tennessee. The
Wings are always awake there, and in no part Of
the Union does Mr.. Polk and Locofocoism get SO
many hard thrusts as in Tennessee. In Ken
lucky, Ohio Indiana, New York, in word, in all
the Northern and Western States, the Wings are
thoroughly reused.
Let Southern Wings catch the spirit of en-.
ergy in the breezes from the North and West
They haue the confidence, but there is sometimes
danger of indugng too much confidence unless
it is accompanied by corresponding action. II
would be shame and disgrace not to beat James
K. Polk dreadfully-awfully- unprecedented
In fact it is disgrace to have TO against such
man, but that is the fault of the Locofocos-
let's beat them out Of countenance.

TYLERISM.

WILLIAM HOGAN, Esq, of Boston, who was the
editor of a Tyler organ some time since in Bos-
ton-who was afterwards appointed by Captain
Tyler to Consulship, and then to place in the
Boston custom-house-has recently been dismiss
sed from office, by order of Captain Tyler and Bob,
and the Madsonian, because, 1st, bis paper is
dead and can be of no further use to His Acct
dency; IDLY, he was once Catholic Priest, but
turned Protestant many years since, and is now
opposed to oConnell and Irish Repeal, and hence
has incurred the iil-will of Catholic Locofocos,
who have duplicated his removal; and 3ly
John Tyler stands ever ready to sacrifice any one
10 whom he is, no matter how deeply, indebted,
in the vain and foolish hope Of lettering his own
condition with the Locofoco party. Such is Tn.
leriSm
Hogan's letter TO the New York Journal of
Commerce, on the subject of his removal is hay-
ing wide circulation.

PENNSYLVANIA.
ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COM
MITTEE, TO THE PEOPLE OF PENN
SYLVANIA
THE POPULAR VOTE ON CONGRESS-.
From The Harrisburg Intelligencer, Extra

FELLOW CITIZENS 1T is now ascertalned
that on the CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION, the Dem
ocratIc Wings have majority in their favor OF
4,7Sl votes! Mr.. Skunk has majority over
General Marke of about four thousand votes ;
but that was given on STATE POLITICS, in regard
to which many voted from personal preferences, or
local causes. The Congressional vote, on the
other hand, has respect to NATIONAL POLITICS,
and the near five thousand majority given on
that question in favor of the Wings, may be
reckoned as SO much of preference by the peo-
pie for the election of Mr.. Clay, and the objects
to be accomplished by his success.
In reference, therefore, to the Presidential
election, the popular vote of Pennsylvania has
gone against Polk and Dallas; which proves to
the friends of Clay and Frelinghuysen, that if
they but exert themselves to bring their full
force to the election on the first OF November
next, the State is ours beyond all question.
In l84O the Van Buren, party claimed ma
jority on the election of Congressman Of from ff-
teen to twenty thousand votes. Their Central
Committee claimed such majority in an address
to the public, and the Wings admitted that they had
| lost the State on that election by about eight
| thousand. Still, General Harrison was elected
in November following. How encouraging are
these facts to the friends of Clay, the tariff, and
generally the American policy What an as
| surance of victory as their reward for patriotic
exertion.
1t is not doubted therefore, that every Demo-
| cratic Wing, every one who feels the Importance
| OF placing the administration of the General Gov
vernment into hands that will conduct it on sound
principles, and for the establishment Of American
measures on permanent footing, will consider
hmself'an aciire Committee man from this time
to the election, 10 push forward the Wing force,
and be himself at the polls with his ticket in hand
to deposit it early in the day. Such zeal, and such
labor for but few days longer, will not only
carry this State, but uniailingly ELECT HENRY
CLAY!
We subjoin table of the votes given in the
Congressional districts, by which it will be seen
that the majority given for the Wings is as we
have stated.

VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT.

The large space in the Globe usually occupied
by the llbeous, scurrous and bingsgate cir
culars Of "Syntar and Prosody," was filled last
evening, we perceive, by very interesting art-
Gle about the celebrated Frederika Bremer. We
record this as a wonderful Improvement in the
Globes appearance. Perhaps however, the ma
nutactnrers (whoever they may beg of falsehoods,
the most gross and ridiculous, for the signatures
of Syntar and ProsOdy," are just now out of
sorts e&hausted-and this may be the cause of
the visible improvement in question. No matter,
however, what the cause may be, we give the
Globe credit for the improvement

and the port of Montevideo will be thrown open

reign Paupar-labor Hard-money bread of Europe,
il 10 show the people of this country how impos.
sible il is for American laborcrs to compete with
the labor Of Europe sustained by such food, with
oul the protection of the Government. Amer.
can aoorer5 ought not and will not eat such

bread, and the policy of the Wings is to give
them that to which hey are entitled by their in
d1stry. The European Iaborers are made to feed
upon the Pauper-l tbor Bread, and their work is,
Of course, proportonably cheap. Who wants

4 GEM IN MORALITY.

The most beautiful flower in the two hoquets
Of modern, progressive Democratic morality, put
forth by "Syatar and Prosody," in Monday eve-
nng's Globe, is the brazcn-faced confession and
boast, by SeagStack, that the LocofoCo Executive
Committee Of this Metropolis are enjoining it
upon their followers to cheat and deceive the
higs-to etwhat money they can Of them, I'M
der the pretence that they wish to have their ex-
penses borne to the places where they are enti-
tied to vote, and where they wish to 90 and vote
the Wing ticket-and then to vote with the Lo-
cotocos We make the following extract from
SengStacf'$ shameful confession and boast. He
says -
THE day before the Maryland State elections
took place, some few Democrats and legal voters
of Baltimore, who had come on to Washington
III pursuit OF employment, repaired to the car Of
fee, in order TO gn home to vote. Before the de-
parture of the cars, several coon emissaries Gap
parenlly unfedged) were seen running to and fro
with their hands full of money, or rather bank
notes, and accosting every man that fell in their
way with" agoing to Baltimore, sir, TO vote I!
have you the means to pay your way if not,
here take this money, and now go and do the
right thing" ...
" The Democrats who were thus accosed of
course took the money thus offered them, and
went on and voted the Democratic ticket, help
ing 10 make up that large majority of 1922,
which agonzed the tender consciences of the
coons almost as much as our circular. But this
is not all. When they returned, they came for
ward and paid over this same pipelayng money
into the funds OF the Democratic Association, in
order TO assist in paying for the printing of the
very circular under which they wrlhe and vince,
and cant and whine, and pirate about pro1gacy
and corruption glibely if they never circulated
" ltoorback" forgery, or ''a Voice of Warning"
or baked bran-and .saWdust bred Now Mr..
Scrlbbier, pat this and that together, and make
the most Of IT, We got your money to help to
pay for exposing your villany to the country"
Now, here is talsehood, manufactured out
right as a justification OF, or an excuse for, the
rare specimen of MORALITY which is incucated,
boasted Of and goried in To what state of
things we are coming, when FALsEHooDs of this
nature and MORALITY of this species are openly
set on foot by a committee of Locofocos in Wash.

THE GAME UP,

No one can fail to infer from tho tone of the
Globe, that the editors of that paper have given
over all hope of electing Mr.. Polk. Instead of
entering with spirit in the closing scenes of the

ces, the object of which is to convince the world
that John Quincy Adams has been guilty Of forg-
ing an entry in his own diary! ..

THE "NATIVEs" IN NEW YORK.

The New York papers of yesterday are filled
with accounts of an immense meeting of the Ma

Monday evening. For numbers, enthusiasm,
pageantry and display, this meeting is represents
ed to have placed all the gatherings of the Wings
and the Locolocos completely in the shade The
speeches, transparencies, fireworks, and music,
it is said, were all very animated and sprit-stir-

great doings to indicate how the Native Ameri-

contest.
