HENRY CLAY, A MORAL y POLITICAL TRAI-
ToR.-Henry Clay commenced life a Democrat,
he turned traitor to the Democratic party.
He tnrned Wing, and then became a traitor
to the Wing party; for on the authority OF Daniel
Webster in 1888, he abandoned tho principles
of Protection.
He is a traitor to his private friends. Gener-
al Harrison said solemnly. that he had loaded
him with benefits and been repaid with the black
est ingrattude.
He is a traitor TO the laws of God, and man,
for he has always been a duellist, and has re-
peatedly shown a willingness 10 shed the blood
off fcllow-creature on the field of honor.
He is a traitor TO the decencies of public and
paivate life. He profanely cursed the Speaker
of the House of Representatives on the floor of
Congress. The unblushing c~onfessor Of all
these t%reasons, shall the TRAITOR be raised to
the highest office in the gift of the nation?

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The New York Sun, a neutral paper, says
1t is difficult in these times of political excite,
ment to understand the true principles of candi-
dates for high stations. We read in the p"artizan
papers of the day, the assurance that the Hon.
Mr.. Clay is devoted TO the present Tariff, and
that under no circumstance will he consent to
abandon a high protective Tariff, and that APP
pears to be the general impression every where
prevailing in this section of the country. On
reading Mr.. Clay's last speech in the Senate,
March 1912, on this highly absorbing topic, we
find he uses the following frank and candid Ian,
guage:
"Let me not be misunderstood, says Mr.. Clay,
and let me entreat that | may not be misrepre-
sented. lam not advocating the revival of a
high protective tariff. ! am fol abiding by the
principles of the Compromise act. l am for do
ing what no Southern man of a fair and candid
mind has ever yet denied, giving TO the country
a revenue that may provide for the economical
wants of the Government, and at the same time
give an incidental protection to our home indus
try"
We can conceive no greater act Of injustice
and unfairness, than 10 attribute to a distinguish,
ed candidate for office, sentiments and opinions
directly the reverse of those he utters in the
most public manner, on the floor of Congress
We find from the above that Mr.. Clay abandons
a high protective tariff, and goes in favor of the
old Compromise act.

Song of the DYING.

Disease had we'll nigh done its work-the
flame but %glimmered in the socket-one moment
more, and il would be out. The dying girl cal
led, by her waving hand her sister TO her, and
family breathed forth the wish that she would
sing. sing some sweet. melody, that she might
leave earth with the tones of inspiring music on
the ear,-"And what dear sister, would you
choose for me to sing?" 'Sing Harriet my ia
vorite-I leave earth willingly" said the dying
girl. The sister we'll knew her choice, and she
sat down to the instrument and brought forth its
softest, sweetest tones; they were indeed born Of
heaven, never had music a holier influence than
when it breathed forth the elevated thoughts of
a dying one, dying in the beauty of her youth,
and vet willing TO depart. We look on her with
sacred awe we felt we were in the presence of
being of another world, who was soon to know
the mystery of death. What a calm and beauti-
full expression was on her COuntcnancc! What
a glow was on her check, and a brillIancy in her
eye, as the notes Of the favored song rose sweet
and clear, and seemed to float around the couch
of the dying! Oh! is not that religion worth pos
sessing, that enabled her to wear a heavenly smile
at the last moment, and show that she felt the
words that were uttered, though she could not
speak them! and she died as the sister repeated -
" would not live always away from my God
Away from yon heaven that blisslul abode.'
There was much to wean thee away, fair SIS
ter ofthe gentle speech and tender eye! "Storm
after Storm did indeed "rise dark DER thy way
and heaven was fairer to thee than earth, And
when the pale conquerer comoth TO bear me from
this sladowy world may thy sweet cheerfl!ness
be mine and some gentle one TO sing me 10 death's
sleep as thou vert. Sweet sister! we part from
earth's melody, for the purer and noble harno'
MES of heaven! Tho strains that greet US as we
linger on the shores of mortality are not the last
for their harps and voices in that home that awaits
us all, and everlasting songs will be sung to the
praise of our Father and our God.

MILLERESM,

The Louisville Courier gives the annexed ac-
count of a recent scene in that city:
TREMENDOUS ExCITEMENT-lMMENsE CROWD
AT THE "BIG observation-disclosures DE-
SERTED WEEPING AND PRAYING.-The excite
ment in this community, in regard to Millerism,
is much greater than we had supposed--much
greater than one who has not visited the "Big
Tent" conld imagine. The scene presented
there on Sunday night, was certainly a very re-
markable one. The immense tent was filled
with thousands of persons, every seat and spot OF
ground being occupied, and still thousands had to
60 away unable even TO get inside. The church.
es throughout the city were almost entirely de-
serted, so eager we're all to hear the doctrines
held by Miller and his followers expounded. A.
mong the vast assembly in the great tent, we mo-
ticed people of every profession, and every class
Of society. The high, the low, the rich, the
poor, the aristocrat, the democrat, preachers,
saints and sinners, men, women, children and
"niggers" all crowded and jammed together, and
almost sufocated with the dust, heat and smoke.
After the sermon had been preached, and it was
a very reasonable, sensible sermon, which none
could object 10; came a scene which beggdrs de-
s~cription. 70 be realized, il would have to be
seen. The mourners or converts, of whom there
wero a very large number, threw themselves in
dust and dirt around the pulpit, and for nearly
an hour, men and women were praying, singing,
shouting, groaning and weeping bitterly. The
negroes, appeared TO be very generally alarmed,
and humid eds Of them we're crying and making
the most hideous noises. The preachers did not
set any certain time for the destruction of the
world, but stated that they were expecting i
hourly, and would watch and pray until il did
come.

PRESENTATIONS Of this Iife.

We have come to the conclusion that there are
still things in this world worth living for, and for
the beheit of all %grumblers, we shall here men
ton a few of them.
1t is perfectly delightful, when doing the amia-
BILE and affe citing the graceful in ball room, for
a clumsey dancer 10 drop his heavy heel upon
our tenderest corn. You can't swear, you can't
stamp, and all you can do is to "grin and bear
it.n
1t is especially agreeable to find a loafngt &C.
quaintance to be in possession of your morning
paper, and to sit trying to be civil while the said
l~ounging friend deliberately spells over the ad-
veTtisements.
Nothing can exceed the qualification OF having
a wag next you loosen the top of the pepper cas-
tor, so that when your plate is supplied and ar
ranged in exact accordance with the precise no
tons of your palate, needing nothing more than
seventeen grains of pepper, you may dash The
whose contents of the cruet on to your dish.
There is a peculiar satisfaction, during a long
spell of heavy rain, in trying to remember who
it was that borrowed your umbrella the week be-
fore.
A very fascinating delight lies in having a
drunken barber seam your cheeks and chin with
graceful scars and gashes, TO be fancifully closed
with court plaster-N. o. Picayune.

NUMBER 80.
POST THE

1t may be cheering to the Democracy to exam
inc the account with the Wings occasionally.
The Wings have published so many ridiculous
and false estimates of the electoral vote, that an
occasional posting of the account with them be-
comes necessary. The elections IN New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Georgia have just temi'
mated. All of these States, except Pennsylva-
MIA, were claimed, with much confidence, by the
Wings for MIR. Clay. The result of the elections
just held shows, at least, that Georgia must be
transferred from Clay 10 Polk. There is now
no more doubt of Georgia than there is of New
Hampshire. In Ohio the result is so close, that
no candid man of either party can claim it con-
~fdently. But the condition of the Wings and
Natives in Philadelphia will induce, We believe,
every naturalized citizen OF Ohio 10 vote the De-
mocratic ticket. In that case the State of Ohio
will cast her vote for Polk and Dallas.
We give the following estimate, from which
our readers may Judge of the probable result;

RUSSIAN HABrTs.--The bearded Russian no
matter what influence be may derive from his
wealth, is still a gross barbarian. His odor is III
supportable-arising from a variety of causes,
but chiefly from the vapor bath, which he is SO
fond of and which he enjoys at a heat sufficient
to cook a fsh.--The steaming results of this, con-
sidering the nature of his diet, may be family
guessed at.
He eats large quantities of the rank hempseed
oil, either as Il soup or in a pastry his buckwheat
or his Vegetables, during the fast, which lasts hall
the year. But the principle bulk of his food is
the fermonted cabbage, and the sour black bread
which is scarcely more nourishing them bran.
Something ofthe essence of all these things seems
to stream through his pores with the perspira'
ton.

1t is admitted by Mr.. Clay himself, that his
success is problematical in Kentucky. A change
Of less than two thousand votes from Whiggery
to Democracy, would defeat Mr.. Clay in his own
State. The friends of Henry Clay in Kentucky
are carefully watching the movements of his ne
phew, Casius M. Clay, in his attempt to win over
the Abolitionists. Our friends in Kentucky
have strong hopes eff the State; and we believe
they are well founded yet, as The Wings are san.
guine of success there, we have considered the
State as probable for Clay.
Indiana we have classed as probable for Polk;
but we will say to our readers that our friends
in that State have no doubt of the result; they
say it will 60 for Polk by thousands. E.
We have no doubt of the election of Polk by
a large majority, both of the popular and electo-
raj vote. We are satisfied of another fact, and
we think the popular vote of each State will
show it. That is, in all the States. in which the
issue on all the great questions, the Bank, Tar
if, and Annexation, have been fairly made the
Democratic party will make a large gain; and
we will only loose in those States in which the
issue has been fairly understood Or misrepresont-

A Prairie Scene.

The following incident, described by the edi-
tor Of the Picayune, occurred during the Santa
Fe expedition in Mexico.
"We were descending a gentle slope when
suddenly a bulfllo came dashjng by, closely pnr-
sued by an In liam mounted upon Il small but
beautiful formed horse, of fine action and short
but quick and fl IN stride. He was aimed with
a lance, dressed in a tight buckslin shirt, and
his long black hair, although partially confined by
a yellow band about his head, was floating gent
ly in The breeze. Close by was another Indian,
and both were in such hot pursuit Of the buffalo
that, although within twenty or thirty yards, they
did not appear TO notice our Jersey wagon, not
witlstanding it must have been a novelty.
CLOS Indjosm said Mr.. Navarro, feeling about
in the bottom of the carriage for our rifles.
"Camanches!" said Fitzheraid, pummelling
and bieking the mules into ill-assortcd and most
~unseemly gallop.
"The whole tribe !'said |, as | looked out the
hind end of the wagon and saw still another In
dian dashing down the hill with the speed of the
wind and, as | then thought making directly for
us.
1t is no use denying that we were all sudden

our rifles and prepare for an attack.-Tbe trail

us in the race, and just as we were turning a lit

convinced us that succor was near if needed and
that all danger was over.
