WING BRAGGARTS.

We are gratifed to find that the
wings have thrown the strength of their
force into the game of Dragging. It's
manifest that they rely now chiefly on
bold assertion, a confident staggering
air and impurturbable impudence to
beat down the spirits, and with it the
power of the democracy. OF this sys-
TEN, betting is and important but most
expensive part. Where they do not
escape responsibility by the largeness
Of the stake, or the indisposition of
those whom they address, to bet, they
are led into hazards, which if they meet
them if they fall due, will melt down a
large piece Of the New England gold,
that has been thrown into our canvass.
But the favorite brag with the wings
now is, that, discarding their own
name and candidates, they have form
ed combinations that vii! carry the
city and County of New-York for Clay
and Fillmore by large majority
This, if true, they maintain will render
doubtful the electoral vote of this state
and We hear of this studied game Of
deception and wig Dragging, backed
by offers of large bets, being pushed
into the country with great industry.
The democrats may rest assured it is a
concerted scheme of buster and brag.
We would not knowingly mislead our
friends, particularly at this time, when
the temptations to close with rash and
bullying wagers of the "whigs" is diff
fcult to resist. We have therefore ia
ken great pains to learn from most re-
liable sources the precise situation of
/ political affairs in our populous and
highly excited commercial metropolis,
and although we are entirely confident
that if the city could be forced down to
an even vote, (which it cannot be) the
state is still safe by thousands for the
democratic ticket, yet we take pleas
ure in assuring our brethren in the in
terror that if any reliance at all is to be
placed upon the information derived
most recently from cautious and well
informed democrats, well acquainted
with the feelings and views Of the citi-
zens Of New York, as well residents
there as others, there can be no reason
able doubt the infexible and invincible
democracy of that noble city will Sc
cure to our State and Electoral tick
cts, a handsome and decided majority.
/ Rely upon it, that the Democracy
which has withstood Federalism under
all its phases and coalitions in nearly
all times and under nearly all circum-
stances, which resisted the profligacy
and corruption of 1910, the wicked
combinations, and the open, umblush-
ing efforts of the wealthyto overawe,
seduce or intimidate for the last eight
years, will not quail or finch now

1 MORE Mormon TRoUBLEs.-Week

Mormons were sent thither, by Gov.
Ford to attend and keep order. As
soon as they were discovered, two or
three hundred persons, distinguished

it was anticipated that they would

INCENDIARISMi

On the morning Of the 4th inst, the
Barn of one Of the Editors of this paper
20. Callaghan) was set on fire by some
incendiary. Mr.. c. had recently set
tied on a new farm, erected the Barn
and other buildings adjacent to his
timbered land, where the ineendiary
applied his torch, supposing that the
fire would communicate to the woods,
fences, &C., and thereby endanger the
farms of his surrounding neighbors, land
which must have had it not been for
the rain whichfell on the previous night
making every thing SO damp that the
cornbustible matter around the building
would not burn. Mr.. C's. Democrat
ic neighbours Of Mill Creek, Back
Creek, &c., had determined to fall in
procession to join persons from other
sections of the county and march TO
Fincastle to the Presidential Election.
Thesincendiary waited until Mr.. C.
had left for the Election, and until a.
bout the time the procession was ex-
pected to pass Mr.. C's. plantation and
thtssseefal impression is, that the in
tention was to communicate the fire a.
bout that hour in order to break up
the Democratic procession and prevent
the sterling Democracy of that neigh
borhood from going to the Polls. - The
Barn, with its whole contents, was
soon laid in ashes, inhicting very
heavy loss on Mr.. c., but it failed to
produce The effect which it is believed
was intended. The voters all went to
the Polls, and even Mr.. c. after going
home and Seeing his heavy affection,
returned totown and gave his vote for
the Republicans, POLK AND Dali
LAS. Mr.. C. accuses no one of burn
ing his property, but feels it his duty to
Law the circumstance before the public,
believing that public opinion will settle
the question. -Fincastle Democrat.
