LETTER FROM MR.. CLAY.

We direct the attention of our readers TO the
Interesting letter from Mr.. Clay, in another col
urn Of our paper. 1t will be there seen that Mr..
Clay brings Loco Foooism right up before the bar
Of the people, and boldly charges them not only
with perverting his language and misrepresenting
hi. course but with rakng up scraps from tattered
and obsolete newspapers and even resorting to
forgery and fabrication, to fad the materials to
yiIify and yitupeTaie him.
Let them deny it, and in their denss come for
ward 10 the face Of day and bring the documents.
Let the white slavery story the light. let the
cradle 10 which its infancy rocked be presented
to the public and more particularly the South
Why not tell the good People that the "Emancipa-
tor" tina leading Abolition paper of the North
the sr.t to bring it forward ia an abusive article on
Mr.. Clsys course on the Missouri question--tha,
act in his life which has so much undeared him to
the South and the Union. Why not tell the South
100, that Joshua Levitt, the Editor Of the Enamel
pator, iss f1ll.blooded Loco Foco, and the same
man who, in his paper proclaimed that George
Washington ieas nor dead and in he'll, as he had
iived and died stakeholder. The above is
specimen only of the many ISLANDERS which the Loco
Focos arc resortiog to to defeat Mr.. Clay, but he
may well say "that truth ia omnipotent, and pub
will record the verdict of public gratitude, and the
triumphant vindication by the people of his long,
useful, and patriotic life.

GRATUITOUS FALSEHOODS


The Richmond Enquirer OF Tuesday
talks Of the "coonish beasialities" of the
Wings at the Baltimore Convention, and
says the "scene was disgraced by the
grossest debauchery and dissipation"
This is the repetition Of the infamous
ISLANDERS of the election Of 1910, which
should at once be arrested by branding
ell who utter or circulate them as gratul.
tous liars. We use the strongest WORDS
designedly, because the offence which
we desire to rebuke is one that, in aim.
ing TO degrade very large number of as
respectable American citizens from every
portion of the Union as the whole Union
contains, is calculated to Gisparage and
degrade the American character in the
eyes of the world.
We brand, then, again as gratultous
liars, all who make or insinuate charges
such as those above quoted from the Rich.
mond Enquirer. Nor is it any pallation
of the guilt aad dishonesty of such stories
that they are uttered on the authority of
others; for, with equal alacrity to ascer-
tain truth that is exhibited in circulating
fasehood, it could have been ascertained
hey peradventure that more orderly,
goodtempered, gay, and w;thal sober COL
lection of people, has rarely if ever been
seen.

ton OF several days, when We say, that
during the whole period, when excite
ment was constantly kept up and renew.

with their banners, music, emblems, and
even live coons-very knowing looking
creatures, but very quiet withal-we saw

We are called upon 10 perform. as a tribute of
respect and for the information of surviving dis.

death of Mrs. NAScr Moon, late consort of Mr.
Hiram Moon, of Fsyette County, Ohio.

in no ordinary manner, the virtues Of faithful wife
in the tenderest and strongest union with one who
knew how to value her in life, but does not know
how to resign himself in the loss that he has sus-
tanned by by her death.
Soon after her marriage, her constitution suffer
ed shock from which she never recovered. The
consumption gradually developed itself, and since
the month of January il was but too manifest that
she must soon go the way of all the earth. When
the speedy approach Of death was first apparent To
herself, she nstinctivey revolted at the thought Of
so early separation from those for whose sake she
so Justly desired 10 live. But when the will of
Him, from whose hand proceed the issue Of life
and death, was fully impressed upon her mind, she
calmly resigned hersef to that will and gracious.
ly prepared through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
she departed this life with good hope through
grace of living to die no more.
