PRESTON COUNTY.

Agreeably TO previous notice, large meeting of the
Democratic Republicans of Preston county was held a,
the Cont House, on Monday the 18th November,
1913 The meeting called to order by William G
Brown, Esqr: Whereupon, Samuel r. Trowbridge was
called 10 the Chair, assisted by Col Nathan Ashby-
and James ii. Carroll appointed Secretary. Upon
the call of the meeting Wrllam & Brown and
Harper, Esquires, addressed the meeting-at the cor
clusion Of which, w. G.. Brown offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which unanimously
adopted:
Whrcas, II is net only the privilege hut the duty OF
every citizen OF the Republic, TO feel and take deep
interest and active part in The administration Of public
affars-that there is danger 10 be apprehended
TO free institutions from the Indifference or
nattenons Of the people, than from any other
In Governments less favorable TO liberty than own,
the whole responsibility o: conducting the Govern
ment, rests the will of despot, that OF small
arisocratc minority at most; in such Governments the
people may indulge in inelorlous ignorance and indf-
ference about national affairs but institutions like ours
can only be successfully administered and have heal
thy tone and action when each individual feels that he
IS 10 his country and TO pose'y for the part
he may take in giving character and direction 10 his
Government. Then with view to enable citizen of
his country to his part wisely and probably, he
should keep careful watch upon the movements Of
public servants and political leaders, and whenever
they found inclined 10 introduce system of partial
legislation calculated to benefit few at The expense of
the many, or when they make promises which they
intend 10 fulfill with view of triing with and
decevng the people, he should be found ready 10 aid
in driving all such servants and leaders from their
places of power and trust, and in substituting others
having sounder political views and who are more hon.
estly inclined, in their stead.
And whereas, we believe that the Wbiy lenders in
lS40 made promises TO the people which they have ne
tried intended fulfil and those placed in power
and Office by virtue of such promises, have only dis
tngushed themselves for disregard of popular VIII
and representative responsibility, by hastily cnac,ng
laws most partial in their character, and demoraznr
in their tendency Therefore, be it
pledge ourselves all fair and honorable means TO
defeat the election Of the Wing candidate for the Pre-
sidsncy at the next election.
ResOlred, That Henry Clay, by his repeated disrs-
gard OF the will OF his constituents, manifested in
his course in 1924 in giving the vote Of Kentucky 10

Mn. ED1ToR-You failed to state Two
very important items in your editorial Of
last week-and as you still chang out"
a neutral flag, l will, with your permits
sion, give them to your readers.
You intimate thst She Wings viii unite
with the Softs, in electing J. w. Wells
over P. H. Shelton, in the Senatorial dis
trict, composed of Warren and Saint
Charles. This many of them will do,
provided there is no Wing candidate in
the field. And if there is no Wing in
the field, it will not be from the want Of
exertion on the part of the hards, TO in
duce one TO become a candidate. AS an
inducement 10 a talented Wing of St.
Charles, to be a candidate, they Offered
to give him 200hard votes in st. Charles,
if he would IL againt Wells. The
wing spurLed the offer-and since that
they have brought out Shelton, as a for
lorn hope-withOut the least probability
of his success. This fact have from
unqu~estiOnable authority-and under
stand Nh. Wells has made the charge
repeatedly, during the canvass, and it
has mover been denied.
Again-yOu think Col. Boon would
succeed better, if he would use little
less "gall and NORWOOD" in his speech
es. l agree with you hcre-but if you
had stated the cause of the Coils. bitter
ness on that occasion, perhaps with moi
of spirit and honorable feeling, 1t would
plead some apology for him. Mr.. Par
sons had harpeI upon The necessity Of
