Does any great question agitate the popular mind

While we desire that the Wings should attend
locotoco meetings, we hope. and it is the desire
of the wing party generally, that the members of
the locofoco party and all persons who hold a
neutral position, will attend our meetings, and
hear the principles of our party dehned. We
court enqury-we challenge scrutiny-wc offer
to the consideration Of the people principles
which we are WINGED will if faithfully carried
out, tend to the happiness and prosperity of the
whole country, and we present to them for their
sufrages, candidates of the highest character and
integrity, pledged to advance those principles

CHANGES.

It is scarcely possible nowadays to
take up locofoco paper without finding
its columns pretty we'll flled with glow
ing accounts Of changes from the wing
party to theirs. Amongst these lists of
changes, from time to time few names
have appeared, known to the people here
about, for instance: VIM. Cost Johnson,
J. V. l.. McMahan, Louis nicLane. Cole
man Yellott, Sc, in each of which cases
the charge of change has been false II
has also been currently reported in this
county that the Hon. John NJ Clayton
had turned to be locofoCo. Let those
who believed tina, report and also those
who did not, read his mastery speech
which we publish in this paper.
Up through Chester county, Pa it has
been widely told that Mr.. Foard, sheriff
of this county, and likewise the editor OF
this paper had left the whig ranks. No
one here, we presume, will ask either Of
us for public denial of the charge.
But to the changes with which their
papers are crowded. We believe them all
to be falsehoods. The Wing papers in
the places where it is alleged they have
occurred say they are untrue.
1t was precisely the same way in 1910.
Their papers then were crowded with
columns Exchanges. We will quote from
the Baltimore Republican of July 3lst.,
1910: which happens to be before us a,
this time. Among long list of changes
TO be found i'll 1t, is the following:
"CLARk COUNTY [ohio] AWAKE"
The people are beginning to awake to
their interests. The honest portion of the
wing party, are rapidly casting their delu-
siye scales from off their eyes, and coming
over to support of Van Buren,, Johnson,
Shannon and democracy. We few days
since received letter from an Intelligent
friend in Clark county, containing the
most cheering news. Speaking of the log
cabin raising, which took place in Spring
field on The 18Th uil., saws:
"Let the foolish and deluded hard cider
ties continue their revellng and nonsense.
It is working wonders for democracy.
The honest and candid portion of their
party IN this county were completely sick
ened and disguised a. the conduct of the
Harrscnites on the 18Th in Spring. field.
There has been in this county, CLARK
since the cabin raising, at least THR EE
HUNDRED CHANGES from federalism
to democracy. This is no dream, BIZ!
reality.
Yours, SC.
Reader do you hear this7-THREE
HUNDRED CHANGES in favor of de.
mocracy in one county, within less than
a month. No wonder the feds consider
their cause desperate. 1t is fast sinking.
Hard cider has lost its charms, and the
people are raIlying to the support of rea-
son and principles
Now we find nothing in these days in
the line Of changes 10 beat that. But by
referring to the election returns from that
same Clark county, we find that Harrison
got 1881 votes, and Van Buren, sos, which
compared with former elections shows
that the changes were from the locoiocs
over to The wings. And as in that year,
while they were Boosting of such great
accessions to their ranks, thousands were
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1844-07-13

some allege tina, the mob broke in and
kIledhim without any justification; others
that an attempt was made by his followers
to rescue him-that he shot upon the
guard him sell, and was killed in the affray.
The excitement is very great and il will
be some time probably before the truth
appears. The leaders of the Mormons
are enlreasing their people to preserve
peace.
10. Smith then has terminated lis career,
when his followers will desert their city
and their faith is another question. He
was one of the most remarkable men of
the country and the age, and i.remains to
be seen whether he will be idoIized or
discarded whether his SYSTEM Of religion
will reach down through centuries and
continue 10 gather its thousands Of believ-
ers, or be thrown aside as humbug and
delusion.

S5AIbert Constable Esq. addressed a
locofoco meeting at Johnson hotel on
Tuesday evening. Some wings were
present and have furnished us with many
of his remarks, but we cannot avail our
selves 'of tlrem for want ofroom.
In speaking ofNovernors of this State,
he said that the last two in point of pri-
vate and moral worth, and social qualities

As a set-of1 to his reference to Mr.

An interesting and highly. important ex-
pertinent is now being tried in Pennsyl~

suit of which we shall look with no in
considerable degree OF curiosity. !, is,
to test the amount Of credulity Of the
Democratic portion Of the people ofthose
States. The first trial is, to see if they
can be made to believe that JAMES K.

.th0Tm0n II OHbtcS-Dedh Of 10. SHtlk:
For some length of time past the Nor
mons at Nanvoo have been taking upon
themselves unauthorized responsibilities,
and to some extent setting the law of the
state at defiance. The fact that The de
gion' consisting of 2 1000 men were fully
armed and equipped for fight and had as
sumed menacing attitude, spread consid-
cradle terror throughout the surrounding
country and caused Gov. Ford with body
of military to proceed to their city 20 de-
mand their arms and artillery. On their
way they me. the Prophet" and number
of his council on the road to Carthage to
deliver themselves up to the civil authori-
ties and demand legal investigation.
Smith and his brother Hiram were placed
in the Jail at Carthage under guard Of go
men and Gov. Ford proceeded to Nauvoo
with about 100 soldiers and an order from
Smith for the arms. This was on the 9Th
ult.
On the afternoon Of that day the Jail
was broken into by an armed crowd and
10, and his brother were shot. The pre-
else facts in the case cannot be had on
account OF the contradictory statements
