One OF the depravng modes ot electioneerins
introduced by WhigseIy is that of sending
strange percgrinating missionaries among the
people, assuming characters TO operate upon the
different classes whose garb they wear for the &C.
casion. There never were before such gangs Of
s,rollng players put in motion as during the last
and present campaigns for the Presidency, by
the immense fund derived from those who seek
10 make spoil Of the people through Federal le-
sislarion. Thousands of yagabonds, hired by
This fund, are abroad all over the country, en-
gagged in urging on the organization Of frauds
and pipelaying Tor the Notwithstanding libels
and printed iorgeries, and pouring out every

tongues receptions, falsehoods and SANDERS

We received a letter by Saturdays mail
from Pruniy Town, in Harrison county, (where
Orator Shnn, the great Wing convert lives,)
whichassures u.s. upon the most moderate estimate,
on the bes, authority shall carry that District
by 500 majority. Our Elector, J. johnson, Esq,
one OF the ablest speakers and the most sagacous
man in the Northwest estimates our ma jority even
higher
We received letter also hy last evenings
mail from Rockingham county Cot Friday las',)
which speaks in the most glowing terms of our
prospects in the Valley. The intelligent writer
estimates our majority in Rockingham at 1900,
Shenandoah 1900, Page GOO, and Pendleton about
G5-which will make 1865. To offset This, Au-
susla will give about $50, and Hardy $50 which
will leave MS 2i65. Our correspondent adds, if
Eastern Virginia does her duty, Virginia is safe
by al least 5000 (Let him he assured. the East
will do her du,v) The Wings of the Clay
Club in Richmond have had the folly TO send an
ignorant Dutchman TO address the Germans
which has only had the effect OF rousing Them
up, and bringing more Of them 10 the polls. Our
correspondent SAYS this imprudent act has done
the Wings more injury than any thing else.

CHARACTER OF CLAY-BY A MASTER
HAND

Mr.. Calhoun, in his able speech on The Sub
Treasury, in 1893, drew the following sketch,
true to life, of the peculiar traits Of mind Of his
antagonist No man, who has examined closely
the political career of Mr.. Clay will deny the cor
rec,ness of the sketch. II presents him as bril-
liant, rather than sound statesman; as one who
is continually in pursuit of new fancies, rather
than as steady and acau,ious legislator This
is c,npba,cally true OF Mr.. Clay. In early life
he was the advocate Of emancipation: now. he IS
neither for the measure nor against II. When
acting with the Democratic party he sgnaized
himself by his specch-by far The ablest he ever
madc-against L: S. Bank; now. he stands al
most solitary and alone its advocate. When the
suffering ofibe Greeks filled the heart OF every pa
irOt with sympathy none was more lo sa IMAM ne
now he is opposed to the extension OF
our Republican institutions, although, that
extension is designed 10 gather within the
pale of our Union our own relatives and

DON'T FORGET

DoS'r FORGET (Says the New Hampshire Ar
Gus and Spccaor) the old sins OF Whiggery.
DON'T FORGET that The Wings, before they
came into power in 1910, proicssed 10 be against
United States Bank, and after they came in,
they passed Two Bank bills both Of which were
vetoed by Tyler too, who Tins saved his country
from the despnlism and corruption OF such al in
sttution.
DON'T FORGET that the Wings before thew
came into power in 1910, protested tc he against
the removal OF men from office for opinions sake
assuring the country that "woscripiion siouH be-
prosrriGcd;" and that after they got into power they
removed more officers than all the administrations
proceeding from the foundation of the govern
incnt.
DON'T FORGET that they Eql<iv charged the
administration of Mr.. Van Buren with running
The country into debt forty millions OF dollars, and
that when they got into power they increased the
national debt from five millions 10 TWENTY
SIX MILLIONS.
AND DON'T FORGET that on good share
of this twentysix millions they fixed the rate OF
interest al q per cent, poyabic quarterly, which
was equal 10 per rcHi. for no other purpose than
10 put money into the pockets OF rich capitalists
who had taken the stock.
DON'T FORGET that they passed the IN
FAMOUS BANKRUPT LAW, by which
thousands OF honest men were swnded and ruined,
by dishonest md FRAUDULENT debtors
DON'T FORGET that they held an extra ses-
sion OF Congress and that they extended the first
session of The 9Th Congress 10 period longer
than any other session ever held under The present
Constitution, at an expense 10 the people of TWO
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
DON'T FORGET their infamous ialsehoods
about tie furniture OF the Presidents house in
1910. and that at The very session in which their
President came to Washington, they asked for
and obtained SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS
to lay on, in furniture Tor that very house; thus
admitting that all their representations about the
extravaganza of Mr. Van Buren, were false, wick
ed and vianous.
DON'T FORGET that the leaders Of Coonery
in 1870 promised the laboring man two dollars
4 day and roast beet if Harrison was elected;
and that, since then they have done nothing but
reduce the wages OF the laborer, and prescribe
him for voting contrary 10 their wishes.
Democrats, while you remember all these sins
and impurities oil Whiggery, pray DON'T LET
THE COONS FORGET THEM

III A. Il. MEN.
The face Of Nature lives with beauty.
But man neslects the bright display;
Acknowledgement Of his duty,
lie wears sightless life away!
How sweet the rosy morning breaking
Der dewy lawn and wooded hill -
Fair alchemisl !-al-golde making
The waving grove, the rimpling rill!
Goes with the sun imperial splendor
Ger sea and sky and fcslal earth;
From blue browed noon 10 twilight tender,
Each way, are orbs of heavenly birth!
When far away, mid flashing banners,
a countless army-sinks the sun,
What watch-Gres light the blue SayannahS,
With spirit-guards round every one
All through the night they burn and brighten,
The oulposts OF the heavenly land,
Beneath their rays the hill-lops whien,
And still as spell-bound giants stand.
And oh the moon pale mother Mary!
How fair she makes the balmy night,
Her brow may wane her beauty vary.
Through all her presence is delight!
Yes, ever lovely earth and ocean
Feel lairer in her silvery beam:
The swan OF heaven with slaleliest motion
She cleaves her blue, star-mbbled stream
Lo. like an arch by angels Bonded,
For triumph high in Spirit Land,
Enwreathed with flowers all.hued and blended
The rainbow Ger the valley spanncd!
Almost ii seems with beauty vital;
The valley CLOVIS meath its embrace;
And Won clear stream, with proud rcqulal,
Slides through its deeply mirrored grace.
All things around thus tell of Eden,
If man would only list and look;
All have beauty ar, exceeding,
From sunsets pomp 10 crystal brook.
The Seasons-each new creation
In linked circles press around;
"Le, there be lishr'-thc revelation
Responsive clothes the Gndal ground.
When Spring DER hill and dell is blushing-
A country girl all smiles and flowers
What constant melody is gushing
From countless MINISTRIES through the bowers
The crimson Summer has his glory,
And mellow Autumn rainbow light,
And Winter sear-likc, all hoary,
Sparkles with gems and robes of white.
These things are given us 10 inspire
A love for Natures gentle face,
Make man more willing 10 admire
His beautv-buidcd dwelling place.
Oh, YES if we would listen 10 it,
The anthem, round, below, above,
Each heart would leap 10 liic-a poet!
Each soul be hlimned with bliss and lore
For have learned these pregnant lessons
The soul is fashioned BY the spheres
ImperiShable in its essence,
Ii still the chain of Nature wears!
By beauty into beauty moulded,
Or marrcd by blackncss and By storm,
From influences which eniold it,

Who, then, would perfect strength inherit,
Must feed his soul al beauiy's iount-
The breast of Naturc-and his spirit,
In triumph, thence will slaward mount.
