Der the injuries ofthe Duke of Orleans" said
NJ. R:tche for NJ. Polk the other day. because
Mr.. Polk had the magRanimity not TO re-
move Mr.. Wise from the Court Of Brazil.
Rather say the courage. Mr.. Polk removed
Bailie Peyion from the office Of United States
District Attorney at New Orleans. Bailie
Peyton held the same personal relations to-
wards Mr.. Polk as were held by Mr.. Wise.
There was, therefore, the same reason for
msgnanimity in the one case as in the other,
but Mr.. Wise was abroad and Mr.. Peyton
was at home, and if we do not mistake MIR.
Folks character he will keep Mr.. Wise in
government pay as long as he is in office, and
iffor no other cause to keep him from telling
him to his teeth the opinion he now has ofthe
Speaker Of the 25th Congress.
We hear gilmore removals as we close, and
shall make these the subjects of other re-
marks. We shall have occasion, we doubt
not, to remember Mr.. Polk often and low
ingly, during his administration, which we
can tell him, thus early, he need not have
pledged the country. in advance, should last
but for ONE rERMi-It will perhaps, endure
thus long. while it will be remembered for
evil as long as there are years of existence in

The magnanimity Of Col. Polk! We
would as soon expect to hear an angel of
truth eliminating the angels in heaven, or the
spirit of darkness embracing the light oftru,h,
as to look for magnanimity in Col. Polk.
There has been nothing magnanimous in the
man. There is not even justice,-justice
either to toe country or TO the party which
elected him as a party to office. lie is the
President of a Prescription for a difference of
opinion, and the President of a band Of Office
Beggars, who feed like cormoranis from the
public crib, and to whom he deals out the
loves aud fishes of Office. He is pensioning
more worthless men upon the treasury than
ever held Office there before. We could en-
dure this. bad as it would be, if when an hon.
est and capable Wing was removed, as hon
est and cababic an opponent was appointed
in his place but, TO find the blood hounds
Of a party in Office, Rynders and Bill Ford Of

FLIGHT ON-FIGHT EVER"

We recently published, that Gov. Jones,
the gallant and intrepid Wing of Tennessee,
had lately paid a visit TO Kentucky, where he
was greeted in true Ky. stile. While the
Coy. was visiting Mr.. Clay in Lexington, the
Wings of that place rendered him a public
dinner which he thus declined:
LEXINGTON, July 10th, 1915.
"GENTLEMEN,-Your note of yesterday
welcoming me among you, and rendering me
a public dinner in the name of the citizens of
the county of Fayette and city of Lexington,
has been received with the most ~sreatful feel
iugs. regret exceedingly that feel myself
constrained to decline the honor you propose.
| need not assure you that it would give me
sincere pleasure to meet my fellow-citizens of
this portion of Kentucky around the festive
board. Considerations of a personal charac-
ter connected with the 6ckleness of my health
compel me reluctantly to decline the honorof
this public testimonial of respect.
For the kind and complimentary terms in
which Won are pleased to allude TO my efforts
TO secure the success aud triumph of the priu-
ciples | advocate, you will except my thanks.
Believing them important to the best interest
Of our common country, if not essential to
the existence of our free Institutions, ! could
not withhold from them my warme support.
For any personal sacrifice | may have been
called to make, in vindicatiou those principles,
| fnd an abundant reward in my convictions
ofthc justice aud purity of the principles for
which | have commended and the generous
appreciations of my poor services as mani
tested by my fellow citizens Of Kentucky on
this and other occasions.
The only regret that | feel in reviewing the
circumstances to which you refer, is tsat l
have not been able TO do more, land, if nee
essary, to have suffered more,) for the estab-
lishment Of those principles, than | have done.
Dark and gloomy as the prospects for the
political redemption of our country may be,
| do not yet despair of seeing a brighter and
more suspicious day; gathering confidence
from this hope, let US fight On-fght ever"

TEXAS MATTERS.

We hone our readers are thoughtfully con-
sidering, or will so consider, the recent ddyi-
ces from Texas, especially on these points:
l. That President Polk is now pouring the
troops of the United States into Texas, at a
season when the lower part of that country
is most unhealthy, and When its Vice Presl-
dent has Just died of fever
.. That these troops are to take post. at
the outset. beyond the recognized limits ofTex-
as, ard in what Mexico regards as a part of
her State OF Conhuila;
3. That this disposition is expected TO COM
p~elpeace or immediate hostiliies on the part
OF Mexico;
i. That the current Of Texas conversation
at Austin implies that Mexico may now OBJ
tain m0ney bv conserving TO Annexation
Uncle Sam of course handing over the alore-
said;
5. That Texas is involved in hostilities, not
alone with Mexico. hut with The great body
of Indians in what she claims as her territory,
who now menace her capital, and have re-
Gently killed her citizens very near it;
g. That she has no troops NOR other de-
fensive preparations than, but looks to our
Government to provide and pay for all;
Z. That her Convention, as her President
and Congress had previously done, profess
to consider the terms Of Annexation pr%oifered
by our Government, rery hard for Texas!
hut assent TO them pro torma, expecting TO
obtain better terms on accoun. of the mag
nanimitv in so doing; and
8. That the Convention is proceeding to
form a Constitution carefully preserved from
every tint of uItrqiSm, Ia term quite common
" used to designate whatever is favorable to
Human Rights and Liberties.) # course,
the peculiar institution will be well fortified
therein.
These matters arc worth thinking of.
