= Death has dealt hardly with the Editorial corps.
William Walters, the able Edito: Of the Illinois
State Register, died at ST. Louis whether he had
gone to discharge the duties of Commissionary,
under the late act of Congress. He had previous
ly enrolled bis name as private in of the vol
unteer companies from Illinois for the Mexican
campaign.
We are also panied to announce the sudden
death of Henry II. Carroll. Esq, the Editor ofthe
New Hampshire Patriot. He was strong and
influential writer, and was universally respected.
He was one of the Secretaries of the Baltimore
Convention, where we had an opportunity of
knowing his worth as man and his irmness and
patriotism as a Democrat. .sf 4 a71" -7ea

MIR. SHEPARD IN SALISBURY.

On Monday, it being our Court week, our
Democratic candidate, Mr.. Shepard, addressed a
respectable concourse of citizens, composed Of
both parties, He was listened to with profound
attention, as he we'll deserved, as his speech was
not only able, but eloquently delivered. He spoke
about an hour and a hall, when he took his seat
amidsr a roar of applause. Mr.. Nathaniel Boy
den, who had been previously selected bya meet,
ing of the Town Whiggery to reply to him, now
mounted the rostruin, and held forth at great
length. Alter speaking against Mr.. Shepard as
long as he could 6ndlany thing to say he began
speaking against time,--that is, he went seriously
to work to spin out thetime so as TO cut Mr. Shep-
ard off from reply. He spoke on until he had
pretty we'll exhausted himself, and wholly ex-
hausted his hearers, and then sat down much ap-
plauded by the town WhiggeIy. As soon as Mr.
Shepard arose and began to reply, many that had
left the House returned again to hear him. He
took up some Of the bold assertions of Mr. Boyden
and handled them ia style thht pleased the most
of his hearers, who showed their qualification by
strong manifestations. MIR. Shepard replied about
a half hour and closed his remarks The Dem
ocrats were well pleased throughout with Mr..
Shepard, as he has proved himself to be an able
and gallant champion in the canse ofrhe people.
We cannot predict what the result of the contest
may be, but if Mr. Shepard does, not receive sue
cess he certainly deserves it.

Rio Grande Deer-Largesto on Record. There
are wandering over the prairies in the vicinity of
our camp on the Rio Grande a large number of
the finest large horned cattle in the world. "Our
Volunteers" wishing for fresh stake. would
make some Of them occasionally bite the dust
An order came, that no more "killing beef" must
take place, and no more beef was killed. Scout
ing parties now went out for venison: some good
shots were fortunate enough to kill one. Il was
dragged into camp and duly divided up among
the knowing ones ofthe regiment When day
light appeared, suspicious got out that beef had
been killed. this was stoutly denied and the report
was contradicted by the assertion, that deer had
been killed weighing over eight hundred pounds.
This caused universal surprise, especially among
certain officers, who demanded to see the horns.
After great deal of delay they were produced,
and examined by court martial, who soIemnly
decided, that the venison of the Rio Grante had
horns perfectly smooth, and resembling those of
the or species, in other parts of the world. q.

Democratic Jubilee an Ohio /! A large and
enthusiastic meeting of the Democracy was held
in Cincinnati, on the Ist inst, to commemorate the
downfall ofthe Restrictive System, on the passage
of the Peoples Tariff of 1916. Resolutions
were passed approbatory of the administration and
of Congress for their patriotic action in the mat
ter They declare that the Democratic Senators
who sustained this measure, have nobly performed
their duty to principle and the people; that they par
tcularly admire the elevated stand taken by Vice
President DALLAS from which he overlooked the
paltry monopolists who Immediately surrounded
him, and regarded the interests Of the country.
And they also Resolved, that the thanks of the
meeting and the whole West are due to the Hon
Dixon II. Lewis, Chairman, of the Committee on
Finance in the Senate, for the promptness, skill
and judgment with which he urged the new bill
to its final passage. - rs vss. IS l. .s.s y4a =

A aOOTd of caution to the People. gi The dimi-
mutton of taxes by the law enacted at the present
session of Congress, is to be the great issue, the
trial of which will absorb all political strife until
the meeting of the next Congress. Repeal OF this
law" is the watch word of whiggery. To effect
it, the old system of panic manufacturing is to be
invoked. Again we are to be told, as in times
past, that the /" canal is to become solitude, and
the lake desert waste of waters" This has ever
been the course of the federal capitalists OF the
country. When the war of 1912 was declared,
the ruin of our country was predicted. To insure
that ruin, their capital was boarded, and every OBJ
stacle thrown in the way of successful prosecu-
ton of the war. When the bank charter was We
toed by Jackson, again did the cry Of national
ia burst from the lips of the monied Federalists
To make sure that ruin, credit was sought to be
Cling with moderate means was told by the bank
parlor men," that five. had United States Bank,
MS means would be abundant and money plenti-
ful. And now, when the infamous act of l842 is
modified, The vulture cry of forthcoming ruin is
raised, and doubtless every means will be used to
verify the prediction Will an intelligent people
be humbugged by the designing few IN this mat
ter2 The experience of the past forbids the idea.
If the people remain firm as they didunder Madi-
son and Jackson. again will the country move on
ward in her majestic strides, alsifying the predc-
tions ofthe panic makers justifying the intelli-
gence,e and rewarding the irmness of the people.
The nabobsugar planters, the owners ofiron foun-
dries, and the princes of The loom, will all join
in the manufacture OF panics. The course pursu-
ed by the whig press of the North since the pass
ing the new tariff law, indicates that the wings
are at their old game. How long will it be be-
fore the monopolist finds out thatthe people have
intelligence to penetrate their schemes, and firm
ness sufficient to confound them2 Let the farmer,
the mechanic, the " back bone and gristle" Of the
country stand firm, and the shock which the pam
ic manufacturers are making will pass by as their
other fabrics in this line have passed. Ifthe peo-
pie be true to themselves, there is danger that
lessening their tazes s0iH ruin them. The world
has been so long governed by few knaves, that

Effects of the Nsw Tariff We record the pro-

Congress, with profound sorrow: @sa@ s@%

plated driving carriage and six horses, proof
of the prosperity ofthe people under the Tariff of

to drive carriage and four, as usual. o.,
Another very eminent and public spirited citi-
zen, who had been foremost in the cause of the
encouragement Of domestic industry, and had al
ready made out an order for heavy supply Of
Italian marble mantes and other ornaments, for

the aforesaid order, and is forced to rely up

ing twenty-five per cert under the law Of l842,

tended importing a supply of feleg,n German and
French wines, but has been forced to give mp the
idea, because, under the new law, he will make
but ten or fifteen per cent on his investment. fa1
We announce, further, with inefable regret,
that some of our most respectable and influential
capitalists, who had made arrangements for large
supplies of new French furniture and clothes, will

Mr. ingersoH has refused all public employment.
and devoted himself: with great assiduity, to the
profession, OF which he is an ornament At an
early period of his life he engaged actively in pub
nc affairs, and was at one period speakerfof the
House Of Representatives in the legislature of
Connecticut. In 1925 he was elected to Congress.
and took his seat in the House with the President
with whom he was associated during a portion
OF his congressional career as one of the Commit
tee OF Ways and Means. He was continuously.
reelected until he declined, about twelve years
since, being a candidate; and has since refused
accepting any Office, though at no moment has
ne lost his interest in political affairs He has
frequently been members Of the democratic State
conventions in CONNECTICUT, and presided over
their deliberations; and was a member of the
Baltimore convention in 1874 Our political
friends in Connecticut have frequently solicited
him to consent to be candidate for governor, but
he has uniformly declined %

Burning in EGgy. We recommend the fol-
lowing, from Pennsylvania paper, to the care
ful perusal of violent protectioniss 1t is remark
ably pointed, we think, and ''speaks for ITSELF !:
The efigy Of George NJ. Dallas was burned
in the public streets of Philadelphia last week by
a Federal mob. During the Bank pafic, the faith
ers of those who composed the mob, and calling
themselves National Republicans, burned the eff
gy of Gen'l Andrew Jackson on the same ground.
In 1898, the efigy of Thomas Jefferson was burn
ed on the identical spot by the grandfthers Of the
rioters of 1916, who at that time called themselves
Federalists. In l775-6-'7-'s-'9 the great grand
fathers of this same mob Of 1916 burned the efigy
of Patrick Henry and George Washington, on
the same spot likewise, and went by the name of
Tories. The line of descent is so direct as to be
questionable; and what is most remarkable is,
that the old generation always manage it TO be:
come so unpopular that they advise their children
to change their names"
