To The Editors ofMe Enquirer:

WYTHEviLLE, June g. lS47.
Gentlemen: see in the Richmond Republican
ot the 9TH ult communication ua'eu on inc
9Th, purponing 10 be signed by "A Democrat" IN
which The writer dwels on matters ana things up
on large scale; and from The glowing style
adopted by him in presenting his views you wonlo
suppose a mighty avalanche was coming to sweer
every Thing before it. Now, sirs, lei me Tell you
that, although The author processes 10 be some
what prophet yet he is not equal to the regular
prophets of old, but may be ranked among those
that have been cast on some distant and forlorn
isle, and there, in The heat OF fancy and magma
lion, has predicted what will never come 10 pass.
lie speaks of this administration as corrupt and
rotten, and is delighted that Mr.. Fulton is elected
by six votes. Is this specimen OF Democracy
10 laud himself TO the Skies and exult until ne
has almost bursted because the Wings have sue
ceeded in Little Tennessee, where there is De-
mocralic majority OF 1900 votes in the late cleo
ton have no doubi that upon sinsle-hand-
ed race if The Wings were 10 succeed, this Demo
crat would explode, and such would be the report
that il would be heard far and wide-beyond this
congressional district, and exceing The roar and
thunder uf all those great battles OF which he
has spoken Six votes Tremendous, enormous,
mighty, great, splendid, powerful, terrific and
overpowering in lis character and equal in its re-
suits to The mighty effusions OF the said Democrat
who seems so overjoyed that the explosion OF a
steamboat is small affair, compared to the feel
ing manifested by him and sci forth so brilliantly.
He says "he district has elected Taylor Wing "
What does he mean? A Wing like those OF
1910 and 1874, OF The present stripe, or what p
Echo responds, cannot Tell Will Mr.. Demo
cra,lake The responsibility 10 say that Gen. Tay-
lor is a United States Bank, Protective Tariff,
Bankrupt Law Whg2 | think he will moi; and
il he does, he and old Rough and Ready" will be
At issue. A pretty Democrat, boasling OF Wing
results Just about as much democracy in him
AS there is in flea. eyei Vain ostentalion, pne-
re assertion intended Tor no other purpose Than
decepion
This congressional district is largely Demo-
cratic, and, when tested upon real Wing issues,
will be, as she ever has been, Little Tennessee
Do you not see The lodging and foundering eve
nv where in The Wing ranks 2 Some Tor Clay,
some for Scott some for Taylor, and some for
Mr.. Nobody, or Anybody, so that he is not good
and true Democrat.
"A Democrat" layishes his abuse upon The
Democratic party, and upon The Editor Of Ike
Union quite protusey for having maintained The
principles OF their party Tor many by-gone years,
and from whic! You would suppose they were
all a terrible SET, bringing ruin on their country.
These wild denunciations have been so often
heard, that The people pass them by unnoIiced.
And why2 Because Democratic measures and
Democratic men have been prevailing nearly ever
since this Government was founded. We have
had two Wing (FsderaD Presidents, each Of
whom served only four years; and such was The
inconsistency oftheir course, and the evil Of their
measures, that The people hurled them from office
as soon as The power was thrown back into hen
hands They can brag and boast hurrah and
Willy, until they get into power; bul then when
the work is 10 b. done, and the mighty things 10
be achieved which they promise, like The Dutch
mans COW, they come up missing Mr.. Demu.
cral sends up mighty yell, until its sounds have
lberaled over all the hills and vallies; bur not
one solitary sentiment is advanced as 10 what are
TO br The leading doctrines Of the parry in ls4S
Do moi veil 80 loud MIR. Democrat or you Nigh,
he heard and ere the campaign OF 1913 CLOSES,
you may be caught in a trap. as your Wing
brethren Of 1910 were, and that mol by the heels,
bu, by The head, hair and all; and Then you viii
be in a pretty box. having all honest President
who will not succumb 10 the demagogueS and
wire-wolkers OF your party, but who will do
right, irrespective Of parizans.
A TRUE DEMOCRAT.
