"MAJoR PUrFER. The Democrat of yester-
day says
"We designed writing an editorial in regard
to the eloquent speech of Major RoblnscN, at
the Court House on Saturday evening"
You did. eh,--well how could you do that
when IN. p" says
"As you were not presentat the Court House
on Saturday evening" &c?
Can you describe such speech just as we'll
without hearing it as you could if you were
present and heard every word of il? We are
some what curious to know. We have heard
that one speech answers for all locofoco ora
tors, but that speech won't do TO skin coons
with, as the eloquent elector for this-Dis-
trict no doubt discovered OH a recent trip ur
the river.

"No PRIScIPLEs. The principles oil The
Wing party have ever been and still are the
principles of the Constitution. There was .
loud hue and cry in the locofoco ranks IN lo4t
end in 1914, because the Wings had no plat
form-"no principles" The same cry Is no"
AGAIN yociferously sent up. When Gen. Har
,;son was nominated in 1910, no resolution
were adopted. None were passed when Mr
clay was nominated in 1914, and the Conven
lion tina, nominated Gen. Taylor, following
these precedenls, passed none.
The Locofoco convention adop' Pia"o''N
which their candidates are compelled 10 Tesdi
as imposing superior obligations upon the fie'

port the Constitution. Hence spring many
the evils of mal-administration when aniic'

Go,No 1T ALONE, AND WITH RusH.-We
have heard of game that is sometimes played
BY two persons who wish 10 get themselves in
to notice in community, which is Gas easy as
lying" as Bill Shakespeare would say, and just
az creditable. The way it is done Is Tor
two TO tickle each other through the public
prints, or in such other way serves the pur-
pose. But until The Democrat OF yesterday
made its appearance we did not know that
fellow could 60 it alone at the game. We ind
in that print an article of the puff order that
beats our time entirely. One would suppose
upon reading the article signed IN. p" that
there is but one orator in all this section, and
more than likely there never will be another
unless indeed we call Jim Wood some. D
course we don't insinuate who wrote "M T,
certainly not, nor do we say who did up tina
other paragraph, putting the puffer-but we az
saw that nothing so rich has made its appear
iance in this community during this canvass
land we dent believe it can be beat bad by tn
Puffer Hopkinses of any section. 'The editc

DANIEL WEBSTER FOR TAYLoR.-The N .
Y. Commercial Advertiser contains an a.t-
Gle in reference to Mr.. Webs,er's position on
The Presidency, rom which we make the
following extract:
ave are authorised to say, that in no por.
iicuar, throughout the coming canvass, will
Mr.. Webster be found wanting 10 the Wing
party, or 10 the expression of its will; pu
forth in Philadelphia in the month Of June
"His opinion of Gen. Taylor personally
has been often expressed; he regards him a.
an upright, intelligent, and honest man, iru'
Wing, and determined, if elected President
To put forth his best Efforts for the good O
the country.
"A friend of onrs, some weeks ago, wa
in conve rsaiIon with Mr.. Webster on poliii
cal affairs, and The Presidential election; il
tina. conversation, Mr.. Webster said in re
gard to Gen. Taylor, all must admit that hi
own conduct had been iueproacha5le an
far above jus, complaint. He had put fort
no preiensions; he had stopped TO no in,ngu,
he had villi6ed no competitor, and used N
t dishonorable means for his own nomin aiior
D He said that Gen. Taylor's present positio
was no, of his own seeking. He bad m
what seemed TO be the call of a large po
= ZION of the people, and that was all.
!, ..rhese are Mr.. Webs,er's views OF Gel
: TAYLOR, and Of his nomination. We ven,u
}. to say that in no respect whatever, throug

S found in the slightest degree inconsisle

Tay lor has no principles He has set them
forth clear and clean in the Allison Letter.
Ii is all idle to say, General Taylor is no
Wing. He gratefully and cordially ac
cepis the Wing nomination land besides, I'd
as many other places sets forth that he Is a
Wing. The Wings, then, have but to choose
between him and Lewis Cass. The ques-
liun is Taylor or Cass.' The result is To
be Taylor or Cass.' Choose ye between
them, and choosing Taylor and Fillmore, as

o~-The Democrat of yesterday has string
of Locofoco lies about Gen. Taylor's treatment
of the Volunteers, which are too absurd to be
believed BY any one. The course pursued by
those who control that print must certainly
open the eyes of the people to their true mer-
is; and cannot fail 10 arouse the indigna ton
OF every honest man in The community. Among
other ISLANDERS which we find in yesterday:
Democrat against Gen. Taylor, is one that he
abused the Ohio troops, and the charge is prov
ed against him by fellow bearing the follow
ing character. We copy from the Cincinnati
Chronicle.
