Both political parties held mass meetings IN this
city last night and such democratic demonstration
as was ours In honor of Gen. Butler never was seen
or even dreamed ofin this region OF country. Al
though the wings in considerable majority here,
their meeting numbered few more than hundreds for
the thousands gathered under the waving banner OF
the democracy. Father Richie who knows so well
how to inspire those around him with the tre OF his
own patriotic and enthusiastic heart in the chair
The vast concourse was addressed by Messrs. Har-
Alison of Georgia, Senator Allen, Houston, Bright
and others. The remarkable difference in the number
attending these two meetings and in the spirit eyinc
ed by them tells the tale of the condition OF parties
at the federal city, in uumistakeable slanguages
The democrats, confident of success, are eager 1or
the fray; while the federalists, here, as elsewhere
irresolute disheartened, and utterly incapable OF
powerful effort. --.......
The returns from North Carolina now dropping IN

They length awakening to reallze the act' tat

Southern wings, who obtained their cooperation BY

The approaching Buffalo Convention also makes
them ''see stars They held out hopes to each 9TH

boring to build up would have destroyed the demo-
cratic party. Bot now alas they that for every
democratic vote to be cast for the Buffalo candidate
he will receive four FIVE whg ballots, even though
the candidate may be Martin Van Buren. The really
TAYLOR men among them ara writing all over the
North to procure the nomination of Van Buren, IN
order kill the ' free soil'' movement. Their fear
s that Mclean, who is known to be ready to accept
it, will receive the honor. 1t is whispered here that
the movement of the whig General Committee of your
city. nomnally in favor of the Buffalo Convention,
was dictated in a of some half dozen leading
Taylor wings of Congress, who depend upon the
delegates who shall represent the wings of New
York city to achieve Vans nomination. They are
a slippery-an unprincipled set, the honest men
who go to Buffalo will discover before the Conven-
ton adjourns. ***
The following is extract from letter to one of
the editors of the True Sun, from distinguished de-
mocratc statesman, which breathcs the sentiments
of political friends at the seat of government:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 1913.
Our intelligence from North Carolina and Kentucky
is cheering. If the Wings have carried their Gov
ernor in orth Carolina it will be by very few
The is neck and neck. At any rate, the result
will be good as ordinary victory. You know
we expected nothing from North Carolina. If Tay-
or cannot carry that State know of no State in the
Union which is certain for him. And if Crttendcn
is elected in Kentucky by majority of ten thou
sand, it will be good as victory for the Demo
cracy.
The coons here are in the dumps. The Northern
Wings retortng upon their brethren of the South,
" Is this the man who was sweep over the country
like prairie fire -
But the discomftted condition of Taylor whiggery
affords no reason why the Democracy should relax
particle of their zeal and energy. Ourmotto should
be, ' Not State in the Union for Taylor-we must
make clean sweep for Cass and Butler.''
JOHN HUrcHINGs, ESQ.,, AND THE VOLUNTEERS.
We make no apology for introducing to our readers
at this time the name of the individual whose
heads this paragraph. The hospialities of our fell
low townsman, Mr.. Hutchings, will be long and CRATE
fully remembered by the North Carolina Volunteers.
Who has been their better friend
In passing throu gh this city in the winter of l8-
46-47, their way to the scat of war, they found
his house opened for their entertainment and his
outstretched to welcome them. The best he had was
THEIRS during their sojourn in the city. Mr.. Fl. HIM
SELF in the war of 1912, experienced the hardships
and selfdeniafs of soldiersfe. He knows the val
ue to those who are leaving home and friends, of kind
words, hearty shake of the hand, and cordial
" God speed you in your country s service. There
fore 1t was, and from the promptings of generous
nature, he gave freely and cheerfully, of his moder
ate means, the comforts of bed and board all who
would accept them-some two hundred and fifty
exhortlng them to obedience, and blessing them on
their departure, as father blesses his children.
So too, on their recent return from war, has Mr..
Hutchng's doors been thrown ,Uide open, and every
volunteer who has passed through the city on their
way home, invited again to partake of his hosptali-
ties, and make his house their home. Several of
them have said that his the last beds they have
slept on since they left his house, eighteen months
since, until their return to the same lodgings.
Mr.. IL. has been truly the Volunteers friend nor
will they OF this State forget his liberaty and
warmheartedness. f--..

ties with Mexico. 49, Raleigh Demo- Flag.
