THE BEAUTY OF CONSISTENCY.

The subioined significant paragraph is from the
Pennsyivanian. II indicates that one Of the great
leaders OF the party, one who has enjoyed its
highest honors, has abandoned il fully and forever
The Pennsylvania groans forth bitter denuncia-
ton. From the euogist of years, its editor becomes
the unequivocal assailant The party, with our
neghbor, appears to be before every thing. We
have read column upon column of the most iulsome
faltery Of MARTIN VAN buren, in the pages Of our
contemporary. The Ex-Presdent was held up to
the Democratic world as a very model. But he has
ventured to take an Independent stand-cannot, in
conscience, support Lewis CAss; and hence all his
great services to the nation and the party are in a
moment forgotten--he is stigmatlzed as an apos-
tate, and the rank and file called upon to shake
him off, as the dew-drop on the lions name. Very
fair words--but in this case they are rather bonn
bastic. The Barnburners happen to be the lion,
and LEWIS CAss the dew-drop. They have deter
mined to shake him off, and, unless we greatly mis-
take, they possess abundant power. The political
picture, however which is here presented, is really
melancholy To find such man as Mr.. VAN Bu-
rem thus ruthlessly assaied, and by journal that
short time since delighted to be regarded as one
of the confidential organs of his Administration is
revolving to human nature. The same paper, TOO,
that contains this denunciation also contains para
graph complimentary to a voter of Philadelphia
because he has gone over to Cass and Butler How
beautiful is consistency Penn. Inquirer.
MARTIN VAN BUREN.-It will be seen that this
parsonage long the recipient Of the honors and the
confidence of the Democratic party, has written to
the Utica Convention, declaring that he cannot
support Gen. CAss, the regular Democratic candi-
date Of the Democracy OF the Union. What
deed this is suly the sunset Of life, the morn
ing and the meridian of which were so full OF true
greatness He will fall from his high place in the
Democratic affections at once. and will sink so low
to be beyond all hope of political resurrection.
!. The great Democratic party will shake him off as
the dew-drop from the lions name. We have no
regrets for his apostacy TO those who have served
him SO long; but we mourn to see how coldly he
has returned the support of his counrymen.

GEN. TAYLOR IN KENTUCKY.


IRON THE NASHVILLE EAGLE.
The Frankfort Commonwealth, in the height of
its admiration for the tried and unwavering devotion
of the Wings Of the Gibraltar district in this
State, cries Huzza for the gallant Wings of the
mountains and gives letter from an old and
tried friend Of the Mountain district, who says
"Te the boys down in the settlements to 90 10 work
If they could witness the enthusiasm produced by the news
of Old lacks nomination. it would pu, them all to work in
his cause lest in the grand struggle in November they may
be ds,anced by the nevernchng Wings Of the mountains

aThis (says the Commonwealth is the language
OF plain old-fashioned farmer Wing, who resides
in central county in the Mountain district. From
other parts of the State the same encouraging news
comes to US. Our friends abroad may rest assured
that Kentucky will do her duty"
Our advces (says the Eagle) are to the same eff
feet An intelligent gentleman just from Greenup
county assures us that a number Of Democrats
within his knowledge have determined to vote
for Old lack, because they love him and believe
him TO be honest Greenup county, it will be re-
collected, is the iron region Of northern Kentucky.
From the iron region Of Ohio, Lawrence and the
adjoining counties, we have similar intelligence.
The Woodworking, hard-fsted, no-ofice-seeking
yeomanry are rallying with the heariest enthusiasm
to the support Of Gen. Taylor. Numbers who
voted for Polk in 1914 satisfied with that expe.
riment, and will now go in warmly for the Wing
nominee.
Thus rolls the ball in Kentucky and Ohio.
These noble-hearted and hghspirited neighboring

in 1870 and 1914, for The largest majority for Old

FROM HENRY CLAY.-We have every reason to
believe (says the New York Express of Saturday,
that voice from Ashland has come out at last
hushing the stormy elements that were at work in
the Wing party.
Mr.. CLAY, we assured, does not hesitate TO
say that he tciH support Gen. Taylor, and that
Gen. Taylor ,ciH be elected By an overwhelming
majority. He and Gen. TAYLOR have ever been
the best Of terms, and the only fault found with
him by Mr.. CLAY is the same fault that many Of us
found before the Allison letter, that he did not oc-
cupy sufficiently decided Wing position. Under
the doubt attending that position, it is probable that
Mr. CLAY expresses some surprise that he was no.
minated by purely Wing Convention, but that, as
he is nominated, all good Wings will support him.
Thus they who are using Mr.. Claws name for
factious purposes are rebuked by himself
