cause of freedom, has done its patriotic work
and united the hearts and hopes of millions
of freemen in the coming contest for the
Presidency.
And now, fellow Wings of Kentucky you
have but two things to do: Forget all that is
unpleasant to the past, If anything unpleas-
ant has been, and go forth TO battle for your
cause. Your leader is the great Taylor and
remember he 'sneveI surrenders." If the
enemy crowd you, give him ga little more
grape;;'' if he stops fighting and asks you
"wbat you want,n tell him you want "peace.'
II he seem 10 lie down on the battlefield al
night-fall, do you lie down too, and be pre-
pared to "feel him in The morning.
If you Use in the morning aud find him gone,
then bury his dead and heal his wounded
send his prisoners home and tell all they
have nothing to lear, for the kind-hearted Dor
Zachary is at the head of your army.
From the Cincinnati Gazettel
Since the nomination of Gen. Taylor and
Mr.. Fillmore has been known, we have been
watching our Wing exchanges to see in
what spirit it is received. We have not re-
ceived one which is not ready TO give the
nomination hearty and energetic support.
A dispatch published yesterday from Glove
land informs US that the people are right
there, and we doubt not The press is with
them. "'Fhe union Of the Wings for the
sake of the Union" seems to be everywhere
the motto of the party, and if we may Judge
from indications already 10 be seen, the
food of popular sentiment which carried
Gen. HARRISON into office in 1910, is 10 have
its equal in like flood of lS4S.

SUPERIORITY OF AMERICAN TAILoRs.-A cor
respondent of the New York Courier and En-
quirer writing from London says: "Nowhere
in the whole world are garments SO elegantly
made, and SO admirably fitted as in the United
States. An English or French tailor must try
on your coat two or three times in the manu-
facture, and he finally sends it home, such a
fit as chance pleases; while an American tail
or, having taken your measure, seldom gives
you any further trouble. (Entil he presents his
bill) and sends your coat home, fitting as if
you had been melted, and run into it. while
hot"
We have been often astonished at the imag-
mary superiority awarded by the American
people to European workmen. Our success
full competition with the world in the various
arts and sciences, proves most conclusiyely
that we have no occasion 10 send abroad for
any thing, and we hope that both ladies and
gentleman will discard the idea that European
workmen are superior to our own, in any art
or science to which the attention of our citi-
zens have been turned.
