Alabama
July 81, 1913.

JULY Il, 1913
To the Editor of the Union:
| see from the Union, and from other papers, both
wing and democratic that the position of Alabama is not
properly appreciated You speak of Alabama very en-
couragngy as there had ever existed any doubt about
her support OF the democratic candidates, Cass and
Butler ALBANIA sent her delegates to the convention to
aid in making a selection from amongst the great men of
our party and to abide by the decision of the convention
fairly made, and setting forth anew platform of demo-
cratic principles Both have been done; and, although
favorlte not selected, she had right to
hope she is highly satisfied with the choice of the
vention
The people of Alabama cannot bo msed it is doing
them injustice, to suppose such a thing They never
will be They read and act for themselves; and
they know the history and character of Lewis Cass and
William O. Butler too well to learn anything about them
given MIR. VIM Lowndes Yancey. Out of the State many
persons seem to think he can control the people OF Ala
bama and influence her vote. Nothing is further from
the truth, he is learning, to his great disappont
ment. Mr.. Yancey, "mstaking nooriety for fame"
very ambitious of rivaling John Van Buren, in his mad
and factious course He unwilling that any one
should make noise in the country than he could
Mr. Yancey is man of sprighty mind, but he wants
1scretion-i. e., common sense tie knows nothing of the
people he wished to rule and direct. John Van Buren,
may make the New York democracy or portion of
them, face about at his bddng-other statesmen may do
It in other States-but 1t can be done neither by Mr.
Yancey nor any else in Alabama We support men
for high station as they represent certain principles;
when they to represent those principles, we
support Let me beg of you to the readers of
the Union that Mr. Y has not carried off fifty votes from
the democratic party. Those few may make considerable
nose they good takers; but that is all they will
TO- committing political suicide. have seen many
democrats since the Baltimore convention, and they sup
port the nomination with zeal. This is large county;
have neither heard of democrat in it who
does support Cass and Butler The majority in the
State will not be less than ten thousand, and more likely
twelve; With the best of feeling prevails In east
ern Mississippi the nomination is equally well received ;
the democracy there will not desert their principles,
because of their number in the battles OF
Monterey and Buena Vista. ALABAMA

The latest Humbux.

Our readers may have statement copied by the
National Integencer, from New Orleans paper to the
effect that our government in some way directly or
indirectly concerned in movement alleged to be going
on in some of the northern States of Mexico, with the
view the establishment OF republic there, under
the of the Republic of the Sierra Madre and that
General Shields was, the latest dates in San Luis Po
tosi, giving direction or aid in the business.
The whole statement is sheer fabrication and utter
y destitute both of truth and FEASIBILITY We have just
concluded treaty of peace, amty, and boundary with
land and which as such WILL in all its provisions, be
lgiously observed in good faith by government.
As to General Shelds-who has served his country so
CALAMITY and nobly in the field, but who, in wing eyes,
hbors under the crime of being sound and staunch
democrat-we happy to learn that instead of being
having been, since the conclusion of the peace with
Mexico at San Luis Poos any other place in that
country he is now and has been for weeks, in the State
of Illinois, making eloquent speeches in favor OF Cass
and Butler; and thus in politics at home fighting ably
and manfuy in the same good cause of his country,
which he upheld so well on Mexican baule-felds.
And so expodes the whole OF very silly wing fabri-
cation got up the stump in order to manufacture po-
tcal capital out of nothing II is only worthy to take
its place among the barefaced and ridiculous of the
"Roorbacks" Of 1914. We must really condole with
the National Inelligencer in the sudden loss of theme
out Of which it has only two or three very ndif
ferent humbug articles But let it not despair 1t has
only to task its usual ingenuity to supply with another
mares nest equally himsy, and equally ridiculous.

The ''New York Herald of Thursday in its summa-

Cass avowing his intention to veto the Wilmo Proviso
of his elevation 10 the presidency, said to be in
the possession OF the editor OF the Washington Union
letter writer from Washington for the same paper says
at is ascertaned beyond doubt that Mr. Richie has
letter from Gen Cass in which he states that if elected
to the presidency, he will veto the Wmot Proyiso or
any equivalent of il, should il pass Congress"
is due to the public that we have received no
such letter. nor has any such letter been exhibited to
We have received letter. despatch, message from
Gen. Cass since he left Washington; have we ad-
dressed single to him. We have letter that
he has written to any other person. nor have we heard
of any such letter We understand indeed that General
Cass has not written political letter since his acceptance
of the Baltimore nomination We hear from private
sources, that, when Intercepted upon the Wimo Pro-
vso he gives one uniform answer-that he adheres to
the sentiments of his letter TO Nicholson and the resou
tons of the Baltimore Convention 1t to us that no
who has read his letter doubt his position Tn.
like Gen. Taylor was not necessary for him write to
us, to any else, explaining his views upon ques-
ton which he has clearly de fined. He has never
skulked or lodged this, any other measures but we
protest against any differences may draw from private
letters the statements in such letters themselves being
taken as any new declarations from the General himself
especially he has sad in his letter of acceptance that
it "closes his professions Of political faith"

Ye sons of Freedom, wake to glory!
Hark! bark what myriads bid you rise!
Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary,-
Behold their tears, and hear their cries,
Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding,
With hireling hosts, rutian band,
Alright and desolate the land,
While peace and liberty lie bleeding!
To arms, to arms! ye brave. $500
TIL ayenging sword unsheath:
March on, march on, all hearts resolv'd,
On victory or death.
Now, now, the dangerous storm is rolling,
Which treacherous kings confederate raise,
The dogs of war, let loose, are bowling,
And 10! our fields and cities blaze.
And shall we basely view the ruin,
Whilst lawless force with guilty stride,
Spreads desolation far and wide,
With crimes and blood his hands imbruing!
To arms to arms! SC.
With luxury and pride surrounded,
The vile insatate despots dare,
Their thirst of power and gold unbounded,
To mete and vend the light and air,
Like beasts of burden would they load us,
Like tyrants bid their slaves adore u.s.;
But man is man, and who Is more?
Nor shall they longer lash and goad us.
To arms to arms! sc.
Oh Liberty! can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy gen'rous tiame'
Can dungeons. bolts and bars confine thee,
Or whips thy noble spirit tame'
Too long the world has wept bewailing
That falsehood's dagger tyrants WELD;
But freedom is our word and shield, =
And all their arts are unavaiing.
To arms! to arms sc.
