ATTENTION, DEMOCRATS !

WHU HAS CHANGED
| The following Resolutions were
/ adopted at convention Of the Young
| Men of LitchGeld county in favor of
the election of Henry Clay to the
Presidency, holden in this village in
| 1882, at which our townsmen, o.
s, Seymour, Esq, presided. AS the
friends of that gentleman would fain
have us believe that Mr.. Clay has
changed, and not themselves, we beg
the privilege Of setting the public
right on that point. Mr.. Clay now
as then is the great champion of the
American system, the advocate of
the Protection of Domestic Industry,
and the opponent of the heresies Of
Jacksouism and Van Buren'sm -
but where are Messrs. seymour and
Catlin, who were then such staunch
advocates of the doctrines then and
now advocated by the Wing party?
We will leave the reader to answer
the question. We would simply add
that a brief but appropriate address
was made by Mr.. Seymour on the
occasion OF the passage Of the Reso-
Iutions. '
