tegiity land his open, downright frankness and
honesty OF heart-firm and fearless asst is kind
and humane. His expansive views--looking
to the whole country as his country, and every
pat of the country as his part of the country
knowing no partisan cliques or mere section
al interests planting himself upon the consti-
tuition and the whole constitution, and serving
the people and the whole people. All this the
peopie knew well.
| S'r shall support Gen. Taylor and support
him cordially, as the true representative ofall
the great conservative characteristics of the
Wing party. | shall support him as man of
peece-as opposed 10 all wars of conquest-as
opposed to that rapacicus policy that would
pick quarrel with neighbor and then seize
his goods, ! support him for his sound con
stltutional views IN regard te the relative du-
ties OF the respective departments of the gov
eminent. King veto will not be put in chains
but confined to his proper sphere. He will
not be permitted, as marauder, 10 make for
avs upon every department of the government
and upon every public and private interest
support him also because believe he will suf-
fer the will of the people to become the law of
the people within constitutional limits; be-
lieve that things that lie before us in the I'M
known future may be of vastly more magnitude
than all the transient party questions of the day;
and because | have confidence in his modera-
ton and good sense--above all, in his modera-
ton and right mindedness. If have learned
anything in public life, it is that pure inten-
tions and single mindedness, with strong good
sense, are worth more than the most splendid
abilities and the largest experience without
them.

''STANDING ON OUR OWN SOIL. "A letter
from Gen. Taylor to his friend in Philadelphia
dated Baton Rouge, 4th March, 1913, contains
the following remarks which we commend tc
the attention of all who would "stand on ou
own SOIL"
t'To your concluding inquiry, need hardly
reply that am a peace man. and that deem a
state of peace to be absolutely necessary to the
proper, healthful action of our republican in
situations. On this important topic | freely
confess myself to be the unqualified advocate
of the principles so often laid down by tbs
Father ofhis country, and so urgently recon-
mended by him in his Farewell Address 10 tht
American people. Indeed think | may sa,
that no man can feela more complete faith thai
do in the wisdom of his advice, when he ur
ged on us the propriety of always standing OF
our own SOIL

O-We learn from the Louisville Journal
that an affray occurred at the Exchange Hotel
in that city on Saturday night last. in which a
man named Robert Morrison, from Fayette
county, who had been sergeant in Capt. Cox's
company, Third Kentucky regiment, but late
ly a clerk to Gen. Marshall, was dangerously
wounded by pistol shot fired by Lieutenant
Shackleford. of Capt. Hardin's company, 4tf
Kentucky regiment. Lieut. S. is from Wash
ington county. -
The ball passed through Morri sons lungs
and although he was still alive last night, it il
feared that he cannot survive
We have heard various statements as to thu
cause of the affray, but W do not think it ad
visabe to publish them. Shackleford is in Jail
and the case will probably be brought up 70
examination before the police court this morn
ing.
