The age has broke out again with renewed viso
, in The Second Auditors Office. The renowne
Meredith, who was heard Of in Philadelphia
and nowhere else, as politician, has this dal
removed from the Office Of The Second Audito
the following gentlemen:
Michael Keller, Abraham M. Fareuhar
Christopher Columbus Cole, George Washing
ton Kimberly Benjamin Franklin Brown
Thomas Jefferson Robinson, James Madisur
Minor.
As these individuals we're the very best clerks
IN ohlce-gentlemen OF spotless integrity, ire
proachable behavior, and above and beyond eve
ry charge OF a personal nalure-we lake il lha
they must have been removed solely on account
OF their name.
Isl. Michael who led The armies Of Heaven
IN The flrsI war Tor principle.
ID. Abraham, who laid the foundations OIL
ISRAEL, and was the chosen one OF the Lord
Sd. Christopher Columbus, whu discovered a
world Tor Freedom 10 raise her Eben,Zer in.
4h George Washington, who gave TO Amer
lean lleemen their independence.
5h. Benjamin Franklin, Who clapped The
lightning rod upon Liberty, and saved her in her

9th. Thomas Jefferson, the apostle OF Democ.
racy; and
TIN. James Madison, who declared war against
Great Britain, and went Tor Tree trade and sail
ors rights against the world.
Surely, in one office, in the heroic age, is pre-
senled a list Of worthless which will astonish The
American people. We suppose, inasmuch as
the Second Washington has repudiated all his
pledges nc must have terrible anlIpalhy 10
everything that bears The name OF The men who
were the associates Of his illusrious predecessor
IN the war OF the revolution. tlere is proscfip-
lion-downrght, positive, nnmiiigated proscrip-
iion--a prescription that will make seed for The
Democratic church for years 10 come, and, in
The end, will overlurn The Second Washington
and all bis new appointments.
The President need not attempt 10 screen him

political baking He must take the responsible

his administration, he may commit an impeaeha-

alone will be put upon trial, and he alone will
have 10 answer Tor the sins done in his political
body.
Thus does The heroic age act as counter irrita-
fson upon The American body. Thus DO Tie
democratic softs, (nol The gentlemen turned out
tu-day) who were eullcd by The music OF Buena
Vista, find heir Tayorism scorched out OF them.
Thus does The iron, hea'ei 10 white heat, enter
their souls Tor The great work Of publication.

FACTS.
From the frs, of September last TO the 23d q
MAY, The export Of -four, wheat and corn, 10
Great Britain and Ireland, was about five times
as great as i! was during the same period last
year although the Wings argued, year ago,
that our increased export OF bteadstnfts was due
10 temporary causes, (he famine, &c y and was
in no way attributable to the Revenue Bill Of
1916. But fanher-owing 10 the iberaliiy OF the
Democratic system of policy, The large amount
OF expectation to England and her dependencies
being paid Tor, in grea, measure, by their pro-
ductions-do not, as formerly, under the prohibit
tory policy Of the Wings, produce embarrass-
men,s and revulsions in commerce. "Plentice.
| in The Union, perfectly demonstrates these points.
| A STRONG AND SENSIBLE WING VIEW.
Mr.. c. Irving, of Memphis, from Virginia
| formerly, we beeye,) has come out Tor the
legislature in the teeth Of King Caucus and
! in a published address, reads severe lecture
TO the Tennessee Wing leaders for their SUB
mission 10 advance to the odious aggresslons
ON Southern rights. The Sommerville Wing
Convention lodged the issue, or rather, tamely
surrendered the question. Mr.. Irving thus
writes:
"Col Searcy processes to be opposed to The
Wilmot Provso and its affiliated measures, but
al the same time is opposed 10 any agitation
against them, and opposed TO any resistance
which would threaten the Union-a position
equivalent to the open advocacy of them.
belieye the discussion of this question is neces
sary 10 awaken the people TO sense oil the
danger which threatens their property and hrc
sides and in favor Of resistance if forced upor
US by those unconstitutional aggressons. be
Iieye that the position Of Col Searcy, viz: op
position to agitation and opposition to resistance
as declared in the Sommerville resolutions b.
him and forced upon the adoption of that Con
yeutiou, is as dangerous to the South as tn
oren advocacy of the Wilmot Proviso, becaus
tho FEAR OF RESISTANCE ALONE PREVENTS tn
PASSAGE OF THESE MEASURES. To say, in ad
vance, that we will submit, is as impolitc as
is culpabls, because the North has tho majorl'
in both houses Of Congress, and can pas
these measures whenever it is her will to pas
them. OF course she will pass them, il W
make a proclamation OF submission. II IS yer
much like telling the highway robber. Il don
think you ought TO take my money-it IS sinful
but if you will take it, suppose must give
up" ,,
In addition to the fact that the Wilmot pro
I viso Is the basis of direct attack upon SLAYER
in the States and that it is q palpablo violatio

practical effect is fatal to every branch o! Soutt
ern prosperity. believe this is questio
