measures Of the democratic party, and
inficiing an irreparable injury upon all
his democratic friends In the state.
We do not wish TO be alarmists, nor to
create unnecessary distrust Of our ability
to beat our opponents in the coming con-
test. On the contrary. we believe we can
and will beat them handsomely, if the party
acts as it ought to act, harmoniously and
energetically. But it would be censurable
to disguise the fact, that in many of the
representative and senatorial districts,
political parties are nearly balanced, and
that slight dissatisfaction with the ticket,
or carelessness in not attending the election
on the part of the democrats, may turn the
scale in favor of our opponents and give
them the majority in the legislature. 1t
is to guard against such a suicidal course
and such disastrous result, that we thus

in every part of the state; and we trust we

charge of wishing to dictate, that it is the
duty of the democratic press, every where,
to speak plainly upon the subject, and not
to cry all well, until the contest is won.
We have not been in the habit OF inter-
fering in the nomination of local candidates,
nor do we intend to, beyond that of giving
to the people correct information, and
urging the selection of sound and reliable
men, who will carry into practice, in the
legislature, the doctrines professeo before
the people, and who will not disgrace
themselves and the party, as did some
members of the last session. We may be
allowed, however, to express our regret,
without any departure from this rule, at
the danger which seems to threaten the
union and success of the party in some
few counties, and TO utter the hope, for the
reasons already given, if for no other, that
those who have the power. will so use 1t,
as to remove existing difficulties and secure
he election of the democratic candidates.
Should the party, by any peradventure, be
defeated at crisis so important, those who
may be justly chargeable with it, will incur
L high responsibility, while those who
nay sacrifice personal feeling to secure its
success, will merit high commendation;
and entitle themselves to the lasting favor
md gratitude of the whole party.

"The Wings are FederalistS when they get the
Power"

The following is an extract from let
ter written by Gen. Jackson, on Septem-
Der lst, 1910, to Alfred Gardner and
others, Dresden, Tennessee.
The federalists call themselves wings,
but the people can see that-they hold no
principle in common with the wings of
our glorious revolution. They uiH be
federalsts aohen they get the po,cer, by
whatever name they choose to call them
selves before they get it. They will go
for national bank, for national system
of internal Improvements by the general
government, for q protective arifuaacar-
ranted by the constitution, and for that
policy generally which strengthens the
general government, by taking power
unnecessarily from the States and the peo-
pie. The democratic party, on the contra
ry, have no professions to make which are
doubtful. They adhere to the constitution
as it was expounded by the friends of
popular government-as it was admins
tered by MIR. Jefferson in the days of 1902,
and as it has been since maintained by
those statesman who have recognized the
principle that the people are able to gov
ern themselves.

Importance of having Democratic Majority in
the next LEGISLATURE

We regard the approaching election as
one which is to produce more permanent
effect upon the general welfare and politics
of the state, than any one which has been
held for some years. 1t is true we have
neither president nor governor to elect,
but we have to elect senators and represen-
tatives, who will have the apportionment
of the representation, and the formation of
the representative and senatorial distric t,
for the next seven years. This is one of
the highest and most important duties
which can devolve upon alegislative body.
1t affects the very first principles of repre-
sentative government. An unequal and
unjust apportionment and gerry7na,ader
of the districts, such as was made by the
federal United States bank party, during
the administration of Stevens and Ritner,
aided by the bank-bought renegades from
the democratic ranks, would not only be
destructive of the rights of the people, but
might subject the state to federal legislation
and misrule for all time to come. This
is a serious question for democrats to pom
der and reflect upon, and we are sure that
all those who will reflect upon it, must at
once perceive the danger to which dissen-
ton in few counties must expose the
ascendency of the democratic party, its
principles and measures, not only for the
next seven years, but for an indefinite
period.
Should the federalists, by reason of
division in the democratic ranks in any of
the counties, or districts, chance to get a
majority in the legislature at the coming
election, we have reason to believe, from
their past conduct, they would so arrange
the districts as to control the legislature for
the next seven years, and engraft, as far as
possible, all their heresies upon the policy
of the state. Upon such condition of
things, banks and irresponsible corporations
of every description, would be multiplied
to all indefinite extent. 1t is, at a time like
the present, when there is no prominent
object before the people to attract their
attention and to excite them to action, that
their liberties are in the greatest jeopardy.
If there was president or governor to
elect, the attention of all would be directed
to the issue; but as it is, we are truly ap-
prehensive that the importance of the com
ing election, may not be fully understood
and appreciated. It's importance cannot
be over estimated by those who honestly
believe, the ascendency of the democratic
party is identified with the best interests of
the people, and the substantial prosperity
of the state. This then, is not time to
indulge in factious proceedings and unkind
personal feelings, to avenge either real or
supposed wrongs, nor to permit partialities,
or considerations of a personal nature, to
prevent any democrat from doing his
whole duty to his party. Every democrat
ought to recollect, that the effect of his
conduct may extend far beyond his own

Items from New Orleans Papers received at Bal.
lim0re Last Night.

BALTIMORE, Aug. "a.
The Spanish Consul has re-opened his
office at New Orleans.
The steamship Yatch arrived at this
port on the 18th, with dates from Port
Lavaca to the 11th. The returns of the
election held in Texas on the 9th are
nearly all in. Bell leads his opponents,
Wood and Mills, by large majority in
the guoernatorial contest. Anderson was
also ahead for Lieut.. Governor.
The Ne,cs says that Capt. Brewer,
formerly of the schooner European, ira
ding between Port Lavaca and New Or
leans, who had been visiting the various
towns West with view to obtain stock
holders i'll new line Of steamers to run
between the above ports, says he has
obtained stock enough to build two boats
adapted to the trade.
The lowlands of Texas are almost
inundated by the heavy rains during the
past month. The Brazos and Trinity
rivers are unusually high. The Prairie
roads are covered with water in many
places. Fears are entertained of consid-
cradle damage to the cotton crops on the
level country in the vicinity of the coast.
The following is from the Houston TEL
egraph of the 9th inst. We learn from
a gentleman just arrived from the frontier
that one of the Indians who accompanied

Passo, has returned and reports terrible

The Florida Var.
From the Florida Republican Aug. I6.

From the Florida Republican Aug. l6.
A report reached Jacksonville, on Tues
day evening last, of the appearance of the
Indians at Barber's, about thirty-two miles
in northwest direction from here. The
non-arrival of the Tallahassee stage at its
usual hour on Tuesday morning, created
some apprehensions that the report was
true. The stage arrived about 10 o'clock
at night, and from Mr.. Dexter who came
down in it, we learn the PARTICULARS
While Mr.. Barber was absent on Monday
morning, a servant woman reported that
she counted twelve Indians near the house.
A despatch was sent for Mr.. B., who
examined the spot where the Indians were
said to have been seen, and found the grass
trampled. The stage reached his house
about supper time, and after the passengers
had taken supper, and while the horses
were changing, Mrs. Barber ran in greatly
terrified from the kitchen, saying that guns
had been snapped at Mr.. B. from outside
of the house, the reports of which were
distinctly heard. She exclaimed the
Indians were upon them, and begged all
the men to stand by. A hasty prepara-
ton for defence was made, and the party

an attack. On Tuesday morning, about
sunrise, negro man belonging to Mr..
Barber who had been sent on Monday to
gather in some fodder, and for whose safe
ty some fears had been felt, made his ap-
pearance, and reported that he had been
carried away, while at work, by four
Indians and negro, who detained him,
and asked him number of questions, and
released him on condition that he would
meet them again at IL o'clock on Tuesday.
He described the four men as Indians,
having rings in their ears, and long black
hair, and says that the black man acted
as interpreter. Mr.. Barber believes that
the men seen are indians, or Murrelites,
disguised as such, to commit robbery
Upon hearing the report of the man, he
gathered several neighbors and went in
pursuit, but was not heard of at 5 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon, when the stage left
No one could have expected to have
seen Indians at this time in that neighbor-
hood, and if the party seen prove to be
such, it is probable that there is a great
number, and that they are on their way
to the Okefenokee, an old rendezvous in
the late war.

Sketch of KOssuth, the Hungarian Leader.

He looked paler and more suffering than
usual. A glass of medicine stood at his
side, from which he tasted from time to
time, as fit were the means of keeping up
his physical existence. Indeed, though
have often worked al his side from early
in the morning, till late at night, l do not
remember having seen him stop to ia ke
any nourishment except his mixture, and
though he sometimes eats, | can assure
you, that the amount of food which he
consumes, is hardly enough to keep a
young child from starving. One might
has no longer an evidence of its own; the
man is nothing but spiritual energy, for, if
it were not SO, the perishing sickly hull
would long since have been dissolved, in
spite of all the wisdom ofthe physicians.
Heswill not be sick, and he is not. Great
as are his bodily infrmities and suffering,
he is strong and ,indefatigable. His spir-
itual resources, his will, his enthusiasm,
endow him with the powers of giant,
although his physical strength is not more
than that of a boy of six years. He bids
defiance 10 death that threatens him in so
many different maladies; his spirit keeps
the body alive. How long can this Hero
of the Nineteenth Century-this guide of
our Fatherland amid the foes that surround
it-how long can this spirit sustain the
contest that it ever carries on with the
little ply sical nature that is attached to it!
My friend if beyond the ocean, in the free
and happy America, there are men who
who feel sympathy for our good cause,
who desire the success of our efforts; do
not ask their prayers so much for the tri-
umphs of the Magyars as for the life of
Kossuth; for Hungary cannot be conquer
ed, so long as this incomprehensibleb being,
whose name is Kossuth, is spared, though
Russians and Austrians enter the country
by myriads, and though thousands of our
brethren fall as sacrifices of Freedom. He
is the image of Liberty, Equality and
Fraternity; he is the incarnate spirit of
Justice; he is the Washington OF Hungary

English affairs.

The English papers chronicle the pro-
gress of the Queens visit to Ireland, and
the attendant proceedings at great length.
! The Royal party arrived in Cork on the
I'd inst, at night, where the authorities
were caught mapping, as they had not ex-
pected the visit so soon by twenty-four
hours.
The Royal Squadron sailed from Cork
on Saturday, and arrived at Kingston on
Sunday evening. The following day her
Majesty and suit disembarked and pro-
ceeded to Dublin by railway, where she
was the guest of the Lord Lieutenant until
Friday. when the party. returned to Kings

The reception of the Queen at Cork,
enthusiastic in the highest degree. The
wild clamorous shout of Her Majesty s
Irish subjects was, it is said, sight never
to be forgotten-a sound that will be re-
collected forever.
The cholera continues constantly on
the increase. The deaths in the London
district, which, by last weeks advices,
were 7s3, reached to 926. There were
57s cases on Wednesday and 253 deaths;
on Thursday $50 cases and 24l deaths.
Ir Manchester and the neighborhood some
additional cases are reported, but the man.
ufacturing districts, up to this time, have
been happily spared from the scourge.
Bristol seems to be greatly improving.
At Plymouth and along the southwest
coast the epidemic seems still to prevail to
a very alarming degree. In Wales the
mortality has been very considerable, but
the S. E. coast has generally escaped the
visitation. During the last few days the
heat Of the weather has been excessive.

The Commissioners of the Pope had
arrived in Rome. They had dissolved
the whole army, even those who had been
faithful to the Pope.
The President has returned to Paris
from his visit to the Loire He will next
week attend the opening of one or two
lines of railway connected with Sracburg
and Lyons, and his next visit will be to
Havres and the Northern provinces.
The rumOr relative TO a meditated coup
de etat to change the face of the govern
ment, has reached such a height, that in
his speech to the people of towns, the
President refers to the subject. He says:
''It is pretended in Paris that the gov
ernment meditates some enterprise similar
to the 18th Brumaire. Are we then in the
same circumstances? Have foreign ar
mics invaded our territory! Is France
torn by war! Is the law without vigor
and the government without force! No!
we are not in a condition to necessitate
such heroic remedies
Some of the French journals insist that
the visit of the President to the western
provinces was failure, and that his re-
ception, although warm, was not enthu
slastlc, and in fact, that part of the country
at least, is not ripe for an imperial reyolu
