Had an appointment to speak at Edwards
port, on yesterday. 1t is not very probable
that these men viii have any great influence
in that regien. Judge Law used to make
Clay speeches here bouts-while there was
a prospect OF his going to Congress, but with
the postponement o: that prospect, his favor
for Mr.. Clay departed, and he lorsook his prin-
ciples, and now he doubtless supposes that he
is giving all us Wings particular thunder,"
because we have the consistency to continue
in the same filth he once preached so glbely
from the political stumps of old Knox and the
neighboring counties. All Judge, you have
too many objectionable antecedents'' to
come right here and talk Pierce and King to
your old neighbors.
10 Lane doubtless told pitiful story about
prescription, when Gen. Taylor ordered "poor

"Damn the Eutcntv

Such was the exclamation upon the lips of
almost every Locofoco in Cincinnati, at the
late election, when the Germans finding how
they had been deceived and misled by that
party called Democratic, to which they
were attached, turned around and voted the
whole Wing ticket. We have no doubt they
did ''damn the Dutch," to the bottom Of their
troubled hearts, and merely because Germans
would not permit themselves to be huinbug-
ged any longer. But we expect they will
say "damn The Dutch" good deal harder az
ter the Presidential election, when they real
ize the fact that thousands of Germans have
voted for the old hero and patriot, Scott-for
the man who fought SO hard and so long for
the preservation of those liberties Americans
are now enjoying. We should be sorry to
believe, however, that any German through
fear of being cursed by Locofocos, would not
vote for Gen. Scott

Illinois wide Awake.

Within the last few days we have received
the most encouraging accounts from Illinois.
The Wings there are enthusiastic and active
in every portion of the State. A gentleman
who recently crossed the State, says he does
not believe the Wings are working harder or
more efficiently in any other State in the
Union. Another gentleman, just FIR om South-
ern Illinois, informed US yesterday that the
Wings of even that benighted Locofoco re-
gion are full of spirit, and full of work, which
is better. He says that in places where a
Wing never before dared raise his head, they
are holding enthusiastic meetings, organizing
completely, and are determined to give their
best efforts for Scott. Shrewd Wings are
betting that Illinois will go for Scott There
is an example for the Wigs of the country.
Illinois has been steady Locococo State, but
she bids fair to be redeemed.

The following extract from Gen. ScoTT's
letter Of 26th of May, 1913, should be kept
constantly before the people, as it presents
his real views on the subject of the Naturali-
cation laws, so much misrepresented by those
who desire his defeat:
"CERTAIELT IT WOULD DE IgPOSSlBLE FOR
ne TO RECOMMEND OR SUPPORT ANY MEASURE
INTENDED To EXCLUDE THEM (THE ADOPTED
CITIZENs) FROM a JUST AND FULL rARTICIPA-
TON IN ALL CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS NOW

Patriotiam vaiued by Dimes.

After appointing committee in Congress
to examine through books and documents, to
sec how much money General Scott had re-
ceiVed from Government during forty years
of distinguished services, and starting out II
parade of figures, and attempting to make
capital against the old veteran in most dis
graceful manner, the Democrats have sud-
denly cooled down on that subject, and don't
say a word. They very quickly saw that the
p-2ple would not stand any such dirty work,
and that it only brought down public indigna-
ton on the heads of those Locoiocos them
selves, instead of upon Gen. Scott. The
people saw the perfect folly of attempting to
measure SCOTS services for his country by
dollars and cents, and though he had received
twenty times the amount he has for these
services, the country would still be deeper in
his debt than all the money in its treasury
could repay But even to regard it in pccu-
mary light alone, how lily and niggardly has
Gen. Scott been repaid, in comparison to
what such services would have received i'll
any other country. Why the late Duke of
Wellington is a notable example. He did nc
more perhaps for the glory of Great Britain
thanWinleld Scott has donefor this Republic.
Yet look at the reward Wellington was re-
ceiving in his old age for past services! As
Commander-n-chief he was drawing eighty
dkolrs Gdry, or about $4,000 annually, and
as Colonel OF the Grenadier Guards, he was
entitled to about $4,000 year more. In ad.
dition, he received pension of $4,000 annu-
ally, and was in possession Of property given
him by the British nation, to the amount oil
about $3,5OO,00O. And this is not calcula-
ting or including in any degree the pay he
hadrece;ved during his long services. Yet il
this country, and shame be it said, the Lo.
cofoco leaders have been counting up every
dollar received by Gen. Scott since he enter
cd the army forty years ago, and parading the
aggregate amount, less than 100000, in ;
base attempt to injure him among his .coun
trymen. But they have not dared say he dis
not earn all this, nor that he was not justly
entitled to it as regular pay. Shame upoI
. these men, and shame upon every American
citizen who supports such disgraceiul pro
ceedings.
If the honest Of 10Th parties, do not at tn
polls, rcbuke these men FOR such acts, and 70
others even more dishonorable and contempt
lille, owards the old hero, they deserve all tn
evils which an administration III Che hands o
such men as these slanderers ands poils-hunt
ers may entail upon them

On Saturday evening, Hon John Law, had
an appointment to address our lellow-ctizens
at the City Hall, in this place. The bell was
rung Some half hour-the "leaders" were sta
toned on the street corners, from four till 8
O'Clock, p. NJ, drumming upa crowd to shear
Judge Law''-but no crowd came. We un-
derstand that three Wings and one Pierce
man made up the entire audience. The
Pierce man, discovering his situation, blew
cut the lights and vamoOscd the rancho! As
we had a flash in the pan from the old brass
piece, we suppose twas the old pewter gun

Time was once when John Law could secure
