uJx MEMORY OF HENRY CLAY."-The editor

"IN MEMORY OF HENRY LAY."-The editor
of The Manchester Mirror, in describing his tray
Cling experiences on a trip to the White Mount
tains, refers to the attempts which are making
for the erection of monument to Henry Clay,
and states that John Hayes Thompson of Hold
erness, a shoe manufacturer, whom he had met in
the cars, a man of good humor and good head
piece, wears upon his face monument to the de-
feat of Henry Clay, 'smore in sorrow than in an
ger.'' Some fifteen years ago he made ayow that
h. would never shave again until Henry Clay was
elected President; he never has and now his beard
is a foot long, though some long clippings have
been taken from it. - s-,.- 81

But two Great Parties.

There are but two parties in this country-the
democratic party and the opposition TO that party
The present is one Of those occasions when the
whig passes almost out of mems memories. Ota-
er names supersede the name of whig. Other
Influences rise above it. Some are for giving il
up becauseit has been used for base purposes BY
bad men; others, because it has an odor of suspi-
cion about it; others, because like an old gar
ment, it has served its day. Every little section
heretofore banded under the name ofwhig, is now
setting up for ITSELF and there almost as many
names as there are organizations. Meanwhile the
democratic party stands in fact and upright, and no
body thinks ofthe overthrow or of the decay of the
democrat party. The odds and ends of faction,
however like the little people in Gulliver's Ira
vels, who bind their huge prisoners with uItudi-
nous but tiny bonds, think that by one common
attack they may crush it to pieces. We shall
see.-Unioa.

One Of the Effects of Fusion.

In Philadep pha at the municipal election every
order of human beings, except the regular demo-
cratic party, tased together, and elected thor
ough bred fusion ticket. The Washington Pa
Examiner shows up how this thing of fusion
works there. in the following strong light If fu.
sion succeeds in Ohio, it will carry out its inten
tions and designs the same that it has done in
Philadelphia. All hungry Office seekers will
have to be accommodated.
The Examiner says:-"The salaries of all the
officers of the Consolidated City of Philadelphia
have been fixed by the new City Councils. They
amount in the aggregate, to the almost ncredi-
BILE sum of $636,0OO! The salary of the Mayor
has been raised from $4,000 to $4,000, which IS
nearly three times as much as is allowed the Gov.
ernor of Pennsylvania, and almost one-third the
salary of President Pierce. The other officers
of the new city are paid in proportion to the
Mayor; while, as if sufficient amount of the
peoples money could not be appropriated by a
mere addition to the salaries, the number of Off
ces in some departments has been increased four
fold. The "great captains" the "centurions,' 81
and the "leaders of tens,'' in the ranks of the
'fusonists," had all to be accommodated and ''re.
warded" Hence, the necessity for multiplying
the offices, and filling them with "swarms of hun
cry officials to harrass the people, and eat out
their substance" Here is the first bitter fruit
of the Wing and Know Nothing triumph in the
City Of Brotherly Love! Heavy taxes, high sal.
aries, and ''a splendid government" How the
people will rejoice under the new rule of Whe
economists and genuine Native American patri.

No Whcat---NO Taxes.

Suppose the advocates of vested rights--those
who chime in with the bankers in denouncing
the Democrats for passing law to compel bank
ers to pay their just proportion Of tax-should be
met with demand from the farmers the coun-
try for an exemption similar to the one the bank
ers claim, viz: "No profits-no taxes" Or sup
pose that enough Of Legislators had been elected
some six or eight years ago TO pass law exempt
all farmers from paying taxes who make no pro-
fits, and that having power, they did actually pass
such law, to remain in force for twenty, fifty or
a hundred years, could there man be found in
our midst to say that it would be right to leave
these farmers alone, and impose heavier burthens
upon the rest OF community. to make up the def
cheney! When the wevl and the rust, the
drought or the frost, sweep away the crops of our
farmers, the source of their profts--and in nu-
merous instances, the means of keeping soul and
body together-have they not far greater show
of reason Oh their side to justify such q law and
such an immunity, than the rich bankers have!-
Well, if it would be wrong to exempt farmers
when their wheat crops fail, from taxes is it moi
more palpably wrong to justify the bankers in
trying to shrk their just portion Of the public bur
thens! And can those politicians be honest, who
succomb to the money power, irrespective Of the
gross injustice done thereby TO the rest of com.
munity! Let the tax payers, the farmers, an.
swer at the ballot-box. II il be right for the bank
ers to say, "no profits, no taxes it will be equal.
ly for the farmer to say, "no wheat, no Taxes
