foot, and canopy and six fanteuils in dead gold,

Fourteenth, the grand monarque, she could have
dreamed Of the use 10 be made of her handwork
were there for the imperial repose. The walls
panclled in white and gold-the centres being
filled with the same needlework which covers the
chairs, and the ceiling is formed into large oval
medallion, on which angels floating among azure
clouds are beautifully painted, lowering round

names they indicate from every breath oftaint or

and golden fringe, conducts you 10 n species of

fall all over the walls rich blue silk hangngs re-
lieved with embroidered silver. Over the mantel-
piece is a mirror from Venice, whose beautiful
form at once bespeaks its origin; and in the corner
placed on a toilette table, covered with Honiton
lace, is a dressing glass from the house Of Star &
Martinez London, framed in silver of the most
elaborate workmanship. In expectation of the

would be more than futile. II is sufficient 10 say
that no other loom than that Of this far renowned

than the wild and reckless promptngs of licen-
uous avarce-the JPhg Piatform!!! Now,
neighbor, here is an area ''to suit all comers, y
you must admit, and yet you are moment be-
fore complaining Of our cnIarging the area of the
Democratic platform!
But word upon these famous, 'unalterable
principles" of the Wing platform. What are
they? We gave YOU ours, few weeks since
vouchsafe yours 10 us.
One Of them once the United States Bank
but this !" unaiieratle" principle has been aban-
doned by nearly your whole party
Another Of these unalteraJie principles was the
protective tariff, but many of the most odious
features Of this measure have been renounced.
Internal. improvements, Distrbution-both of
them were disavowed in 1910 by the repre-
sentatives of your party everywhere. Hence it
is too much to claim '',unalterable'' for them
What, then, are these unalterable principles
you boast II is not wise, we are told in the
good Book, to place our light under bushel, but
let il 80 shine before men" as to attract the un-
wary and lost pilgrims in the pursuit of truth and
knowledge. There is moral grandeur in your
description of the "Whig platform, . very at
tractire even TO US, on paper, but give US in your
next, less of the beautiful shell and more of the
kernel
Having established, we think, the utter absur-
dity Of our neighbor's claim for the 'sgreat Wing
platform, and which we still insist is a mere
fancy, and the gross injustice and unfairness of
its charges against the Democratic platform, we
wait with patience the manifesto of the ''unaler-
able principles upon whose solid basis stands, as
it did from the beginning, the great Whig plat
form!
II would not he respectful in us TO close this
article, without congratulatng our venerable
contemporary upon the ''strong Indications -
which he thinks he sees, ''that the great princ-
pies which the inieiige,,cer has been laborng for
nearly half century TO inculcate and enforce,
and from which it has never for an instant turned
aside for any temporary advantages, about
once more TO assume their influence in the minds
of our countrymen, and that he may yet live to
hail their prevalence in the councils of the ma
ton" 1t is rare fortune to live to see the la
bors Of "half century, blessed with frution,
and we trust, in fortyeighl more years, ourselves
to be as conscious Of having done an equal amount
of good, in our day and generation.
