We have often wondered how person

Mr.. buchanan his treatment of Henri,
Clay, could so far stultify themselves Al
to support the renegade A. j. Donelson
There never was more bitter or perse
vering maligner of Mr.. Clay than THU
man. The following from the st. Louis
Republican, which has always been con-
sidered the leading wing journal Of the
country, proves that there are q few hon
orable wings left:
VINO ARE WE ASKED TO VoTE ron ?
The wing Convention at Baltimore ig-
nored the platform Of the lsnow-nothings,
nominated Fillmore for the Presidency,
and endorsed A. j. Donclson for the
Vice Presidency. Donelson, whenever
he has been prominent at all, was notori-

work Of that concern Against Mr..
Clay they waged war, the like of which
has never been known in this country
Notwithstanding Mr.. Buchanan's dcclar-
alton Of his innocence, they kept up the
clamor until vast numbers Of persons be-
gan TO believe him guilty.
"The Nashville Banner. then edited
by Mr.. Hall, charged that "Mr. Clay
stands convicted of having participated
filiy and entirely in the designs Of
Aaron Burr and again that paper ask

unprincipled politician, ever exist in any
age or country, than Henry Clay Pr
The Banner now opposes Buchanan, and
supports Donclson- former Of whom

VISIT OF THE KEYSTONE cLUB TO WHEAT
BAND.--A THRILLING SCENE. THE son
OF HENRY CLAY UPON THE DOOR STEPS
OF JAMES BUCHANAN .REPUDIATIgG THE
ABOLITION sLAYDEfs on THE FAyoRITE
son OF PENNSYLVANIA.
After the adiournmentof the meeting,
the Keystone Club proceeded to Wheat
land to pay their respects to Mr. Blu
chanan. They were cordially received
by that gentleman, and seemed delight
ed with the appearance of their chief,
who looked hearty and happy. Cheer
after cheer we're given for the "next
President of the United States" and the
widest enthusiasm pervaded those who
we're present. The club formed in single
file, and ono after another walked up and
had a shake of the hand and friendly
greeting from Mr.. Buchanan. After a
short time, it being rumored that Mr..
Clay was present, loud calls were made
for that gentleman, to which he respond
ed in the following language:
"Fellow-citizens and gentlemen Of the
Keystone Club, / thank you from my
heart for the kindness you have mani
tested towards me. Itmay seem strange
to you that the son Of Henry Clay should
stand here upon the door steps of James
Buchanan, his guest, after all you have
heard of the unfair treatment which his
father received from him, but / am not
afraid to stand here They have charg-
ed upon Mr.. Buchanan that he attempted
to ruin the character Of my father
Fellow-citizcns, | do not believe it, and
| do not believe it because my father
told me that he did not. [Great APP
plause. / tell you that, while it has
often been the fate of great statesmen to
be killed by their enemies, it has also
been their fate to be killed by their
friends, and my father suffered the lat
ter fate. Henry Clay was uninjured in
1925, but he received his death at the
hands Of his friends in Philadelphia in
1913. And yet the opponents Of tho
democratic party talk about bargain and
corruption in the year 1925. Such
charges cannot influence nc, for do not
believe them. / know that they are not
true. Renewed Applause. And ]
know further, that they are only adj
dressed to passion and prejudice, and
not to reason and patriotism.
"Fellow- citizens Of the keystone Club
of Pennsylvania, you have a great duty
TO perform next week. Let each man Of
you get his harness upon him to-day,
and keep it buckled on tight until the
18th, for on that day you have greater
battle TO fight than was that Of New
Orleans. Then you fought against for
eign enemies, but now you have TO bat
tie against traitors. and for the peace and
security of your country. [Cheers. T.
But there is another thing you have to
do. We want TO make Mr.. Buchanan
President Of the United States, and we
must and will do ii. Let us all go home

1T is equally unnecessary for me to say
that | am not ashamed to own it. No
doubt there are great many before me
who hold a similar position with myself.
All Of you, certainly, could not have

Well, to you, original democrats, as we'll
as old-line wings, with whom I lately

moments, and give you the faith that is
in me for being here on this platform to-
day, and the reasons which have inhu-
enced me in my determination, and
which | suppose have influenced other
persons equally disinterested."
Again, in conclusion
'We should all feel proud of our leader
and of his eminent qualifications for the
office for which he is candidate. If
We look over the history of the country
we will hardly turn over page of it,
for the last forty years, in which the
name of Mr. Buchanan does not appear.
(Applause.) There he stands, for the
last forty years, side by side with. the
greatest and most illustrious men of the
country. (2enewed applause.) IF any
one of his distinguished compeers were
now living, if the great sage of Ashland,
if Calhoun, of South Carolina, or Web
ster, were still in the midst of .heir
countrymen, to advise and guide them,
they would be the first to do Justice tc
his great and unsurpassed talents, and
use their herculean energies in securing
his success in this crisis. CHEERS. ]
And now, citizens of Lancaster, allow
me to suggest that the present is the
time for you to exert all your energies in
securing the success of the principles
maintained by the democratic party
The democratic ticket deserves, and
should have, your hearty support or
Tuesday next. Remember that the en-.
emies of the Constitution, the Union
and of yourselves will ON that day at
tempt to carry the State, and proclaim to
the world that Pennsylvania has declared
for abolition and diSunion If you love
your country, now is the time for action.
Now is the time for exertion, if you
would preserve the Union, and send it
down to your children as you received il
from your fathers, with all the blessings
you have enjoyed under it. Democrats
and wings, your country calls upon you
to elect those who represent the princi-
pies Of devotion to the Union. On Tues
day, the 14th of October, you are ex-
pected to work together for the success
of national men on the democratic State
ticket. After we have succeeded in de-
feating the factions which now threaten
to oyerwhelm us We may quarrel on
questions of policy. Now there is a
fearful responsibility resting upon every
citizen, and he should be careful to dis
charge it properly"

TIE FUSION TICKET IN PENNSYLVANIA
FOR FREMONT ttf

FOX FREMONT' . 81
On the day Of the election in Penn
sylvania, the New York Herald spoke Of
the contest as follows: if
'For State officers there are but two
tickets in the field--the Union, or Ere
mont ticket, and the ticket of the DEM
ocratic party.
1.-THE Fillmore Know-nothings, in
their State council at Harrisburg, re-
fused TO nominate candidates for State
officers, Notwithstanding which, the or
gans in this city aud other know-nothing
papers have endeayored TO make tho.
rank and file of this party believe that
the republican ticket was composed of
Fillmore men. Such, however, is not
the fact. They we're nominated by
union convention, and the whole three
have since declared in favor Of Fremont
for the Presidency
The New York Tribune, on the day
after the election, when it conceded tho
democrats had carried the State, spoke
Of the opposition ticket as follows
''Thc opposition ticket was nominated
Dy Union cOnFeutlOn last WlntcTs
without reference 10 presidential prefer
ences, and though the candidates upon
il were all for Fremont, they we're voted
for by most Of the Fillmore mon. In
Pennsylvania, however, the straight
wings 'old-lino wings or whatever
they may be called, go directly for Bn-
chanan."
This is conclusive as TO tho real char
acter Of the opposition ticket, and it
shows TO Mr.. Fillmorc's Southern sup
portefs the character of their Northern
Fillmore allies in p Pennsylvania. Whilst
they cordially fuse with the Frcmontcrs
and nid them 10 achieve victories the
Tribune docs not hesitate to speak Of
them in the most contcmptuous terms.
10 says:
Here al the North Mr.. Fillmore Is
in great danger Of being entirely sold
out by his mercenary partisaps who have
State Offices 70 s. urc fof themselves, by
an arrangement b, which they arc TO
have the Buchanan vote for State officers
in return for tho Know-nothing vote 10
DO given, II this arrangement can bo
carried out, for the Buchanan electors. I"

the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle land
ing it admirably on the platform to the Raker's
hand. 1t is easily adjusted to cut any height
of stubble, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving bolt. It does its work perfectly and
equally so, whether the grain be heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and at any rate
Of speed.
In Moving, the Reel efIectually clears the
fnger-beam of grass and other substances; thus
