Editor Ashland Union {: SIR :-As you
appear to be laboring with co~mmendable zeal
to keep your readers posted in regard to all
matters affecting their political, social and pc
cuniary welfares, permit us to call their atten-
ton to the fact that we have Just received the
heaviest stock of Spring and Summer Goods
that we have ever brought to this market. An
extended enumeration of our stock we deem
altogether unnecessary for the reason that eve
ry one who Will favor us with a call will find it
complete in every department. We would
simply simply say that it embraces articles of
every style, variety and quality of Ladies
Dress Goods, and Gentlemen's Summer Wear,
together with a large assortment of House
Keeping Goods, Q~ueensware, Groceries, DC.
Having changed our mode of doing business,
it will be proper for us to state, for the salts
faction of our old customers, briefly, our rea-
sons for so doing. Our first great object IS to
sell goods CHEAP. TIC do this we must have the
money to buy our goods cheap. We wish 70
avoid the losses of bad debts and g." long wind
ed " customers we wish to save the expense
of keeping books and making collections. by
so doing we can and will sell goods at much
less profits than is possible for any credit store
to do LIST, because we shall have the money
to buy our goods, which will save us lO per
cent, 2nd, because We shall save the expense
of one Clerk ; Sd, we will save ; per cent. for
making collections, losses by bad debts and
expense of books. All things considered, we
think it safe to say that it Will make a. differ
enee of at least Is per cent. to the consumer.
This being true we think every man, woman
and child who can pay for their goods, will
avail themselves of the advantages of this sys-
tenn. Those who never expect to pay for their
goods, of course care but little about the price.
All those who wish to buy goods cheap forrea-
dy pay can find a stock of goods which for va
riety, styles and low prices, has never been
equaled in the County, by calling on their
friends and well-wishers,

Anecdote of MIR. Buchanan.

The following anccdoto of Mr.. Blu
shanan is characteristic of tho man
When Mr.. Buchanan frat entered
Congress it was the universal custom for
Senators and Representatives not only
to frank their own correspondence, but
to grant their frank freely to friends
whenever requested. The rates of post
age then being much higher that at pres
ent, a large amount of revenue was thus
kept out of the Golfers of Uucle Sam.
On a certain occasion a leading friend OF
Mr.. Buchanan approached him, and
handing him a large letter or package
requested his frank as a Representative
in Congress.
Is the letter on public business ?''
asked Mr.. Buchanan, turning i. in his
hand.
1t is a letter on private business
said the other "a letter containing an
incloseure to my wife. As the postage
will amount to full one dollar, 1 am anx-
ious to save it."
"Sir," said Mr.. Buchanan, with
marked emphasis, off you are poor ]
will give you a dollar but SO long as ]
am connected with government, by no
act of mine will l ever consent to de-
fraud the National Treasury out of one
cent of its honest revenue. Never, sir 4;
never, never"

souri, Restriction"

souri, Restriction"
To the Editors Of the Enquirer:
The Black Republicans claim an aft
liation with the principles of Jefferson,
and bodily exhort the people to aid them
in restoring the Government to the prin-
ciples of Washington and Jefferson
They thus assert that their great and
only principle, "non-extension of sla-
very" was Jefferson's sentiments, and
of course must be constitutional as
well as laudablei and thus they endeav-
or upon mere assumption, to hoodwink
the good people of the North into the
support of Fremont. A baser SANDER
upon the great champion of Estate
Rights" could not be perpetrated than
this-nothing more false.
To prove the matter, nothing can be
more positive than Mr.. Jegerson's VI
language, which he uttered in regard to
the act termed the " Missouri Restric-
ton"
The proposition for the admission of
| Missouri into the Union was presented
during the session of 1919. Slavery ex-
listed in her borders, which produced ve-
hement discussion in Congress, and ex-
cited an intense interest throughout the
whole Union. The discussion turned
principally upon the following noted re-
striction.
provided that the further
introduction of slavery, or involuntary
serVituds, be prohibited, except for the
punishment of crimes whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted and
that all the children born within the
said State, after the admission thereof
into the Union, shall be free at the age
of twenty-five years"
This restriction was fully discussed,
and was finally lost. Thomas Jefferson
being one of its most bitter opponents
and, in regard to it, thus expressed him.
self:
"The real question, as as seen in the
States affected with this unfortunate
population, is, are our slaves to be pre-.
sented with freedom and a dagger? For
if Congress mark the ~language] has the
power to regulate the conditions of the
inhabitants of the States within the
States, it will be but another exercise Of
that power to declare that all shall be
free. Are we then to see again Atheni

Political Parsons.

Those familiar with the history Of
Scotland, cannot fail to be shocked at
the idea of beholding such scenes as were
produced by the fanatics in the seven
teenth century, re-enacted in u own
country. The Tribune exhorts the cler-
gy to preach against the South and the
Constitution, instead of preaching the
Gospel forgetting, it may be, that freD-
zied eloqueuce, and even religious fer
vor, may contribute to the preparation
of the foulest acts of which mankind is
capable.
Sir Walter Scott, in his Old Nor
t%ality," gives the following specimen of
an enthusiastic " shriek," by one of the
fanatics -
Who talks of signs and wonders ?

Hurrah for John G. Breckenridge
-Lexington gone Democratic.

Hufrah for John g. Breckenridge !
Lexington gone Democratic.
The Lexington (Ky.) Statesman, af-
ter giving an account of the animated
contest in Lexington, KY, the home of
our noble candidate for Vice President,
says:
I" In view of these facts, it is with I'M
feigned pleasure that we herald to the
national men and patriots of the Union,
that here, in the city of Lexington, the
home of Major Breckenridge, the De-
mocracy have achieved such a triumph
as promises with unerring certainty, the
most glorious result in November. We
have here evidence of that revolution in
public sentiment, which will not only
overcome the majority last year given
the K. N. candidate for Governor. but
will, in a tremendous majority for the
Democratic nominees, manifest the in.
telligence of the great mass of the peo-
pie in penetrating the verbiage of party
platforms and discovering the real issue
involved. 1t is, too, but another evil
dence of that deep and abiding conf
dence, esteem and love entertained by
his fellow citizens for that distinguished
man whom the great national party of
the Union have presented as a candi-
date for the second Office in the gift of
the American people. We care not
what Misrepresentation and f~alsehoods
our opponents may heap upon our party
or its platform, tie name of John G.
Breckenridge upon our ticket adds to
it a tower of strength, and inspires a
confidence in the hearts of the people of
Kentucky, which all the calumny and
vituperation of the bitterest a~ssailants
cannot overcome. And we proclaim this
election as a fair evidence that the peo-
pie of Kentucky know the issue and are
determined to place themselves ON the
side of the constitution and in defence
of the constitutional rights of the South.
We hail this result, too, as the more
gratifying and suspicious, because it
seemed to be a spontaneous expression
of the sentiment of the great mass of the
people, and clearly indicates that when
the Union is involved the American peo-
are above party prejudioes and beyond
the control of party leaders.
