Territory is busily engaged getting out the
blanks and papers and appointing the deputies
t" take the census it will date from Sept. 2lst.
There are to be 81 members of the Senate and
so in the House. Every body is wide awake
politically up that way and gentleman who
has resided in the Territory some months in
forms rs that the Democrats are sure to sue

Democrat is candidate we believe for the

engaged in "bush-whacking" as we used to call
it '.in yonder.'

MIR CLAY ON AGITATION AND NE.
GRO EQUALITY WITH THE WHITES


Mr.. Clay famous letter to his biographer
| Cotton, is SO pertinent to the present condition
of public affairs that We publish t.. The old
line wings, who now cooperate with the dem.
ocrats, will find their old leaders platform as
| useful now as it was fourteen years ago:
ASHLAND, Sept ,, 1913.
"My DEAR SIR ALLOW me to selecta sub
ject for one of your tracts, which, treated in
| your popular and condensed way, | think
would be attended with great and good effect
mean abolition.
"it is manifest that the uitras of that Marty
| are extremely m;schevors, and arc hurrying
| on the country to fearfll consequences They
are not to be conciliatcd by the Wings. En-
crossed with single idea, they are for moth
ing else. They would see the admin:s,
OF the Government precipitate the nation into
absolute ruin before they would lend helping
hand to arrest its career. They treat worst,
demo, nee most, those who treat them best, who
so far agree with them rs to admit slavery to
hc an evil. Witness their conduct towards
Mr. Briggs and Mr.. Adams in Massachusetts,
and towards me.
81 will give you an outline of the manner in
which world han!leit. Show the origin of
slavery. Trace its introduction to the British
Government Show how it is disposed of by
the federal Cons tuition that it is left exSJu-
81, ely to the States. except in regard TO fuei-
tives, direct taxes, and representation. Show
that the agitation of the question in the free
States will first destroy all harmony, and final
ly lead to disunion-f erpetual war-the eXter-
animation of the African racC-ultimatc militia
ry despo;ism.
i. ''But the great aim and OBJ ect of your tsact
should be 10 arouse the laboripg classes Of the
free States against abolition. Depict the con-
seqrenccs 10 them Of immediate abolition
The slaves being free. would be dist crsed
throughout the Union they would enter into
competition with the free laborer, with the
American, the Irish, the German-reduce his
wages, be confuundcd with him, and affect bis
moral and social STA ading. And as the utras
go bob for abolitionism and amalgamat ON,
show that their object is to unite in marriage
the laboiing white M n and the laboring bl ok
woman, to :cduce the white laboring man to the
DIES, ised and degraded condition Of the black
MN.
81 would show their opposition to COLOMBIA
ton. Show lis humane, religious, and patriot
ic aim. That they are those whom God has
separated, and anna gamatc together the two
races, in violation of Gods will, and to keep
the blacks here, that they may interfere with,
degrade, and debase the laboring whites.
Show that the b itish Government is co-opera-
ting with the abolition SITS for the purpose of
dissolying the Union, &c. You can make
pow crful article, that will be felt in every OK
