So far as regards the resolutions passed by the
democracy of New Hampshire, or of any other
State, L am surprised that one assuming the vast
amount of political erudition YOU DO should be 40
sophisteal as to present them as any authority or
offer them an apology for any position taken
upon national questions.
What are We to understand by this quo
tation Do you mean to say that State
democracy and National democracy are so
entire distinct and different that one can
not be taken as authority for the other?-
Why, only two years ago, it was a very COM
mon boast of your party orators, that dem
0cratic doctrines were the same all over the
Uuion; the same in Massachusetts as in
South Carolina, &c; and If so, had | not a
right 10 assume that it was the same in a
State Convention as in National Conven-
ton; the same in Concord as in Bal timore?
Or is it a fact that there is one kind of De
mOcracy for eastern States, and different
kind for the nation at large? One kind
for Buchanan and another kind for Doug
las? One kind for Illinois and a different
kind for Missouri One kind for Kansas
and different kind for Minnesota and Ore
gan? In short, one kind for the Free
States and different kind for the Slav,
State?
But sir, to settle the question once for
all, | can show you from the highest au-
thority which you recognize, viz: from
the National Convention, that in 1918 the
democratic party did not hold to the doc
trine Of Squatter Sovereignty, as set forth
in the Nicholson Letter; but that they
distinctly repudiatcd it, | will call your
attention to the following extract from
page 722 Of the 81 vol Of Benton "Thir-
ty Years View
mir. Yancy, Of Alabama, submitted this resell
uuon, a article Of democratic faith 10 be insert
ed IN the creed; to-wit: That the doctrine Of
non interference CW the rights Of property NJ any
portion ~ this confederation, be IL an the States or
az the I'rruories by any other than hc parties IN
terc'tcd az them, Is the true reDUbiic0R doctrine
recognized by this Jody' This article Of faith was
rejected; ZlG against 36 that, up to the month
OF May, in the year 1918, squatter sovereignty. or
the right of the inhabitants Of tcrrjog to deter
mine the question of slavery for themselves, was
rejected and ignored By the democratic party
Now sir, | wish you to bear IN mind that
it was the National Dcmocratic Conven-
ton that thus repudiated the doctrine Of
Squatter Sovoreignty,--an not only that,
but the National Convention Of 1913, and
the same that nominated Gen. Cass FOR the
Presidency. Showing conclusiycly that
he was not nominated or supported on the
ground of the Nicholson Letter.

Lake superior Iron has been subjected
70 SO many tes0 Of its tsnsoity aud
strength, and its superiority over Ill other
iron in the world 90 repeatedly and
triumphsntly shown, that any further tss-
timony upon the subject, would TO be alto.
gether superAuous. This testimony, how
ever is constantly accommodating on every
hand. A gentleman just up from De-
troit, states that j. Il. Wayne d Co., large
engine manufacturers there, have come To
the determination to use no other iron in
the manufacture of engines. And our
word for it, j. B. Wayne a. Co., will have
all they can do to supply orders which will
come In upon them, az soon as their deter
mination is generally known. And other
manufacturers, who decline the use of Lake
superior iron, on the score of expenses
will find that they have made great mis-
take, and their customers will not be slow to
let them know it.
1t has been reported that the Lake
Superior pig metal did not mould readily
into thin castings. But this impression
came of ignorance. Mr.. Wayne said 70
the gentleman above alluded ~, that by
iuxing it properly, he found no difficulty
in running il into the thinest castings
1t is naturally, be said, too strong, and only
needs suitable fuxing or iluting.
Ard the castings he make from it, seems
to be possessed of amazing strength. The
Advertiser speaks Of case which transpir-
ed at VI. Waynes shop, which affords
striking evidence Of the great strength Of
the castings made from tn iron A large
pump gearwhecl had been cast from the
first lot Of pig sent down from the Pioneer
Works, for the Rockland mine and the
trial of its strength consisted in an attempt
to break off the neck formed in the orifce
through which the metal was poured into
the mould, which neck was an inch and
a half through For long time it with
stood the effort to break it off with a
heavy sledge hammer, being almost as
tough and springy as piece Of steel of
the same size. Those that witnessed the
breaking Of it were astonished ut its
tcnacity
Thus is the Lake Superior iron fast
making its way to the public favor, and
the time is coming on when the iron
mountains ofthis peninsula will be looked
to as the chief sources Of supply of the
highest grades Of important metal d.
