Horace Greeley calls Cash. Clay a COW
ard. Call Cash. so to his face, Q white
hated philosopher, and like a good draft,
you will be Cash'd at sight.
Now that Virginia has pronounced in
favor of the Union, it is certainly high time
for Gov. Wise to redeem his promise of fly
ing to South Carolina and taking service in
her cause. Probably she awaits his arrival
before attacking Sumter.
The South Carolina Legislature conclud-
ed not to raise the whole of the war money
by taxing the people but to provide a part
of it by issuing irredeemable paper. We
are glad that she does not mean to fight on
hard money-certainly her safest course is
to be satisfied with fighting on paper.
Our old friend Scion Borland, of the
Memphis Inquirer, the vigorous supporter of
"The Union, the Constitution, and the En-
forcement of the Law" in the late Presi-
Dental canvass, has been defeated as a Dis
union candidate for the Tennessee Conven-
ton. Oh, thou not wisest of Solons, thou
dost not know how very sorry we are
not
Why is it that South Carolina has gone
two or three times through the mockery of
demanding from President Buchanan a nego-
tiation for the surrendering,up of Fort Sum
ter to her ownership? Does she not know
that Mr.. Buchanan has no more power to
cede away the public property than the
obscurest individual in the land
! Yesterday Mr.. Lincoln started on what is
intended to be a triumphal march to the
White House. He will not go through
single Slave State, nor put his foot into one.

Ha ha ha That's fun alive" We
marvel how " Old Abe " is to get TO Wash
ington without going through single Slave
State, or putting his foot in one. We
know that he is pretty long-legged, but can
he jump clean across Maryland? Or is she
expected, in honor of his approach, to
abolish slavery?
Gov. Floyd is to be tried at Washington
for sWindling or stealing, and Senator Ben
jamin, who committed theft upon such an
extensive scale when he was in college, ap-
pears to be one of the chief witnesses
against him. In case of trial, for theft,
Benjamin might very appropriately be a
| juryman if the case were to be tried by
Jury of experts"

Bas@A young gentleman of our acquaint-

was in a crowd the other Gay where the in
evitable and interminable question of the

boys, tell you what it is. You may talk

sG@The speech of Mr.. Lincoln delivered
at the Manongahela House, Pittsburgh, is
more elaborate than any he has before de-
livered since he started on his present tour.
Those who were so much exercised over the
few queries he propounded to the people at
Indianapolis, may become a little more re-
conciled when they read in his Pittsburgh
speech the announcement that nothing he
had before done or said was to be consider
as an enunciation of the course he intended
pursuing as President

WAsHINGToN's BIRTH DAY.-We notice by
are being make by many OF our sister cities
to properly celebrate the anniversary of the
birth day of the Father of his country. If
ever there was a time when the people
should call to mind the virtues and patriot
ism of Washington, it is the present, and We
should be highly pleased to see our people
moving in the matter. At Madison the SOL
diers of the Mexican War recently held a
meeting and made arrangements for turn
ing out in procession on that day with other
associations The soldiers of the War of
1912, and Indian wars, were also invited to
participate in the procession.
We doubt not Captain Ellis's artillery
company in our city viii be found on duty
on that occasion, but they should not be per
mitted to monopolize the day. The Turner's
and our military men who have been drill
ing nightly for some weeks should unite in
a suitable demonstration to show that the
momory of Washington still lives in the
hearts of the residents of our city and conn
ty. The Singing Societies, also, should ex-
tend helping hand. What say our work
ing men, merchants, and citizens generally
Will we permit the 22d of February to pass
undecided and unmarked by any demonstra-
ton that would give the stranger to under
stand that it was the anniversary of the
birth of the Father of his Country

Begl The Terre Haute Journal says we
misrepresented the Douglas men when we
stated that the mass of the Douglas Demo
Gratis were opposed to the Crittenden Com
promise and would vote it down. 1t says
the Douglas Democracy of Vigo county are,
to a man, for that Compromise and opposed
to coercion.
We based our assertion on the ground
that the mass of the Douglas men are hon
est in their convictions. We believe that
the mass of the party are honest, or else such
political weathercocks as controls the Terre
Haute Journal would never have permitted
the disruption of the party at Charleston
If the mass of the Douglas Democrats are
not opposed to the principle embodied in
the Crittenden resolutions, why didn't the
leaders of that organization concede the
principle at Charleston and thereby prevent
the disruption of the party? They were
not asked to concede anything half as OBJ
iectionable as may be found in the Critten-
den proposal-it cannot properly be termed
o OOAAIAOAAAoN'f
We still believe that we are correct in
our Judgment as TO the opinions of the rank
and file of the Douglas organization. We
are aware that it was predicted during the
last canvass that after the election the
Breckenridge wing of the Democracy would
become the democratic party and the Doug
las men would abandon their doctrine of
popular sovereignty, and seek admittance in
to the Breckenridge fold; and while :. the
course of the Douglas leaders indicate that
the prediction is likely to be fully verified,
we nevertheless sincerely believe that the
bulk of the party will refuse to be thus
transferred.
If the Journal means-in saying that the
Douglas men are opposed to coercion--that
they are opposed to enforcing the laws, it
ISLANDERS them most vlllainously. We
have supreme contempt for a man who has
the meanness to attempt to destroy the gov
ernment by encouraging the violation of
its laws, and yet is too cowardly to do him
self what he incites others to attempt

BSy@ Senator Slidell deserves repri-

fully attained From his remarks we con-
clude that secession is a political game. The
