Henry Clay used TO advert with much
zest 70 his welcome, as Speaker of the

occasion We're very slightly treated by the

The fact was, Clay had written both

II is barely possible that one of these ef-
forts might have been infinitely superior
to the other, but the fact of their com
mon origin, if il had been known, would
unquestionably have influenced the tone

POLITICAL.
ANOTHER NEW DEPARTURE.
No Democratic Candidate for
1872.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12.-The Republican to-
day has an editorial of much significance.
II suggests that no Democratic candidate
be nominated for 1872. 1t says there is no
national precedent for such a course, but
the experiment is not an untried one, and
cites the campaign of last fall 1t then asks
why should not an experiment that proved
50 successful in breaking the power of Rad
icalism in Missouri be not employed to
break the power ofRadicalismin in the Union?
Why should not the whole country find de-
liverance from a party that is essentially
proscriptiye, oppressive, unconstituti Onal
and violent in its policy and practice in the
same effective way in which a single
State found such deliveranee? The
result of the Missouri election of 1870
was not indeed Democratic victO-
nv, but it was certainly a Radical
defeat; and the abolition of disfranchisement,
the subsidence of animosities, the restoration
of concord and good will among the people,
and the revival Of a cheerful interest in
public affairs and in local enterprises
which followed that defeat, are consequences
which vindicate the wisdom Of the expert
ment in Missouri, and at least suggests its
repetition in a larger field. 1t thinks the
adoption of this policy would divide the
Republican party; that the liberal element
in that party would nominate a candidate
in opposition to Grant, whom the Demo
Gratis could support, and the resuk would
be majority of Democrats and Liberals in
Congress, which, while differing materially
from Democratic victory, would be an
ineStimable improvement on the present
order of things.

MANISTEE.
MANISTEE.
Another Million Dollars Burned
Great Distress OF the Inhabitants.
FamiShing for Days without Re-
lief.

DETROIT, Oct. 13.-Full particulars OF
the burning of Manistee, Sunday night, are
received. About 10 o'clock the fire engine
gave out, after which the flames ravaged,
without resistance, the helpless town, the
wind blowing gale all night. The loss is
estimated at nearly million dollars, on
which there is but $4,000 insurance.
The suferings of the people are beyond
description, Manistee being so far beyond
immediate communication that considerable
time passed before their wants could be
made known. The people of Grand Rapids
and Grand Haven promptly supplied i'm
mediate necessities, and Senator Ferry and
the Mayor of Grand Rapids have issued an
earnest appeal to the people Of the whole
State for aid.
They say the latest news from Manistee
more than confirms all previous reports of
the suffering there existing. The necessi-
ties Of the people are imperative. They
need Immediately -four, meat and clothing.
Direct all supplies to Senator Ferry, Grand
Haven. A good vessel will convey all con-
tributions from Grand Haven to Manistee.
The people of Detroit and other cities are
nobly responding to the appeals made to
their generosity. A car load of provisions
leave here tonight for Grand Haven. One
goes from Lansing in the morning. Large
quantities of clothing bedding and proviS-
ions are forwarded by boats to Port Huron,
Lexington and Port Sarilae for the relief
Ofthe hundreds of destitute congregated at
those places.
Another Town Consumed.
LATER-Reports from Holland announce
that Rev. Mr.. Scott is safe, and it is now
believed that no lives were lost at the burn
ing of that town.

Dire Distress Of Women and

EVANSVILLE, Wis, Oct. 13.-Gov. Fair
child telegraphed the following from Green
Bay in relation TO the Wisconsin fires to-
night:
The APPALLING calamity has not been exag-
gerated. Over thousand men, women and
children are now destitute and the loss of
life has been very great. No less than 500
persons have been burned at Pestigs and
vicinity, and 800 on the eastern shore.
Scores of women and children are now in
temporary hospitals, burned and manned.
They want money, clothing, bedding, boots,
shoes and provisions of all kinds, not
cooked; Building maserials and everything
needed by family to commence life with.
The people are responding nobly, but
there is no danger of too much being re-
ceived, the destitute must be provided for
during the winter.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 13.-CoI. c. d.
Robinson, Of the Green Bay AdcOcqte, tele-
graphs to Mayor Ludington as follows:
A Northern steamer is just in. DR..
Nichols, of your city, and other passengers,
bring the terrible news that 470 dead
bodies have been found at Pestigo and vi
cinity, and it is thought that the loss of life
will reach 700. This is exclusive of the
east shore, where the loss of life is fearful.

THE MEETING LAST NIGHT

1t is with regret that we learn that the
meeting held last night, passed resolution
in favor of Col. CoIyar becoming capdi-
date for the Legislature. Should Col.
Colyar become a candidate it will produce
doubtless an exceedingly heated can
vass which may result in the
election of Radical. We feel it our duty
TO state and state plainly that those who are
in favor of a united Democracy cannot sup
port Col. Colyar at this time. He would not
be acceptable to the Democracy of the Legis-
lature, and therefore would be an unfortu-
nate representative for the interest which
his fiends {, ire him to advance. There
are other nel sound and true, who have
the interest of the mechanics as deeply at
heart as Col. Colyar, who can be elected
by united Democracy, and who viii
stand in such favor with the Democ-
racy of the Legislature as to be
enabled to promote the cause they are de-
sired to represent.
We speak plainly that there may be no
misunderstanding. If those who favor
disorganization of the Democracy desire to
test their strength, we shall regret it, but if
it must come we shall do ourduty. DEMO

apparent, the railroad authorities would not
allow them to come any further North.
Hence they retaliated by attempting a

THE NEW MOVEMENT.
What Is Said oft.


From the Nashville Correspondence of the
Knoxville Chronicle, Radical.
THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT
Has not created the sensation its authors
evidently anticipated. The straight-outs of
both parties laugh at it. The trouble is
there is large number of men in the Dem
Ocratic party who want some excuse for
joining the Republican party, and there are
a few Republicans who want some excuse
for turning Democrats; and these two
classes compose this Third party. The re-
suit will be that Democracy will lose great
many substantial men and gain very few
sOreheads. In short, the Third party is but
doorway from Democracy to Republican,
ism.
THE MILLENNIUM.
From the Memphis Ledger, Democratic
Did We not hear it F.? The bugle blast of
the millennium! Distinctly it comes from
Nashville. There is no mistake about it
this time. 1t is a real sound s:gnifying
something. Well, to explain: An assOcia-
ton, composed of men Of all parties, has
been formed at the capital of the State that
viii, if its principles and propositions can
attain ascendancy over the popular mind,
effectually dispose of rings, Tweeds,
Halls, Mmphys, Hodges, and everything
that posters the body polite Now the
body polite is i'll. 1t has been physicked
almost to death by the doctors. Some
humane persons propose to change the
treatment, restore its health, bring about a
harmonious state of things, and inaugurate
the gushing millennium.
1t is all right and proper in these people
at Nashville to resolve as they have; but
if they mean to form new party they will
find that they cannot succeed. The Dem
ocratic party is an honest party, and will
neither Oppress the people with bayOnetS
nor steal the money they pay into the treas
ury. If the Radicals who have gone into
this movement really desire reform, let
them join the Democratic party. Nobody
pretends that the party in power will reform
itself, or standing shOulder-deep in corrup-
ton, admit that it is corrupt. 1t is trifling
with common sense to appeal from all ex-
isting party organizations to a new one
to something that exists only in the brains
of enthusiasts. There is no chance for the
reformation of public administration that
does not exist in the Democratic party.
Out Of power, the sublinest virtue and the
lOftiest patriotism can accomplish nothing.
The friends of reform and honest admins
tratiOn want power. Let them work for
that. The millennium may be at hand,
but common sense will scarcely expect it
to break like another sun through the resO-
lutions We have quoted.
