The great depression or storm area that
now extends over the territories of the
United States and Canada, from Texas to
the mouth of the St. Lawrence, presents
many unusual and interesting features.
Its advance from the regions beyond the
Rocky Mountains has been duly announced
in the HERALD in the issues Of Wednesday,
Thursday and yesterday, with cautionary re-
marks on its probable effects. These have
been justified by the proportions assumed
by the storm, the violent winds. it has de-
veloped, and the subdivision of the main
area which we predicted would occur when
it reached the vicinity of the Allegheny
Mountains. The area of low baron eter that
crossed the Rocky Mountains near the
northern national boundary moved quite
rapidly across the upper lakes to Lower
Canada and New Brunswick, where it
now is, and has caused but a slight
disturbance Of the weather in the regions
southward Of its margin. But that which
has crossed the mountains via New Mexico
and Texas, and passed into the Mississippi
Valley, has developed into a storm of great
proportions, attended by heavy rains, vio-
low area moved eastward into Georgia it
commenced it's northeastward direction and
was divided into two sections by
the Allegheny range. The easterly
winds. blowing toward the coast de-
preston were diverted enthusiastically
and southerly by the mountains,
and thus an independent vortex. was de-
veloped which formed storm centre within
the main storm area entirely distinct from
the storm centre in the Ohio Valley. The
barometer having risen rapidly in the
meantime in Manitoba the indraught winds
from the north and northeast Of the Ohio
Valley storm have increased to the force
of gales in the lake region, and the falling
temperature has changed the rain to snow
on the northwestern margin of the depres-
sion. There are now three centres Of low
barometer north of Tennessee, including that
in Lower Canada. Still another is moving
eastward from Texas, where the pressure
has fallen again very sharply. Tempera-
lures are high in all the districts except
west of the Mississippi and the lakes. The
destructive tornado in Georgia, described
in our dispatches this morning, was prob
ably caused by the marked difference that
existed between the temperature of the
vicinity of Augusta and that of the districts
southwark and westward along the Gulf
coast. The independent vortex east of the
Allegheny Mountains was in progress Of
development at the time the tornado struck
Augusta, and may have contributed to its
cause. In New York and it's vicinity to-
day it will be warm and cloudy, with rain,
followed toward night by light snow pre-
ceding clearing and cooler weather and
rising westerly to northwesterly winds.
Tomorrow it will be partly cloudy and
colder, with strong winds from the north
west.

cendiary demonstrations the moment
they take an aggressive character, and
our recent experiences have shown that
incendiary language only serves as sort OF
safety valve to let off superfuous excitement
and is laughed at by those to whom it is ad-
dressed. The laboring classes of the United
States, under the influence of general educa-
ton, a cheap press and the active share and
interest of the people in political rule, cam
not be worked up, excited and misled like
the ignorant rabble of European coun-
tries. Our safety lies in the sound common
sense OF the American people, and such laws
as that proposed by Mr.. Fish, where they
are not necessary to the public safety, are
always Objectionable. If such an act should
be placed on the statute book Of the State
it is not difficult to foresee the abuses to
which it might readily lead.

IL Is also well-knOwn that the con-
vention held in Ohio county was COM
posel largely. Of Republicans and
others who have, throughout this
whole race, undertaken TO control the
Democracy in the choice of a candi-
date.-IlendersOn Reporter.
Whatever our private notions and
convictions may be, we believe that
both the candidates and all their warm
friends and advocates will agree that
we have not been biased partisan in
this contest. We believe in telling
the truth if it shame the devil. We
are well acquainted in this county and
WAS Secretary of the meeting, and saw
no Republicans participating in it; nor
do We believe that a single Republican
took any part. A few Republicans
were around as spectators, as is always
she case in Conventional few specta-
tors from the opposite party are apt TO
put in an appearance with a view TO
be posted, SO as to pick a flaw. Prob
ably a few Greenback Democrats, who
voted in the recent election for the
Greenback ticket, in whole or in part,
we're present and participated. but We
are not certain that such was the case.
This county was and is for Mckenzie
in the proportion of about five to one /;
and there are good reasons for it. Mr..
Mckenzie canvassed the county
two years ago, and made many warm
personal friends, and is well acquaint-
ed, while Mr.. Clay is not known TO
enc in fifteen Of the voters Of the coun-
ty; in fact not one in twenty have ev-
er seen him. He made an excellent
impression ON those he met and those
who heard him speak, aud if he had
canvassed the county he would no doubt
have had larger following; but still
the county, in any event, would have,
in our opinion, been decidedly for Nc
Kenzie. We regret the efforts being
made to detract aud underestimate the
character and capacity of either of
the gentlemen by the friends of the
ether. 1t can but result in harm TO
the Democratic party of the district.
Let's tOat fair.

changes of the seasons, all depended
upon the success Of their special can
didste. We regard the success of the
Democratic party in this district as
paramount to the success of either
Clay, Mckenzie, or any other man.
Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Mckenzie, are able
men and either would make a fair, safe
representative, but neither of them are
so important as to be worth the des-
lruction and disruption Of the Demo-
cratic party in this district. We have
at least 40 other men in the district
equally as able and worthy as either of
the gentlemen. All true Democrats
will be in favor of the candidate who
gets a majority of the votes of the dis
trict, and if a misunderstanding arises
so that we can not agree, lets not get
in a broil, but drop both OF the gentle
men, and get new man that will be
satisfactory to at least a majority.
Mark our prediction now. The con.
ventiOn can not afford to act unfair,
and neither of the gentlemen can az
ford to accept the nomination tainted
with the least bit of fraud or unfair
ness. His title to it must be clearas the
MONDAY sun, or defeat to himself and
the Democracy awaits us. The course
of the papers referred to, nggravates
and leads into just such state of affairs
as we are warning our readers against.
Let these editors pattern after the high
and manly course pursued by the Ow-
ensboro papers, who, right in the
midst of the community where the ex-
element has run highest, have never
given utrerance to an undignifed
thrust at either of the candidates.
1t IS a matter of vital Importance to
the country and to the Democratic
party to secure a majority in the next
Lower House of Congress, and it is
uncertain yet whether we will do so or
not, and most certainly if a few more

for which we shall labor and shall act
so as to give our labors as much infu-
ence as possible. We will hold our

The New Era calls upon the Demo-
erats of Christian county to make a
note of the course Of the Hon. Henry
ID. McHenry for his action in the
meeting held in our county to elect
and instruct delegates to the Congress
sisnal Convention in this district, and
charges Mr.. MeHenry with violating
''commonright and justice, " in making
s-mOtiOn in the meeting that the dele
gates from the county should be in
sructed to give each candidate his rel
alive strength in the district eonven-
ton. The truth is that would be the
fair thing to do, and should be the
course of every county. 1t is the only
way a convention can truly represent
the wishes of the people, but it would
not he fair for minority 10 have a
representation in one county and not
in the Others; but right at the time
that Mr.. McHeury made this move
there were men on the grounds from
Davies county claiming that Davies
had not gone for Clay, but that Mr..
Mckenzie was entitled to, and would
contend for a part Of tina vote of Da-
viess county, and, If We are not mistak-
en-, Mr.. McKensie, while here on the
day Of our convention, said so much,
both pubhcly and privately, and We
now predict that the over Jealous
friends Of Mr.. Mex. will contend for
a portion of the vote Of Davies county
IN the Greenville convention.
Then where is the consistency of
sueh men eOndemning Mr.. McHenry
for asking for the very same thing in
Ohio county. that Mr.. Mckenzie and
his friends claim in Davies. Mr..
McHenry has always advocated this
rule, and in our meeting his motion
was advocated and voted for by gen.
tlemen who were friends of Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, and in nearly all the counties
in the eighth congressional district that
rule was adopted, and has fire.
quently been adopted in this district
and in the State conventions. 1t is
strange that any man should contend
that it is unfair or unjust to give a
candidate representation according TO
bis sOtaal strength before the people,
and IL Is the wire workers and political
ricksters who manage to cast the en-
tire vote Of county against a candi-
date when perhaps there is but small
majority in the county against him.
Mr.. McHenry is known to be a
fur man in politics, and an evidence
Of it ia, at our first convention, when
it was perfectly plain that his brother,
Col John II. McHenry. would get the
endorsement by a decided majority,
and the Mckenzie men complained of
want Of due notice and asked for a post
poaement, H. D. McHenry was the
