GREETING AND CHEER.

We understand that letters are pouring in
upon Mr.. Lucas from every quarter of the
district, demanding that he shall stand firm
in the attitude which he las assumed. We
have seen some of these letters, written by
the first men in the State. We feel author
lied to say that Mr.. Lucas realizes the fact
that he bss<in his hands the honor of his
friends, who have made up the issue against
Fraud in our conventions, and selected him
as their champion. We feel authorized to
say that no earthly inducement, either of re-
ward or intimidation, shall prevail on Mr..
Lucas to betray SO high and sacred a trust
Fraud will be met at the threshold, and
crushed amidst its worshippors AS long as
its representative is in the field, he will be
challenged to meet.the fact that low, shall
low device of chicanery was attempted
against the masses of the Democracy of the
Second Congressional District.

OUR TABLE.

The following table has been prepared by
Capt. George Baylor. and the only fault We
have to find with it is the fact that it is too
liberal to Judge HOge. If a vote By coun-
ties had been taken. the; weakness of Judge
Hoge would have been. demonstrated, and
Preston and Taylor would not have been
driven from the CONVENTION. Hence the
fraudulent attempt to convert represents
two convention into mass meeting.

ForLYc0s,

Necessary to elect, (Pendleton being abb
sent,) oighty.two, 1t is, therefore, demon
strated that upon basis least liberal to Mr..
Lucas, he had clear majority of eight. IF
We suffer this majority to be overridden by the
bulldozing instrument of deliberate fraud,
there will never be held another fair conven-
ton in this district. We call tho honest
masses to the rescue

The poet Longiellow died at Cambridge,
near Boston, yesterday. He was the best
known Of all American poets, and no poet
living to-day, except Tennyson, is better
known TO the world of letters. He was born
in Portland, Maine, in 1907, graduated at
Bowdoin College in that State at IS, spent
some time in his fathers law Office, but
soon became professor ofmodern languages
in Bowdoin, and in that capacity travelled
abroad for several years. He afterwards
filed the same position Mt Harvard. He
made a second visit % Europe, and it was
followed by number Of TRANSACTIONS and
other literary work. Indeed his literary
work as writer began in college, and was
continued all his life. He has been a very
prolific writer and yet one Of rare merit.
Among his best known and most popular
compositions are the following The Psalm
Of Life, Excelsior, Evangeline, The Build.
ing Of the Ship, Resignation, The Golden
Legend, The Song Of Hiawatla, and the
Courtship Of Miles Standish. Among
these, the Song of Hiawatha is per
haps best known. 1t gave the author
great reputation in this country and in
Europe when it appeared in 1856. It a
poem founded on the scency, traditions,
characteristics, manners, uhi life Of the
aboriginal Indian tribes OF America, view
ed in their most poetic light, aud it has
been called Greek Homcric Odyssey OF
Indian Story. The tone OF all Of Longtel-
lows writings is as pure as that OF a silvc5
bell. He is the poet Of the model American
household. His birth days have been
commemorated in all lands. No spcck of
tarnish rests on his fair fame, and his works
will be read and admired as much by
posterity rs they have been by bis own gen
Grafton.
