Lots of Democrats were around ysster'

The Transparency which extends across
Marketstreet from Hibbsrd's establishment
containing on n s:ds Harrison and on
the other Protection" caught fire last
evening and burned, and as the two words
gradually burned away and went up IN
snOte, there was a great cheer from the
crowd. Everybody saw in the incident
an omen of tO.day's extermina'i IN of the
Republican party by the Democrats. Some
R,pablican lritd to save tie trsnspal 'cy
by throwing water oa it from a hose, but
il was too late. TIE party which that

GARD From Lawyer W. I'll. Hearne.
Mr.. Hearne is entitled to the space his
affidavit occupies. 1t is n Of the REGIS:
TER's rul S to permit a person to defend
himself, within proper limits, if he feels sg-
g1ieyed. 1t is the REGISTERS fairnes, to
friend and foe alike which giSe,it its great
popularity. Reading Mr.. Hearne's words,
as quoted by himfe.f, to-wit:
why should we, after clearing and cul-
tivating our lands, and building up indus
tries, aud making our county productive,
under the principles of protection, tesr
down and destroy the protection fence
about or domains, ard allow the free trade
cattle and swiCe Of England 20 d3vattIte
and destroy them?"
We are compelled 10 say that it would
be a difficult mater for his aud;e2ce to
know that hs meant "goodo'' AMI not hu-
man beings. The following is Mr.. HeaIns's
sfidayit:

in the second article, Why permit these

giving tie Inference that the said

Hearne deposes and says that the protested
qJotaticn is CARRIED, that he did rot say,
intend 20, nor liken the people of Eoglind.
France o. Germany to cattle or swine, Int
what he did say was intended to c)uv,y
and he. BIT lieye' was understood by the
audience as referring to importations of
goods made or products raised in those
countries, and that the language used by
the said Will an h. Hearne on that coca
sion DOES not warrant the inference ncr tie
construction placed upon it by the ssid
Wheeling Register, and that the language
was Substantial Y az follows: why should
we. nftsr clearing and %cultivaling our lands
