How is it that Richie speaks so mildly and
fatteringly of Dallas and Wilkins, and Dickerson,
those thorough going, up to the hub, friends of the
Tariff, and of improvements and enemies of the
very name Of State Rights7 Answer: They voted
for Van Buren,. Why do he and his correspon-
dents outrage decency itself, in speaking of Gov
ernors Miller, Moore, and Poindexter-these fast
and inioxibe friends of State Rights? Answer:
They have offended by voting against Van Buren,.
What is Van Buren, himself? A friend of the Tariff,
and the man who literally, by adrot movement
in the Senate, passed the Tariff of 1928. How
does the Enquirer reconcile support of this man.
with opposition to his "bl of abomnatons?'
This is of those beautiful dilemmas into
which the venerable Editors renowned penchant
for consistency, has often led him. Can he
really detest the Tariff much, and love Martin
Van Buren,, its father, we'll? Can he care in
his heart, for State Rights, and yet permit their
most fearless and efficient Champions to be igno.
miniousy abused for the exercise of Senatorial dis
erection in single point?
What is the moral of the whole7 That tho
clamor for prinepIc-for State Rights-against
the "Blll Of Abominatons"-is the mere instrument
of duping the multitude. That Office and power,
and moncy-arc the true objects sought for, and
that men used to gain these, and not to ad-
vance principle.
