Friend Howe. we do feel thankful for the

candor obliges US to say, that except as to
the Banrupt Monopoly, and Hard Times,
we are not entitled TO it, AS to the former,
we are consoled for our loss, when we see
our democratic reighbors enjoying it, who
are fed on such pap, and who really stand in
need of it; and as to the latter, we have been
SO belaboured by the hard times that we
have become hardened, and perfectly indiff-
erent to it. AS to the old coon,' we know

much less dead. This is not the first time

TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature of Tennessee. after bois-
ferrous session. has adjourned 1t would
have been well for the honor Of the State,
had it never convened. Throughout the
called session. they exhibited the same dog
ged adherence to party interest, bullyism. and
impracticable spirit. which might have been
expected from the immortal thirteen The
two great objects oftheir meeting. were the
election Of a T. S. Senator, and the laying
of Congressional Districts. Having incur
red all the opprobrium of the illegal and dis
orderly course, It was not to be expected that
the thirteen would yield the fruits oftheir
criminal conduct consequently. there was
no election Of Senators. In laying off Con-
gressioaal Districts. they seemed resolved to
brow-beat The wings. and force them to
yield up their rights by violence and obstin-
acy. Upon the very eve OF adjournment, a
bill was finally passed. by which the wings
give up two OF :heir members of Congress,
and the locos lose aone. Well have the
thirteen been called Immortal We hope
every newspaper will publish their conduct
until they are known throughout the Union
They richly merit immortality The NOR

HUMILIATING POSITION OF

Il must be mortifying reflection to the
bnnest locofocos Of Mississippi, that while
their party have openly and boastingly sad
died upon themselves the responsibility ol
repudiating our State Liabilities. their friends
abroad are compelled to clear their skirts OF
the foul stain, even by bursting the iiga-
ments which connect them together as
Marty. and dcnoulcing the course OF their
Mississippi brethren, as public robbery
Even locofocoism, whose ruling principle
is union, cohesion, at every expense, has
been driven to lop off one OF Its members
as 40 much contaminated, as to endanger the
safety of the whole When first broached

ton from every quarter; and it was aot un-
Ill reflected in the mirror Of party spirit, that
the monster which was so "hatedR when
first seen, lost its deformity, and received the
embrace of locofocoism. Wherever the
doctrine has been advanced, it has met with
,be same reception; and in the absence of a
stronger passion to mislead, must ev-
er remain under the curse of the moral law
a principle striking az the very root of rell-
gion' honesty, and even social existence.

What will the Tariff Profit the
Farmer.

A large number ofthe people OF this State
have been taught to believe, by certain
class of stump orators, that tariff OF duties
on foreign imports, which shall, at the same
time afford revenue to meet the expenses
of the Government, and sustain anu chei iSl
our manufactures, Is an instruiilant VI op-
preston, and intended to support the manu-
factures ofthe north. at the expense OF lhe
farming and planting States. Now as tap
pears to ms, no greater falIacy was ever at
tempted to be palmed upon an intelligent peo
pie. On this subject we ask the attention
of our readers particularly those who cul-
tivate the soil. to the following article from
the United States Gazette, IN which will be
found a clear and intelligent exposition OF
the effect of domestic manufactures upon the
interests of the farmer.-NashCalte Whag.

WHAT WILL THE TARIFF PRO
FIT THE FARMER

The opponents of the protective Policy
endeavor to excite the hostility OF Farmers
against it, BY representing that 1t IS intended
to coufer special favors upon the manufactu-
rers at their expense. and that 1t does moth
inc for them in return. This game was car
ried to considerable extent IN Ohio during
the late canvass there, and as the farmers had
not the sapacity to perceive the sophistry
by which they were led astray, it was crown,
ed with success. The Locofocos professed
to be the especial and peculiar friends OF the
farmer, and opposed to the protection OF
manufactures. Gould the farmers have un-
derstood their own interests and the operation
of the Tariff in promoting them, they would
have perceived that it was such law as
they needed to create home market 1or
their produce Who purchase the nour,
beef pork, butter. lard &C., which they nave
to dispose of2-Surely they cannot be Igno-
rant that it is consumed by those who are
engaged in other employments than farming.
Then the greater the number OF mec cnanics
and manufacturers employed 10 the United
States, the greater will be the number Of
mouths TO be supplied Dy the farmer. Equal

ANOTHER VETO.

The President has again the appreciation of
the democracy of the country by his Veto of the " lit
tie tariff bil.' lie signed the Land Distribution ct
in September with the express understanding of
friend and foe that he would not favor the dstribu
ton of the land money among the States when the
exigences of the Gov rnment required the duties
upon imports to be at hg rates than 20 per cent.
The Wing majority in Congress well knew that he
would not sign any bill of different character, and
they therefore framed their law with eXpr, IS re
ference to the views of the Executive in the pre-
misses.
Well knowing that the wants of the Government
required higher duties than ~ per cent, and deter
mined at the States should hive he land money at
all events the Wing majority apparently delayed
their action upon the tariff until just the moment
when the Compromise act of 1888 was to go into full
action TIL appear 10 have acted under the mis-
taken impression, that no duties could be collected
under the law of 1888, without further legislation ;
and to have determined, through the lnstrumentay
OF bill TO continue existing laws in force for
mon h. compel The Pr sidn 10 yield has opposition TO
the land distribution, when the duties above 20
per cent. or 20 without supplies for the Government,
from the supposed nsuticiency of the laws for the
collection OF revenue.
Their attempt to ''head Capt Ty err has been signal
y unsu ccessiuI They cannot force him from his posi-
ton, and they cannot stop the collection OF revenue ;
and more than ALL they are not to have the land mo-
ney. On III Cover ment goes, and will go, in spite
of their petty Vaccinations of mischief.
T. Veto is a cument of much ability and inge-
nously devised 1t throws the whole responsibility
upon the Wing ma orlty The President exposes the
impolicy OF giving away any portion of the public
funds when the Treasury is VIGOROUSLY deficient and
the public promises suffering under protest for
non-payment He tells them that duties at 20 per
cent viii not produce revenue sufficient for the eco
nomical support of the Government even with the
aid of the land money and that the wants of the
Government and the country demand such tariff
will raise adequate revenue. To such bill he
will be ready to give his approval as speedily as il
can be adopted IT, therefore, the advocates of in
creased duties do not get the benefits which they
look for from such augmentation, they must place
the responsibility of their disappointment, not with
the President, but with the Wing majority ip Con-
gress who manifest disposition to sacrifice every
other cons deratlon their determination have the
land money for the States. The principles Of the
Veto, and the manner in which they expressed
ii is believed will receive the unqualified approval
of the democracy of the country.
