THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
From the Plaiisb,ug Republican.


We this week redeem, with great pleasure, the
promise we made readers last week, and have, 10
our paper of to-day inserted at length the Presidents
Message touching the repeal Of Mr.. Clays land BILL
and the financial condition of the country. by all,
except noisy Wing parsans, II will be found 10 more
than justify all we said Of it last week IS your
street loafers no have permanent interest IN the
SOIL and are without character and employment, that
find fault with the eloquent and mastery views oil
the President, expressed in his Message.
The nation is bankrupt and the President urges up
on Congress the necessity of speedily adopting mea-
sures TO repIenish the Treasury In order TO pave
the way bring about this desirable object he pro-
poses with frankness and llberaity that does him
great credit that disastrous step, which is in our
power TO retrace, be retraced without deiay-that
the law distributing the receipts Of the public do
main among the States, be repealed, and the money
applied to discharge the existing and pressing hab-
ties of the Government
LIE, Congress repeal the land distribution bill and
restore the public domain To the General Government
10 whom il legilimatey belongs, and, as the Pres-
dent says the public credit will be instantly restored,
and loans be had at par TO any amount the Gov
eminent may want by pledging the public domain for
the payment Of the princil al and interest.
Another measure for replenishng the treasury, is
mmended by the President viz an increase OF the
tariff by revising the duties staple articles above 20
DER cent The manufacturers, and, in short, the
whole people oil the North have great occasion to
oce at this liberal and interesting feature in the Pre-
called fixed the rate Of duties Unfortunately upon
all at 20 per cent after the last of Decem
ber 1912. But the President, although a Southern
man, takes enlarged and statesmanike view the
subject and boldly and manfully recommends throw
inc the compromise act overheard and remodelling
The tariff AS To give discriminating duty upon
iron woolens, &c. The p, ople OF the South will
hounce al this recommendation Of the President; but
they must stand it-domesc manufactures must be
protected and encouraged IN this land OF democracy
the public good requires It,

In the present runous condition of our affairs, the
Democrats in both branches of the National Leglsa-

Democrats of this country are distinguished tor Their
iberaily and patriotism, and the only political

with safety IN times OF great difficulty and danger
We look to them the las, hope, and ask them 10
co operate with the President in repeating the land
bill, repenishing an empty Treasury and giving US
handsome increase OF duties, SO that the manuiac-
turers of our country may laugh and grow fat -
