Or state should have such duty laid on it, a
:, TO enable our producers and weayers Il
undersell them in our own markets, anC

u European markets, which We can do for q
r. time, on account Of their present inability
a to supply them entirely. In the mean
: time the small protection which Factories

1t establishment of them; by these means we

that their competition will exclude US from
those abroad. One more remark, and we

OF our people now repudiate in respect TO

that ruinous and exploded doctrine lin ref

free trade. When this accomplishment
shall have been made, our Southern plant.
Fer will be compelled TO cease growing it,

homes, and bid them fly to heaven for re-

If this does not advocate the Tariff as
cardinal principle it is very near it.
WELL DONE CABARRUS.
1t is with some degree of pleasure we
insert the following proceedings of meet
ing held in Cabarrus county on the 26th
instant. We were afraid that apathy per-
yadcd the Wings of that County like our
own, and that we should have but one
County from this District represented IN
the Wing Convention on the ilh Of april,
but It is an agreeable surprise and confirms
the truth of the old adage " better late
than never" The general apathy which /
has pcrvaded the Wings for sometime is
now thrown of and the Wing Party will
arise in their might and confourd Loco
Foco.sm--this we infer from the spirit {
manifested in nearly every county, and we
say God speed the good work.
