A WOLF IN SLEEPS CLOTHING

We publish the following statement, and
the accompanying letter, in the hope that
the william alluded TO may be secured, anG
brought to the punishment he SO richly de-
serves. a hcartless scoundrel who could
assume the clerical garb, and exhibit the
extraordinary zeal in the noble cause Of
temperance, for the purpose Of inSinuatin9
himself into the good graces of family for
the foul porpcse of destroying its peace,
should have a mark set upon his forehead,
by which all mankind should know and
avoid his pestiIential presence.
We hope the disclosure OF the in;quity
of this man, will cause orr citizens, who
have been so often deceived, to be more
cautious in examining into the character
of ilinerants teSore tlking them into theIR
confidence.
Il Daring EmpoSter.-The public, esPe'

qucsled to be on their guard against

We have reiterated the fact for fifteen
year, that protection was unnecessary in
our country, tlr that take it all in all, We
were able to manufacture as chcaply Is the
people as any other country. Wenccd not
repeat how stoutIy, and even angrly, these
assertions have been denied. We have
moreover not supposed when We said that
Americans could mluutactnrc rs chcapN,
that we stated the whole truth; for we
hive long supposed that more cheaply was
the real STATE ot the case. Truth lives when
error dies; AMI this great truth Of at least
The equal cheapness Of manufacturing in
This country, is becoming more and more
proven and acknowledged by the events Of
every year. We have met England sue
ccssiul,y in all the great markets Of the
world, and now we are proving our slpc-
rior power by even shipping our cotton
fabrics o. highlands self for her own sales;
and what shame it SIS tC American states
manshp and lIt crafty that these goods of
ours may be admitted into England upon
duty of ten per cent, while her good Of
similar character are excluded from the
United States by duty of from thirty to
one hundred per cent, with much crum-
bling into the bargain about paupcr labor
and the lberaiy of England. We hope an
other year will not find us in an attitude
SO injurious towards all agricultural, com.
merctaI, fishing, and we might ad !, MANI
| featuring interests of our oHn country, and
SO liberal towards all other culntrles.
These thoughts are sug-es cI by the FL

MIR. HALE:--I send for pub,ica,icn in
your paper an extract from the speech oil
r. Greg, Esq, which appcaro in the Man
chester (Eng) Guardian of the sth Decem-
Der, 1911. Mr., Greg presided at The great
meeting Of cotton manufacturers and others
interested, held at Manchester, on the IO;hI
of the same month, and is himself one o! the
largest cotton spinnecs in the woyld. I'm |
ptuyabic OF accomplishment as the preJic. !
lIon contained IN the following extract
seemed at the time it was spoken, ii has al. |
ready been fulfilled. Last week | noticcII
that a vessel cleared at this port for Lond m
with 400 bales Of drilling on board, which
are believed 10 be the first American cotton
fabrics sent to Great Britain.
All the statements made By Mr.. Gree are
believed TO be Correct. The self acting
rule 10 which he refers, has been iafrotuc.
ed, and viii, Doubtless, he adopted through.
out the country, particularly in the manu-.
iactlrc Of finc gods. In every Lcscrip ion
of cotton AMI wuo.len goods since Deem
her, 1871, there have been great reductions
in the cost Of manufacturing, and have no
doubt they will be still greater. Further
Improvements will be made in the prepa.

Mr.. Var Buren'S Letter to tie Indiana
State Convention. The last Ohio States
man contains Mr.. Van Buren's reply to the
Indiana Committee, who Intercepted the
Democratic candidates for the Presidency.
1t is a very able document, and not only re-
spouds fully to the questions Propounded,
but at The same time goes into detail on
some Of the great questions at issue be.
tween the two great parties INTO which the
country is divided. He is very elaborate
on tie veto and Bank questions. We
agree in all his views except thCs in
which he discloses bis tariff pnicy. We
are as much opposed 10 the abandon.
ment OF The great principles of equal rights
for the Lenetit of one set of privileges as
of another. We can recognize no dilTe.
renee between Il manufacturer of iron,
hemp, lead, salt, sugar, or bank notes; and
when the principles Of dissemination in ia
vor OF one class is adopted, the whole
brood Of swinders under the american
System must ultimately come in. We re.
greet exceedingly that Mr.. Van Buren,
should have vasiIated on one great princi.
pie which we nailed so boldly to our mast
head in 1910. 1t was our strongest point,
and if we abandon it now, we only weaken
ourselves, and render defeat more ipnom-
NOUS. There is one consolation, that all
the evils of a protective or discriminating
tariff will soon cure themselves. Instead
of increasing, they are diminishing the re-
venue, and forcing the purcst and best Of
all democratic measures--the resort 10 di.
riot taxation, for the support of Govern.
ment. Under the odIous tariff of last sum.
mer, for which Mr.. Wright, Mr.. Buchanan,
and few democrats voted, the revenue
has fallen off, and the Government is CO.
ing rapidly in debt for the means Of sim
Pile support,-this will force direct taxation
sooner or later, and the sooner we are
TO resort 10 ii the better. When
every man knows exactly how much it
cost him TO support the government, he
will be more particular in bringing public
servants TO account. Log rolling, cxtrava-
yance, sinecures aud all the schemes Of
:orrupting the public with their own mo-
ley will be abolished.

In suit recently tried before the Supe
rior Court of Ohio, verdict was rendered
against the Commercial Bank OF Cincin-
nali, requiring that Institution to pay to
Eunice Buckingham, Upwards of ten thou
sand dollars damages and interest on $50,
900 of its notes. The charter of that
Bank has the same provision Of the charter
Of our Kentucky Banks; compelling the
bank to pay interest and damages in case
OF refusal 10 redeem IFS notes when pre-
scented at the counter. in Gold and Silver.
The Commercial Bank suspended specie
payment in 1887, and this suit was brought
10 recover the damages provided in the
charter, and the Court very properly gave
verdict for the damages claimed. Here
in Kentucky, on the contrary, the Courts
refuse 10 make the banks Pny as required,
and the decision ofour Appellate Court in
the case Of Norton vs.. the Northern Bank,
astonished every body and convinced the
holders fnotes that the provisions Of their
charters could not be enforced in Ken
lucky. Subsequently the Legislature step
ped in and without any justification what
ever, released the banks from the liability
imposed by their charters. The truth is,
in Kentucky the banks govern everything
and do precisely ashley please .-Keatuchy

REPUDIATION.

We have thrown on the first side of this
paper, part ofan able letter on the sub
cct of reputation, from Franklin Smith,
Esq, of Madison county, Miss, to Carroll
Spence Esq, of Baltimore city, Mary land;
We shall continue to completion its publ
cation in our next weeks paper. The
letter of Mr.. Smith, addressed as it is, 10
a friend in Baltimore, contains some pas
sages not intended for the Mississippi read
err; but we will lay the whole of it before
our readers, as the looping oil of any por-
ton of it would in some degree mar tho
harmony of tho production. The views
which Mr. Smith takes in his letter, are in
many respects new, and all were calcula.
ted to arrest the public attention. 1t is
disquisition of singular merit, and will give
its author a high rank among the political
writers Of the State. The "Amerlcan
doctrine" -the doctrine of '9S and 800
that American Constitutions are superior
TO law, is felicitously introduced to sustain
the noble stand which Mississippi has Ia
ken in maintaining inviolate the bulwarks
OF the Con, tltution.

We publish to-day the speech Of Mr..
Clay delivered in the Senate in 1911, in
opposition to The Bank of the United STATES,
to which we invite the attention of all, and
especially of his admirers. Mr.. Clay was
democrat in those days, but unfortunatc.
ly, he became corrupted by the influence
of the bank, and allied his political for,
tunes with that institution, and has fallen
with it. Alas POOR Clay.
