thinks that from peculiar circumstances, the
people of the territory would not be able to
make the best selections of men to fill the
various Offices under state government.
He probably thinks with some others, that
the administration at Washington, and par
ticularly John Tyler, is much better quali-
ed to select officers for the people, than are
the people to select their own officers. Will
he be so good as to tell us, in this whole ter
ritory of a single office that would not, nine
chances to one, be better filled by the peo-
pie than it is now filled by the President.

SOUTHPORT, WIS. OCTOBER 81, :s43.
ELECTIONS.

General elections have recently been held
in Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, and Georgia, aud town elections in
Connecticut.
In Georgia, the wings have elected their
Governor, two members of Congress, Ito fill
vacancies,) and both branches of the Legis-
lature.
In Maryland, the Wings have carried the
election, and will have majority in both
branches of the legislature. In the whole
State however, the Democrats polled the most
votes. This result will give the wings a
United States Senator in Maryland.
In Ohio, the democrats have elected II
members of Congress, the wings g. In the
Senate, there is democratic majority of 4 !;
in the House wing majority of A. making
tic on joint ballot. The democratic victo.
ry is not SO complete in this state as we were
led to anticipate from the first returns. 1t
will be recollocted that this state gave Har-
rison majority of some twenty-fv thou
sand votes; there can be but little consola-
ton therefore. in this result, for the friends
of Henry Clay.
In Pennsylvania the democrats have elect
ed IL members of Congress, the wings ii.
The Senate stands about % democrats to
10 wings. The House has heavy demo-
cratic majority. The democratic canal COM
mss oners are said to be elected bv MILO
rity of from 10 to $4,000. A pretty thor
ough democratic victory.
We cannot give the exact result in New
Jersey, but the democratic victory has been
moro complete there than before for years.
OF Connecticut, the Hartford Times SAYS.
. The result of the town elections so far, is
highly gratifying. The returns come in bet
ter even than last fall, when the Democrats
had decided majority of them throughout
the State. Old Connecticut shows decided
democratic front"

A ncr Argument in farOr of Tariff

A ncr Argument in faror Of Tariff.
A prominent wing writes as follows: at
scarcely requires more than plain common
sense to know that chcapncss tempts peo-
pie to buy, and that when duties are low,
large amounts of goods arc imported which
must be paid for" This is decidedly the
greatest argument we have yet come across
on this question. Low duties make articles
chcap-chcapncss tempts people to buy
therefore to prevent people from buying, a
tariff must be levied to make things dear.
The logic of this is, that as things arc dear
and people can't buy, of cosrsc they will
keep their money and be proportionably be-
nefittcd. The only matter this profound
writer fails to explain IS, how under the Cir
cumstances the home manufa cturcr is ben
neftted, as protection making things dear
according to his own argument, prevents
people from buying.

OF The last Milwaukee Courier has
an article in which the editors claims to de-
mocracy are set forth at length, and the con-
sistcncy, i'll view of his professions, in sup
porting John Tyler, attempted to be shown
1t is amattcr more particularly between him
self and his readers. and there is but one
point in connection with it, to which we wish
TO allude. Like most others whose position
has made an expose of this character neccs-
sary, this editor contends that those who OPP
pose John Tyler, must of necessity turn their
backs upon some of the cardinal principles
of the democracy. We do not think so; the
leading principle OF democracy is honesty,
and whilst all democrats must and do sustain
the democratic acts of John Tyler, the pal
pable dishonesty of the man, renders the
support of him, impossible The distinction
is failed to be made between the man or
bis motives and his acts. where, in the opin-
ion of many, indeed most democrats, a mark
ed distinction exists. Whilst some of John
Tyler's acts come fully up TO the democratic
creed, others again are as fully wing in their
character; in fact his conduct in every de-
partment, since his accidental elevation, has
established the sole motive of the man to be
his OWN success in the coming election, and
his effort has been, by showing no particular
partialities for the men or principles of either
party, to curry favor with both. Honest,
chivalrous, and whole-souled democracy sees
nothing in all this worthy of support, howe
yer it may recommend itself to the Office
holders and their dependents, and the weak
and vascillating. No democrat, we take
it, disapproves of the vetos or any other de-
mocratic act of John Tyler. but we cannot
see on what ground man can be accused

Does the editor of the Milwaukee Courier
really expect TO Tighten bis readers on the
subject OF state government, by holding up
TO their view, the expenses of Michigan in
1888 and '36. How ridiculous the idea of
comparing the expenses of Michigan in that
season OF wild riot and extravaganza. with
the probable expenses of Wisconsin in the
present sober, steady and economical age.
In his discussions of the subject, in our opin-
ion, the editor would have gwen more
strength to his position, by cndcavorng bv
far and reasonable differences, to disprove
the estimate which he published, rather than
by the course he has taken in sneerinov
holding it up in comparison with the foolish
waste of money by Mich, gan.
Bat the general tone of the article makes
If apparent that with this editor the question
OF state government is but a matter of Sc
condary considcrat;on-m merely the thread on
which to string the beads of personal and
vlndictive feeling, aimed against some one
IN particular, and most every one in general
who Is at all favorable TO the project The
motives ofthc advocates of state government
are aspersed, and the slang which some have
always conveniently at hand is most literally
applied. But its aspcrsons can hive no force
nor can its Arguments, such as thew arc. eff
feet any thing in the matter of which it pur-
ports to treat.
In connection. will the editor reconcile his
assertion IN one place, that from the example
of other states, the people of Wisconsin have
become wise as to the men to be entrusted
with their affairs, and in another, that the
people are not yet able TO make the best Sc
lections of men for officers under state &C.
vernment; and VIII he not inform us too. as
Stunning his first asscstion TO be true, whetl-
cr this wisdom does not necessarily carry
with it an economical administration of 90
vcrnment, thereby doing away with the bug
bear he has held up in the expenses of Mi
chigan.

ed, according to The reports, with depIora-
BILE success. The savage tlibe of Kurds
were the auxlliaries of the Pasha in his al
troclous barbarities.
The house OF the wretched inhabitants
were fired, and they themselves hunted
down like wild beasts and exterminated.-
Neither sex nor age met with favor: the
mother, brothers and sisters of the patri.
arch were the objects of peculiar cruelty.
the former having been literally sawed i'm
two, and the latter most shockingly man
gled and mutia'ed. The patriarch himself
succeeded in effectng his escape, and has
taken refuge i'll the house Of the British
consular agent at Mosul. The number of
victims who have persisted IN this massa-
ere is no. yet Known. The population of
the mountains amounted to one hundred
thousand.
One account Of these prosecutions re-
marks:
:" The fate of the HISTORIANS is lament
able. Surrounded by Mussulmen hordes,
pent up for ages in their native fortres,es,
the very existence of these children Of the
primitive church had remained almost a
secret to the rest Of Chrisiendom. Happy

their obscurity seems 10 have been their
best protection. No sooner had their
country been explored by missionaries, and
the interest Of learned and scientific men
been awakened with respect TO them, than
this terrible visitation betell them, and the
public called upon 10 sympa,hize with
them in their destruction, before. perhaps,
1t had become generally aware of their ex-
is'cncc. Letters from abroad throw much Of
the odium ofthis sad affair upon the Europe
ans. 1t was the impruden, zeal of rival
missionaries that first excited the Jealous
apprehensions of the Pacha Of Mosul, and
caused him TO "let slip The dogs Of war"
on the unfortunate HISTORIANS. Ii is af-
frmed, even, that some of these gentle
men, with view Of preiudicng his mind
against the American missionaries, sugges-
ted to him that they were assisting the noun

nevertheless, brought an awful responsible
