THE TARIFF-OPlNIONS OF THE
LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRACY.

We have extracted the opinions of the
Democratic aspirants to the Presidency
upon the subject of the Tariff, from then
letters 10 the Indiana Convention and
placed, them together for convenience, so
that all may read, compare, and know the
exact position fthe leaders Of the democ.
racy upon this alI-imporiant and all, alb
sorbing question. 1t was impossible, for
the attainment of the object desired to
give all the argument of Messrs Van Bu-
rem and Buchanan, but We think the ex-
tracts made clearly embody their opinions.
"The subject of protective tariff has
been so long and ably discussed, that it
would be useless for ME TO do more than TO
give you the result Of my views. think.
then, that the revenue Of the government
ought 10 be brought down to the lowest
point compatible with the performance of
its constitutional functions, and that in the
imposition of duties, necessary, with the
proceeds Of the public lands, to provide
this revenue, incidental protection should
be afforded TO such branches of American
industry as may require it'-Lsuis Cass
"On this subject cannot better present
to you my views than by copying fe W
sentences from my remarks, made in tbe
Senate of the United States on the 9th
August last, on tariff bill. They are fol.

Of the revenue to the expenditure: and
they also require that the expenditure

THE DEMOCRATIC CREED.

Nothing can be palmer than that the so
called Democratic party is fast resolving it.
self into great Slavery party. Its creed
may be summoned up as follows:-
We believe in the largest liberty compat-
ible with the existence of slavery
We believe in doing equal and exact JUS
tice to all men, except where slavery re-
quires us to do injustice.
We believe that no monopoly is right, ex-
cept the great Southern monopoly in the
blood and bones of human beings.
We believe in state sovereignty, except
when it conflicts with the claims of slavery.
We believe in the strict construction OF
the federal constitution, except when loose
construction is required TO secure the usur-
patton of slavery.
In word we believe that the STAKEHOLDER
is, ofright and in fact, the lord paramount
in this country, that his interest is above all
laws and constitutions, and that we ought
all to be the obedient servants of his will

"FATHER HAREn

GTMIoHAEL HARE, a Soldier of the Revolution,
and the oldest man the pension roll, died at
Union township Erie county, on the 4th ult at the
very advanced age of ZIG years He was honest,
brave and patriotic. -TriJunc.
Early on Christmas morning. 1919, man
about five feet IN height, glided noiselessly
into bar-room, in North Western Pennsyl
vania, and with assured, but modest effort,
sought to share the blessings of a rousing
fire, which cracked within a dense semi
circle Of sturdy Pennsylvania teamsters-
His progress in securing position in the
circle was slow and might have been una
yailng, but for the fact, that he jostIed tall
raw-boned fellow, who looked down on the
comparatively diminutive being at his side,
with sort Of chuckling laugh which seem
ed to sY-'Work away, my little man, it
will be long before you move Jim Benson
from his tracks, unless he wills to favor you ,
But this evidence of exultation was cvanes-
cent indeed for, scarcely had the giants
gaze fairly rested on the object of his scrn-
tiny, than blush of the deepest crimson
mantled his cheeks, as he exclaimed BOYS
give way for Father HareP The name OPP
Grated like magic. Not man but gave
way, leaving Father Hare the whole front
of the fire. Then followed greetings from
every one nor was there "a man in that COL
lection of hard exteriors, who did not evnce
deep interest in the comfort and convent
ence of "Father Hare" This unob:rusiye
and agile man on whom every body looked
with pride, and for whom all had a friendly
greeting, was Michael Hare, whose demise
is announced above. When we learned the
age of this veteran then said to be 93-we
could not but be surprised at the vvacity
Of his movements ; nor did fifteen years ac-
quaintance show any diminuton thereof
AT the time we first saw him, and onward,
till he was l04 years old, he thought nothing
Of a pedestrian excursion of forty or fifty
miles, which he would accomplish much
sooner than many hale men of not half his
years. The prime of his life was spent on
the frontier,-not only in the capacity of
soldier, but also of citizen pioneer. He
was man OF great cheerfulness-ofr remark
able equanimity of tempe in expedi-
ents, when surrounded by danger but of I'M
daunted courage when danger must be met
face to face Few men, in modern times
have numbered as many years as Michael
Hare; yet long as he tarried, he had the
satisfaction of knowing that he had not out
lived the regard ofthose by whom he was best
known, He was one of the few permitted
to come down to us from an ancient period
having lived through one-third of the time
from the discovery of the American CONT
nent to the present. May he rest in peace.
