lhwart US on the occasion which now presents
Itself, and which cannot fail to see thai The pre-
sent state Of party spirit in our country Is hsey'
unless the nation arouses itself, to be most pro-
pitious to It's designs.
The view which the Message presents oil the
fiscal condition of the Government, as well as OF
the currency OF the nation, WILDE the more salts
factory TO the People when il Is reflected thai
the whole efforts of that majority in the National
Legislature, which should have sustained Tie
Executive, were rather directed TO contriving
means for rendering odious TO the nation -
President without party" We doubt, indeed
whether their aid, upon the terms proiessed'
would have contributed TO produce a result quite
so gratifying. Ii National Bank could, IN the
same time, have produced as sound currency
as now exists, il would have done what IL failed
to do before under analogous circumstances
but more probably the very enort 10 10 u, "ou'u
have retarded the process Of sound ana
healthy restoration of the currency, would have
embarrassed the pursuits Of the Peop'e, cy the
abstraction of capital, and thus, for time 81
least, have still further impoverished both the
nation and the Government andye', alter ALL
have had only in view the renewal OF system
which experience has shown 10 be pregnant
with dangers, against which no safe guard has
ever yet been devised.
The conclusion Of the Message may seem
like an appeal Of the Executive to his acts, IN
answer TO The obloquy which has been heaped
upon him. But if so, il is fair and honest one,
and the tribunal of public opinion will not hest
tate to recognise every word Of il as unvar-
nished truth.

CONSISTENCY.

There is no quality of politician more
vigorously scrutinized than this, yet few
understand in what it really consists
There are often seeming variations with
out inconsistency. People seldom rehec
that a change of measures, may be NJ
change of principle. What the eAigen.
cies of the country may require at one
time, may be totally inexpedient at ano.
Their; and it may often happen that a con.
tlnued adherence to the same measure
would involve a sacrifice of principle. A
statesman might favor course of proce-
dure to-day, and reject it ten years hence,
in order to preserve the same principle
which determined his former course. To
illustrate this by an instance from differ.

ton ofpbysisans is held, lone advises that

THE BOND PAYERS.

It is supposed by many democrats, end
it is the secret hope of the wings, that the
bord. paying democrats will go over 10 the
latter. The suspicious of the one, are
groundless; the hopes of the other, vain
The bond payers agree with the wings up.
ON that one point alone, it constitutes no
radical difference between them and their
party. TO suppose that they will sacr.
fee all their other principles, 10 suppose
that they will discard all their old cherish
ed opinions, and become the advocates OF a
protective tariff, national bank, the dis
,ribution of the proceeds of the sales Of the
public lands, the abrogation of The veto
power, and all the measures of the notion
ais, is to suppose them capable OF degree
of weakness, or corruption, too Incredible
for belief The only ground of hope
which the wings can have for this deiec-
ton ofthe bondpayers, is the fact that In
1910, some few democrats on account oil
their connection with local banks, deserted
to theircamp. They now hope for SINH
lar perfidy on the part of the bond-payers.
In this expectation they will be grossly de-
ceived. In the northern part of the State,
where the bond.payers are the strongest
they have almost unanimously agreed TOT
support the democratic ticket. Bat if the
bond paying congressional ticket should be
elected it could do US no injury, for as to
all national matters they are Identical with
US in principle. 1t is true some OF them
have run counter to the great body OF the
party, and in this we think they have been
imprudenl; but as 10 going over to the
wings, the bond-payers never will, thy
know them too we'll.

"FREE TRADE-LOW DUTIES.

The changes have been rung upon these
words, as containing within themselves,
The very essence Of absurdity, contradic.
ton, paradox. Yet on reference to the
circumstances connected with them, every
one recognises their consistency at once.
The best Of all books has said "lhere is a
time for all things" Could this sentence
mean anything else than that there was
time for every proper thing? According
TO some of the wise men of this time, it
would mean there was u time for lying,
and stealing, and robbing, and in fact
for violating every preccpt of the deca.
logue. But who does not know, that
the divine record intended to sanction
no such universal latitude. If to
one, who was habiIuaIy intempc rate, a
physician, or a friend were 10 recon-
mend, abstinence and low diet, every one
would know to what the abstinence was 10
be applied. all would understand the mean
ing of the prescription, it would be too OBJ
vious to require explanation In the same
strain we could say to an obJector Of this
kind; "you are not free man,-you have
no right to assume the functions of any
once you please, although it may be your
wish,--you have no right to seize your
neighbor's property, although you may CO.
vet it,-you have no right to do violence to
your neighbor's person, although you may
very much wish it,-you have no right 10
SANDER your neighbours character, aItho'
you may desire it exceedingly; AWAY
then, with all this idle talk of being free.
Cut off from all these important rights, you
are no longer free" Such objections as
this, would be about as practical, and as
near allied to common sense, as the one
above mentioned. Yet singular to say,
there are some, who cannot comprehend
the meaning Of "free trade-low duties"
In some circumstances we might suppose
this ignorance feigned, but exercising a
liberal charity, we must attribute it to want
of information. for those who candidly |
make the objection, have probably only
lately learned 10 read, otherwise they would |
have known, that the politicians and politi-
cal economists of the United States look |
upon free trade as the opposite policy TO
protection, and that It by no means con-
templates the abolition oil tariff for rev.
enue purposes. The advocates of free
trade contend for tariff on imports, SUI
fcient for the wants of the government,
after that, for trade unrestricted by pro-
lection or discrimination for protection.-
Many phrases in common use, are always
to be taken with reference 10 ideas under.
stood, and those who look for substance
instead of sound will always find the mea-
ming.
As TO whether governmental means
shall hereafter be procured by duties on
imports, or by direct taxation, it is ques-
ton not now before the American people.
1t has no present connexion with the theo-
ny of free trade. If the people of the
United States should adopt the system of
free trade with a revenue tariff, they may
hereafter extend il 10 the entire abro-
cation Of all commercial restrictions,

The Natchez Courier, in noticing the
change in the editorial department of our
paper, has said that we advocated the de-
trines of Modification and regulations 1t
is true we were once nuliiticr, and on
proper, and like occasion would be again.
As matter of abstract and private opin-
ion, we have not abandoned the doctrine;
we would consler the man who would &c.
sert is colors, as worse than the "basc
Iudean," and in the ''lowest depths" of
contempt, there is slower deep" for
him. Yet we said nothing about advocat.
ing the doctrine, as there is now no occa
sion for It's exercise. We wish, and in.
tent, to shape our own course, and select
our own objects of advocacy. : Neither
have we sail nything a b,ut advocating re-
pudIation; we have repeatedly disclaimcd
Tor the present, any connection with eth.
er SIDE OF that question, as our paper was
intended for another purpose. We there.
fore do not clam to belong to any of the
families, of regulators. We have not
practi ed the reputation Of our own pri.
vate debts, and have not advocated the re-
pudiation Of public ones.
