UPThe Democratic State Convention
meets at Jefferson City on Monday next,
for the purpose of nominating candidates
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Con-
gress, to appoint Delegates to their Nation
al Convention, candidates for Electors for
President and Vice President for the State,
&c. &c. So much business has hardly
ever come before. one convention in the
State, and taking into consideration the diff.
ferenccs of opinion existing among our
democratic friends on matters Of State
policy, and the great number of aspirants,
no little trouble may be expected. We
look for softening down on the part of
the Benton party; seeing that they can no
longer dictate or lead, we should not be
surprised if they quietly fall in and follow.
We can scarcely form any idea as TO
who will be the nominees of the CONVEX.
ton for the various offices, and as we shall
most probably be able to announce them
in our next, we will not deal in speculations
But be the nominees who they may, they
will doubtless be opposed by democratic
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ticket. Severa
independent candidates have already beer
announced, and many more spoken of; SC
many are named already, that we do no,
see how the anti,caucus men can agree
upon a ticket without convention. The
wings are "out of the ring"--but if they
take any part, it will doubtless be in favor
of the independents.

"Major JOSIAH Fisk has announced
himself an independent candidate for Con-

the western and southern parts of the

In the course of Mr.. Clay's reply TO the
Committee of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who
waited upon him at Mobile, and requested
him to visit that city, he said:
| look back, gentlemen, with conscien-
tious satisfaction to my agency in the pas
sage of the Compromise Law. The mo.
tlves which governed me on that occasion
have been so often publicly avowed, that
1t is not necessary now to repeat them.
A leading one, was the preservation of that
Union, which is at once the basis and
guarantee of all our rights, privileges and
liberties, as a nation of freemen. 1t was
then, as it had been long manifest to me,
that the spirit Of mutual concession and
compromise which presided at the birth of
our constitution, should be constantly borne
in mind during the administration of the
Government. With that spirit, extremes
are wholly incompatible. UItraism would
have prevented the formation of the Con
stltuton. as it may in process of time, en-
danger It's existence. Considering the great
variety of interests which abound in our
country, each part of it ought to reflect
that it cannot be gratified in all its wants
that other parts have also their Just claims
and expectations, and that the measures OF
government should be adopted to the re.
1conclcment Of the apparently conflicting
interests. Take the Tariff as an example.
According to one opinion held by re-.
spectacle portion Of our fellow citizens
there should be the most perfect freedom
of trade. According to the opposite opin.
ion, restrictions ought to be imposed TO
such an extent as to amount to absolute
prohibition. 1t is manifest that the exclu.
sive prevalence of either of these extreme
systems of policy, would be unsatisfactory
as am sure it would be injurious to the
country. What then ought to be done!
Can any thing be more reasonable than 10
adopt moderate, middle and stable course
of policy which shall minglc and partake
in some degree, Of the spirit of both those
opposite opinions. This desirable object
think will be accomplished by Tariff de.
irving all the revenue necessary TO the
economical administration of Government,
from foreign imports, and so adjusted, as
that by just and wise discrimination, &c
afford reasonable protection to American
interests. That great question settled or
the basis which l have suggested, ought tc
conducc TO the harmony, as am perfectly
persuaded that it would, TO the prospcrity
Of the whole country.

THE TARIFF-on no subject are Our

THE TARlFF.--On no subject are our
Loco friends more grdpelled than on that
of the Tariff. Their arguments consist Of
defamation and their facts Of theory
When they address the mechanics they find
all of them directly interested in a jndicions
tariff; if they turn to the merchants they
discover ninetenths of them fully alive to
the necessity and importance Of tariff;
and when they attempt to reason with the
farmers they soon come to know that they
feel the good effects of tariff, and are
more and more that way inclined every
year. Some Time ago. we remember, an
effort was made to show that articles of
consumption had become dearer since the
passage Of the Tariff. and one or two iso-
lated cases TO that effect were quoted. But
it would have been better to "let erpre SSiUe
silence muse the praise" of FREE TRADE, for,
forthwith, whole columns of statistics wei c
produced TO prove beyond doubt, that
the Tariff had actually leSSened the prices
of most articles used and consumed by us.
The fact undoubtedly is that the Tariff
Act of 1912 has increased the revenue of
the Government, improved the condition of
the manufacturers, tended TO enhance the
value Of agricultural produce, and gencr-
ally, revived in no small degree, the trade,
business, and prosperity of the country
We have this result in our own day, before
our own eyes, and to be seen by every man
in the nation, the fact is worth more than
all the speculations to the contrary that ev-
err emanated from the brightest intellect.
And we rejoice, in this connection, to
acopt and claim as our own doctrine, Gen.
Jackson's favorite, Judicious TARIFr.-
Yes! that's the world A JudiciouS Tariff
A Tariff, not ultra, exclusive, and oppres-
sive-but one judicious in its details, judi
cious in its operations, and judicious in It's
results. Where is the mechanic, merchant,
or farmer, who would not rather support
such system of blessing to his country,
than to advocate a '..tiee trade" which al
lows all the nations Of the werld to trade
at the expense of the United States, would
reduce our people to the level Of the labor
ers and serfs across the Atlantic, and make
this great Republic tributary in war and
peace TO every monarchy in Europe!-Al-

Gossrrs.--Men are curious bcings-and
so arc women. They will condemn and
ridiculc a person, for some supposed sin or
indiscrction, and go from neighbor to
neighbor TO whisper the affair. But the
moment you put in print what is in every
body's mouth, the universal cry is against
the press for giving currency to unpleasant
and perhaps untrue reports. We despisc
gossips-and if people do not wish to sec
how contemplate their stories appear in
print, they must be careful how they speak
and what stories they circulate. The best
course is to mind your own busincss--do
what you believe TO be your duty and
leave those TO talk who have nothing else
10 do, or whose minds are too grovelng TO
engage in any thing that is really profitable
to themselves or beneficial to their neigh.

1910; then they would not meet the wings
in public discussion, or if they did, an at
tempt was always made to break up in a
row. Every one recoIlects the course pur-
sued by them during that campaign. Seeing
that the wings are determined upon fair
fight this year, they have brought them
selves TO say they will meet them, accom-
panied, however, with grumblc, which,
taking the circumstances into considera-
ton, amounts to downright meanness.--

for rejection, we trust. 1t is true that, the
operation of the law being now suspended
by the effect of a clause in the last Tariff
law, its repeal would be of no present effect,

influence, to throw contempt and scorn
upon the right of the old States severally

which none but those who deny to the
original thirteen States the right of pro-

THE TARIFF BILL.-The National In.
telligencer says: 1--WE have stated TO our
readers our own opinion of the propable
fate of the Democratic" project intro
duced in the House of Representatives 10
overthrow the present protective and pro-
ductive Tariff, 1t is difficult for us to be-
lieve that any party would, to effect mere
party ends-for the sake, that is to say, of
aiding the cause of favor,c candidate
for the Presidency-destroy a system
working so bcneficially for both Govern
ment and people as the present Tariff of
duties on imports. This, we repeat, has
been and still is our opinion; but it is due
to fairness to say that there are others, pos
s;bly quite as well advised as ourselves,
who entertain different impression; and,
lest we might hull our readers into false
security on matter so important to all Of
them, we think it proper 10 state the fact.
Amongst those who think differently from
ourselves on the subject we perceive is the
able and astute correspondent of the Phil
adelphia North American. After stating
+he fact that "the bill is, with the single
exception Of iron, more anti-tartf than even
Mr.. McDurrIE's p!an," he remarks, in re.
gard to the probability of its passage, as
follows:
"The Southern Demo cracy-to whom
this cxtorted compliment is yielded as the
price of their continued adhesion to a can
didate they do not like--are not little con-
fident that the measure can be carried
Not being in the habit of deceiving anv
body, | am on no very unreserved terms
with some of them, and have known the
progress of their expectations during the
preparation of the plan They are per-
suaded that they have shaped a very skilful
bill, which their Northern allies must sup
port in good faith, so that it will easily pass
the House; while there will be q number
of Wing votes from the South which must
be given it, so that it will get through the
Senate also"
