1912, in a communication published in the

''Of the fate of the Wings should they put
Mr.. Clay forward, let the recent events in
twenty of the twenty-s.ix states tell, The
very suspicion that he is to be the candidate
joined to the knowledge of his movements
in the last Congress, and his conduct during
his retirement, has been sufficient to change
triumphant majority in twenty states, into
well-beaten Clay minority. In 1914, the

o. We regret TO notice the effort on the
part of many democratic papers throughout
the Union, 10 make Mr.. Polk as good ia
riff man as Mr.. Clay. We are 10th TO be-
lieve that such is the fact, for we have con-
sidered Mr.. Polk as entertaining much more
enlightened liberal and statesmanlike views
on this subject, than we find in the narrow,
Liberal and partial course, mainly, of MIR.
Clay; and we have considered too that the
democratic party were at least step in adj
vance of their opponents in this particular.
If the democrats who endeayor to make Mr..
Polk protectionist, are honest in it, we say
Heaven help their democracy; if not honest,
we say, Heaven help their policy, for it can
be productive of no good. We can win, in
fair and open fight, and when successful,
we shall know where we stand, and what the
people want. And we cannot win, we had
better stand boldly to our principles, for as
they are the principles of truth, they will
eventually prevail, and when they do, we
shall enter at once upon their benefits, which
by timid and halfway advocacy of them
we should probably never do. Oar own OPT
MON is, that free trade-the opening of our
ports to the commerce of the worlI-is the
true democratic ground, but if such are not
the views of the party, we hope at worst,
they will advocate only, the lightest possible
revenue tariff.

How the human mind can conceive the
ridiculous absurdities which sometimes pos
sess it, is mystery to us. In his late AL
bany speech, Benien of Georgia said: '.En
gland leyies upon our productions, taking
cotton out of the list, an average tax Of $50
per cent, on every thing we sell her; and
vet we have some among MS who say that
we ought not to levy higher tax on any Of
her productions, than 20 per cent. ad ralo-
rem duty" What have we here? England
levies tax of $50 per cent, on every thing
we sell her. Who pays it? Let her starving
population who are ground to the earth to
get money enough TO buy the taxed food,
answer. England grinds her population 10
the earth TO collect an exhorbitant tariff, 20
support her aristocratic government; there
fore, it becomes matter of policy, exped-
encN and every thing else, with us TO do
the same thing, and collect tariff of $50
per cent on every thing brought here by En-
gland. But, says the tarffite, it is not the
people of England who pay the tariff, but the
American who takes his goods there. Most
admirable legician. The American takes
his goods there, pays a tariff of $50 per CT.
and then sells them for their intrinsic worth,
being $50 per ct. less than nothing. Most
cute and sagacious yankee, how the Queens
subjects have been cheating you. Were it
not for the wooden nutmegs, the Eastwood
pumpkin seeds, the white-oak hams. and
other etcetcras of kindred character. Jon
athan would be vastly the loser. How plain
it is. that the tariff of nation falls upon the
consumer of the article imported; and such
being the case, that one nation Expresses its
subjects with heavy tariff, is certainly no
argument in favor of another nations doiDo
the same thing,

Gle by the editor noticing the exploits Of
trolting horses, and observing tina, no horse
has ever yet been known 10 trot twenty
miles within the hour, but il was thought SO
many improvements had been made by
breeding, training, &C., that it was deemed
probable it might be done.
So great is the risk Of injuring the horse

will be wilingto let their horses attemp, it.
without great inducements are offered. Al

WISCONSIN FRUIT-Those in our terri
tory who early turned their attention TO the
raising of fruit, are already reaping the re-
ward of their enterprise and industry. We
alluded, last week to the splendid peaches
raised on the farm of MIR. ii. G.. Winsor of
Spring Brook; we have since seen some
equally fine, picked from tree of four years
growth, on the farm of Mr.. J. l.. V. Yates,
of this town. Mr.. Y. has number of thrift
ty trees, which promise in another year an
abundant yield. From the garden of Mr.
Rowland of this town, we were presented
with couple Of plums, of the green gage
species, which were rarities in the matter of
SIZE and flavor. Mr.. H., we have noticed,
has variety of choice fruit growing on his
premises.
From what we have seen, we believe
Wisconsin, or at least the southern part of
it, as well adapted to the raising of fruit of
almost every variety, as any other portion of
the Union. We hope then, in few years
to find her soil yielding an abundance.

COMPARISON OF THE NASHVILLE AND
ALBANY CoNvENTroN.-The wing papers
OF this city claim ten dreres Of freemep ia
council at their mass meeting on the 9th.
The democratic papers, with probably full
as much reason, claim FIFTY ACRES OF
FREEMEN IN ATTENDANCE at the great
Nashville gathering. And what is re-
markable, the democratic convention CON
tnued for three days, and embraced largo
delegations, not frome one st,te, but from
Sir States, and 5000 democrats in uniform
volunteer corps, added beauty and i'm
presslveness to this vast assemblge of the
people. Albany has a population OF 81,
O0O, and Nashville Of only 5000. A con-
sideration Of this circumstance will enable
one to appreciate the relative distances
from which the masses came, who gathered
at Albany and at Nashville.
