Tic Whig Meeting at Madison Georg'a.-
Is it true that there is no longer any PATRIOTISM
IN the lard Is there no honesty, no conssten-
cy in public menl Has it come to ihls that our
politicians in subserviency to party tactics, are
bound to advocate to-day, measures, which they
denounced yeslerdayl We have been led to
these reflections, from hearing, that at this
meeting, Messrs. Preston and Thompson VINO
were leading NuHvfsrs in 1882, who by their
eloquent denunciations of the Tariff of thar
period. aroused our people to resistance, even
at the expense Of the Union, if needs be, OPEN
ly advocated in their public speeches the Tariff
of 1912. We confess that nothing has more
deeply impressed us with the conviction OF the
political degeneracy Of the times, than this iact'
The lesson deduced from it is that party is
stronger than principle, and somepuDlie men are
not 10 be trusted Unless the eyes of the South
ern people. and indeed ofall the people OF these
United States are speedily opened to The dan
gers which threaten US from This quarter, we
