lie voted against the present tariff in 1912,
but its beneficial effects upon the country
have been so manifest, that he cannot hon.
es,ly do otherwise now than lend his aid to
sustain it. This measure is gaining friends
every day, especially IN Virginia. where the
Wing party at their late election adopted i,
as a leading principle, and staked upon it
the issue of the battle winch resulted so
gioriously for them and the county. The
course now taken by Mr.. Rives shows that
the friends Of Mr.. M'kay's bill reckoned
without their host when they calculated upon
his support.

COURSE OF THE POLITICAL PARTY WITH
WITCH HE (Mr. MIITos BnowNl ACTS AMI
MISELF IS Wills THEY ARE THE AID
YOCAIES OF DISTRIBUTION AND A PRO-
TECT1vE TARIFF-MEAsURE WHICH I
CONSIDER RUINOUS To THE INTERESTS
OF u COUNTRY AND ESPECIALLY TO
THEINTERESTS OF THEPLANTING STATES
BOTH"
These extracts conclusively prove the hos
tiIiiy of Col. Polk to the protective policy,
which he considers " ruinous to the country,
especially to the planting States" That is
a sufficient argument with him. lie there
lore is now for " reducing the duties to the
rates under the compromise act, whcre the
Wing Congress tound them on the 3OM
June. 1912 )" and Gov. Polk himself shows
that " the tar On no imported article was to
e1ceed twenty per cent. upon its ualue after
the 3OM June, 1872" Then il is clearly
seen that he is for a HORIZONTAL TARIFF of
twenty per cent. with determinations (f any
made) below even that rate.
Coinciding as Col. Polk does in opinion
with Calhoun and the ultra anti-tariG. free
trade men Of the South in his views on the
tariff, it is not surprising that they should
have been willing to compromise on him, nor
is 1t at all astonishing to hear that Messrs.
Pickens and Elmore, the ministers plenipo-
tertiary from South Carolina to Baltimore,
although refusing to participate in the pro-
c~eedings of the Convention, yet, when the
nomination was made, rose up in the Con-
venlion and pledged tic vo,o of South Car
DINA for Col. Polk. And it now only re-
mains to be seen whether that large portion
of the Democratic party who believe in the
policy and propr'c,y of bestowing fair pro-
lection upon American industry, will consent
to be handed ouer without notice or consul
tation to the supported a observation-disclosures

POLK ON WOOL,

The Locofocos in this State have been
very clamorous on the subject Of wool, and
have charged the Wings with the design of
enriching the manufacturer at the expense
of the American wool-grower. To remedy
this evil, they have been to Baltimore, and
agreed to support a man for President
whose opinions are certainly unequivocal on
this sui ject. and if they come up to that
"incidental' protection which our opponents
talk so much about, Of course they will all
throw up their caps for Polk, and Wool.
But to the testimony. In 1888, Mr.. Polk
reported bill in the House of Representa-
tives to reduce the tariff, or in other words
to ID destroy its protective features. This re-
port was sustained by a long and artful speech
from which we extract the following, as par
l~icularly applicable to wool.
cit appears from this testimony that the duties up
on woollens (now fifty per cent may not only be re-
duced, but that Twenty-Five per cent ,eiH be a sufficient
protection, provided there be a corresponding REprc-
TIoN on the RAW MATERIAL, and the duty be fully
| and fairly collected and that the manufacturer OF
| cot,ons, and especially Of coarse cottons would lie
able to continue their business ~proftabiy at The reduc-
ed duty of,teeire andd haDp..r cent on the rival for
eign article" ,rt
entitled to credit, the third proposition, which is, that
The manufactures of The United States we're in a pros
porous condition under the act Of lsl6, and for he
eight years intervening between the years lsl6 afor-
ded them ample incidental protecti9n."
Observe, a " reduction on the raw mate
rial" (wool.) is to save the manufacturer
But what of the wool-grower' Listen, a
moment
"The wool growers consider the duty upon foreign
wool as important to their prosperity Ihts opin'
ion. 1 apprehend, is founded in error. Very little
wool of Inc middling qualify, such as we produce, is
Imported. The kinds chiefly imported are either the
coarse South American wool, costing eight cents and
under the pound, or the fine saxony wool, costing
more than a dollar the pound, neither OF trhich do ire
produce. or If we do, to a very limited extent
S.r" MY owS OPINION Is THAT WOOL SHOULD BE
DUTY TREE."tE
What say yc, men Of Vermont Is this
the shepherd Of your flock! this the pro-
lection that is to raise The price Of wool =
this the policy tina, is to relieve your embar-

" Yea" cries the Democrat, and "hurral

This is a curious result and puzzles all the politi.

On the 9th Balloi. you see the entire South voted

1t is said here that many of the Southern Delegates
were picked out as iavoral e to Van Buren, but that.

DOWN on Polk as a Southern and Texas man.

When the announcement was made in the street
numbers in The crowd called out "Polk-Polk-whe
the devil is Polk ~ Poke that in your eye"
The first vote that was given for Polk, you see
was by New Hampshire, and this was caused by
speech in which Gov. Hubbard led of in favor o
Polk, and cast the vote of the State Of New-Hamp
shire for him. This created great sensation, especi

then be abolished and the slave power in Gov.
