Mass MEETINGs.-So numerous are
the mighty uprisings of the people that we
are obliged TO notice them, if at all, in the
fewest words possible. The glorious
year 1910 is eclipsed. That was an era
in the history OF the country; it first
taught the people their strength. and the
weakness of the demagogues and trading
politicians, when fairly met. These meet
ings had another most happy effect. which
will be continued and strengthened by the
meetings of the present year; we mean
the better acquaintance that was made be.
tween the people Of the North and the
South.-Many an old precious prejudice
has been extinguished by the people of
the North and the South meeting in coun-
ellis and adopting measures for the COM
mon good, and listening of the sound adj
vice and patriotic admonitions of eminent
statesmen from all quarters of the Union.
Differences has been harmonised, the con-
viction of an indemnity Of interests, views
and feelings has been formed, and thus
the Union has been strengthened. we
trust, beyond the power of its enemies to
break it asunder. --Sfafe Journal.

Coffee House, had been murdered and
robbed during the preceding night. The
facts, as sar as they have transpired are as
follows: A gentleman, a friend of the
deceased, who was in, the habit of fre-
tguently calling at his store, did so yesler-
day morning at towards 9. o,clock-not
finding the door open, he tried the lock,
and found it unfaslened. On entering the

EHaSCELLA ANEDUS.
TREATY WITH THE ZOLI We
REIN

1t is rumored that the treaty lately con-
cluded between the United States aud the
German Customs Union is to be rejected
by the Senate. This treaty, we collect
from The debates in the British Parliament,
is matter of exceeding anxiety TO the
British ministry. 1t provides for The ad-
mission, at very low rates, of tobacco, rice,
and hemp into the German Confederation;
and the United States, on their part, re-
ceive, at moderate fixed rates of duly. the
linens and cutlery Of Germany in return.
1t is impossible, so far as the South and
Southwest is concerned, that a treaty
could bemore just and advantageous; and
if the Government was administered at
all with view TO their interests and well
fare, it would undoubtedly pass. the Sen
ale.
The manufacturers have all along been
declaiming against free ,rade. as they
called it, on our side only. Let the ma
tons Of Europe put out our export on a
low footing of taxation, and then il will be
just 10 remit ours-but moi before, Well,
here is tn. very arransementthev desired.
There is mutual remission,of duties be-
tweenahe United States and thirty mil.
lions of people in Europe. Will they
consen,? They will not The truth is,
all their talk Of the duties of foreign ma
lions on American productions, was a
mere pre,ext to operate on the tobacco
planter, and the grain power, to hitch
Them to their nefarious policy. The to-
bacco planters had special agents appoint
ed aud sent out to Europe, 10 obtain the
remission Of duties on their product, on
The part of foreign nations, and TO enforce
the principle of reciprocal free, trade
They succeed. The duties are remitted,
and an immense markel,for their staple is
thrown open; butthe manufacturers, and
agents Of the manufacturers in the Senate,
step forward and say, this wontdo. We
are sorry you were such gulls as to believe
us. We will not, for your TOBACCO or any
thing else, allow any competiiionwith our
manufacturers. We-make no linens, il is
true, but we make cottons; and linens
N. 'ht be used instead Of cotlons: Let the
six hundred or ten thousand per cent. be
kept on your tobacco that is your loss.
We iuend 10 loose nothing, and risk moth
ing, for you. Don't you 60 for The pro-
lection of manufactures If you can'tsell
it abroad, why 50 much the better home
marker, you know-eat it yourself
The truth is, and il is useless 10 attempt
to disguise it, neither by treaties abroad,
by laws within, are the South any thing
but colonies. Their interests are control
led like that Of all colonies, by the interests
of the North; and TO be plundered abroad
and at home, seems to be the fate Of the
whole agricultural region Of tbecoun,ry.
This treaty has not been published by
the, Senate. Itis kept dark. The man
ufacturers intend, if possible, TO murder it
in silence. But murder will out, and SO
will this treaty, and j, will be another in
gredient in the Presidential cauldron,
which will add,swe trust, to the fierce in
dignalion of an oppressed and suffering
people.-Spectator.

mo time for Swapping Horses.-A
capitol story, although ii may be an old
one. was recently related at political
meeting in Philadelphia. 1t was told for
the purpose of making point against the
claims of one of the many candidates for

when robbed of its political leaning. An
Indiana man was travelling down the Ohio
