the clause in the Federal Constitution referring

u If any of our readers are accustomed to
overlook our outside pages, the fault and loss are
their own. To-day, for instance, to say nothing
of Potts upon Wainwright, and our notices Of
Willis's Lady Jane for the poetic and Of
Moehler's Symbolism for the theoogic, we
have stirring appeal to Wings from VERMONT,
and sharp review Of Dr.. Dewey on Slavery by
Dr.. McCunc Smith, who being the son Of a
slave, thinks he ought to know much about
Slavery as a Doctor of Divinity. Should this
able essay lead to another controversy, ala
Church and Bishop, we back the colored gentle
man 10 any extent. We regret that we could
not make room for him before

You need not suppose for us, neighbor-you
always make bad work of it. The Protection
lists understand the value of Specie as well as
you do, and do not want large irnportations Of it.
But suppose we take our pay for whatever
balance may accrue to us in State Bonds. They
are now dog cheap in Europe-they will have to
be redeemed some time-and the repurchase Of what
are now held there will absorb all the balances in
our favor for ten years to come, under Protec-
tive Tariff After that will be time enough to
borrow trouble as to how Foreign Nations will
pay us for our products. This is great deal
better than to be worrying and sweating as to
how zoe shall pay them, which has been our
trouble heretofore.
The Journal cannot see any commerce but
that with Foreign Nations, and thence argues
that cur Trade fell off last year on account Of
the Tariff We look as well TO the Erie Canal,
The Lakes, the Mississippi and its branches, and
maintain that our Commerce was never more ex-
tensive or more prosperous than in l643. On
the same basis, we are confident it will be good
also in 1874, if the Tariff is let alone, as we
trust i. will be. But with greatly contracted
Currency and a consequent reduction OF all
Money Values, we are quite aware that the ag
grega,c value of Exports and Imports may be
diminished while the Exports and Imports them
selves are as considerable ever-whlch VIC

occasions, makes it great object 20 the particu-
lar locality which may be selected. Three Fairs
have been held at Syracuse, at Albany, and at
Rochester. The places which put in strong
claims for the next Fair were Buffalo, Utica and
Poughkcepse, You would have been surprised
at the unwonted degree Of feeling manifested on
this question to-day. The strife was not at all
times limited to the use of soltspoken phrases.
Some hard words were said. The West accused
the East Of desire to monopolze every thing
and more too, and the East scornfully threw back
the lmputations
The battle-ground was upon the appointment
of a committee to designate the place. The ad
vocates for Buffalo at length yielded their claims
