we had received FOR a long time. When

MR. BENTON AND THE TARIFF.

Mr.. Benton in his recent speech on the
Tariff, took two positions, which seem not
to afford entire satisfaction to his friends.
The first is, that in any tariff law which
may b passed, incidental protection 10
American labor must not be lost sight of.
And he quote | would the public believe

ton, held in Philadelphia some years ago,
and those Of the States Of Virginia and
South Carolina, in 1929 and 1880, in ia,
vor Of incidental protection. High au,hori-
ties, il must be admitted. Mr.. Benton says
he stands on this doctrine now, as he has
always done and declares that it was the
old position prior to 1916, when the poll
ticians as he alleges, seized upon the ques
lion, to advance their own ambitious views.
The second position taken by Mr.. Benton
is, that the present Congress ought to let thu
Tariff alone. He takes the groand tina, il
is, can finally settle the question and he i.

Mr.. CLAY AT THE NORTH.

The following incident will show tn,
Wing feeling at the North:
A merchant from the Old North, the 9th,
er day in New York, had a box for Gov
Morehesd in bis charge, which he had
brought TO the wharf to be put on board the
vessel, just about to Get sail for Petersburg
The vessel was filled and crammed, and the
Captain, who WAS Locofoco, had declined
TO take any more goods on board. The
merchant directed the box 10 Gov. More.
heads address, hoping thereby, lha, the
Captain would take it; and directed the
porter who took it to the vessel to got il on,
board at all hazards. The porter presen>
ted the box for reception. The Captain
to receive it; said it was for one Of tho big
men of the country; that it contained Cla y
hat for Gov. Morehead; and , Id; ne wanted
il by the time NJ Clay reached Raleigh:
2s';,u II must 60 by that vessel. The Cap
tair was memorable for want Of room. A
Sailor hearing the conversation, stepped up
and said: "Captain, that box can have my
berth; its for Gov. Morehead, as good

Harry Clay; it takes my berth, and | sleep

THE PUBLIC LANDS.

In 1926 Mr.. Van Buren, said, "No mar
could render the country greater service
than he who should devise some plan b.,
which the United States might be relieved
from the ownership oflhis property" (he
Public lands) "by some equitable manner.
He believed that if these lands were dis>
posed Ct at once to the several STATES it
would be satisfac ry to all.
Ten years afterwards be took strong
ground against distribution, in letter to
Sherrod Williams. But sided in, as by a
glance of the axe, the following: sin respect
TO the Public Lands, need only observe,
that regard the Public domain a. trust
fund belonging to all the States, to be die
posed Of for their common btnefa. AM
pie authority for that purpose is conferred
upon Congress, by an express provision OF
of the Constitution" Now what does that
mean, coupled with strong anti distribution
matter! Why was it put there9 For two
reasons. First MIR. Van Buren, cannot
write a document like an honest man.
He must always fit il up so, that OF two OPP
posite opinions, it will support one as well
the other, and both as well as either. Sec
ondIy. 1t was put there TO cover a naked
inconsistency. He had few years before
written letter to his constituents contain.
ing these very words, He now ('hen) in.
serted in the letter to Sherrod Williams to
show that the same words made, him mar
vsIously oonsisten. though they were used
to supper, different sentiments altogether
II Van Buren, had been Of Aboriginal
blood, instead Of Dutch, we could al the ct
ymology Of his name as easy as sPeak. II
would then have meant forked.tongued
doubled. But what unprououncable dutch
of unspeakabIe lenth now heralds his origin
