From tie Richmond Inquirer, July 80.
The last letter from IL. Clay the Tariff. is
dated on tho 39th Juno, addressed to Mr. Cope of
Pittsburgh, in which he declares: 81 have every
whcre maintained that in adjusting u Tariff for
revenue determinations ought to be made for pro-
tocton; THAT THE TARIFF OF 1912 HAS OPERA
TED MOST BENEFICIaLLY, and that | AM UT
TERLY OPPOSED TO ITS REPEAL
These opinions wero announced by mo at public
meetings in Alabama, Georgia, Charleston in
South Carolina, North, Carolina, and in Vr-
ginia." Tho Coon presses claim to put him at is
sue with Mr.. Polk this ground, who declares,
1913, that 81 am opposed to the Tariff Act of
the last Congress" We admit tho issue, and
will battle on this ground for Polk against Clay.
Tho editor of tho Enquirer does not, however,
stake tho fortunes of his candidate this issue
alone. He has sozed an occasion to submit, in
more solemn form, Mr.. Folks claims to another
test, which tho wings we sure, will not de-
cline. In answer to invitation to Democrat
ic festival in Rockingham county, Virginia, tho
editor of the Enquirer sends letter of apology,
enclosing tho following toast:
sour CAUsE:-Let Polk Dallas and Texas be
the watchword and countersgn-and victory is
certain
Here arc two very good issues on which the
election is invokcd-s'anti-Tariff' and Texas"
Let the editor of tho Enquirer add two others,
which arc involved in tho contest, namely. the
'sSub- Treasury" anti-Distrbution'' of the pub
lie lands, and we are willing to 60 to trial.
We might say to the editor of the Enquirer
that he does not stale the Texas issue exactly ac-
cording to the most orthodox Southern standard.
In South Carolina tho issue is ''TExAs OR Dis
uNIoN.''-Nat. Int.

The Richmond Enquirer, whose party ortho-
doxy presume no Democrat North or South,
will dispute, repudiates tho spurious claim set up
for Mr.. Polk on the Tariff, that he is tho friend
of Protection, and thus frankly avows Mr.. Polk
antTariff principles. and boldly joins issue on

Suicide.-Rober, D. Fetuer, citizen

deceased was young man OF incorporate

the fatal idea Of putting an end to his own
existence, whilst in a stale Of partial in.
sanity, brought aboulby bis intemperance.
He was at one time an exemplary mem
ber of the Washington Total Abstinence
Society Of Columbia. but unfortunately
yielded to temptation, and returned 10 his
former dissipaled habits, and the conse-
quence has been ultimately and tragic
death by his own hand. When will the
unfortunate drunkard learn the undeniable
fact, that his only safely is ID. strict ad-
herence to the Pedge7 And when will
those who reville and ridicule our Society,
and treat lightly violation Of our pledge,
be induced to believe that their opposition
or ridicule, may have been the remote
cause of inducing this unfortunate young
man 10 leave the paths Of society and
temperance. and thus may have been the
means Of precipitating bic soul headiong
and unprepared. into the awful presence
of his offended God! Poor Fellow! We
knew him well, and solemuly believe, thai
he was sincere in his attempt at reforma.

LIBERATION OF O'CONNELL--
REYERSALOF THEJUDGEMENT.

Our American readers will not be less
surprised than were the inhabitants Of the
British Isles at the reversal, by the house
Lords, OF the judgement of the Irish Court
OF Queens Bench, the circumstances al
tending which have been as extraordinary
rs they were unlocked for. Few events
have caused greater excitement. Upon
the people, whose leader Mr.. O. Come is,
the effect has been astounding The pro-
ceedings connected with the monster trial,
from their first commencement to their
final close by the decision Of judicature
in The empire, will figure in the page Of
history as the most unfortunate in. their
results, ever instituted by Government.
This attempt TO vindicato what's called
the s'majesly ofihe law" is little calculated
10 inspire respectfor the public tribunals,
or. for the talents of those who figure in
them. The character ofthe conductors Of
this prosecution, and Of all connected with
i, has been compromised-damaged-de-
graded-by The bungling which marked
The beginning, and was kept up until the
end. The present Ministry owe no hing
to their law officers but odium. O'Con.
nor and O'Conneil have both triumphed
over them; the frs, IN England, the last in
Ireland. To cope with the leader of The
Char,is,s or the idol of the Repealers, is,
it seems, beyond their ability.
But if tile results personally discredilable
table to the chief actors, it is equally SO TO
lawlitself hich admits Of so many different
interpretations aud respecting which judges
law, lords, and lawyers Of high and low
degree are completely a, loggerheads. The
s.".glorious constitution of England" res
pecting which we hear so much. is an
enigma. Noone appears 10 comprehend
Its meaning, or TO read it Alright. Every
man is presumed by legal fiction to
know the law, while the eminent occu-
pants of the bench and the learned dis.
pensers of justice from the woolsack are
squabbliDg about It's import. Swift truly
says that lawis like a cobweb. which ar

pay The generality of our readers. Many of
them are planters and farmers, and the interests
ofall of them,a ARE identified with those Of the ag
ricultura class. Whatever therefore addresses
itself to the interest of the latter, must be of
general concernment. The Address of Judge
ONeal contains many excellent hints and sug-
geslions, from which the careful and pains.
taking farmer cannot fail to profit His re-:
marks about the mountain, and middle and
lower Districts Of our State, and the peculiar;
kinds of crops best adapted TO the various and
dissImiln soils Of each, are worthy of particu-
lar attention. Could our farmers be induced
to plant less cotton, particularly in the upper
country, and to plant grain crops on:the lnnds
which are so eminently suited for them. and.
where they would flourish most, what achange
in few years, would the face Of our country:

now worn out, and thrown aside by the farmer
would become most valuable andiproductiYe.
