GF~We earnestly hope if the party call
ing itself democratic is successful in the
pending Presidential contest, to see it as
sumo a more elevated and thorough demo-
cratic ground than il has ever yet occupied.
For our own part, we find no Justification for
the position the party has occupied lately
in most sections of the country on the sub
iect of the tariff, except the difficulty, in a
heated contest, of advancing and maintain
ing with any prospect of success, compare
lively new theories in opposition TO an exis-
ting policy, and particularly when that poll
CO is attended by a seeming prosperity. The
success of the democracy now will undoubt-
edly give a new impulse to liberality of sem
timent in our popular government, and I'M
der its influence we hope TO sec the advo-
Gates of free trade come out and take bold
and determined stand. There are enough
of them, and instead of any longer yielding
TO the preiudiccs of the mass, and by pam
dering to these prejudces, assist to entice the
mass to a still lower depth Of oppressive tax
alton, como out at the time which is prcpi-
tious, and pointing them TO the benefits of
free trade, secure the permanent establish
mcnt of the policy. True, we are satisfied
that the advocates Of free trade, may sit down
in perfect quietude, satisfied that as truth IS
always triumphant, their policy sooner or la
ter must be the policy of the country. Blu,
this is not the thing; the evil through which
the people would wade TO reach this point
by the teachings Of experience, would be
cheaply avoided by the untiring cxertion OF
free trade advocates, to so present the
simple and beautiful truth that it would be
at once embraced. How outrageous that
the democracy of this country in many Sec
tons should be found tho advocates of po-
Icy which is peculiarly whig-a policy SC
oppressive and fraught with so much evil,
that even the usually patient subjects of Eu-
ropean despotism are restless under it; but
it is even so. The election of Mr.. Polk
we confidently hope will move the party for.
ward on this subject, and hereafter our poll.
teal battles will in fact be for equal rights
against its opponent. If however our hopes
should be disappointed by the election oil
Clay, we can but sit patiently down, unit
through long years of suffering, if our nsti-
tutions survive the shock, the evil cures it.

only excited the curiosity and anxiety of

THE TEL.EGRAPH
SOUTHPORT, TUESDAY NOV. 5, 1871.

~ Under the management of the Super
ntendent, Mr.. c.. r. Alton, the work on the
Har5or is progressing as rapidly as the most
,rdent among us can desire. Every thing is
-eady for driving piles, and cribs arc be-
rng sunk. If Congress will deal with any
degree of lberalty by us at the next session
we shall have before the close of navigation
next year. as good a harbor as is on lake
Michigan. In the mean time our town gives
evidence of the rapid march we my expect
n view of the location and construction of
he public works. As well as we have done
heretofore, we believe Southport never wit
messed more stirring nor better times than
now. Every department of business is ac-
live-every body has his hands full and more
100, and what is still better, there is more
money paid out and in circulation than there
ever was before. Undoubtedly this is but
beginning of a prosperous state of things
which will long continue. AS rapidly as
Wisconsin is filing up and as prolific as is
her soil in cxportable products, her lake
ports must be onward in their growth and
progress. And Southport, from the very ma
ture of things, if she does not 60 higher, car
never be less than she is now, the seconc
town in the territory in size, population ant
general Importance.
