Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1845-02-19

dance to hear the speeches on the subject
When the time arrived yesterday to take
the vote, think | can safely say, there
were nearly one thousand persons in the
galleries. Senators Walker, Buchanan,
Woodbury. aud Ilenderson--possibIy oh.
ers were in the House, showing thereby
the great interest they felt for the success
OF this greatest Of oil great questions

for the measure.
On every trying and important occasion
for many years, New York has opposed
the South; and yet some of her politicians
profess great friendship for US.
The cursed tariff OF 1912 was fastened
on US by the vote of Silas Wright Last
spring modification of it was prevented
by the votes of New York members; and
now, on the most important question thai
has been before the country for quarter
of century, they vote with the British
party. Such conduct is objectionable; and
| am Of the opinion that the New York
members in voting as they did yesterday,
misrepresented the people-they were vo-
ting the sentiments Of politicians aud dis.
regarding the wishes of the people.
hope that every democrat that voted in the
negative yesterday, may be politically
damned by the people.

one Of labor without profit, il is unfair to
expect one man to keep il all tho time
