triends at the conclusion of the speech,
"damn'd il epn stand the Briscoe bill after
that Speech and we have no doubt that he
will cause many more deluded patriots to
make the same remark before the canvass is
ended.
The TariEC-the Democrat.
We must ask the indulgence of our read
ers again obtruding upon them another
article upon the well settled question Of the
tariff. We should not do so had not the
Democrat Of last week accused US Of per-
versions, AMI attempting 10 deceive in the
opinioes Of distinguished mon, upon the
thrift, whchwe published in our paper few
weeks since. We consider it a duty we
owe to ourselves, TO our readers, and to the
doctrine we advocated, 10 cloar ourselves Of
this charge, which We shall do in as few
words as possible
The Democrat first takes up quotatio on
Of ours, from Washington, which he saws is
garbled and perverted one, and he
giyesa true quotation as he says, from the
writings Of Washington 10 prove it. We
will place The opinion Of Washington as VI
gaveit, and his opinion as the Democrt II
gave it in juxtaposition, and let our readdrs
decide whether we have perverted his opihs
ion;
! George Washington, in his Message July,
Canuarys, 1890, says:
"Tbe safety and interest Of the people
require that they shall Trotect such mans
fdctures as tend to render them independ-
eni for essentials ~ Yazoo City Wing.
George Washington, in his Message, jan
Euary, s, 1880, says:
ga free people ought not only TO be arms
cd but deciplined; 10 which end uniform
and we'll digested plan is requisite; and iheil
safety and interest require that they should
promote such mauufactofies as tend to rem.
der them independent on others for essen
tioIs, particularly military supplies. - YasOe
Democrat.
But read the commentary Of the Demo-
crat upon the language Of Washington
He says, by reference to bis words as we
have given them, il will be seen that he
advised such preparations ALONE as Wert
necessary for military supplies" in case on
country should be hurried into war unpre
pared" Is not that a gross perversion o
the meaning Of Washington : To prove
that it is, in the same message he says: e
cannot fofbear Initiating TO the expedienc.
of giving cfectuaI encouragement, as vel
to the introduction ofnew and useful inven
tons from abroad, as To the erertiOas Of skill
and genius in producing them at home"
Again: lie takes up an extract Of our
from Washington's message, Dec. 1895, b!
which he says we sought to mislead and de
ceive. Now the quotation, as the Demo
crat gives il, not only corroborates our state
: ment, but goes further and proves that WASH
ington recommended the manufacture {
!, military supplies upon public account. TIL
+ goes little beyond what we contended fol
for we believe, as did Washington, tina
" manufactures upon the public accoun
are, as a general rule, inexpedient.' y TIL
Democrat seems not 10 understand the mes
e ming Of the words '.pubIic account" and tbi
+ ignorance may excuse him for insinuatin
that Washington considered all manufaC
i lures 'incxpedient, as be does in hisFemarh
!. upon the quotation. But TO retoTt h
b Democrats charge upon himself and faste
il upon him, that he has s.so0ght TO misiea
and deceive, we would refer our readers
Washington's address to The Delaware Soc
ciety for promoting Domestic Manufacture
April, 1850, in which be says, that 9Th
prOmotioa Of domestic manufactures, vi
! in my conception; be among the FIRST col
n sequences which may naturally be expecte
to flow from an energetic government" III
Democrat takes DIP our quotation from Je
ferson and gives longer one, which I

g public to say whether 81 no. The quotatis
