FOREIGN COMMERCIAL NEWS.


Every successive arrvalffrom Europe
indcates more and more clearly the I'M
manse gain, which is to result 10 the bus-
ness Of he country from the repeal of the
odjous and oppressive tariff Of l842.-
There is great demand in England and
on the continent for our agricultural sta
pies. The last commercial INTEL gence, as
we give It in another column, shows that
tbs demand is increasing. AS a conse-
quence, lreights and prices here at once
90 up. Why is thisl There have been
poor crops before in England and ireland,
and on the continent, and these have gen.
orally hitherto produced comprivatcly but
Slight effects upon American prices. But
now the American gran-market instantly
feels tie beneficial influence of the En-
glish demand.
The explanation of this is obvious
Both England and the United States have
taken ct the legislative restrictions upon
their trade, and thus foreign nations are
enl5i, d to become cur customers in the
food market. Thay ere sending us orders
Tor grain and provisions, because their own
croPs--esPec ally the potatoe crop-heve
failed, and they see that under the tariff Of
1916, we can receive their manufactures
in payment.
The veal h thus gained to our immense
agricultural population throughout the land
by the Increased price ofthe products Of
the sail, can be estimated only in millions
of do.iaIs Every man wht raises a bush
Ell Of wheat. or rye, or corn. hasSreason 10
be thankful 'or the tariff Of 1916, and for
the decided improvement in the foreign
ket
How srkingly does this state of things
refute the Wig pretence that the home mar
hct is, and must be, with US the regulator
Of prices and the absorbent Of our agrcnl-
;uraI surplus! How often has it been
proved that any home market which can
be created IN tbs country. (by the manu-
lactuGeIs alone, must be always and alto
gether inadequate to consume even a trihe
Of our teemng agricultural produciions?-
Yet in the face OF The fact that any increas
ed demand for provisions at Liverpool or
London, al once raised the price of such
articles N our own seaports-the same
palrot cry Of the "home market" is kept
up But tie people may be securely relied
on to see the lhruih as its Union.

THE n. Y. CONVENTION. -SUFFRAGE.-
The N. Y. Convention have adopted
proposition as follows:-
IL. Every white male citizen Of the age
Of twenty one years, who shall have been a
citizen for sixty days, and an inhabllant Of
this state nine years next preceding any
election, and for the last six months resi-
dent of the county where he might offer his
vote, shall be entitled to vote at such
election, in the election district Of which he
shall have been an actual resident du-
ring the last preceding sixty days, and not
elsewhere, for all officers, that now are, or
hereafter may be, elective by the people.
An effort was made TO amend by striking
out the word "lchite," which was lost, by a
vote of &c 10 81. Tie clause in the pres
ent Constitution which gives to negroes the
right 10 vote by possessing freehold Of
$3.50, was adopted after several irefeclual
efforts to re duce the amount of freehold -
We do not think much of this part, at least,
of this Conventions doings If we under.
stand it, it requires nine years to natural
ize foreigner and give him 4 right TO vote.
If it be SO, it does not accord with our SEN
timents, nor what we believe 10 be Demo
cratic We can think of no good reason
why a man, a permanent resident Of the
country, with precisely the same interest in
her Institutions, that any man can have,
should be debarred voice in her afnirs for
so great length oftime. lit be that he
may become acquainted with her institu-
lions, the reason is not a good one. We
don't care what countryman born the indi
vdual may be who emgra.es among us; if
he cannot understand our institutions in one
year he cannot in one hundred. The
knowledge necessary for this end, IS not
learned in books, and a knowledge, and
spirit of republjcanjsm, is quite as much
The popularity Of a European as an Aneri-
can. | we had it to do, we should ask
nothing more when man desired to vote,
than to know that he WAS resident with a
permanent and fixed interest in our instiu-
lions. Tine would be nothing, in our es-
timalion. The other feature with regard
o negroes is quite as bad, and as anti
democratic. Negroes are either men or
they are not. If they are they should lie
permitted TO vote; if not, no amount Of
property should onlijlo them to the priv:
legc. This making property the ualdca-
ion Of vote has no feature in It Of re-
publican character; and it will take foreign
ors, no; only nine, but nloty-njne years, 10
understand such republicanism.

Mr.. EDITOR:
learn that our beloved Locofoco breth.
rem pretend to seek political discussion between
their hard-money man, Deford, and the Wing
candidate for Representative. 1t would, indeed,
be desirable, once more, to see and hear a Loco
foco candidate on the stump But it is certain
that neither Fries nor Deford can be kicked into
discussion, this fall. Their mode of operation
is ordered quite otherwise; and they dare moi
depart from the commands of David Tod s,
Co.
If our Locofoco leaders and managers, their
new allies, &C., really desire discussion, will
they be kind enough to bring on Fries and De.
fordl Dare they do i'll Ifthey will do so, | am

Those who remember Deford's empty and
nonsensical believing and blowing in 1910, his
rantng about GEN. HARRIsoN's cowardice, and all
hat'sort of Lokcy eloquence, would doubtless give
him hearing But, in point of fact, Deford
and Fries desire no public discussion. They
will avoid it as they would the harbnger o.
death! If this be not the truth, let the Lokey
Central Committee show their hand. They will
find the Central Committee of the Wings ready
to adjust preliminaries, at any time.

Mr.. EDITOR:
The last number of the Picayunc, low
and vulgar thing published in Carrollton, by that
miserable lOater, who subsists himself God only
knows how, contains blackguard allusion to
Leonard Harsh, Esq, worthy only the paper in
which it appears. The alusion appears under
the editorial head, but it was doubtless concocted
by the leaders at Carrollton. low and mean
attempt to mortify the feelings of Mr.. Harsh and
his numerous Wing and Democratic relatives,
will be resentedin way that this political cabal
will understand. Would it not be we'll for this
beercellar gazette to first purge their Loco Cen
tral Committee of sin before they publish the in
iquities of others. Let them ask one member
of the committee what he thinks Of seduction,
and whether he would be in favor Of making it
penitentiary offence, and whether he would
desire the law to operate in the county Of Wayne.
And let them ask some other members of that
committee ifthey have ever heard of the sanctity
ofa ady's bed chamber being invaded by an at
tempt to enter at a window. Perhaps when
they have answered these things they will be con-
tent to let others alone. If they are not, and
persist in their blackguard course, | will next
time reach their consciences unless they are
scared with a red hot iron, and if they are their
friends and families may perhaps hear something
they will not relish so well. This, however,
should regret, as desire to wound the feelings
of no person whatever.
