In the same strain, but with more bitter ha-
tired Of the South, the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, pours out its bile upon the Pennsylvania pa
pers, which do not regard the Tariff of 1912 as
wisdom itself:
"The administration journals, therefore break
ground in favor Of the doctrines OF the Nullihets
OF South Carolina-repeat their sneers against
Northern NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in their coming
and present embarrassment, and raise the banner
of Slavery against Freedom--tae South against The
North-the lohip and stackle against the loom and
shuttle. They draw pictures Of The manufacturers
whose wealth has been employed 10 secure wealth
TO the aborer; but say nothing OF the Free-lrade
tyranls, with his army of overseers, whip in hand
and pistols in belt; they say nothing OF The music
of the lash and the shrek; they give no stirring
descriptions of the RIGHTEOUSNESS, pride and ~
ranny of the system TO which they sacrifice The
high-browed and hard handed freemen OF The
North. Their sneers, reproaches and wrongs ale
reserved for those whose protected labor has made
the North prosperous and happy-tor the men
who trusted in The pledges Of honor OF Buchanan
and Dallas in behalf of the tariff OF ~. They
would spread their wings over the Democracy, like
vultures, covering and devoufing them; degrade

and tell them lis their charter
FIN another column, the same paper is "still
proud of the South" because of the ardent sup
port OF the Tariff by southern Wings. The latter
will scarcely be "proud" of the following compli-
ment. from one, who in the same breath de-
nounces 1.-THE RIGHTEOUSNESS, pride and tyranny
Of the system" under which we all, Wings and
Democrats, live:
at may be doubted whether our country has
ever boosted purer and loilier body OF patriots
than the Wings of the South. In every political
exigency they have been among the foremost in
the championship OF sound principles and Just
measures; and amid the wrongs and insults
poured upon the North by The dominant party,

liant Wings Of that sections makes us still proud
OF the Souh."l
So much for the denunciations Of the fanatics
aud monopolis,s of The Wing party OF The North.
The burlhsn OF their clamor is. that the North is
sacrificed 10 the South by the new Tariff.
The N. o. Tropic, an organ Of the Southern
Tarifiles, touches different key. lis bitter COM
plant is, that the South has been made vassal
of the North! Hear IL:

try. The great blow al the productive labor oil
the South has been struck, and Northern fanatics,
and foreign enemies 10 our institutions, arc ex-
ulting over their diabolcal work"
Still the Tropic, in another place, rejoices in
its "ruin." II sees. in the long vista OF the tu-
ture, that some political capital may be effected
by this "diabolica" Tariff, and it hugs the stake
Of martyrdom in the blessed prospect OF Wing
triumph hereafter! 1t says
again, we repeat, we are glad the bill has
passed. The Wings have now only to bide their
time; from This hour their star is in the ascendant.
Let them use their power prudently-show no
signs of cxnltatiol over a Frustrated faction,
but temporarily enjoy The victory that hereafter
awaits them. Let them nominate good men for
Office, tor we unhesitatingly declare, that from
this time forward, every election NIL be triumph,

House"
But enough ofsuch extravaganza. The calm
and intelligent observer will see in The conflict
ing denunciatons of The Tariffites the strongest
proof of,he merits OF the bill. They can agree up
on no one argument against it. They resist it in
various sections, upon no general principle, but
upon different grounds, best calculated to secure
political capital. The "Presidential contest" is
the chief object Of their attention. But the peo-
pie will not be led astray. They will give the
law fair trial, unaffected by the alarm cries of
the monopolists, North or South.
