Mr.. Holmes, of South Carolina, after advert
ing 10 The al,ernalons Of hope and fear which
the f,ien,ls OF free trade had undergone for some
weeks past, said il was really refreshing and de-
lighlfu to hear message like TINS from Inc

would ask every member Of il with what sort oil

creed, because il was known 10 all that stood on

tariff as should equally benefit every part OF The
country. 1.-THE Democratic party meant 10 stand

had given The country such President as The

on The Oregon question. Renewed merriment..
A President who had baltled lriumphantly in The
gorions immortal struggle between monopoly
and Tree trade-who had unfettered the energies
Off great people, and had made this Govern
men a universal blessing instead OF being par
iicular curse.
