The WLMoT PRovIso.-The question Involved ia this
notable Provso, which seriously threatens to disturb the
stability Of the democratic party and of the Union ITSELF
viewed in the right light in letter from the Hon James
Buchanan Secretary of Sate which will be found in the
Journal of this week. 1t is refreshing in these times when
many of our leading statesmen deserving the cosu-
ton and the permanent interests of the country, in
of sectional influence and support find from position
and location entitled speak for the democracy of the
NORTH who aderes the old landmarks which have uni
formy guided and distinguished the democracy in the
periodical agtations of the slavery question.
The feelings of the democratic party OF the north
regard the Wlmot Proviso have yet had opportunity
for concentration and development. But
predict, that when the time that fair EXPIRE salon
be had, it will be found that the democrats who
aboring place the great democratic party of the

appendage of aboionism have only transferred themselves

EE~ The Rochester DAILY thinks it has discover
ed an inconsistency between our advocacy OF al
lowing every man TO act lawyer whom suit
or chooses to employ, and our hostility to allowing
Foreign fabrics TO enter into Unrestricted comPetl'
ton with those produced by our own people but
there is no real incopgruity in the premises We
advocate Protection, not for the sake Of shielding
our purchasers of fabrics against the consequences
OF their own mistaken preference of Foreign to
American goods--though that is often desirable
incident thereof-but because we believe the gene.
raj interest Of our People is promoted by the en-
couragement, naturalization and growth to hardy
and prosperous maturity in our own country OF all
the useful arts and branches Of productive industry
so far as Nature does not forbid. Prove to Us that
the same ends, or any Of equal importance and
benehcence, will be promoted by confning the
practice OF Law 10 a corporation OF licensed law
yers and we will support that also II novelty
and snowy exterior were qualities as commonly
sought in lawyer as in a lady's dress the paral
lei instituted by the Daily would have more force.
But we desire so TO shape or National policy as
TO su bserve National interests and this we believe
is achieved by Protective Tariff
