designed to advance the industrial interests of
the Union. OF course, if il had been declared
inexpedient 10 legislale upon the Tariff at the
present time, by the same token it would be
found inexpedient to legisate upon harbor and
river improvements, railroad improvements, and
all the great interests to which the wire-draw-
ing and hair-splitting class Of anti-every thing
politicians are opposed.
What will the people of Connecticut say
when they find BoorH, CLEVELAND, and
WALDO voting side by side on this subject
with WALLACE, Oar, MCQUEEN, and WooD-
WARD, Of South Carolina-unitng with them
to check all Legislation upon those great ques-
tons in which Connecticut is 50 largely inter
ested What will the practical, laboring men
of Pennsylvania say when they find McLANA-
HAN, Ross and Jon Mann, uniting with BAYLY
MEADE, and Seldom of Virginia, to prevent
the entertainment Of any project which con-
templates the resusctation of the depressed and
ruined industrial interests of the Keystone
State? What will Michigan, and Illinois, and
Indiana, and Maryland say, when they learn that
they had not Democratic representative in
their delegations who, after nine months of dis
cussion and agitation upon single topic,
considered it at all eXpedient to examine or dis
cuss for fortnight the great measures which
are of primary interest and importance to
AMERICAN LABOR? If these States have Sc
lected their representatives with the intention
that they should ignore all other topics but the
single topic Of slavery--it is very well Their
representatives have discharged their duty to
the letter. But if these States have thought
that they had some interests of their own to be
cared for and looked after, we apprehend that
they will be grlevously disappointed They
will find that the Democracy do not deem it
''expedient" to legislate for any such interests
We annex for convenient reference list of
the Democrats who consider it 'inexpedient to
attempt any legislation" on the Tariff at this
time arranged, according TO their respective
States. Though the Democrats can differ on eve
ry thing else, they can agree, it seems, marvel
lousy well, in their hostility to any Legislation
that contemplates the development of the pro-
ductive power Of the country.

We congratulate the Democratic party on
having at length found a common platform.
All the other issues having been disposed of. it
is delightful TO witness the unanimty with
which the Democrats of Connecticut, Maine,
Ohio. Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Geor-
gia-the representatives Of practical working
people who want their railroads built and their
harbors and rivers cleared-can coalcsce with
that peculiar class Of the Democracy who have
been, ever since the formation of our govern
ment. opposed TO all manner Of legislation look
ing to any such end.
Richmond is uppermost again in the councils
Of the Democratic party. Pennsylvania has
struck her flag to Virginia and South Carolina.

unionists the ahstractiouists have all como IN
