SUGAR DUTIES. Ig3tI ~
Mr.. CoLrAx of Indiana has introduced
. Bill for the repeal Of the duty on Sugar.
We believe it to be good more, and we
are surprised to find it advocated by a
gentleman whose tenacious adherence to
the exploded theories Of his party is, in
his own 'neighborhood, provcrbial. The
Protective doctrine has lost large share
of its strength in the higher excitement
attendant upon the "Slaveiy Issue" as'our
opponents are pleased to call it. How
true i; is that the opposition is party Of
expedicnts and not of principles. 70 Ten
years ago you could not have singled out
a man among them who would hazarded
his political reputation for Wing sound
ness BY proposing to vote the Protective
doctrine a nullity. Greedy Of the Tri-
bune, Weed of the Albany Journal and
several other old Anti-Dcmocratic war
horses, do not yet consent, with all their
spite at the sugsr7producing South, to
advocate a policy that will be wonderfully
fatal to the interests of Northern Manu-
features. The Democratic party can con-
sistenly urge the reduction Of all duties
to tho loves: possible Revenue standard,
but the children of the Wings of IA and
'48 are derelict in duty torheir parents
when they forget the precepts then taught
them. Better be careful how you stray
from your old stakes, gcntlemen! Grip
pie the interests Of Louisiana, and you
will be furnishing an example whose copy
may raise a storm about your ears in New
England, the home of your strength. -
Lengthen not your tether else You may
stray into full commuaion with the De-
mocracy in it's assaults upon privilege and
special favors Of every character.
