The Result OF the Senatorial
Quarrel.

We do not wish to iibe at iho unfortu-
ma c, or when prediction has been fl =
filled, put on an air of oracu!ar wisdom
and say, 1--WE told you 3d." But we
wish to say word about the course pur-
sued in this Senatorial District by por-
ton of the Republican party, and the re-
suit of that course.
PERHAPS it was unwisc for the Conven-
ton to nominate Mr. Strong. We deemcd
it so in view of the local iealous;cs exist
ing, but nothing could be urged against
him as being a proper person to T. pre-
sent the Republican sentiment of this Dis
trict, and we hoped that there might be
enough of love for principle to overcome
sectional feeling. But We were mistaken.
MIR. Moore was put in nomination. We
were told he could be elected, and urged
Ia support him. But we believed it to be
our duty to support Mr.. Strong, and We
also believed that hc would command
moro votes than any other candidate of
the Boilers. Now what is the result {!
Mr.. Moore is nowhar." North Pepin,
town in his own portion of tho district,
gave the same heavy majority against
him which she gave for Randall The
result shows that the people were displea-
sed with his nomination. Had not Mr..
Strong (unwisely as we think resigned,
we have no doubt he would have received
the support of the majority of the Repub
licans of this district.
But let the past alone. All we wish
Is that lesson may be learned from it.
If sectional interest is greater than love
for party principles, why, openly avow
1t. and let the battle be fought ON that
issue. But kt Republicans, those who
deem their principles worth sustaining.
initiate the example of their opponents,
and at the ballot-box be a mt. instead
of disgusting their friends and pleasing
their enemies by petty, contemplate,
party qnarrels.

Good time coming for Far
nlCrS.

What the Crimcan war did for our
Western farmers in years past, is likely
to be accomplished this year by agencies
of another though familiar sort. The po-
tato rot has made its appearance in its
most Yirulent form in England and on
the continent. In consequence of the
fears inspired in France, .lle government
has prohibited the expectation OF grain
till September 1853. If its rayages are
general on the continent, similar protect
I've measures will doubtless be taken by
other governments.
England then will depend to the ex-
tent of 100000 bushels of wheat up
on Canada and United States to supply
tho increased demand of breadstuffs that
will be caused by the failure of the pota-
to crop; and our Expectations this year
will be likely to be as much larger than
usual as the product has been larger
than in previous years This new COM
mercial development supp lies the only ell
ement necessary to ensure the speedy re-
establishment of the internal commerce
of these States in forward move
ment of grain, bring about resumption
of our exchange-enable the West to pay
its debts at the East-the East to pay its
debts to Europe-and so prove what we
have ALWAYS maintained that to this young
mother of empires, the glorious West,
the daughter Of tue sun, belongs the seep-
tire of the world. Paul ddrertiser.

The Result in the state.

We have not been rs successful as We
hoped and believed VIC should be. In
the Senate and Assembly the Republic
cans have majority, the State ticket is
doubtful. There should have been no
doubt. Wisconsin should have spoken
with emphatic voice an endorsement of
Republican principles. She would have
done so. had the vote been full, but apa-
thy and sheer negligence may have lost
us the State. But we believe that Wis
consin is Republican to the core, and
when again tho battle is to be fought
with the national party now dominant,
we believe her condemnation of it will be
clear and convincing. In that belief we
shall labor and wait.

The Tariff.

When the breaking down of our A
merican tariff was resolved upon and ac-
complishcd, by the party now calling it
self democratic, we were charged by that
party, to wait patiently the results of that
doctrines practical operations, and to note
them, in detail; and we had manifold as
surancc that if We would but do this, we
should see result that would satisfy all.
Well; we have thus waited AMI thus no.
ted the workings of that ''beautiful sys-
tem," as it's authors have been wont to
call their free trade scheme, until the coun-
try has now reached the legitimate result
of it. In other words we have learned
practically, to what this landed trade leads;
and we have have also found that, in its
leadings, it has led us to its positive con-
illusions.
And now, having reached the concu-
sions to which free trade has brought us,
we are better prepared than ever be-
fore to cast aside all theories, upon the
subject, and then to test this spocious doe
by its actual results. We have waited
and watched, as directed, until now we,
and all men, have seen this "beautful
system" end i'll a suspension of specie
pavmcnts The doctrine Of free trade,
is, that we must not encourage Our home
industry, but send our gold to Europe
and buy labor with it there. This we
We have accordingly done, and everybody
sees how it works. Here we are with
our Manufacturers doing little or nothing
and our mechanics out of employ, be
cause we wished to try the advantages OF
free II ade. We trust that our mechanics
will seek to discover the benefits of that
policy which many of them have been in
strulncntal in bringing upon us.
The question Of securing a really pro-
tcctiye tariff is sure to become prominent
in the discussions of the next Congress.
There was a time when our manutacto-
RIGS and mechanics were generally united
in favor of protection, but they have aban-
doned these and arc now assisting in keep
inc up the supremacy of the party which
makes free trade its policy. We must
renew the consideration OF this subject.
We must seek to establish the good old
doctrine of protection to American indus
try and manufactures. We must strive to
secure such legislation as will prevent tho
importation of foreign manufactured goods
into the country, thereby destroying our
resources and our labor.-Newark Mer-
cury.

Hnrrah for the Quakcrs.

The old Keystone State has crowned
herself with glory. Republicanisin there
is nowhere it shows that it was only
an integral part of Know Nothingism, as
Wilmot is vastly behind the Know Moth

Carl SCHlllrZ.

Just before election the milwaukee,
Neys had long and abusive article up
on Mr.. >ScHURz, in which it represented
him as very unpopular at home, and de-
clared that in Watertown call agree that
he aoW not receive as large a cote as
would be gioen for almost any other
man." The election is past and how is
the vaticination fulfilled? Last year
Watertown gave over $50 Democratic
majority. This year it gives Gross only
252 majority, while ScHURz himself in
that Democratic stronghold, actually
received thirteen Notwithstanding 265
votes ahead of his ticket The ribald and
scurrilous Nevs is answered by the re-
Spouse of Watertown.
1t is vet in doubt whether Mr.. ScHURz
is elected or not, but whether successful
or defeated, we feel sure-and now that
the election is past we may say it without
the suspicion OF insincerity-that a truer,
nobler-hearted man was never presented
for the suffrages of the people of this
State than CARL ScHURz. We were
proud of him as candidate, and we had
rather be in defeat with such as he than
successful with such as his opponent

b. t. TAYLoR.-The readers of ou-
paper have doubtless noticed many pieces
credited to B. I Taylor. Who is he?
we have frequently been asked. OF his
life we know but little except that he re-
sides in Chicago and writes largely for
the Chicago Journal. But we do know
that he is a poetic PoET, and a manly
MAN. His writings are full Of tenderness
and truth, beauty and humanity.
While picking over his ''chip basket"
we often regret that we cannot present
more of its beauties to our readers. We
hope these fugitive pieces may sometime
be gathered into volume. Apart from
tho charm and value which Taylor's VIZ
tings impart to the Journal, it is an excel
lent sheet and we chcerfulIy recommend
it to those wishing Chicago paper.

The Atlantic MONTHLY.

Some time since we noticed the APP
pearance Of this new magazine. Our
readers may sec its prospectus in our pa
per to-day and judge for themselves of
its aims, and the ability pledged to sup
port it. The magazine is not as Ameri-
can rs we expected it would be, but tie
1Hantic washes the shores of two CONT
ncnts and it is right that the atlantic
Monthly, should contain the thought
Of both the Old and the New World.
This first number is rich one. The ar.
ticle on Douglas Jerrold, hackneyed
subject, is fresh and interesting. '.The
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, is n
rich article, as is everything from the IA
cy pen of Holmes. Though the maya
zine is to treat on politics, and is pub
lished at Boston, yet one will look in vain
for any peculiar Bostonian notions. From
its tone, one might as well suppose it en-
enatcd from Charleston, as from Boston.
However we doubt not from tho well
known character Of its contributors it
will be true to the great instincts of hui
mainly, and faithfully reflect the moral
and political thought of cultured Ameri-
cans. 1t is a gigantic enterprise to pub
lsh such monthly" and we hope the
Atlantic may receive liberal support.
