gsGy" 1t is very evident that our leading
editorial of last week cut to the quick the
miscellaneous Democracy herc--wc mean the
leaders when we use the term Democracy
Their organ, the Allc.aniau, came to us on
Saturday, hristling with incorporate ink
drops. Evidences Of resentment stand out
ike quilts upon the fretful porcupinc.
1t cnlcavcrs TO impress upon It's the i'm
portancc Of observing the maxim, ",lscrc-
ton is the better Of valor." What can this
mean in this connection? Viii the Al'cga-
nian explain?
The Allesanian denies that Col. Kunllcl'S
record does not stand endorsed by the De
mocracyef A!lcgany VIII it then answer
a few plain and simple questions?
Was it not Immediately and universally
known, rs asserted by the Citizen, when the
Washington delegation reached tho Court
House that the vote stood, Kunkel 81. De
vecmon 81. If SO, what reason was there
for Aegany so obstinately pcrsistng upon
the nomination of Dcvecmon, at the risk OF
breaking up the Convention in n row, if she
was prepared to cheer(uly and cordially en-
,lurSc Kunkcls record Now, Mr.. Allcsanian
face the music, and answer us that.
Again, the Citizen asserts that, by the
'usage Of the Democratic party in this Con-
gressional district for thirty years past, sue
cess(ul candidate for Congress has always
been considered entitled to a denomination
for n second term "a an endorsement of his
faithful discharge Of duty" Opposition
therefore, TO Mr.. Kunke $ denomination
was opposition to an endorsement of lis
record. .Allegany opposed it to the bitter
end. Are we not right, therefore, reader in
saying that Mr.. Kunkcl's record does not
stand chccriully and cordially endorsed by
the AIIegany Democracy? "Actiuns speak
louder than words
Mr.. Kunkel's friends did not regard Ale
gangs endorsement Of his record cheerful
and cordial, for they would not accept the
nomination when made Besides which. the
Citizen adds that, when Devccmon with
drew. and there was no other name before
the Convention, and it was proposed to nom
mate Col. kunkel by acclamation decisive
noes were heard Where did they come
| from,
We regard Mr.. kuukel's refusal to
accept the nomination, made at the first ses-
sion Of the Convention, as proof concl usive
of our charge. His aspirations contemplated
an enthusiastic endorsement OF his faithful
discharge of duty. His soaring ambition
hoped it would be done byspontaneous COM
bustion. Well, so it was, but by species
of spontaneous combustion that wounded the
Frederick bird-and laid the Alcgany fowl
out cold as wedge.

Georgia is probably the lightcst taxed State
in the Union. Its State tax is only two
thirds of mill on the dollar. A man own
ing $4,000 of property pays only S6.62
taxes. Georgia is one Of the most flourish
ing States, also, rapidly rising in manufac-
lures as well as in agriculture.

sylvara, asked the unanimous consent oftho
House to offer the following resolution:
"Whereas, the existing tariff has hceu fonrd
inadequate to supply the Government with
! revenue, and has proved itself source Of en-
barrassment to the trade and interests Of the
, country Therefore
Bet Rsso!rcd, That the Committee OF Ways
| and Means be instructed to inquire irto the
expedicncy Of reporting a ill revising the
the present tariff, abolishing foreign valuation
and substituting specific duties and horne
valuation. where necessary, to retain al cdiO-
rem duties, and so augmcntug the duties on
articles coming INTO competition with JONES
tic manufactures and products as TO afford
inc reascd protection to American industry
and labor
Mr.. Mcqueen, Of South Carolina, demo
ocrat, objected Mr.. Morris then moved to
suspend the rules, so as TO enable him to in
troduce his resolution. and demanded the
yeas and rays; Upon this motion Mr..
kurkel otodnay The reader will thus per-
ccivc that Mr.. Kunkel was SO stcrnly oppo-
scd to any increase Of duty on coal and iron,
for these are two Of the principal articles
coming into competition with American
manufactures and products, that he voted
against the consideration Of q revision of tie
tariff Of 1857.
On tic first Of the last session of Congress
Mr.. Dewart Of Pennsylvania, moved the s,s-
pension Of the rules to allow lin to introduce
the following resolution
"ReSolrei, That the Committee of Ways
and Means, when appointed, he instructed
to report bill Increasing the duty on coal
iron, lead, wool, and such other articles as
need protection against foreign competition.
Upon this motion, too, Mr.. Kunkcl voted
ray, !hus throwing the subject out Of the
Lower House Of Congress, altogether
Mr.. Kunkcl's record upon this subject for
bids the idea that he would favor anything
looking to fair play" for American labor
Any professions he may now make in that
direction will not answer him. They will
he too transparent not to he seen through.
