VOL:~6, NO. 4.-WHOLE NO 264.

Such lies are not abstractions-they are
great practical mischiefs. Hundreds of
thousands of eager, heated. ignorant parti.
sans will, either blindly or for partys sake,
gulp down the abominable dose, and even
try TO fancy they like the taste Of it Hun
dreds of thousands will adopt the new creed
IN profound Inconsistencies that it differs
materially from the old one Thus the
baletul talsehood of 1850 will become the
more baleful half.tru,h Of 1861.
We commend these considerations 10
those who are intent on fastening all sorts
of addenda on the Republican Platform ut
Chicago, but especially TO those who insist
upon having Protective plank in the
Platform. Now, if there be any more de.
voted, unfinching. undoub,ing Protection
lss than We are, his superiority mus. consist
IN ability, not zeal. not ,horoughness of
conviction. We never missed an opportu-
nifty nor grudged an effort to secure the
triumph of Protection. That nine-tenths
Of the Republicans are with US, on this point.
We do not doubt but i. is sequally clear that
some Republicans are against us And
they have just rs perfect a right TO their
convictions as If they Were majority.
Nay It would be unfair aud tyranical to
make them. by a resolve, at Chicago, seem
to affirm or uphold what they really do not
believe They are not the men TO be trans
formed from Free Traders into Protection
lists by such a course they are far more
likely to be s.eeled against argument. against
conviction. We, the overwhelming major-
ity Of Republicans. can well afford to let
them alone while they let us alone We
have perfect right to act on our own con-
victions in the premises, so long as We leave
them at perfect liberty to act upon theirs
We most undoubt:ngly believe that the
triumph of the Republicans will secure
beneticent revision Of the Tariff but to at
tempt to make our few Free Trade Repub-
llcans profess faith adverse to their own
is to hazard both the triumph and its ex-
pected fruits
The conclusion of the whole matter is
this Whenever there is question Of put
tirg in or leaving out plank in Plat
form, it should be decided in favor Of leav-

PROPOSED NEW TERRITORIES.

The House Committee on Territories
have agreed upon bills for organizing FIVE
new territories, which will include the en-.
tire unorganized region between the Miss
issippi Valley and to the Pacific slope,
their names are to be Arizona, Nevada,
Idahoe, DacOtah and Chippewa. The first
includes all that portion of territory OBJ

southern boundary will be the Mexican
border, and its northern the parallel of SO

Arizona will thus form block nearly
square, including most of New Mexico west

nearly two hundred thousand square miles.
