up7 The object o. the government. under
successive Democratic administrations has
been to discourage manufactures md stimulate
agriculture aud commerce.. This has been
because the South, the ruling psFer, has
found her gain therein. But the Consequences
to the North, often foretcld, viii soon I've seen.
There is surplus Of food. For the first time
in threc yeazs tho crop il full, and 50 great is
tho number driven from manufacturing pur~
nuits to agriculture, by tue press Of foralgn
competition, that tie area devoted to wheat anu
corn never was so large before. The surplus
regulates the price; md if no foreign demand
arises, that price will open the eyes Of tho
West to the imperative necessity Of such IN
alteration Of our commercial policy as will
bring the workshops Of tie artisan and the
fields Of the farmer sido hy side-that will
afford not only protection to the infant Indus"
trial enterprises, but home market for
everything that tie ta.mer may prodnce-and
that will withdraw a part Of tue men now en-
gagged in the cultivation Of the earth, and con'
vert them into laborers in 4 new and mora
profitable aeld.~~ If the market price Of wheat
is but fifty, and o: corn hnt twcDty cents per
bushsl, let those who raise and sell these grams
remember thht the difference between what
they 4sceivp aud what they have earned is a
tribute that they pay to the Shareholders o. the
South for managing the government exclusive
" for their own bcneGs; and TINT nothing but
the clcction Of Republican President mud

ative prices whenever crops are full, or even

Graham L Co., Of Phllipatown, Illinois,
write us asking for private opinion in rela.
ton To the probable vote Of New York and
Pennsylvania in November next We hare
not two sets Of opiniona-one for the public
and the other for private circulation; hence
we say to our interrogators at Phillipstown
that New York and Pennsylvania will as
surely vote for Lincoln as Vermont and Mas
sachusetts. Among all w'ell-informed politi-
csans outside the little knot Of Douglas blowers
whose game is q game Of brag, this Is con-

i large and enthusiastic Mass Meeting Of
the Republicans Of Kansas City, No., Was
held few days ago, in which straight-out
Lincoln and Hamlin resolutions were passed.
The meeting was addressed BY Col William
Gilpin Of Independence, who, in capital
speech, demonstrated the necessity for Repub-
lican triumph in Missouri and the nation. TITO
attendance was very large md the enthusiasm

Editors Tress mud Tribune;
The ST ynopsis Of Arkansas politics in your is
sue Of the 4.h is mainly correct. You, however,
do the Hon. Henry II. Rector, Independent
candidate for Governor, great injustice, by rep
resenting him as a Douglas Democrat. The
issue between Rector and johnson the regular
Democratic candidate, is one Of Slate policy in
regard to internal Improvements and State
debts. Both candidates are enthusiastic Breck-
inridge men-nor is there, to the writer's knowl-
edge, single candidate before the people open
Iy acknowledging Douglas proclivities.
Yours, ARKANSAS.
