Of progressive tree trade throughout the world. If
there were 10 other evidence Of their principles
this would bind both Breckenridge and Douglas To op
pose protective tariff.
But independently OF his pledge in the platform, Mr.
projection In lS43 and 1874 find from the journals
| that he voted st least four times to repeal tbs
tariff of lS42, reduce the duties to 70 per cent nd
ralorem and to discriminate below that on the prin-
| cipIe of revenue only In 1853, he supported by
speech and voted for proposition to repeal all dutIes

ever; il noi he should get off the Cincinnati platform
Next Winter he will be found voting against it This
is all sheer hypocrisy.

for neither The course Of Mr.. Douglas in Pennsyl-
yania with regard to the tariff must sink him very
low in the estimation Of truth.loving men, 1t dsgrades
him 10 the character of fraudulent trickser. Brock
nrdge is wrong the question OF Protection, but he
does not seek to cover his error with the mantle Of
falst hood
Let me ask here how any honest man. protesting to
be in favor of Protection, can vote for Douglas or
BreckinIidge Let me ask, especially, how any
Peinsylyanisn where all are Proteconists, can vote
for either of them and still claim 10 be honest Let
me ak the same thing Of New jersey whose vital in-

1t puzzles 70 know how certain respectable jour
nals In the North can devote column to the adyo-
cscy Of Protection, and another TO the support OF
Douglas or Breckenridge. DO they blush when they
look in the gsss or have the practices OF modern
Democracy extiDguished that amiable emotion IL s
disgusting to Gubernatorial, Congressional, and
Legislative candidates protesting 10 be Protectionlss
and yet supporting Douglas or Breckenridge. IL would
be harsh TO call them fools or knayes, but they must
! believe the people to be or the other.

know the head of that ticket well. A more pure or
able hardly be found In most things he agrees
with the Republican party. He is in favor OF the pro-
lection of American Industry. He believes that Con-
press has sovereign power the Territories. In one
| tbpg only do we differ. In hostility to moden De-
mocrscy we cordially agree Hence 1t astonishes me
to see his friends in the FreeStates directing their
hostility against the Republicans, and coalesclDg with
Democrats No one is mad enough to suppose that Bell
can be elected by the people the House OF Represen-
tatver. IT, by possibility, they could give Free,
State to Douglas Breckenridge, il would only send
the election 10 Congress, where Joe Lane. the most
unfit of tie whole lot, would be made President.
What would the friends of Bell gain thereby The
acom Of both parties-the favor OF none HOW
different would it be if Lincoln were. elected.

net and many of his ofice-hoders from the South.
Where should he go for them bu! among the Southern

Bell or EtheIdge Bolts, Bates Rayner, or H. Winter
Dayis The protective system has no truer or ADLER
men than the Southern Bel men, Why should North

al the patronage Of the Republican Administration
The Republicans in the last session of Congress showed
their freedom from sectional party bigotry by giving
two Of their best offices TO outside the party-to
