DELMAg,s REsURRECTION sIRUP,

The Ereaing Post says that Mr.. A. Delmar
introduced, at the last meeting Of the Chamber
of Commerce, his resolve in favor Of Free Trade
with preamble as follows:
"American industry should be supported at all haz.
ards and every encouragement should be extended
toward the inventor of any machine destined TO con
fer advantages upon mankind. lie had Ia
bor.sayng machine which would require no
space for its exhibition; and YET. In IFS bene.

labor and in its general importance was unsurpassed

new impetus 20 Manufactures it would cause general
business to be active and prOa0le 1t would increase

would scatter plenty over the land and 1t would give
active and profitable employment 10 the laD0ring
classes Furthermore the machine cost nothing. there
was no patent on 1t, it free TO OIL and it was
already perfected and could be put in operation at
By this time the curiosity 20 know what laborsaJng

TO the highest pitch. Slowly drawing from his eos

than Free Tradeor rather. that near approach to il
which is TO be found in tariff which has for ITS object
Revenue and in which protection is merely the un
ayoidable incident"
If Mr.. Delmar had been candid, we think
he would have informed his younger auditor:
that his "machine" was no modern Invention
but very old gimcrack--centurie'i older than
that which it is intended to supplant. Oul
fathers had it in perfeo. working order

The New-Jersey Legislature adjourned finally
yesterday without having chosen U. s. Senator
Mr.. scovel voting to the last with the Demo
Gratis against going into joint ballot, and thus de-
feating It'll to 10. We presume the Democrats
Justify themselves on the assumption that there
is properly no vacancy: but how can Mr.. Sco-
vell The Federal Constitution expressly re-
quire, the Legislature to elect U. S.
Senators "a general refusal or neglect
to obey this requisition would work
destruction Of the Government, whereof the
Senate is an essential constituent. We will
admit, for the arguments sake, all that is or
can be urged against Mr.. Cattell; and, having
admitted it, we do not see how 1t excuses
Mr. Snnvers refusal to do what the Consii-
tuition plainly enjoins to be DONE If he judged
Mr.. Cattell unfit for Senator, it was his right
and duty to vote against him, but not to
prevent an election. He is nowise responsible
for other members votes.

ABOUT LYING.

We lay down these fundamental PROPOSE.
ti0ns:
/. 1t is dishonoring as well as immoral to
bear false witness, especially when your neigh
Dor is thereby damaged in his rights, his fame,
or his fortune.
2. In every case Of manifest, willful false
hood, whereby others are thus injured there
devolves on the public and its organs moral
duty of exposing and rebukng the culprit.
g. The N. y. Herald, in its article Of last
Saturday on the Connecticut Election, urging
the voters to support the English ticket, saw fit
to say that
"The Presidents party believe In conducting this
Government for the benefit of forty millions OF White
people. and OF all people Of other com who NAV
seek its protection; the party opposed him could build
up arisiocraey Of three millions Of ns1roes hapin9
peculiar rights aud Privee aad superior Whik men
in erery legal rsspset."
4. We denounce The Heralds assertion Just
given in Italics as %illful wicked lie-a lie
calculated and plainly intended to deceive and
miSlcad, in order TO perpetuate the most unjust
and perilous degradation and oppression of the
Blacks al p,ls countrv-a lie which no intelli.

gent person can have concOcted and uttered
without knowing its falsehood and moaning tC
deceive by its utterance.
Why is it that, in no single instance like this,
involving mingled consideration OF ethics and
courtesy, have We been able TO make our an
tagonlsts consider, or even face, the Main Ques'
toni They always prefer to talk of the rude
ness of calling one a liar-the wrong of being q
liar they shirk and dodge as though it covered
mortal infection. Never once have we been
able to coax, or shame, or drive, one of them to
copy the statement which we had branded as a
lie and endeavor to prove it true. Why not
Why does even Tie Times-which dipped into
this discussion wholly uninvited-relapso into
obstinate silence the moment it is asked to con-
slider the Main Question:
The Herald crawls back to the encounter In
this Shiny fashion:
1T is the theory Of this American system that diff
feronces Of opinion are not crimes. way or the
other that may differ from Cne another honestly
enough in thought and that such differences are emu
tied to courteous hearing and reasonable answer
But, Sir, this is not a matter of difference
of opinion" You charge us, the Twenty Mil
lions of Americans who insist that there shall
be. under the Constitution and laws OF our
country, perfect equality of civil rights among
our countrymen, with conspiring and striving
TO create an eristocracy of three millions oil
negroes-to confer on them peculiar and exclu-
siye privileges denied to WITHSTAND on that
charge you ask the people to vote us down-to
defeat Gen. Hawley and elect Mr. English Gov
ernor of Connecticut Now, to argue that point
with You, as a matter whereOn two antagonist
opinions may honestly exist, is to give your
clients that very dishonest advantage in the can
yass which you seek for them. Mind, that
YOU do not argue that our doctrines have
a certain tendency: You broadly charge on us
a specific purpose and intention. II is you who
attack, using naked falsehood as your weapon;
we stand on the defensive against your dam
aging imputation: how shall we meet you on a
fair and just footingl We know no other way
but to oppose to your willful, deliberate lie the
truth that you are seeking to iniure US by false
hood, and let the public see this as plainly
as possible.
If there be any respectable journal that dis
sents from this position, We we will thank 1t to
say why-always beginning with categorical
treatment of the Main Question.

The Daily Ne,os of yesterday had Washing

holds with Mr. Webster thatt is the hight OF impu-
dence for set of public servants 10 instruct a"o'ne

We do not take issue with this. 1t used to
be orthodox Democratic doctrine (but never
was ours) that when State Legislature saw
fit to instruct the U. s. Senators from that
State to vote this way or that, they must either
obey or resign. But we think there is moral
obligation resting on Senators to vote generally
as those who elected them expect, and have q
right to expect, that they would. II there be
any Senators who have disappointed this just
expectation, let them answer it to their own
cOnscences.

did not. And several Senators who have been
confidently counted on to "Sustain the Presi-
dent. have voted to sustain the Rights of Man.
Honor to the noble Thirty-three
The House, we feel morally certain, will
promptly concur with the Senate. The bill
passed on its final reading by III Yeas to 80
Nays; so we can lose ten and still have enough.
1t is not probable that half that number will
turn their backs on themselves as well as on the
cause Of Humanity.
- Well, it is said, the President will refuse
to enforce the provisions Of this act. That is
possible. But the utility, the value Of the act
will not thereby be destroyed. In the first
place, so much of the act asrecognizes every one
born in this country as an American citizen asks
no odds Of the President The Courts will take
care of its enforcement. And then, a law stands
till it is repealed while Presidents term ex-
pires by limitation. Let US be patient and
trust that all will come right, while we do our
best to keep it from going otherwise.

THE CITY AND COUNTY TAX LEVY.

Every year, the City and County Govern

to raise from the people the sum necessary for
the years expenses. But the Rirg' mas so
managed for years past to override all provis'

tute itself the Supreme Power, and levy upon
the people any sums they think proper. The
