Plain Question Of Common
Sense. "

Do we want to heal the wounds
caused by the late war between the
North and the South Do we want
to make the Southern people our friends,
or shall we force them TO DO, in future,
bitter enonies2 Do we want good
fellowship restored in tho conflicting
S%ections2 II we do, what is the policy
to effect IT'D Is it that Of the Radicals?
Do they pour oil upon the troubled
waters, or anoint with healing salvc
the gaping wounds1 Is not their
whole course Of action undisguiseedly
calculated to foster cnmity ard bitter
st-ifeH Do they address the South IN
any n likely to win its affections?
They VIGOROUSLY do not. All their
measures and all their schemes neces-
Sarily foster bad blood and malignant
passion in those who ought to be
friends. They seem to exercise a per-
fectly de7ilish ihgcnueto to increase
all the asperity and i'll nature which
the war produced. They seem deter.
mined that the country shall never
have any real peace, Their acts are
acts Of prescription aud acts of VEN
geance. Their words are words of
hate, of denunciation, Of bitter sar
casm and corn. Their press vics
with their clergy in malicious dcfam-
alton. They take pleasure in raking
open all the old sores OF tho past, and
seem to be MORALLY afraid that they
may be forgotten. e Was there ever a
more u%ngenerous oil unwise spirit dis
played? Could there be any thing
worse for the interests of the country
Could the most maliglnt eLemy OF the
United States devise any thing more
detrimental to our internal peace and
prosperity
i. We entreat those who are not too
far gone IN party prejudice, who con-
slider political triumph too dearly pur-
chased by national ruin, who exercise
some common sense in their veiw Of
governmental affairs, to consider those
things, and to hereafter cease TO act
with those whose language and acts
foster enmIty and hatred, instead OF
peace, between u States and sections.

The Enterprise (Mississippi) Star tolls
the following good story Of an old friend
of ours, we'll known among the Meth
odists on Pearl river, but who has
moved, il seems, TO Alabama:
a friend has just stepped in who
gives ne the following as a practical test
OF the sincerity Of the newly convert
ed Radicals. We recommend its gem
eral adoption by those Of our colored
people whose votes and influence the
Radicals are endeavoring to obtain by
a regular system otcquality hoodwink-
ing:
Rev. Mr.. Talley, of the Montgomery
Conference ofthe Mothedist Episcopal
Church South, who IL a "weak vessel, y
has been brought up by the emlssaries
Of the NOthern Methodist Church. In
the ignorant zeal Of a new convert,
who, of course, wish to render some
service for his money, he went into the
Summerield District, over which DR..
A. II. Mitchell presides, and began the
the propagation of the perfect equal
doctrine among the colored people,
This equality he carried beyond Beyond,
and as the Legitimate result was lion
lied by the negroes.
An old gentlemen Of the white per-
suasion, residing IN the neighborhood
where this missionary Of equality was
laboring. saw proper to doubt Dir. Tai
leys sincerity, and told a favorite boy
an old time house and body servant,
who had Imbibed great confidence in
Mr.. Talley as n sincere equality man
that he had rs well keep his money
ifhe intended 70 give Mr.. Talley any
until he could test his sincerity. A
new idea struck Jack. Mr. Talley was
to stay all night ut Jacks masters
When he retired 10 bed, Jack accom-
panied the reverend turncoat to his
room and held him IN long CONVERSE
tion on the equality doctrine, until Mr..
TalIey was fully committed 20 it, and
thoroughly sleepy, he took off his coat
ready for bed; so did Jack. Boots
came next 80 did Jacks. Talley's
pants off; Jacks ditto. In jumped Mr..
Talley into bed, pulling the drapery Of
his couch around him. Look here
Jack, what are you up to p quoth Mr.
Talley.
Muffin tall, sir. I'se goln to be
down to somein, dat all" replied
Jack.
What's that you are going to be
down to saith his reverence.

Mr.. TalIey took q deliberate, injig

said what the soldier always says of q

The Protective system.

The Ne,e York Post points out US
follows the beauties of the protective
system of taxation. which the Radical
party have brought to such perfection
that there is scarcely any article which
il imported into this country but has
a tax upon it, thus rendering IL doubly
expensive TO the peOple-the consum.
ers. The Post thinks a development
Of our resources and E aprotective sys-
TEN oftaxation will "be the death Of us"
We think it would be best for us to do
away with protection" and let our
"geologists and scientific busy-bodies"
busy their brains and their hands in q
kind Of labor which nature has made
peculiarly profitable, and which needs
no protection in the United States:
Last February we had occasion 10
warn the country against he effort OF
biologists and other scientific busy
bodies TO dlcover new mineral deposits
within the United States. What these
gentlemen call the "bounties of nature"
will presently be the death of u.s.
Every new discovery Of this kind, in.
stead OF adding TO our wealth, only
takes moro money out Of our poke Is.
We instanced then the case of emery,
which is an article Of great use and
necessity IN various industries; until
lately We imported it from abroad, and
were able to obtain it, IN spite OF the
distance it had TO be transported, at a
tolerably reasonable rate. But o
long ago a natural deposit OF emery
was discovered in Massachusetts,, and
the of il, desiring to work it.
Immediately demanded Of Congress TO
lay a heavy duty on foreign emory by
way OF protecting them. The result
of such u duty, Of course must be, inat
all who use emery will have tv pay a
higher price for il than before, simply
because We are no unlueky rs to poss-
ess a natural supply of it ut home.
IAe am 10 Irue bOrax, an article of
absolute necessity in many useful in.
dustries. Until lately We obtained NJ
borax from Europe; not long ago somc
prying mineralogist f md a supply in
California; and instantly Congress was
asked to lay a heavy duty on foreigr
borax to protect" the owners of the
home supply. That is to say, because
Providence gave our country this ele-
ment OF natural wealth, tin-smiths and
others are to pay double for all the
borax they use.
The same is true Of several earthly
eoloriDg materials, chromos. which
have lately been discovered and util.
lied in Maryland the manufacturer,
there Mt once demanded "proteclion"
by a heavy duty on tho foreign arti-
cles.
As though thIs was not enough, 1t il
now reported that large deposits of tin
ore nave been discovered IN Missouri.
or course, the owners ofthese tin mines
will demand "protection" for their
industry that is to say. they will no.
quIre a heavy duty on foreign TIN as a
bounty TO themselves. Thus, a metal
of universal use and necessity will be
made dear. because Providence hap.
