upon the subject that we copy il with.
out comment:
'YOu have an undoubted right to stop
a newspaper whenever you are dispos-
ed, upon payment of all arrearages. Do
not hesitate to do so on account of any
Tenderness of feeling" for the editor.
Dou't you suppose he would stop buy
Ing sug,r Of you, or meat, clothing, dry
goods, &C., &C., if he thought he was not
getting his moneys WORTHY And when
you discontinue paper, do so manfully.
Don't be SO pitiiul as to throw it back
to the postmaster with contemptuous,
don't want it any longer" aud have
refused" written on the margin, and
have the paper returned to the editor.
No gentleman ever stopped his paper in
that way, no matter if his head is COW

honorable. Ii you do not wish longer

the editor like man, saying so-and

danger of reputation, or Of possible
violent struggles for power and Office,
it is well to convert Government
bonds into railway securities. Whe-
Their dividends be paid to sharehold-
ers or not, the interest on first mort
gage bonds is always paid. Thus we
find that Col. Porter encountered NO
difficulty in effecting negotiations by
which the Memphis and Iron Noun
tain Road will be constructed. Even
those roads most reeklessly managed
never fail to provide for the interest
coupons of their first mortgage bonds.
The day is not distant when bonds OF
this character will be preferred to
Government stocks, for the simple
reason that they are liens upon real
estate, and in~destructible fixtures. Not
only will railroad securities of this
character be preferred to all Others, but
the fact will cause railway lines to be
rapidly multiplied. The Government
is no longer a borrower, and the sums
of money seeking this sort of invest
ment will be constantly greater. If
Congress remit fifty or one hundred
millions of taxes, the sum will mainly
be devoted to the construction of rail-
ways. Therefore it is that Memphis
need only grade the road to Holly
Springs, and Eastern capital, through
a mortgage, can be drawn hither to
pay for the iron. Very speedily the
continent will be striated with rail-
ways crossing each other at every
possible angle, and this becomes the
richest country on the globe.

THROUGHOUT the North and West
the tree trade doctrine is making
rapid progress. Leagues are forming
everywhere. Even manufacturers
now begin to join them. AT a meet
ing at New Haven, Connecticut, Mr..
Charles Atwater, a prominent manu-
facturer, presided, and Governor En-
glish, DR.. Woolsey, President of Yale
College, Professors Bacon and Gilman,
Mayor Fitch, and Hon. Charles Ives,
were present with Professor Perry,
and the students in force-aIl jealous
for free trade. At Troy, N. Y, Pro-
lessor Perry spoke, and a large num-
Der of the members of the legislature
were present, DESTROYS to look into
the subject, and a league was formed.
General BFinkerhOf has been stump
ing Michigan and great progress is re-
ported at Jackson, Kalamazoo, Battle
Creek, Niles, and other points. Pro-
lessor Evans of Hamilton College, N.
Y, an accomplished political ecOno-
mist, is lecturing in western New
York, with success, and Mr.. Gage
in New Hampshire. The Republi-
cans, as well as Democrats and Labor
Unionists, are engaged in the move
ment. The free trade league has
agents of distinction at work vigor-
Ously in Chicago, st. Louis, Cincin-
natl and other places. Complaints
are rife in every quarter on account of
the depression of trade brought about
by the rUinOus tariff. At Harvard
College the teacher Of political econo-
my is a protectiOnist. But the stu
dents are free-traders, and with the
young men free trade principles are
in the ascendant. In Wisconsin, also,
the people are moving, and in a me-
mortal to Congress having thousands
of signatures, declare that "the peo-
pie are compelled to pay more for free
trade than for revenue" and that
while we willingly acquIeSce IN any
system of equal taxation to meet the
wants of the government, we are OPP
posed to all taxes for the benefit
of certain classes" In Minnesota,
where wheat is down to thirty cents,
and in parts of Ohio, where the OPP
preston of protecting tariff regula-
tons are most severely felt, free trade
is making rapid progress. Discus
siOns are growing more and more
frequent, and the protectionists before
the people are routed " horse, foot and
dragoons."- The doctrine of revenue
for protection cOnnOt live in the West.
To pagan honest debt the people may
bear oppression, but to foster monOpo-
lies and enrich classes, they will not
submit to have their interests tramp
led down a great while longer. By
the system OF tariffs for protection, in
stead of tariffs limited strictly to the
necessities of revenue, the masses are
the sufferers, and they will resist.

where Radical mobs, he knew full
well, would take good care of his gall
liant adversary. 1t was regarded at
the time, by all fair-minded men from
everywhere, as a cewardly ~subterfuge
on Burlingame's part. The editor OF
the State Journal, who republishes this
slanderous article, knew that there
was not one word Of truth in it, so far
as Preston Brooks was concerned.
Until very recently bought up, he
boosted, that although born in New
York, he had not one drop of Yankee
blood in his veins; that he was a Cal
houn Democrat, and served four years
in the Confederate army. 1t may be
treason, Mr.. Editor, to make war
upon the United States government,
but it is not treason to defend the rep
utation of our fallen comrades

sary, on the street and on the field.

AS it would hardly do to turn Ten
nessee out of the Union at the expense
of turning out Brownlow and Smith,
who are equally representatives of the
people, it is now suggested that the
plan that will be adopted in Washing
ton is to pass and enforcea law of Con-
gress requiring anew registration, and
after that an election for Governor and
Legislature, to take the place of the
present incumbents. The idea is to
disfranchise voters enough to give con-
troll to the Radicals, and the plan has
been. steadfastly followedup ever since
Senter was elected. Washington cor
respondents intimate the probability
of its being carried out. In order to
secure to Tennessee, and all the States,
a Republican form of government for
ever it would be well for Congress to
require that no State should remain
a member of the Union a day longer
than it voted for and cordially sus-
tanned Radical men and measures.
