PEACE DEARER THAN PARTY TRIUMPH.
From The LoaisciHe Courier-y0urHal
The nomination of Horace Greeley was not
meant TO be an arOnt TO the Free Traders II may be
fairly described as a lucky accident; and that 1t came
about not Of the c0ntvances Of the Protection
iss and the intrignes of the politicians but in spite OF
them is an evidence that tariff reform Is by no means
the one sole Issue which people are divided We do
not intend dscredt its pretensions In that part OF
the country which is allowed, under the blessing
OF God, to pursue its daily walks IN peace rev
enuc reform is pressing enough. With the peo-
pie of the North the tariff is the only pal
pable public grievance. The modification proposed by
The Free Traders the thing noedful. But at the
south il is different. Until placed squarey on
our feet we are incapable Of conceivng proposition IN
the ordinary mathematics OF domestic economy. The
Southern people care nothing about revenue REFORM
They believe and their belief springs from their neces-
stiles that the restoration OF the Southern states 10 ther
equal place in the Union is indispensable condition
precedent 10 their participation in the debates on Iarn
reform. They believe aud We share TINS Dehei WIN
them that If Free Trade should come tomorrow u
would be of service the South under It's present
Affections.
