ISSUES THAT MAY BE LEFT TO THE PEOPLE.
from The Lgaehbugy Ytrgtn0n.
Our view is that the Cincinnati Convention
should ignore this question of tariff Mr. Greeley, who
recently proclaimed himself ferocious proteconist"
advises. Even in olden times when Wings and Demo-
Gratis disputed for supremacy found Southern Wings
opposed TO protective tariff, and Northern Democrats
decidedly tine other way. And, under the present
rangememts vi parties, we find Republicans and Republi
journals at variance on this question, THE TRIBUNE
being Protection, and The POSI- published IN the
city, an advocate OF Free-Trade. In the HewEneand
and Northern States generally the Republicans favor
high tariff while In the West they demand
unrestricted and untaxed commerce with the whole
world These facts show the folly Of permitting tho
Tariff question TO intervene ana prevent the hearty CO.
operation of all tie elements OF opposition to the corrupt
rousiy menaces the perpetuity Of the Republic. Mr.
Greeley has made great concession, great for him, IN
IS moro than We expected Of HIM; although We COM
mend the wisdom OF bis suggestion 10 leave It's settle.

Congress party platform would not settle this mat
