BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE. -
From the N. Y. Herald. |

From the N. Y. Herald
The democrats look upon their defeat in New
Hampshire as IA blessing in disguise" and they
are prepared to rejoice over similar blessing in
Connecticut. They remind ua of the JOHNNY rebs,
when they begun to rejoice over the loss of Saw
annah, Charleston and other places up to Will
mington, as BLESSINGS in Disguise" They re-
mind US, too, of the North Carolina tar heel
who gravely remarked that, latter all these bles
sings in Disguise for my part, 1 should like to
have one without disguise, just for change
HOW AMERICAN COMMERCE MAY BE RESTORED
from the N. Y. Trlbune.l
II we went beyond making foreign-built ships
free-if we not merely made free all the materi-
ais that enter into the construction of ship, but
in addition paid our ship-builders bounty per
tun for the tonnage built-that would not re-
store American commerce. It is not ships that
we want, cheap or dear. What we need and
most nave is foreign and domestic demand
for American ships. What you need is not cheap
ships, but demand for American ships. Nothing
can give us that save revenue duties which
largely discriminate in favor Of goods imported
in American-built vessels that, and still better
aw,which shall force the importation of foreign
goods in Amercan-built ships, under penalty OF
forfeiture of ship and cargo.
REPUBEcANIsM AND DEMOCRACY ILLUSTRATED.
From the N. Y, Times
Yet the Democracy in this State, within five
years, has produced a servile Executive, series
Of venal Legislatures and VIGOROUSLY corrupt
Judiciary, as well as City Government Of the
most scandulous character The Republican
Party has given us an honest Legislature, has
broken up the scandals of the City Government
will turn out the unjust Judges and has neutral,
lied the evil tendencies of the Executive. Can
not the people apply the lesson TO their national
affairs
THE PRESENT STATUS OF OUR RELATION WITH
ENGLAND.
From the n. Y. Herald
This statement Of the Premier and the Peer
for the British nation goes to prove that the
Alabama claims correspondence is not by any
means terminated between the governments Of
England and ths United States that the views
OF the two Cabinets are not exactly in accord
with respect to the general hearing and treat
ment of the matter that the British people are
anxious as to the issue and that John Bull ii
exceedingly we'll disposed to fall back minis
terially at least at any suitable moment on thai
the "honor Of the country" and its maintenance
PROTECTION THE FOUNDATION OF ENTERPRISE
[From the Tribunel
within the past five years by the aid of a Pro.
tectiye Tariff, our mills, after a hard and noble
struggle, have beaten Europe. How? In the
first place, England began with Tariff on sill
more than twice as high as ours. She built W
her mills under Protection. Wedone the same
and, in the second place. we have succeeded in
bringing to our own mills for the manufacture
of fabrics better and more marketable threads
than Europe can supply. So that our system
not sonly gives us greater division of labor
supplying many distinct employments to differen
sorts of people, but it gives Manufacturers the
chance to make goods of even quality.
