to the voters Of the Fourth Congress

soundness or unsoundness of Col.
Heads plan, We cannot but think that
he committed a grave political blunder,
50 far as his own interests are con-
cerned, in springing a question which
must be passed upon by the General
Assembly of Tennessee and not by our
Representatives at Washington.

Nor for the sake of the national
Democracy merely, but for the whole
country, we have said it is necessary
that the Democracy should begin to
crystalline its views on finance and be
ready by 1876 to present a broad ma
tional policy, reconcihng the interests
of all sections so far as possible. on a
basis at once honest and ale
viatory. Next to stopping the
wholesale corruption that riots
in high places, the crying need
of all classes is an adjustment of the
national finances on so equitable ba-
sis that it will have some permanency,
and not require eternal tinkering. The
Democracy can best frame such
policy, because they have always advo-
Gated the principles on which 1t must
be based. Unless that party does
the work, We may founder
on the sea Of empiricism and
experiment for another decade.
Unless it presents such plan, it can
not gain more than an evanescent sue
cess IN 1876. As foreshadowing what
must be the main features of such a
policy, we have seen nothing to COM
pare with the speech briefly reported
by telegraph this morning of Samuel S.
Marshall, the Democratic Representa-
tive from the nineteenth Illinois dis
trict, and which We commend to the
thoughtful perusal Of our readers.

In number Of instances when successful
manufacturers, especially Of cotton goods,
here in New England, have, within the
past few years, been approached concern
ing the possibility Of establishing cotton
mills in the South, and making them pay
handsome dividend, the reply has been that,
although the theory was IN the main right.
and all looked plausible on paper, the
hoped for results could not be attained. be-
cause Of the impossibility Of getting labor
Of the right kind, and in sufficient quantity.

theories IS IN the results Of their applica-
