WE FEAR that Col. Jones will over
reach himself in his desire to make
capital by having few bosses in some
of the mountain counties declare for
him for Governor, thereby leaving the
impression that those counties are unan
imOusly for him. Such is by no means
the case, for from what we can gather
he will not carry Morgan, at least,
when the proper day to instruct dele
gates arrives. May 9th is the day ap-
pointed by the constituted authorities
for selecting delegates and instructing
them or not as the people decide, and
any action taken previously is irregu.
lar and will not be recognized by the
Convention. Therefore let no one be
deceived when he reads that Morgan,
Magoffin and Menifee have declared
for Col. I. L. Jones or any other man
for Governor.

THE New York Herald remarks thai
the most remarkable speech yet made
on the tariff question in Congress wa
yesterday delivered in the Senate by
Mr.. Lamar. Mr.. Lamar rightly as
sumes that what the people want and
demand is a tightening Of the burdens
of taxation, but he shows that il is
impossible to effect reduction Of tax
alton and at the same time maintain q
high protective tariff. This fact is en-
tirely overlooked or willfully disregard.
ed by the republican protectiouisis,
who insist on considering the tariff,
not in its relation TO taxation and rev.
enue, but solely in its relation to man.
ufactures. Their one object is protec
ton to certain favored industries, and
they are determined to secure that at
the cost even of an increase if necessa-
~ of the burdens now borne by the
people. Senator Lamar's statesman
like views ought to be and doubtless
will be read by the masses, and par
ticularly by every laboring man
throughout the country. His speech
is a thorough expose of the protection
sham.

II will not help the republican par
~ If the congressional majority sue
coed in passing either Of the pending
tariff bills in the form in which the
subject stands in the Senate or in the
House. Neither approximate that re
duction of taxation and of bounties de
manded by the public. They will
stand in the attitude either Of having
refused to do what they we're com
manded to do, or Of neglecting to dc
il, as was commanded. The public
sentiment is clearly and decidedly
against any but moderate protection
from a revenue tariff. They will not
in either event as to most articles, and
these the most important, even ap.
proach the revenue standard. -[Cin.
