How sincere LOGAN IA may be inferred
from what he says about the Chinese, who
are not voters. We quote:

He uses words 10 describe the Chinese

negroes; and LOGAN has the same opinion
Of the negroes that be expresses OF the
Chinese, as Is abuudantly proved by his
ante-bellum record. Most people consider

have no doubt LOGAN does.
But here is sentence x.hi; III Is an insult
to the Democratic party and at the same

"The Republican party came into exis-

institutions Of slavery IND polygamy."
Mr.. LOGAN was an uncompromisiEg De-

into existence" He knows that he utters

A correspondent OF the Petersburg IN
der. Appeal makes a good point as against
MIR. BLAME in the following paragraph.
After referring to Mr.. BLMNE's boast as
TO how much territory and how many mil
lions OF people living in this country tue
benefits of free trade were extended over,
the correspondent proceeds as follows:
"Uaye we in truth that free trade

or II not taxed themselves, the people who
use their products are? Can any Blaine

RICHMOND, VA, july u, 1851,
To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The position Of your journal is doubtless
sustained by the great mass OF people who
know the difference between free trade and
protective tariff; and the New York Sun
sagelv remarks that "nO President has
ever been elected as 4 frcc-trader.' The
nearest TO it was in the election OF Jane,
X. Polk against the great Harry Clay. In
the North the Democrats carried on their
banners, "Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff OF
1912 "a protective tariff. In the South the
Democrats did generally run on a free
trade basis. Besides this deusion, the
Plaquenines frauds Of Louisiana clec ed
the Democratic ticket. When the tarf o!
1912 was superseded by the Democratic
tariff Of 1876, nearly all tue northern De-
mocrats in the House OF Representatives
lost their seats chiefly on the tariff issue,
though conformity with the annexation Of
Texas with a slave representation. Ii the
southern white people knew their own
eternal interests they would not lei the
tariff or any other secondary matter divide
them. The one will be the momcntous is
sue rs long as southern JlcObins continue
TO organize The negro politically against
their employers. This is matter on which
white people cannot divide, and II they d.
