samuel ]. Randall

we are not to Be understood as de-
claring in our last issue that the distin-
puished Democrat whose name appears
At the head of this article is an unfit
man to be President of the United
States. On the contrary, We would re-
ioice as would every Democrat, and
many Republicans, too, if be could be
elected to that exalted position. But
we insist that Mr. Randall Joined the
enemy in the face Of battle" all the
same.
A large majority of the Democrats IN
the United States were in favor of the
passage of the Morrison bill, and any
reading person who does not know this
as well as we, is worse than blind. He
has the advantage, however, of that
other person who persists in trying to
create the impression on the public that
its passage would have committed the
Democratic party to the doctrine Of
"fFee trade"
What we charge against Mr. Randall,
and we are sustained by the record, Is
that he voted with the members of Con-
gress who favor protection for protec-
tion's sake" and they are, in the main,
Republicans; and that he voted against
a large majority of the Democrats IL
Congress, which majority fstvors a red"e
ton of the tariff duties.
1t makes no difference that the caucus
failed to adopt the bill; because, though
out of 10 members of the caucus hat
favored the bill, Mr.. Randall would hav
voted against it.
We appreciate Mr.. Randalrs posltio
and have not censured him for his vote
We have confidence in him and respee
: for him, and are entirely willing for hiI
, to act on his own judgment; but if it
happens that Mr.. Randall represents
/ district. or a State, which favors PR
{ lection for projections sake" and tt
5 great body of the Democratic party
: unalterably opposed to any such do
, trine, are we not warranted in sayir
e that he is not the man to be comPl
= mented seeing that he will vote wit
e the Republicans and against his par
Y associates rather than incur the dlspiea
+ ure of his constituents?
a His vote on the motion to strike Of
n the enacting clause was significant
Mr.. Randal's position on the tariff,
l. it was equivalent to declaration on
n part that he desired no tariff ,egislatI

/ The South is grateful to Mr.. Rand
1t for his patriotic services in her behalf

Rev. DR.. Stratton at the Northsr
Presbyterian Assembly.

The New York Herald on the oath Of
May, in its Geographic report OF ilt
Presbyterian General Assembly at sara.
toga, gives a synopsis Of the report o.
the committee appointed at it, last meet
ing, on cooperation with the Southern
church, and the reception of the delegate
from the South, the venerable JOS b.
Stratton, ID. d., of this city.
The committee say they Frequently
met with the Southern committee, ana
all their transactions with each Other
were characterized by a cordial and fra
ternal spirit. Matters concerning the
transfer Of the Danvillle (Ky.) Theolog'
ical Seminary were amicably discussed,
apd that institution is to be transferred
to the Southern church, and will proba'
bly, be removed to Louisville, DR.. Me
coils said the Assembly might regret that
so little had been accomplished toward
organized-reunion, but great advance,
had been made. A point of contact had
been secured with their Southern breIh'
ern, and in these daysof electricity every
body would understand what that slgnI'
fies. The first and hardest step has been
taken by both assemblies.
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
The Rev. DIR. Stratton, of Natches'
Miss, the Southern delegate, took hi'
formal leave. The scene was very I'M
pressive, the whole assembly standing
during his address and the moderator
response. The venerable visitor said Ms
heart was full to the brim. His anticr
pations of cordial reception has been
large, but the reality had far exceeded
them. The Christian love given him
would be borne as a precious treasure 70
his home and poured into the bosom oil
the church which be represented. In
voice tremulous with emotion he sara
bis going home was not final farewell
but simply an act of adjournment.
The assembly sang "Blest BE the lie
that Binds" DR.. Stratton offered fer
vent prayer, and Moderator Hays tod
him to say to his brethren they had gu,
sympathles, our love, our prayers, sn1
asked for theirs.
Another paper reporting the proceea'
lngs Of the same day says:
The most interesting action of the day
and one Of the most affecting events ever

TREATY WITH

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan 27.-It
is reported upon excellent author
ity that the Republic of San Do
mingo is about to ask for a COM
mercial reciprocity treaty with the
United States, if, indeed, the pre-
1iminary overtures have not al
ready been made through diplo-
matte channels. 1t is understood
that the proposition will embody
pricciple which is lacking in the
pending Mexican treaty ard that Is
now in force with the Hawaiian
Islands. This will be clause for
the benefit of American shipping,
to the effect that those articles of
commerce which may be admitted
duty free into the respective coun-
tries shall be carried in American
built or San Domingo built vessels.
The friends of American shipping
argue that this should be the fun
damentai principle OF all future
commercial treaties between the
United States and tho islands Of
this hemisphere, in order to assimi-
late their commerce with new coast
wise trade.
