to suppose that they should know what is
best for them; and that they do is proved by
the fact that they have just determined to
let their present protective representative
in Congress remain at home hereafter, and
to substitute for him a man who is in favor
of a tariff for revenue only. They know
that the existing high tariff is the only
thing that enables many Northern manu-.
facturers to overcome the natural disadvan-
tages oftheir location and to conduct profit.

that if the republicans of that Slate renomi.
mated Governor Rusk they would make the
fight against him on the ground that he
suppressed the so called labor riots there last
spring. The republicans. to their credit be
it spoken, have accepted the challenge and
renominatsd the Governor unanimously.
The welfare of every man who has any in
terest in this country depends upon the su-
premacy of law and the maintenance Of or
der. If the laws are unjust there is a speedy
and orderly way for the people to repeal
them. But as long as they exist they must
be enforced, if society and government are
to be preserved, and the executive officer
most rigorous in their execution deserves the
support, rather than the opposition, of every
right thinking citizen.
