OF that State.

ia The course Of his speech Mr. Chandler,
| crl,iclHng TIE opposition OF the Democratic
party % pr0tcctionist ideas, said that the

| carry out the principle which they had In-
cornOrated INTO the Confederate Constltu-
lion, aud il meant the destruction OF all
| northern industries that were protected 10y
| the tariff system. They had nothing left to
/ kick, XIII. and destroy but the protective
| tsrH. That was the business in which they
and the President had been engaged for the
| last year. and Notwithstanding their Dad
/ luck, they still continue 10 make faces and
J 70 kick. MIR. Chandler went on 10 draw an
imaginative picture 81 the attack made upon
| the tariff by the President. mounted on a
/ charger; the Senator from Missouri (Mr.
/ VesU. similarly mounted, and the senator
/ from Texas (Mr. Coke mounted on a
| ''burro." The charge, be said, made by
/ these three knights OF modern Democracy
mon the protective system OF the United
/ States hsd been futile one. The principal
| knight had rolled in the dust, and bad
picked himself up and gathered himself into
| some SORT Of shape, very much bruised and
a little dirty, and would probably never
/ charge again With lance IN rest.
The American people by the elec,
/ ton Of Republican President had
cii,ctuallv protected the industries OF
! the country from the assaults which the
