DOXT TELL IT ALL.
The Free traders are making extraordina
ry efforts to influence public senriment in
favor of a reduction of our present tariff
rates at the coming session of Congress.
They tell a great many plausible stories, but
omit some very important and vital facts-
Thev (mint to our foreign trade and declare
that we are uot buying as much from abroad
as formerly, and ca 1 this evidi nee of a decline
of prosperity. But th-y forget to say that in
all seasons of free-trad.- we have bought far
more than we sold. They also omit to say
that in ordinary business, jf a man persists
in buving more than he sells, he comes at
last to bankruptcy. Every one knows that
this same rule holds good in regard to na
tions. We have fonnd it to be true in our
own experience. After every term of Dem
oc-arie rue in our history, when we have
had free-trade for a long time, we have had
also a financial crisis; in other words bank
ruptcy. The effect of our protective tariff
has always been to keep us from buying
more than we sell, and to change it to sell
ing m r than we buy? This has always
brought great and perm inent prosperity to
the who'e country. Every one knows that
the man who earns more than he spends
always saves the uifference and is on the
way to piospetity and wealth. It is just
the same with nations. While we had a
Democratic government and a low tariff
approximating free-trade, we continually
bought more than we sold, and got deeper
and deeper each year in debt to foreign na
tions. Since Republicanism has restored
the protective po'icv we have been gradual
ly- getting out of debt, hut we still need a
further improvement and increase in various
a-tie'es, so as to enable us to sell more than
we buy and get the balance oo our side.
Protection means selling more than we buy,
and thereby glowing rich. Free-trade for
u- means the spend thrift fault of buying
more than we sell, and puts us on the
straight road to bankruptcy. This is the
plain common sense of practical business
which all can com prebend. Let every one
bear them in mind when blalantfrec-traders
talk of thp beauties of their system.
THE prospect in Spain now is that the
Cortes wiil ebct Kin; shortly and that
the Duke of Genoa will be the ioeky man.
Republicanism must wait still longer. The
Spaniards are unequal to the work and un
worthy the reward of free in-titutions.
Taught by the experience of his immediate
predecessor, Isabella, the new king will
doubtless grant his subjects at least a short
time to get used to the uneasy- yoke from
which they have been free for some months.
The Puke is but sixteen years old and has
been a pupil of the English philosopher
Matthew Arnold. He is supposed to be
under the influence of Napoleon. The Re
publicans oppose him.
IN North and South Carolina only about
one third of the revenue on tobacco lias ever
been paid ; Virginia is but little better, and
throughout rhe whole South the officers of
the law are either evaded orre-i-ted to such
an extent that it is thought the military will
have to far called into requisition. The civil
officers refuse to a-s.st in enforcing the law
or punishing criminals. A little more re
coo-tiucrion is hadlv needed.
CONTESTING THE STATE ELECTION.— The !
ety of the cops that thry will contest the
State election is the wiide-t ab-urdity ever
heard nil of. Who ever heard of a contest
ed election in which iiwasuut di-covered
that the largest frauds were always cjuijiit
ted by copperheads? Nary contest. It's
ad the thinne-t k n-1 of gas.
GEN. BUTTERFIELD, Assistant United
States Treasurer at New York has re.-ieued
his office, and demanded an investigation of
his conduct. He is charged with being con

official conduct will be thoroughly investi

THE PATRIOT.
When the Ham-burg Patriot, undertook
to forestall public opinion by (firing what it
calls a "correct state of the case" in regard
to the Senatorial election in this district, it
should hare been so certain of its facts, that
neither a suppression of, nor an addition to
the truth would have been necessary to
make its point. Its statement that "the
member of the board froui Alleghany town
ship took with him the tally paper which
should have been deposited in the ballot
box, and left sealed in the box the certificate
of the election officers giving ibe number of
votes cast for each candidate," lacks this
very impoitant ingredient, viz: The afore
-aid certificate t cat devoid of the signatures
of any of the officers. The one now on file
in the Prothonutary's office having been
-igned on Friday night after the election,
when all of these election officers, the re
turn judge excepted, were functus officio.
Again, when the district return judges
met at Bedford, the regularly appointed
judge, knowing that a bogus judge—ap
pointed by a minority of five, was on hand
—demanded to know whether he was to be
tecognized as the proper Representative of
this county, before surrendering his returns;
being assured that he was so recognized, he
with a clerk nominated by him, took their
seats at the board, and acted with it. The
returns being pre-erred, in violation of their
sworn duty, the other two judges proceeded
to add to the official certificate from thi
countv, the vote of Alleghany town-hip
which had been rejected by the board ot
judges here, and upon that count, declared
Hir.m Fin-Hay clvotvd, and forthwith pro
ceeded to make out a certificate to that ef
fect, and the regular return judge from this
county refu-ing to be a party to this altera
tion of his own certified papers, and refusing
to sign a certificate thus obtained for Find
lay. it was presented to and signed by the
bogus return judge. Being thus outragtu
and dtceived, the regular return judge from
this county proceeded to foot up the duly
certified vote, and made out a certificate in
accordance therewith in favor of Mr. Scull.
Now, on this state of facts we suggest.
First, The board of return judges of this
county acted in a strictly legal manner, when
they refused to receive a tally paper from
Alleghany tewti-hip in place of the certifi
oate required by law. .Second. The tuinority
of return judges of this county had no legal
right to constitute themselves into a board,
appoint one of their fellows a district re
turn judge, or make out a certificate of rh<
vote cast in the county. Third, The judge
and one inspector from Alleghany township,
had no legal right to make out a certificate
such as is required by law, three days after
their official life had ended. Fourth, The
district return judges had no legal right to
add to, or take from the properly certifi-d
vote of this county. Fifth, The admis-ion
of two return judges from this county iuto
the meeting of district judges, was not ouly
illegal, but fraudulent and farcical.
These views being correct, Mr. Scull was
and is enti ltd to the certificate as a matter
of law and of right; but he as.-ents to the
proposition, that the voters of Alleghany
town-hip may not he disfranchised bccaus
of the gross stupidity of their el ction
officers, and there is a probability that the
proper committee of the Senate may so de
cide. and there being no other objection to
the legality of Mr. Fiudlay's election award
birn the scat.
Finally, M r. Scull is not personally anxiou
to hold a seat in the SeDate. He took the
nomination a few days before the election
mwk •V. V- r>Fnuv.rwnlina party rl'ffi/.ulliu,
and thus saving to his political friends a
district, which their numerical strength en
titled them to. Thi- is not a question merely
personal to Mr. Ftudlav and himself, but it
involves the rights of the voters of th-
Senatorial district. If Mr. Findlay is legally
elected, no one will more cheetfully concede
the fact than will Mr. Scull, but he will no
permit himself to be tricked into a f'als
position by the convenient return judges
from Fulton and Bedford, nor quietly sub
suit to misiepre-entatioo from the Harris
burg Patriot.—Somerset Herald and Whig.
