the rciult of hi artiou in ihi premutti at thJ ruxt meet
tng.of thiiCommitWu, to be Jutd on thu day of
Hh.0 Republican and tho Tariff.
Evidently the Republican, publL-hed by
Dr. John, docs not know what it h talking
abont, on.acrtaiu occatious. In tho last
issue of that astufri sheet, an attempt is
made to provo, not only that tho Black
Republican party is tti tariff party, but
that the Democratic party is iu favour of
frjo trade. How docs this falsifying sheet
endeavour to. provo this last 1 Why, by
quoting a resolution adopted at tho last
Democratic National Convention, which
says, "the time has come for tho people of
tho Unitedi States to dcelaro themsolves in
favor of froo seas, and of progressive free
trale throughout the world.''
Now,' what docs thi3 resolution, mean 1
Why, simply, that tho peoplo of these
United States should abandon tho tariff
system whcucvcc tho same should cease to
be profitable to. them. To say that we
ar in favor of ''progressive free trndo," is
only to say that we are iu favor of no high
rr tariff than i3 necessary , that we are iu
favor of lowering it from time to- time, as
may be profitable to us; but it is not by
any mean3 saying that the Democratic
paity is in favor of i lowering tba tariff
without reference to the pkoohebs of tho
age, and to tho interests of ourpcoplo.
Tbo Rtpuolivm atks, why, did not Mr.
Entgct up in the National Convention
and offer a tariff resolution ? Ricss your
simple soul, Doctor, beoauic tho resolution
on the subject, already offered, suited him

ixcsoivea, mat while the division winch
at present exists iu the Democratic party,
is sincerely to bo regretted, yet having
unshaken confidence in its principles, which
principles wo believe to be eternal as trnth ;
and having equal confidence, notwithstan
ding the sectionalism which exists in cer
tain portions of tho Union, iu the integrity
of tho peoplo f wo are as ready now, as
ever before, to meet tho common enemy iu
whatever guise hs may assume, trustiug iu
tho right, and confident of victory.
Jltsolveil, That tho action of the Stato
Committee, at (J reason, iu the formation of
a Union Electoral Ticket, in this Stato,
meets our henrty approval ; and it is the
obvious duty of all Democrats to rally to
its support.

patriotism and integrity and the desire
of so large a portion of the Democracy to
