Another, “dependent pension
bill,” similar to the one passed

Senator Frye of Maine, m bis
speech against the President's
message boldly asserted that the
tariff duty instead of increasing,
actually diminished the cost of
the article to the consumer. Ti e
cause of protection must* indeed
be in a bad way when its ailvo
cates and defenders have nothing
bolter to offer in its support.
Maeon Telegraph: The position
ol three or four Democratic papers
in Georgia is thus described b\
the Charleston News and Courier:
“The’moonshiners’ of North Geor
gia must be protected, though
every man, woman and child in the
Stalo ssffer from live exactions of
the protective tariff, which robs
alike the cradle anil the grave.”
Col. Northern.“president of the
State Agricultural Society, is al
ready al work in the interest of
the Stale Fair. He has been eon
ferring with the railroad nuthori
ties for the purpose of seeming
free transportation for plicate ex
id bits. The fair last year was
perhaps the tcost sueeessful one
ever held in the State, anil Col.
Northern shows by bis early ac
tion that lie intends to make this
year's fair excel all previous ef
forts of the kind.
The republicans of the North,
bemg'no longer a Life to control the
negro vote of the South, so as to
keep themselves in cilice, has re
solved to banish him from the
country. The latest scheme is to
send him to South America; but
if the leaders in this movement
were sincere, the scheme would
fail, because the colored people .- s tieg tqua lj y as I(0 j nl( .(l and
a mass do not desire to leave.
Dr. Hayguod evidently staled the
truth w hen he said in his book,
on “Our Brother in Black,” that
the “negro is here to stay.” And
why not stay here? He is among
his best friends.
It is tnnl improbable that the
great Panama canal enterprise
will have to be abandoned tor
lack of funds to carry on the wotk.
Count DtLesse-ps, however, is
still confident ot stive ess, not with
standing the refusal of the gov
eminent to endorse bis scheme
for raising money. It would be a
pity for the enterprise to lail now,
aa a large portion of the work
lias already been accomplished,
and the many millions of dollars
expended would lie a total loss.
The government should come to

An immense tariff reform meet
ing was held in the city of Phila
delphia last week for the purpose
of endorsing the recommends
tions of Presidents Arthur and
Cleveland. It was said- to have
been the most successful demon
stration of the kind ever held in
that city. Air. Breckinridge.nl Ken
lucky made no eloquent address
which was vociferously applauded.
Resolutions endorsing the views
of President Clevtlaad, as set forth
in his late annual message to Con

was composed largely of manufac
Itirers and btisiucss men of the

The great free whisky organ of

and mendacious assertions to de
ceive the people. Fair and manly
and straightforward discussion
would avail them nothing, and
their only lio|>e lies in wilrul and
unscrupulous misrepresentation.
The Atlanta Constitution has had
the astounding hardihood to as
sert that the democratic party
had its very origin in an organtz
eil opposition to internal revenue.
This opposition, led by Thomas
Jefferson, after a vigorous and
bitter campaign, was successful,
and thus the great party of the
people had its . beginning. But
nobody w ho is at all familiar with
the history of the United Slates
can be deceived and imposed upon
by such false statements. A
cause must he weak, indeed, that
refuses to recognize the truth,
and seeks to be bolstered up by
false .pretenses. What were the
issues upon which Air. Adams
was defeated, and .Mr. Jefferson
elected to the Presidency of the
United plates? It is well known
that this great contest was wag
ed, and fortunately for liberty,
was waged successfully, upon the
principles involved in the Alien
and Sedition Acts which had
been passed and were supported
by Air. Adams anil his ailminis
n ation. These acts violated, and
were intended to suppress, the
freedom of speech anil of tin-
press, and were justly regarded
by the common people as a long
stride in the direction of centrali
zation and despotism. They gave
rise to the famous Kentucky and
Virginia resolutions of 1798 which
were written by Jefferson himself,
auil which contained the funda
mental principles of the demo
cratic party, upon which every
Piesident from Jefferson to Buch
anan was elected. Instead oflu
ternal taxes being the issue upon
which the democratic patty’ was
organized and upon which it
rose to power, it Was not an is
sue at all. It was uot a uteri
question ol fiscal or revenue poll
cy that brought Air. Jefferson to
the front as the great leader ol
the people, but it was a moment
mis constitutional question, in
voicing the powers of Congress
and the reserved rights of the
States.
Alexander II. Stephens in his
History of the United Stales, anil
Jefferson Davis in his Rise and
Fall of the Confederate Govern
ment, both inform us that oppo
sition to the Alien and .Sedition
Laws was the basts of the contest
for the l’resideney in 1809, which
resulted in the triumphant elec
tion of Mr. Jefferson. We could
no doubt produce other autbori
ex
plicilupon this matter ol history,
but we think that Jefferson Davis
and Alenander II. Stephens are
quite enough to overbalance the
Atlanta Constitution. We repeal
that the advocates of a cause
must be reduced to the most des
perate extremities, when they un
dertake to maintain it before an
intelligent public by misrepre
srntation and falsification of bis
lory. It is said by some that the
“end justifies the means,” but we
do not subscribe to that maxim of
casuistic philosophy. We regret
to say. however, that it has be
come very popular in certain quar
ters, and is being used lor all it
is worth; while that other maxim,
"honesty is the best policy,” lias
been repudiated as unworthy of
this age of progress.
lion for Ike last twenty five years,
it would doubtless appear that
patriotism was an extinct rirloc
in this country. But it seems
that there is one patrior in the
land, al least a man has been
found who says that he believes
in patriotism. We were so glad
to hear it. It bail the happy ef
fect of reviving the languishing
hope which has been lying pros
trate in our heart so long concern
ing the future of our republic.
This man’s name is Ki leu wood,
and be bas taken the trouble to
wiile a letter to the Atlanta Con
alilulior.. in which he actually
says he is “a protectionist not be
cause any one else is, but from
paliiotism.” Is it (sissible! Air.
Ellenwooil you must lie joking
We are absolutely astonished al
such a wonderful exhibition of
independence auil originality!
•T love my country better than
I do the democratic party, or any

the patriot, will lie against it, and
with such formidable opposition,
defeat will be inevitable. The
crisis has come, but who would
have thought even two weeks ag"
ibst “patriotism” is the issue up
on which tiie conflict is to be wag
ed? Air. Ellenwooil deserves pro
motion, and vre suggest that lu
be engaged as a staff editor for
the Constitution, as he tsadmira
bly ami preeminently qualified
tor the position by the breadth
and comprehensiveness of his
views, and the exalted character
of his patriotism. “We have" says
Air. EilenwooU, a IrcmendouB na
tional debt to pay,” and patriot
ism requires that the money to
pay it with, shall be raised from
taxation upon llic necessaries ol
life, and that while we are strug
gling under this burden, we shall
have plenty 'of free whiskey to
drink. Isn't patriotism a funny
thing. “We had hrtter have a
surplus in the United Slates treas
ury than any thing I know of.”
Here is originality again, and it
evidently unfits Air. Ellenwoul for
political nfliliation even with the
bl^i-k republican patty, for they
believe that the surplus should
be disposed of. Viewing this re
markable letter in all its hearings,
we cannot hut arrive at tiie con
elusion that Air. Ellenwooil is just
too patriotic to live in this selfish
age and country. His case is
hopeless.
