The distinction between fraudulent insolv ency and that which is brought abopt by the malpractice of others, is not made by the world in its cold-hearted ness, and in which the honest trades man is often overwhelmed and ruined. In either case the hard-hearted credit ors demand with a Shylock’s rapacity their pound of fiosh, rejecting all prom ises to pay, refusing to aid in retrieving a worthy debtor’s failing fortune, and by bis goading demands driving ofttimes to despair and ruin those be should have assisted. Men are not all of this character, however. There is still some humanity left; there are creditors who, actuated by the principles of the gos pel, when they find honesty coupled with misfortune, will stoop to raise the fallen one and encourage him to renew ed efforts. Verily, the righteousness of such exceeds that of t lie Scribes and Pharisees of the present day, many of whom perhaps make long and devout prayers, and are very devout and con sistent so long as they are not asked to contribute something or - deny them selves; bqt who would not hesitate to grind the face of honest poverty, if un fortunate enough to be his debtor for a bill of goods. Wliat is bankruptcy? Like some ghostly visitant it stalks abroad, felt though invisible, through business cir cles and into stores and dwellings, .with a powerful hand shutting up shops and vacating counting-house desks, labeling with the placard of “Sheriff’s Sale” the mansions of the rich as well as the humbler dwellings, of the poor; casting a shadow over happy households and rendering even childhood less joypus. Under its malign influence banks sus pend . and savings institutions close their doors against those who but yes terday entrusted all their hard earning.? to their safe-keeping. Penury and want often follow" in the wake of this shad owy reality as it passes through the land; the sick are unrelieved; the poor are left to beg or steal or die; the rich are reduced to poverty or instigated to deceptions in order to retain in their avaricious grasp a part of that which belongs to others. Such are the con sequences of bankruptcy. It cannot be disputed that in a great majority of cases it is the result of overtrading, of undue speculation or profligate expen diture; and yet this propensity for scheming and speculating with means that are not legitimately their own is winked at by business men, sanctioned by custom, and encouraged by those who would take advantage of their victim. But is there no remedy for all this? Yes. Pay cash for all you buy, and buy nothing that you cannot pay for. What right has one man to live in a palace, or drive a handsome carriage, or keep three or four servants, when he has not means of Jus own to support the establish ment? What right has a poor man to run up a bill at a dry goods store or grocery store when lie has no means to pay ? Here is where all the mischief lies. The credit system is an evil that has been for years entailed upon the community, until it seems a necessity in business circles; but it is like the vampire that sucks the blood of its vic tim at the same time it lulls him into a soft slumber. It is this that under mines credit, destroys confidence, dis arranges the wheels of trade, and floods the market with due bills and promisso ry notes. Once a man’s word was suffi cient to insure the payment of a debt; afterwards it required a written prom ise; then, as the paper transactions in creased in number and amount, and men found how convenient it was to give notes instead of paying cash, banks became more scrupulous, and men, too, losing confidence in each other, requir ed endorsements on their notes or ad- tional securities in the shape of collat erals or mortgages to make the promise to, pay effectual. The principle degenerates into fraud only when men resort to deception, and practice wickedness;—when they purchase without means or intention to pay; when they spend in personal business or extravagance what belongs to others. In the broadest sense of the term, a man has no right to buy for himself food or clothing even, much less the luxuries of life, if he has not the means of his own. If men resorted to no extravagance, all could live within their means. If a man whose income is only eight dollars a week knew that he could not buy on credit, he would soon learn to make his eight dollar last through the week. There would be no temptation to sppnd more than he earn ed. If a merchant knew that he could not get his spring or fall supply of goods without paying cash for it, he would manage to save during the year enough to make the purchase, or else would buy less. The direct result of all this * would be, that each would do a safe business. It might be smaller in vol ume, but it would be for cask Theme- in their business transactions, it would ; save them many a sleepless hour and troubled 'conscience OP CREDITORS. “If thou lend money to’any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt. thou lay upon him usury.”— Ex., xxii: 25. * “If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren, thou shalt open thy hand unto him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need.”— l)eut., xv.: 7, 8. “Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury for money, usury of victuals, usury pi anything that is lent upon usury.”—Deut., xxxiii.: 10. “Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.”—Matt., v.: 42. “And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye; for sinners also lend to sinners to re ceive as much again. But do good and lend, hoping for nothing again, and vour reward shall be great.”—Luke, vi.: 34. DEBTORS. “The wicked borroweth and payetli not again; but the righteous showetli mercy and giveth.” . “Owe no man any thing but to love one another.” Christians, let me exhort you to follow these simple precepts. Try the experi ment, if you have not already done so, and see if greater prosperity will not mark your career. To you it belongs to create and maintain a correct public sentiment. Let all your business trans actions, therefore, be conducted upon the broad principles of right, leaving the plausible theory of expediency en tirely out of view, and rest assured you will prosper in this world, and be at the same time laying up treasures in heaven, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. J. J. IT. Lodi, Ga. The old “Whoopee!” Democratic State of Virginia, the mother of States and atesmen, has, through her late State Convention, declared for protec tion.

Court. , because it is aggressive, fosters monop olies and is obnoxious to the interests of our people. “We favor raising revenue for the sup port of the Federal Government by a tariff upon imports limited to the ne cessities of the Government, economi cally administered, and so.adjusted in its application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage productive interest" at home’, the development of our mate- •1 1 J- . 1 frv rial products, and just compensation to tlie laborer, but not to foster monopo lies.” The Thieving Tariff. The tariff question has been one of momentous magnitude for men of vast and varied experience, who have made it a subject of special study; therefore, I am not so vain as to think that I can successfully measure swords with them. Nevertheless, I will give you some of my ideas on the same, taking issue with no individual, but with the question it self. There is something in a tariff for rev enue that will admit of argument. In a high protective tariff there is abso lutely nothing that can commend itself to a native, freeborn American citizen. It is a measure wholly un-American in its entirety—a measure that was in vogue even before the days of the feu dal ba rons, by a race of people who had their kingdom (if I may call it such,) entirely on the ocean and levied toll on all who came into or crossed their ter ritory. In the “Life of Benj. Franklin” there are whole chapters about the hard times and the scarcity of money. In those days this country belonged to England. Was England free trade then? If it was, why does Franklin give ac counts of the capture of smugglers, their trial and execution? Had the policy of the country been favorable to free trade would there have been any crime in, or necessity for, smuggling ? I will admit that a protective tariff was a good measure for the United State.-, in the country’s infancy; but are. the manufacturing industries of the country yet so weak as to need protec tion ? It has been a good measure, but its days of usefulness are over and it should be relegated to the past. Free trade, absolute free trade, would be the greatest boon that tlie South could ask What would be the result of free trade ? I will admit that it would temporarily close the majority of the manufacturing enterprises in the North; but the North- ern manufacturer, shrewd and cateula ting, would at once recognize tlie ad vantages of manufacturing facilities in the South, where most of the raw material used in cotton and iron manufactures is produc ed. Tlie saving of freight on the raw material alone will more than compen sate them for the loss of protection now guaranteed under the tariff laws. Biit that is not the only advantage that the South can offer them. Our rents are cheaper, our fuel is cheaper, our win ters are not half so long or severe, our laborers are more temperate and more tractable. There are numerous other advantages, but it would require more time than I have at my command to mention them. Give us free trade and the Northern manufacturer will gather up his belong ings and move Southward, where, with his native shrewdness and experience, he will soon have a larger and better paying business than ever. Factories and furnaces will then spring up all over the country and our bonny South land will fairly teem with prosperity. Then, indeed, will the South become a veritable Eldorado—a land that will literally flow with milk and honey. Will any sane man deny these advan tages? Admitting them, can he suc cessfully controvert them without turn ing advantages into disadvantages, and facts into fallacies ? have .....i uimci imo — pointed out to him, and to be told that, if he will abandon his business and adopt theirs, he, too, will get a share of the spoils. What he prefers is not pov erty or protection, but to be guaranteed the enjoyment of the inalienable right at A. J. Lyndon’s Drug Store. “Yes ” said Miss Popinjay, “I have a beau, but I have had him for five years. He is nothing but a beau of promise. .. to - his comfort. He *does not want to rob them or anybody else; in liis turn, lie does want the process of robbing him, dav by day and year by year, stopped. His prosperity will then take care of itself.. He is already the most industrious member of the com munity. He would be the most pros perous if lie were not required to-sup port the thousands of workmen who Now, Mr. Editor, if I had had the writing of those resolutions I could not have used language that would more fully represent my views, or the views of protectionists, generally, than is con tained in the two resolutions above; and if all the Southern States, like Vir ginia, would set up such platforms and demand of the next National Demo cratic Convention to do the same thing, then the candidate put upon it will be invincible. Protectionists wish to produce every thing in the country for which the God of nature has given us the raw material, or which is suited to our soil and cli mate. We are in favor of a protective tariff to secure to American citizens the privilege of supplying every article which can be produced as well in the United States in other countries, and sufficiently to supply American wants. Such a tariff makes a demand for and gives employment to the labor of Amer ican citizens, and thereby aids in secur ing just compensation for labor. They denounce a tariff for revenue only, and which demands an indiscriminate re duction in all duties on imported arti cles, the effect of which would be to encourage importation, thus giving American patronage to foreign produc ers and foreign labor rather than to our own. No industry can prosper by con verting its customers into competitors. Protectionists do not want a tariff be cause we have manufactories to which we wish to give a monopoly; but we have manufactories because we have had a tariff, and they still contend for a tariff that we may have more manu factories, so as to fully develop all our resources and supply all our wants bv home productions of all essential arti cles of consumption. Free trade, or any tariff that would not make the bal ance of trade in our favor, would be treason to American progress and pow er, because it would withhold employ ment from multitudes of men and wo men who work for their living, the profits of whose labor constitute the wealth of the nation. If the South does not discard the teachings of Mor rison, Carlisle and Watterson and adopt the views of Sam J. Randall, then the Democracy will be left in a hopeless minority; because the American people know which side of their bread is but tered, and will not consent to be turn ed out to starvation and bankruptcy by the teachings of men who are in sympa thy with Lord Derby and the Cobden Club. I assert, Mr. Editor, and none will contradict me, that the third resolution of the Virginia platform, which relates to the tariff, is the most explicit one and entirely devoid of duplicity or am biguity,) on that great question that has ever emanated from a Democratic Convention, State or National. There is no uncertain sound in it. It lias the ring of the true metal, and will triumph and abide. The principles of that reso lution, if carried out, will continue to add momentum to the progress, and strength to the power, of the United States already possessed in a considera ble measure, and make us the richest and most powerful nation on earth in the course of a few decades.

The infant (?) industries of the coun try are like the bull that the old Greek commenced to carry up the hill* when it was a calf, and each day until the bull had attained its growth the Greek staggered up the hill with his burden; and when fully grown he carried it just to see if he could. Now, such foolish ness is all Greek. The practical English style, after the protected industries be come grown, is to stop favoring them and harness them in the car of progress by placing them on an equal footing witli other industries, and employ the strength developed in the exercise of “toting” them to some more useful purpose. The strength of the country is being severely taxed to carry the great bur den that protection places on the shoul ders of the country, and it is high time that it be lightened A Farmer'i Physician. j.

Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution, is reported to have said to a New York reporter: “But of the tariff, you can say Geor gia, and Alabama, i'or that matter, will adopt the Virginia platform. AVe don't go much on the Kentucky plat form.” Now, if Mr. Grady has any license to speak for Georgia in this matter the people know nothing about it. The truth is, Mr. Grady has simply erred in making such a statement. Tlie people of Georgia are strongly in favor of reduction of the tariff. Mr. Grady, or the paper with which he is connected, is attempting to persuade the people that they are wrong. The people, howev er, are intelligent enough to know their own interest, and will try to work out their own salvation. Georgia and Ala bama will not adopt the Virginia plat form. Tlie people of these two sister States are*too Democratic to advocate such a doctrine. Virginia has gone wrong more than once, but Georgia and Alabama are Democratic to tlie core. Tariff reform will be unmistaka bly written in the platforms of both of these States. Give Them a Chance. That is to say, your lungs.

The liigh protective organs keep con stantly before the public mind the fact that the Northern States have grown rich and prosperous uuder protection, and urge that it is expedient for the South to take advantage of the same conditions to increase its industrial en terprises and grow rich from the profits which protection vouchsafes. In the first place, if every section of this broad country should embark in industrial enterprises, then there would be no special section on which to lay tribute as the North has steadily done to the South, but the injustice of legal ized robbery would be practiced on our neighbors and friends engaged in other lines of business. This would localize the injustice, and, as protection cannot increase profits in foreign markets, the country could not be enriched, as its effect would be to “rob Peter to pay Paul.” On this line the Charleston News and Courier has editorially probed deeply into the nation’s wound, and laid bare the question, as follows: “It is not a question of free trade and Ccgai notices- Letters of Dismission.
