TI.p Memphis Appeal, which has had a long life of usefulness and is ,11 strong ind vigorous in good works, reproduces from its issue of My 2' 1843, forty'one year8 ag0' jhe following from the pen of James Polk, who was the Democratic nomii,r ,he Presidency, and was triumphantly chosen aUhe next elec tion : Your fifth auu" interrogatories ,r in the fblUwing words, to wit : iff j Ah -Are you in favor of a tar iff or direct taxes for support of the general government ?" "Sixth If a tariff, do you approve ofsucli a tariff as would gi ve protec tion 40 home industry agftinet foreign industry ?" I answer tlmt I am opposed to a ijsteni of direct taxation, and am in favor of a moderate srale of duties laid jr a tariff on imported goods for the purpose of raising the revenue which may be needed for the econom ical administration of the govern ment. In fixing the rates of a tariff my opinion is that Hie object in view should be to raise the revenue needed by the government, leaving the inter ests er'aged in manufacture to enjoy the incidental advantage which the j levy of such dutiesr will afford to them. If bv "giving protection to borne industry" yoaj mean to assert the distinct principle that a tariff b to be laid solely or in any extent not for revenue, but for the protec tion of capitalists who have made their investments in .manufacturing establishments, so as to compel the consumers of their articles, the agri culturists, mechanics, persons employ -red in commerce and all other p Ur iahs j to pay higher prices for them, then 1 say that I am opposed to such ji principle, and to any tariff which recognizes it. "Homo industry," terms so often used by the advocates of the protective tariff system, are comprehensive in their meaning, and by a just legislation should be made to embrace the industry employed in agrittulture, in the mechanic arts, in commerce and all other pursuits, as well as thft industry employed in manufactures. I have at all times been opposed to prohibitory or high protective iai iff laws, designed not for revenue, but to advance the inter ests of one portion of people employ ed iu manufactures by taxing another and much larger portion, thus mak ing the many tributary to the increas ed wealth" -of the few, I am opposed to the tariff' act of the late Congress, considering it to be in many respects of this character, and, indeed, so high ly protective upon some articles as to prohibit their importation into the country altogether. I am in favor of repealing the act and restoring the PACE'S WAREHOUSE ! UNION STREET, Is now opened and ready for business. We have one of the LARGEST and most COMPLETE Warehouse ever built.

F. joHSfSOa &, CO., compromise tariff act of March 2, 1833, believing as I do that it would produce more revenue than the pres ent law, and that the incidental protec tion afforded by the twenty per cent. duty, especially when this would be paid in cash, and on the home valua tion, will afford sufficient protection to the manufacturers, and all that they ought to desire, or to which they are entitled. This proves the fidelity of the dem ocratic party to its principles. As it was forty-one years ago, so it is to day, for revenue reform and opposed to even incidental protection. The Truth Well Expressed, ABheville Citizen. It matters not what enterprise may be started, or what hurt may befall or threaten an enterprise in this country, the first thing suggested is to apply to the general govern ment for relief or aid of one sort or another. The other day it was pro posed in the U. S. Senate to appro priate $50,000 to "encourage the silk industry of the United States." It was favored by some good men, and opposed by some good men. Mr. Ingalls, Senator from Kansas, in op posing it, said some splendid things, among which wa find the following, which bears on the general evil which is so seriously threatening the country by this, tons, very pernicious habit. Mr. Ingalls said : "The silk industry has attracted capita L for its development and it ap pears to be doing well and should be left to its own resources. The Gov ernment i becoming too paternal, too maternal, I may say. It reminds me of the couplet : "Who ran to catch mc when I fell f Who kissed the place to uiaks it well ? Mr Mother." - "We are turning the people into a race of self-dependent mendicants. We are depriving them of those man ly anil stalwart virtues that have made this nation great by this con tinuous attempt of Government inter ference iu all matters that ou;ht to be left to private enterprise and in dustry." Moonshiners in New York. Washington, May 28. The commis sioner of internal revenue has receiv ed a letter from Williamsville, N. Y., signed by Martin Schneider, saying: "Farmers will give you auotherweek to decide whether you will permit us to distill in small quantities or not. If not we will distill in spite of the government. We want you to dis tinctly understand that we will jsot submit to this extortion, which is a terrible outrage, aud we should resist h morally aud physically.

Write for special 1,013 JUaln Street, Bichmend, fiu this Rich and Poor Thieves. The poor scamp who picks a pocket or steals a piece of meat is a thief, if caught is brought before the bar f outraged justice, prosecuted by the ministers f the law, and, if guilty, sent to jail or the penitentiary, and society applauds the action of the court. If a rich man steals a million from a bank, breaks the bank and ruius thousands of good honest peo ple who trustingly placed their money in it, he is a defaulter, and if arrested at all is admitted to bait in a sum insignificant iu comparison with the amount he stole no, he didn't steal, only appropriated it and if not able to give the bond required, is assigned apartments in jail, orders his meals from a hotel, sees what friends he chooses to see, and with the excep tion of being permitted the freedom of the city, has a high old time, if he has any of the stolen appropriated money left to foot the bill. That's where the rich thief has the advan tage of the poor thief, and yet the poor thief is very frequently driven by waut and desperation to steal, while the rich one steals appropri ates money entrusted to his keeping not from want, but from the greed to add, by fraudulent speculation with other people's money, to the wealth he already possesses. Fred, Ward, the partner of the Grants, is now in Ludlow street jail, in New York be cause unable to furnish the bond re quired, and occupies the apartment that Boss Tweed occupied during his stay in that establishment, his daily meals being sent to him from a hotel, and his friends coming and going at pleasure within specified hours. These apartments are comfortably fitted up, with carpeted floors, good beds, nice furniture, and all the appointments to make temporary confinement as pleas ant as possible for distinguished cul prits. When squandering other peo pie's money Ward lived in royal style and his entertainments at his palatial abode in Brooklyn were marvels of elegance and splendor. He does not put on quite so much style now, does not entertain so lavishly, but he is comfortably housed and lives well. James D. Fish, the ex-president of the collapsed Marine Bank, charged with "appropriating" to his own use near 1 v a million and a half of the funds of the bank of which he was president, was somewhat more fortunate than Ward, and though broke, was able without trou ble to give the $30,000 bail boud re quired, and continues to enjoy his usual freedom. John C. Eno, New York, sunk the bank of which he was president $2,000,000, which his father made good j he then had a check cashed by another bauk for $95,000, ai d is now supposed to be summering in Canada. Kiddle, the president of the Penn Bank, of Pittsburg, sunk that concern to the amount of about $2,000,000, and is still at large. President Brown, of a bank at Hot Springs, Ark., got away with about $40,000 of the bank's money, and the last seen ef him he was bidding an affectionate farewell to a woman with whom he had abandoned his wife aud children. He is still at large. These are but a few of the instances that might be mentioned of recent oc currence, and the probabilities are that not one of the entire gang will suffer the penalty that ought to at tach to their crimes, Daniel O'Connell once said in the House of Commons that there was no law ever enacted by the British Par liament that a "coach and four could not drive through with impunity," and it might be said with equal truth that there is 110 law in this country that the man of wealth can net violate with impunity. The conviction and punishment of a rich man for crime is an event so rare as be almost mar vel Ions. We'do not say this to array, nor to pander to any class prejudice that may exist, for there always will be and always must be in all civil ized society rich aud poor. The bad men in both are the exception, not the rule, and consequently the excep tion should not be the foundation for prejudice against all. But it is a fact that, through the working L.e A SALISBURY. N. C, HLU3SS4. - - kosjt of the law and the courts these days, with defective indictments, shrewd counsel, the law's intricacies, statutes of limitation, corrupt juries, etc., etc., the rich man walks into the courts defiantly, when arraigned, and walks out triumphantly. It is a fact, and this fact too patent to be denied, has done much to shake confidence in the courts, or in justice as administered in these days, when the "almighty dollar" it so potent in its influence. Char. Observer. In Favor oe Negro Equality in the Schools and Churches! The General Conference of the Meth odist Church (Northern) at Philadel phia last week adopted a resolution declaring that negroes ought not to be excluded from white schools and churches. There had been long dis cussion of the subject, and it was left to a committee, which brought in a majority and minority report. The latter declared that the negro had a right to equality, but that there was no need to interfere against the pre judices of the Southerners. This was submitted to the Conference, aud a standing vote resulted in a "tie." Governor Robert Pattison, of Penn., a pretended Democrat, (!) gave the deciding vote against the mild rpport and in favor of full "equality." Thus a church representing millions of people declares for negroes iu our white schools ! Burnside Arrested. Washing ton, May 29. This afternoon Col. Burnside, the postal disburing clerk, was formerly arrested upon a war rant charging him with the embez zlement of $45,000, and was brought in the police court for examination. After a short consultation between his counsel and Jere Wilson, and the district attorney, the latter stated that defendant would waive exami nation aud give bail for his appear ance before the Criminal court and that the government would ask to have the bail fixed at $45,000, the amount of the defalcation. Wilson contended that the bail was excessive, but after some argu ment the court decided to require the amount named by the district attor ney and said that the counsel could petition the Criminal court for an abatement. Accord iug to the N. Y. World, the Union League Club furnishes the the most, if not all, of the delinquent bankers and brokers who figured in the ugly Wall street revelations of two weeks ago. The roll of the lame ducks, who were all members of the Union Club, shows the names of President Fish, President Eno, Pres ident Seney, President Dodd, of the Newark Bank, President Hatch, of the Stock Exchange, Ferdinand Ward, Geu. Grant, and the brokers, Messrs. Bogart & Fish, brother of Clinton B. Fisk. All these were shin ing lights of the Union League Club. And most of them figured last week in the Big Business meeting in New York City, holden for the purpose of bolstering up Arthur. Pearls of Thought. Neither praise nor dispraise thy self, thine actions serve the turn. He may well be contented who needs neither borrow nor flatter. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. A crown of gold cannot cure the headache nor a velvet slipper the gout. Prosperity tries the human heart with the deepest probe, and draws forth the hidden character. When you are guest to the wolf, see that you have a hound with you. Happiness is like an echo, it an swers to your call, but does not come. Eu;y is a vice whioh keeps no hol iday, but is always iiithe wheel, and working its own disquiet. One dies twice ; to cease to ljve is uothing, but to cease to love and to be loved is an unsupportable death. Home is the true nurturing ground of hearts woman's kingdom aud mother's earthly paradise. Knowledge invests us with grand and glorious privileges, and grants to us largeness of beatitude. How to Prevent Fires. The following simple precautions if strict ly followed would prevent a great many destructive fires. The rules might be posted in every store, dwel ling and factory with good results : The leading causes of fires are ker osene oil, matches and furnaces. 1. Always buy the best quality of oil. 2. Never make a sudden motion with a lamp either in lifting or set ting down. 3. Never place a lamp on the edge of a table or mantel. 4. Never fill a lamp after dark, even if you should have to go with out a light. 5. See that the lamp wioks are al ways clean and that they work freely in the tube. 6. Never blow out a lamp from the top. 7. Never take a lamp to a closet where there are clothes. If necessary to go to a closet, place the light at a distance. 8. Use candies just as much as pos sible iu going about the house and in bed rooms. They are cheaper, can't explode, and for very many purposes are just as good as lamps. 9. Matches should always be kept in earthen jars or tin boxes. Georgia Factory Girls. The president.of one of our manufacturing corporations is reported to have re cently said to a newspaper man in Augusta, Ga., who interviewed him in regard to the subject : "Carolina girls are the best cotten factory oper atives in the world. They are not afraid to work, and the first thing which strikes the attention of visiting business friends from the North is the superior appearance of my operatives tall, shapely, well-poised heads, and faces which would do for moulds of beauty. They areas ladylike at the hearthstone as they are proficient at the loom. They are all under the salutary influence of home and church relationship, and are a class of whom any nation should be proud." His Answer. 'What was all that scuffling about, down stairs ?" Asked Mrs. Hillboots, as her lord and master strode into the room. 'Nothing except that monkey-faced dude asking for Sarah Ann." 'What did he say?' 'Oh, he began by saying he was speaking from the bottom of his heart and so on." 'And what answer did you give?' 'I grew spasmodic too,' answered Hillboots, gently tapping his little augelic, number twelve shoe, "and gave him an answer from the bottom of my sole." From all over the South comes the most flattering report of progress and new enterprises. We are sure that no year in the history of the country has seen as much building as the one just past, and the present one promi ses still more. Crops have been good, manufacturing prosperous and the large amount of money received therefrom has gone into new enter terprises and improvements ; besides this, large amounts of northern and foreign capital have come South for profitable investment. The Artisan. To Destroy Red Ants. Grease a plate with lard, and set it where ants congregate; place a few bits of wood so the ants can climb on the plate easily ; they will forsake any food for lard ; when the plate is well covered with them, turn it over a hot fire of cords ; they will drop into the fire, and you can then reset the plate for another catch. A few repetitious will clean them out. Ferdinand Ward, Graut's wicked pait ner, docs not inted to be a silent mart jr.

It is said that the Geueral ern now looks like an old man. In connection with this it may be interesting to know that the House committee has not rnshed through the bill to put the General on the retired list aud it will probably not be acted on this summer.
