We undertake to say two things: .; . . .' i .- First," that the country fori the' last thirty years would have exhibited' the most astounding growth and; ma-' terial progress if the Government- had been -under, the control alii the time of either the old anti-war Dem-" ocratic party or the old Whig party: or any other party. We; mean by this to assert that the'immense immi gration, the tremendous advantages, ;tbe vast unoccupied lands, the great . productiveness of the United States would have insured the most marvel-; lous progress whether the country ; :had been controlled by one parity tnr 1 another, by one system of political economy or another. We assert: s I Second, that the greatest progress i yet made in this country in jgjterial prosperity was made under the Dem ocratic Low Tariff, between 1846 and I860. .We have shown this before from the statistics of ' the country, and we will show it again, and pos sibly n our Tuesday's issue; iif we can lay our hands on the needed doc uments " ' j ' I ; If'we can clearly show from in contestable authorities that the great progressive period . of the J "United was really under a Low Tariff then Mr Blaine's very specious argument falls to the ground. i ' . (' But whether - or no we can show this fanrl wfe know we panV teTrit2iuuu lUB wuunucu umu- wttB J this, (and we know we can then 11 ae mlddle of McRae Blreet ju9t north of remains to be said that the vast in crease of the population since I860 is the real cause of the rapid develop ment of the material products of the country. In 1860, tbe population was thirty-one millions in round num bers. In 1880. it was fifty millions. The population in 1884, is estimated in New York at fifty-seven millions.' So we may look to the vast and rapid growth of population Bt the real source of the wondrous material progress.""' " .-"-:! -.. .. Mr. Blaine dwells on the rapid ;de-; velopment of agriculture under the High Tariff. He would be as fair and truthful if be had said that , tbe cause of tie tides is the Republican War Tariff. He points to Illinois to show how the products of agricul ture have developed in the w.enty years' between, 1860r-1880. In I860 Illinois bad 1,7,11,950 inhabitants; n 1880 jt I bad 3,077,871. .Tere is the true cause for the vast increase in productions. He points to Iowa.: In 1860 the population was 674,93; in' 1880.it was 1,624,615, or nearly three times as great. ' And so with all of the greai States. It was pot the High Tariff that filled the land with - white people and . -multiplied productions but ; the growth and rospe'rity have been in spile of the burdens and drawbacks of the Tariff. Then ' again, " in considering tbe tremendous growth in. the , agricultu ral productiveness of the country,wO must not lose sight of. the very im portant fact that the invention of uiuor-puvifty iiucuicry uaa nau . a great deal todo in multiplying the numher of bushels of-grain, &c., pro duced. 'Mr. Blaine is "not fair. He is very plausible. He manipulates his supposed facts and presents them in smooth, agreeable, pleasant style. . He places his whole argument pret ty much; upon 'the real or fancied V benefits of the Tariff . He resorts to statistics .to show" what it has done. He must be followed into the statisti cal field,7 Hfi tries to make his readers believe that the vast growth in values is to be credited to the War Tariff, He says daring the twenty years 1 1860;80 the increase in. the "wealth of the Nation,' and he spells it after therrae. consolidation style, with a big N, has been 30 thousand millions. This may bo true as to the develop, men t,' but not true as to the : cause In; the' twenjty j years nearly twenty millions' of people-of workers, have been added to the population. He gives the , War "Tariff " the entire credit This if about as reliable as !wheq he says te 'l"ationl charac-L ter" has Wen "digaified by a broad ening and , etevalion,fnring tte pe. riod lying between I860 and mow.

' - One of the most startling, events of. the season, and one that created no little ex citement in the neighborhood where it hap pened, occurred in the vicinity of Mulber ry and McRae streets ' between 2 and. S o'clock yesterday morning.- It 1 was just about the time of the Leavy. rain, that fell during the early hours of the morning that the 'people of that - neighborhood were aroused by the f uriousbarl.ing of dogs, fol lowed by tbe rapid flight of men through the streets, the cries of "HaltjT or "Stop! and the loud report of a gun or pistol fired twice in rapid succession. Then a voice was heard to break out in stentorian yells of "Fire 1" followed by cries of 'Murder !" 'I am shot j" "My leg is broken!" "Will nobody come and help me !" and other like exclamations, which came from a pair of lungs healthy and vigorous, and which bad" lost none pf their natural power under the exciting ..cir cumstances of the. moment. ( Next, came tbe sound of. one of tbe old fashiened police man's whistles, which was found afterwards to have been sounded by one of the neigh bors, and - soon a crowd had collected 1 a . j j it its intersection with Mulberry, and blood was flowing in much "profusion ' from wounds in one of his legs. In the mean time lights had appeared in the various dwellings in the vicinity and all -was ex citement and anxiety, for it is a startling thing to hear cries of murder on the streets during the still hours of the night, and es pecially such cries as emanated from the iron clad lungs aforesaid.; Away , over jin Brooklyn the startling words .were borne upon the damp morning breeze, and pot ice man hurried hlther'and thither 'In the vain endeavor to find out whence they came, j The wounded man gave his name as Caleb Blount, and said be resided On Fifth, between Red Cross and Campbell streets. His statement was to the effect that be was on iris way home and was passing the corner Of Mulberry andTNinth (or Andersbnjjtrfeeta when he saw something on the sidewalk, in front or Mr. J. Mohr's store, which her found to be a pan ' of cakes and a box'of herrings. He was surprised at finding the things there1. And started to take them up. but instantly afterwards eoine to the1 con clusion to let taem remain. He then start'. ed on in the direction of' MacRae street, and had proceeded ' put a short distance, when be discovered two men in advance of him who; were acting very tsuspiciously.' They turned the ' corner of j MacRae in the direction of WalhiU stnieet, and 'just as be reached : the corner- they.: broke" into 'a- run. He shouted ,!0 them to Slop' Mieri Ahey wheeled and' two shots were fired at him almost simultaneously. ' He was wounded at the first; Jre.'n The "men then 5 rah in the direction" of "Walnut street rand he commenced ''telHng' the news.'' ' From subsequent information , we learn that a gentleman on Walnut 'street, between McRae fldTjIfideWn, lieard the cries and was at his wihflciW, when he saw- two men? running jMist a jtlj , eSstwirdly direction. Afterwards Uiey returned, . and this time there 1wwew ef "-'then.:and they commenced a search' for 'something they had apparently ' appp.when ihey" first ran by, but finally, went off "in the direction they had come, seemingly having failed to find'the object they were; in'seaTph of.
