that the Rkpudlicax would be a clean,

bright, newsy paper," free from "mud

editors are not diciple.s of the "gospel
of dirt" and! no amount., of provoca

termination to publish a creditable,

WATTERSON'S NOTICE.
Courier Journal, May 7, lKM."
The republicans are thoiough-
1 y committed against any reduction of
the t a rift', orj agitation of the subject.
The democratic party by its national
and state platforms, by the election of
Mr. Carlisle!, by the vote of all but a
few renegades yesterday for the Mor
tison bill, is -irrevocably committed in
iavor oi AtiiTATiox ana keuuctiox.
Thus is the issue formed. We can
not retreat if we wotild. We must
go forward or we must surrender. I
the people want protection as Messrs
Randall, Eaton and Converse claim,
then they will see that the govern
ment is given in charge of the repub
lican party. The democratic- party
cannot be -trusted to maintain the
"protective system, which it lias de
nounced as a master-pi ice of iniquity.
. . . . j
Moirison, jYVattersor , Carlisle and
Hurd, framed the prese nt tariff plank
in the democratic platform. Does any
one suppose it means. protection? . It
means agitation and Reduction. Is
Durham not sick already of agitation?
It has paralized business for the past
six months to such an ejxtcnt that our
manufacturers do not now expect to
sell one half ihe goods sold last year.

virtually opposed free aanals by appointing a
railroad man for Superintendent of Public Works,

fares and the Governor opposed them, making an

taking the! brief furnished by the monopoly's
lawyers. 1 might instance other act pf his
