"Tariffs may or may not have contributed to the ruin of Spain; bat it is certainly suggestive, when Great Britain, the wealthiest and most progressive country of Europe; haa the lowest tariffs, and Spain, the poorest and most slug gisb, has the highest." TnE President is represented as being deeply interested in the Lodge Elections bill and is willing to call an extra session of Congress to have it passed. There is noth ing that would assist in the defeat of his party so much as an other serious effort to pass this outrage ous measure. Abe Lincoln owned his farm and split the rails to fence it, as tQe custom in his day; Dut uow one half of the farmers in the county in which he lived are ren- i ters instead of owners of their farms. So much for a tariff that was over the ruins of old institu tions," he ment to 6ay in choicer language that he intended to git there with botb feet, if be had to smash everything in sight.

I Wish to shake hands with you upon the advocacy of the renomi nation of the present, most able and true Senator, Z. B. Vance. In peace and war he has ever been the people's fiiend and advocate.

The orator and the oc casion were equal, v ance, tor so many years the idol of this people, ! stood before the masses the elo 1 quent champion of "eqtTal rights to all, gpecial privileges to none.'' ; Same possibly in a thougbt!es. i moment had charged Zb. Vance ! with infidelity to North Carolina. True the great multitude regarded I the intimation of infidelity as pro fanation, but if there was a single oitizen offended Vance was ready to answer him with dignity ur.d respect. Goldsboro furnished the time, plaee and occasion. First, he complimented the people of the State on their ad heranoe to Democratic principles and urged upon then that no con sideration should divert them from their steady support of the Demo- cratic party, which was the con-, eervatism of their peace and safety. The safety and wtlfaieofj tbe South was Identical with the triumph and permanence of Demo- j cratic principles. The Senator then passed to the discussion of tie ; force bill and the tariff as oaly , Yance can discuss them, and then ; addressed himself to the special j needs and demands of the farmers' of the country. Here we shall to some extent epitomize the account of the daily State Chronicle : "The Senator stated that (or years he had called tho attention of the farmers to the fact that every other class was organized ; the business men, the railroads, the great financiers and that it wai the duty of the farmers to organize in order to resist the encroachments of the money kings. He was glad they bad taken his advice, and now according to some he was the first man that some of the members of this great organization would slaughter "That he had never entertained any sentiment or made any speech that was not for the interest of the farmers. That he had looked specially to their interests because they constituted the gieat majority oljhis constituents. 'The Alliance should be careful ty know their friends. Many dead beats and soreheads and disap pointed politicians would endeavor to join tbe Alliance and use it to farther their selfish ends. If a man turns farmer to get office or joins the Alliance for that purpose, watch him. Do not let him oecome a leader or determine tbe policy of the organization. 'Not every one that satth Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom.' "He said that it would gave him pleasure to state that he had been endorsed by nearly every county convention that had been held. And jet be understood that there were some good and true men who believed, or had been tanght to be lieve, that he had. been untrue to the interests ot the farmers. ';"fiYr th information of that naaane mnh wnniri Amlain h is i position with reference to the bill j known as tbe sub treasury bill. j "He stated that he was asked to ! introduce the sub treasury bill, and j consented to do so, stating at the ; n i. a... -I, m.o 11,0 ronnoot time tO tUOSe wno maae tne request j that he eould not promise to 6up nort it. "Ths hill, an nrespntpd to him. ' -- - i 7 i contained a provision that the warehouse keepers should be f elected by the people, which was ' contrary to au express provision of j the Constitution, and he struck that i out and inserted in place of it a prsvision that they should be ap j pointed by the Secretary of the ; Treasury. : "After investigating the bill ' most carefully, and consulting the ablest constitutional lawyers of the Senate, he was convinced that ! the bill was unconstitutional, and , that he could not support it. That he at once wrote his conclusion to Mr. ueauingneia, secretary ui iue ; Olaic xvinauuc lDe said it had always been his desire and purpose to carry out the wishes of his people that he bad always done so, aud that, if this bill was constitutional he, would vote for it whatever effect it might have. 'That the people ot the btate had made him a sentinel upon the. watch tower, whose duty it was to, warn them, and that having! warned them, he should do their1 bidding. The question of the 1 practicability or impracticability of any measure was their business; Its constitutionality was his buti neas. He had sworn to support the Constitution, and if he violated that oath the devil would get him, not them." BIG TOM REED. The frog in the fable swelled until he burst. We trust that no such calamity will befall Big Tom Reed, tor in that eyent the atmosphere about him would be intolerable. As it is, with his corpus in statu quo, he is almost insufferable and disinfectants range high. Should Via nAlanaa tha A 11 (Tn in arnhlAfl Li ---.-,. ...... - would be lost to fragrant memory, Despite the hazard he continues to swell. Instead of signing the river and harbor bill and sending it to the Presideet Speaker Reed keeps it upon his table. Why shouldn't he 1 Do not the rivers and harbors belong to the people, and is he not lord of the people Lie declares that he will not sign the bill until the tariff bill and the contested election cases have been disposed of. Was there ever such impu dence and tyranny Who is to blame bat the party that has made ! section i. not curing as well as was ex him its boss, and gives their backs j pected. The rains caused a late growth to hi) lash like Blares t and -hi is the cause of the trouble. KOtiERS, OF XORTHAMPTON. Wlirtt has become of Rogers, of Northaui jton ! lie was nominated as i he Democratic candidate for ! Cungres in this, tlie second dis tr;et of North Carolina, but we have hoaid nothing of his accep tano-e. Ia lie a candidate, aud if so what i.-i he duing to secure his election f Possibly be has not been oflicially informed of his nomination. At all events, we have not seen his acceptance. It is time an active oaava was inaugurated. Wise, in Virginia, has been upon the stomp for two weeks, and Breckenridge, of Ken tucky, is helping him in his can- vats. "T.lldj'' William8 has Opened ,, .. . 4.. nre ou .nrowei up wi me uiceuo- boro district, and they are haviDg'iii phenomiDal, exteniing throughout it hot and heavy. i Mr. Rogers is said to be a good : speaker. Mr. Simmons and other gentlemen of ability are ready to help him. aud the work should con mence. Public meetings will prove of vast benefit to our party. The Republican record is bad and should be fearlessly exposed. Other work is necessary. Mr. Rogers should visit every precinct in this district aud win votes by pleasing address and courteous intercourse with the people. "Up guards aud at them," was the command of Wellington at Waterloo. LI1TLE UEX.ME HAhKJSO.V. Telegrams from Cresson Springp, Pa., state that the President threatens to call Congress together in extra session should it dare adjouru without passing the force bill, the anti lottery bill, tbe Sut preme Court bill, the labor bill, and several other measures in which he takes seme little interest in the intervals of his various ex cursions. Bennie wants to let it be known that he is alive and kicking. Blaine and lieed have been all the talk for a month or so, and unless he kicks up a racket he will be entirely for gotten. P.ut he need have no such apprehension. The panic in Wall street, and the hundreds of strikes from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, the distress and embarrassment in every agricultural distiict in the Union will not permit him to be forgotten, but will call down curses on his head. Poor Harrison ! Kf.feeing to the canvass now being pressed so vigorously by the Democracy of Virginia, the Rich mond Dispatch says: The Demo crats in this district are having good meetings and fine speakers to address them. The people eageily listen to the discussion of the issues of the day and are more earnest aud united than at any time since 1S70. If all the other districts of the State are in equally good condition the Democratic majority in N ovember will be very great. Oar voters are not only confident, but alert. Mr. Oiieadle, Hepublican of Indiaua made a strong speech in . .! tbe yenable Langstou contested race in wbipli hn tnnt t hp prnnnd ' ' . , that Venable was fairly elected and insisted that the Republican party could not afford to seat Latigston. He said, "The Repub licans, had been fairly beaten, and it was beneath tbe dignity of the Republican party to reverse the figures of an election which had been lost to it by a thousand votes.'' Dick Johnson's circular didn't defeat Cheatham for the nomina tion before the Republican conven tion, but the votes of an outraged people in November, will relegate him to private life. While his party is stealing all the ''boodle" in the Treasury, along with onr liberties, we advise hiin to lay up a few coins for that lainy day whieh will have no end for him. Henderson Tomahawk. It was one of the accidents of a sad occasion that Senator Quay led in the Randall memorial ser vices in the Senate on Saturday. We don't suppose in our genera tion there have been two men who represented such thoroughly oppos ing standards of public life as Randall and Quay. The Wilmington Messenger says: "The platform of Radicalism in 1S92 will be shaped by Reed's recent campaign and success more taxes and heavier burdens." HUE AT LYKCIUJURti.

Washington, Sept. 10 - Those bel ligerent Republican members who were threatening a few weeks ago to ulterlv demolish the Senate amendments to tl e Tariff bill are now as docile hi lambs, and when sent to the President, will be substantially as it stands today. SpeaL er Reed and those Republican members who agree with him that the recipro city feature of the bill, as proposed by Mr. Blaine and peifected by the S-nate. is a delusion and a snare, have decided to takq their medicine with as much lerace aa possible. A week or two ao ' tne 8Peafeer was making preparations iu organize a ngnt in tne riouse against the reciprocity amendments. Tho situation has changed now, and the Speaker will accept the bill as sent over from the Senate. A canvass of the House has developed the fact that more than three fourths of the liepubli can members are outspoken in favor of reciprocity. Hence it would be useless for Speaker Reed to antagonist i the pet scheme of hn enemy. Mr. Blaiue.
