These two ideas of t free trade and protection had a full ()aaeell- piiflontioti in that country. It is true that the wine tariff lute governed both sections, but it is also true that the Sonth bus-neen impressed all along with the correctness of free trade ideas; thht it has shaped its polies- on free trade dogmas, and that it carried into would directly benefit the Eastern salted largely from the fact that these States, and indirectly prove a benefit manufacturers had accumulated wealth at largo, and acted on that belief. And and had jtedioicusly invested it. Look at the megnificient schools of the north ; look at the yiiung mon these schools have educated and sent abroad into the Union, active, intelligent and practical young melt, brought up in these training wheels of New England; lank at the wealth that had const to re hnild the desolate and burned Mimeo; lunlr at the wealth that had gone to the West to hniid its railroads, Look at the wealth that was ening down South, new, to build milts and factories, to build that stricken &nude. that poor poverty stricken month, which bettered in its two mire.•.,-Eing Catton and Free Trude.

One of their orators, Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, said this : it wes sound free trade doctrine : "I demand for Arueriean genius and in- dustry that the shackles shall be stricken from their hands; that titre absurd ('hitt'e policy of restriction, those worn out relics of barbarism', whish you call protective tariffs, shall be abautheteti. and American labor free to choose its own pursuits and to sees- its own resarde throughout the wide circle of the eat tit.
