A Great Force in Indiana 1'otitics That II as lilt her to Escaped Notice, fpecial to the Indianapolis Joprnal. Washington, Dec 29. It has been whis Sered around Washington during the past week that John Paal Jones, a nephew of Senator Yoorbees. and at one time a resident of Indiana, weald be appointed United States district at torney for the District of Columbia, The term of A. S. Wortbineton, present incumbent, ex pires early next month, and there has been quite a scramble for the place by District men. The President, however, i3 not inclined to appoint a man from the District, because, he alleges, local men are too much mixed up in local affairs. An Indiana Democrat told the Journal correspondent to-dav that the President bad positively promised Senator Voorhees that he would appoint Mr. Jones. A Washington dispatch in to-day's New York World, speaking of the matter, says: "Mr. Jones, in the last three or four campaigns in Indiana, has wielded an influence from the Wabash to the Miami that baa made him one of the political powers of the Hoosier State. Friends of Mr. Jones are ursine his claims on the ground that Indiana should receive more recognition than has yet been accorded her. The President, however, is reported to have said that he would not appoint a District man to the office, but would go to the bounding West lor the new appointee. Jones has a decided advan tage over his competitors for the position in that be can claim a residence in Indiana, it tne Pres ident must have an outsider, while if Mr. Cleve land desires to appoint a District man, Mr. Jones can pose as a champion of home-rulers. John Paul Jones has lived in Washington about ten years, and is a member cf the law firm of Lines & Jones, Pacific bnilding, F street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. He is at present out of the city. This evening's Star thinks he will get the appointment. TARIFF REVISION. Outline of a Measure Which Congressman T. HI. Browne Is Preparing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 29. General Browne is preparing a tariff bill. It will probably take him till some time In Feburary to complete ;it. as be is collecting a great deal of statistical in formation and is consulting the leading Repub licans in the House, with a view of presenting such a measure as the party will support. Gen. Browne proposes to abolish the tobacco tax, which will relieve the incomes of the govern ment to the extent of about $30,000,000 a year. Here he will stop the reform of the internal taxes, nnd will go into the import dues by lead ing out with free sugar, free lumber and some of the other necessary articles of life which are mot largely imported. He will also reduce the customs dues on a number of articles of common wear, probably to ncbing the ordinary woolens. He will, h owever, maintain the protection to labor and nearly everything in the line of manufactures. General Browne is a protectionist, but believes that the country has outgrown the present tariff laws and internal taxes; that they should be re vised, 'and in the revision due regard should be had to the necessaries 01 life and the maintenance of the protection which has made cur industries what they are. With many other Republicans in the Honse General Browne believes that the party should, as soon as practicable, propose a reform ot the tariff. He advocates a consultation of the party men in the House and the formulation of a tariff bill settingforth fully what the Republicans propose; and he thinks this should be presented to meet consideration with the measure which the Democrats will introduce. He finds that a very large majority of the Republicans are in favor of a moderate, common-sense revision of tariff, and that the work can be exDedited by the introduction of the party's ideas on the subject for consideration with the measure by the opposite party. The General's views on the revision of the tariff, in extonso, were published a few days ago in the Journal. THE SOLID SOCTII. It Will, Continue In That Condition in Case Lamar I; Rejected. Washington Special. Mr. William H. McC&rdle, who used to edit the Vicksburg Herald, and who is a personal friend of Secretary Lamar, has a long card in to-day's Post in answer to the New York Tribune's statements holding Mr. Lamar responsi ble for the "Chisolm massacre" in Mississippi, and having inspired certain articles in the Vicksburg papers. Mr. McCardle concludes his communication as follows: ''The leaders of the Republican party have often proclaimed the solid South is a constant menace to the Union, and have pretended to deplore this condition of affairs. I haye only to say to Republican Senators that if they desire to perpetuate and make eternal the political solidity of the South, the work can be readily accomplished. Let them reject the nomination of L. Q. C. Lamar and thus proclaim to the world that no confederate soldier, no matter how able, pure and honest he may be, is worthy of recognition by the Senate until be abjectly confesses that he is a traitor and a felon. Let the fiat go forth that the people of the South can expect nothing until tbey brand themselves as traitors, and e arve that opprobrious name upon the tomb of their fathers, their brothers and their sons. The rejection of Colonel Lamar by a partisan majority in the Senate will mean this and nothing more; and when his rej ection is finally announced, that majority will begin to realize that 'blood is thicker than water.' Distinguished Senators will find the men and women of the ! Sonth more resolute than ever in their opposi- I tion to the Republican party. When the old Duke of Ormond was bending over the lifeless body of his eon, he exclaimed: 'I would not give my dead son, Ossory, for any living peer in Hngland.' In like spirit the people of the solid South will be more solid, will become welded together as bands of triple steel, and this condition of political solidity will continue while the sky has a star or the ocean a tide. "I regret the necessity of this obtrusion of my opinions upon the readine public, but when a wicked and felonous assault upon a distinguished citizen of my own State is attempted to be based upon my public utterances it would be eriminal to remain silent" Senator Sherman's letter to the Buckeye Club of Ohio, iuforming that organization that he intends doing all he can to defeat Mr. Lamar has attracted much interest here, and the Senator's admission that he does not expect to succeed is thought to be based on his knowledge that Senators Stewart and Sawyer cannot be made to obey the mandates of the Republican caucus. COMMISSIONER ATKINS. Be Has Sad a Disgusting Experience, and Threatens to Resign. Washington Special. The trials and tribulations of office under a Democratio administration have proven too much for Gen. John D. C Atkins, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and it is now reported that he will resign. General Atkins was appointed from Tennessee in 1S85, but two years of official life cave convinced him that all is not gold that glitters. Honest to a fault himself, be has acted apon the theory that all his friends were honest. He has appointed his own relatives and numerous friends to office in the Indian Bureau of the service, or secured their apDointment elsewhere, and in nearly every instance they have turned out badly and disgraced themselves and their friends. At the solicitation of Mr. Lamar and other prominent Democrats, including several Senators, he has appointed their respective relatives and friends, and these have almost universally followed the disgraceful example of the other appointees. Speculation in traderships.and political jobbery of various kinds have so scandalized the bureau that Commissioner Atkins is said to be mortified beyond measure. He is not only mortified, but he is disgusted, nnd his disgust is deep and universal. When the act was passed creating the Interstate-commerce Commission, Mr. Atkins, depending upon his record as a member of Con press and bis influence as Indian Commissioner, boomed himself for Interstate-commerce Commissioner. Five other gentlemen were appointed, however, and Mr. Atkins was forced to content himself with the position he was then and is now holding, notwithstanding the promises of those high in power whom be had served. He is now convinced that there is much ingratitude in politics, and this, together with the fact that his appointments threaten to discrace him and his department, inclines him to retire from office. MINOR MATTERS, The Indiana Congressmen and the Honse Committees. Boerl! to th Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec 23. Speaker Carlisle has intimated to an Indiana Democrat that he intends to make Mr. Holman chairman of the

House eommttttee on public lands, and relieve Mr. Matson from the chairmanship of the invalid pensions committee and place him on the committee on appropriation a It is definitely settled that Mr. Bynum will be a member of the committee on ways and means, and that General Browne is to be retained on that committee. Mr. Johnston is a member of the committee on elections. General Hovey will likely be a member of the committee on invalid pensions, and Mr. Owen, it is thought, will be placed on the committee on commerce, since Mr. Bynum will leave that for ways and means. Members from the State who are just entering upon their first term are not making much effort for distinction on committees, as new members are very seldom given positions on important committees.

He has an office in New York, at No. 9 Nassau street, and deals in stocks on the market there. He has an interest in a railroad being constructed in Ohio, and interests in successful mines in Colorado and elsewhere, but his present postoffi.ee address is Colonial Beach, Va.

The Bulkley-IIillyer Elopement. Washington, Dec 29. The sensational elopement of Mr. Grassie Bulkley and Miss Hillyer, to Baltimore, where they were married, and the subsequent suit on behalf of Miss Hillyer s parents o annul the marriage, have filled the local papers here for the last few dars. A new phase was put upon the matter this afternoon by the withdrawal by Miss Ilillyer's parents of the suit. All the parties to the marriage and the parents of the contracting parties have become reconailed, and all is now happy. The high social position of the parties has given the episode unusual prominence Gcneml Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 29.

ITALY'S AFEICAN CAMPAIGN

Abyssinia's King Reported Advancing Upon Massowah by Forced Marches, And It Is Expected a Great Battle Will Ba Fought There Within a Few Dars More Trouble at Honolulu Foreign Notes. THE ITALIANS IN AFRICA. King John Advancing Upon Massoivan, A Battle Expected Shortly. London, Dec. 29. In a day or two wa shall bear of fighting in the vicinity of Massowah. That the Italian forces expect a battle is evident from the fact that they are erecting new and strong fortifications at Massowah to anticipate the approach of King John, who is said to be advancing upon that place by rapid stages. He has under his commaud three bodies of troops. The first column is marching via Antalo and Algrab, the second via Adowa, while the route of the third column, which is composed of Sboans, is unknown. There is some probability that reports of this character may be exaggerated or otherwise inaccurate, as they are likely to be derived -from native source that are not wholly trustworthy. All the news from Abyssinia, however, for sev eral days past has indicated that hostilities are about to begin. If this report is accurate it indi cates that King John intends to bring the greater part of his available force into the field at the outset; doubtless hoping to overpower the Ital ians at the beginning of the fight by sheer numerical superiority. In the war with Ln gland King Theodore was greatly weakened after hia first reverses by the defection of some of his powerful chiefs. King John is doubtless aiming to prevent the weakening of hia army by similar causes. According to the above report it would appear that the army of Tigre and Amara, or, in other words, the organized forces of the two greatest provinces of the kingdom, are marching toward Massowah in two column, one starting from Adowa, about 150 miles from Maseowaw, by the usual ronte over the mountains, and the other from Antalo, nearlv 200 miles from Massowah. This army, according to the best Information the Italians have been able to gather, is about oO, 000 strong, has 10,000 guns of poor quality, the rest of the army being equipned with lances and eabres. The generals in command of this army are Ka.s Arara and Kas Avcrra. ihey have a large number of horsas and oxen for the carrying of suDrilies. - The dispatch also says that a third column composed or bhoans, 13 marching on Massowah by an unknown route. The Sboans have con siderably more than twice as far to march as the other forces. The array of Menelek of Shoa is without doubt the largest and best force at the disposal of King John. It numbers 80,000 war riors, many of whom are armed with repeating rifles. hen Menelek's soldiers captured Uarrar, nearly two years ago. 20,000 Remington rifles and a large supply of munitions of war fell into their hands. This arm, all or a part of which forms the third column mentioned in the dis patch, is commanded by the two uncles of the Negus Meceiek. The dispatch does not mention the army of lis Alula, about 50.000 strong, m the extreme north of Abrssinia, which is the hostile force nearest the Italian forts. A cablegram yester day said that the Italian trooDS had been ordered to advance to the village of Asmara, about fifty nines from .Massowah. where Kas Alula is in for.-o on a great table-land among the mountains. b.000 feet soove the sea No exact information about the strength of the Italian army has been published, but it probably numbers, including several thousand native al lies, between 30,000 and D5.000 finely equipped men. The Italians are eager for a fight, and though much inferior in numbers, their super iority to King John's warriors is great in poiat of discipline and equipment. THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. A Serious Outbreak Prevented by the Tresence of Foreign War "Milps. San Francisco, Dec. 29. Private advices re ceived here from members of the Hawaiian Legislature say that were it not for the presenceof English and American men-of-war in the harbor an outbreak would undoubtedly have occurred on the assembling of the Legislature, Dec. 19. Minister Ashford brought out the Honolulu Rifles, with the intention of subverting the gov ernment at once, but the success of the design was prevented by the officers of the vessels, whose threats stopped the proposed insurrection before any sanguinary trouble occurred. The King's vetoes are among the chief features of contention. Their legality, however, and the validity cf the Constitution will be sustained without a doubt, as the King has a majority of the Supreme Court. The liquor and police bills which had been passed by the Legislature were returned with the King's veto. They hope to have S. P. Hale placed on the bench as a judge. The King has put in trust to pay bis debts, which amount to $250,000, exclusive of $71,000 due a Chinese merchant (which was paid to the King as a bribe to obtain a license for the sale of opium), all his real estate, which consists of a life interest in the crown lands, and also lands which he owns in fee simple, save two or three small parcels. The trustees are J. O. Carter, S. M. Damen and Curtis Zankea. All bills are to be presented within three months, and dividends are to be declared monthly. The title papers have all been recorded. The Legislature passed a resolution, by a vote of 23 to 11, that it was the sense of the assembly that the aims of the King in vetoing the two bills relating to the abolishing of the office of governor, was uncon stitutional, and a committee of the Cabinet waited upon the King and notified him of the fact. The King referred the question to the judges for their opinion. A letter from one of the nobles says if the King does not assent to the acts of the present Legislature be will be dethroned and a provisional government substi tuted. Those most concerned in the kingdom's prosperity are favoring annexation to the United States, and the feeling in this respect is spreading among all classes. FROM CONVICT TO PRIME MINISTER. The Kmnnntlc Career of Count Andrassy, Once Sentenced to Oeatli. New York Evening World. Vienna, Dec. 26. Emperor Francis Joseph, in the letter which accompanied bis Christmas gift to Count Andrassy, says that the present is given in recognition of the hospitality extended to the Emperor by Count Andrassy during the military maneuvers. The gift is generally believed, however, to have a political significance, the opinion being that the Emperor wished to express his approval of Count Andrassy's energetic policy. It is stated that when jie Count returned from the Berlin congress the Emperor wished to raise him to the rank of Prince, and asked several of the Hungarian Ministers to try to induce him to accept the honor. Count Andrassy, however, refused the title, and also declined to accept an order, so that the Emperor's only way to honor the Count was to send him an autograph letter of thanks, which is prized by the Count as the highest of his Austrian distinctions. Cvunt Julius Andrassy, who was born in 1823, was one of the leaders of the Hungarian revolution against the Austrian government in 1S48, and was sentenced to death for the prominent part he took therein. Fortunately he succeeded in making his escape just in time, and sought refuge in England. On his arrival there, in a state of complete destitution, he was most kindly and hospitably received bv a young attache of the Austrian consulate-general, who at the risk of his whole future and of immediate disgrace, cared for the wants of the Hungarian patriot for many mouths. The name of this young man was Ignatz von Schaeffer, who held the post of Austrian minister plenipotentiary at Washington until eighteen months ago. In 1857 a general amnesty enabled Count Andrassy, who is the head of one of the oldest Hungarian families, to return to his native country, In IS'30 he was elected Vice-president of the Hungarian Parliament, and in 18G7, on the coronation of the Emperor and Empress of Austria as King and Queen of Hungary, he became Prime Minister of the kingdom. Among the principal acts of his administration were the civil and political emancipation of the Hebrews. In 1S71, on the resignation of Count Beust, he became a Minister of Foreign Affairs and Premier of the entire empire, and as such attended the Berlin Congress, in 1S78. retiring in the following year in consequence of his aversion to the maintenance of friendly relations with Russia a feeling that was perfectly natural in a Magyar magnate. Married to one of the most beautiful and statuesque women of her time, the Count is of slight and exceedingly elegant figure, with masses of curly, brown hair and a singularly refined yet far from effeminate look. No greater contrast could be

imagined than to see the Count and Prince Bis

Cable Special to New York Tribnne. Liverpool is alarmed by a report that the Lon don and Northwestern Railway Company is seriously considering a scheme for developing Holyhead traffic This idea is not new, bat the Manchester ship-canal threatens to destroy the railway freight business between Liverpool and Manchester, so the railway people think they can turn the flank of the enemy by going to Holy head. So they can if they can get American liners to go there too. Liverpool, this company is now discovering, has great faults as a port of de parture and arrival. The tide usually compels steamers to sail so earl v that passengers from Lon don must leave the night before and spend anight in Liverpool. This adds a day to the journey between London and New York. The delay at the bar, on arriving, is more frequent and longer than passengers generally know. Captains, if the tide does not serve, make a slow run from Qoeenstown to avoid lying off the month of the IVlereey. Mai 13 would reach London often a day earlier if delivered at Holyhead, and passengers also. nat is needed is a deepening or the narbor, and an extension of the breakwater, which would cost less than $1,000,000. This is certain to be done sometime. At present every effort is made, by building fast ships, to shorten the At lantic passage. All that is gained is often lost, both by mails and passengers, from adherence to Liverpool and Oueenstown. boeh are some of the arguments which the more active of the railroad directors are using. The London & Isorthwestern is, however, one of the most con servative companies in England. Wilson Again Escapes. London, Dec. 29. The fortunate Daniel Wil son has again landed on his feet, after being held in suspense once more. The decision of the court that the case against him regarding the new decoration scandal is not a lawful one. while extremely lucky for M. Wilson, is not equally so for the four other agents, who are supposed to have had a band in the affair. A speedy trial, with a probable conviction, will be their fate. There appears to be a consummate generalship in M. Wilson's tactics, which never fails to exonerate him and render his escape possible at the expense of others, who, evident ly, possess less influence than himself. Frederick AViliinm's Condition. SanRemo, Dee. 29. Drs. Mackenzie, Schroeder, Kraus and Ilovell issued a bulletin to-day in regard to Crown Prince Frederick William's condition, in which they say that the growth which last appeared ia the Prince's throat on the left ventricular band, has not spread fur ther, and now presents an ulcerous appearance, with indications of becoming cicatrized. In the immediate region of the growth, there remains a permanent congestion of the ventricular band. with a tendency to a mucous secretion, which, however, is also decreasing. The Prince s gen eral condition for several weeks past has bean very satisfactory. Tory Hatred of Gladstone. Special to the Indianaoolis Journal. London, Dec. 29. A curious illustration of the Tory hatred of Gladstone was given to-day. when an attempt was made on the part of bis admirers to decorate a portrait of his that hung in the police barracks, at Dublin. The police being equally determined that no such honor should be paid him as the people were that it should, a series of rows immediately beean. Each advance of Mr. Gladstones sympathizers was met by stolid resistence by the police. The matter was settled, finally, by the authorities. who removed the cause of the disturbance. Cruelty at Sea. London, Ifctc. 29. Captain Paynter and Sec ond Mate Fischer, of the British bark Kmbleton, have been charged, at Sunderland, with the grossest crsslty toward the crew of the vessel. During the voyage of the bark from San Fran cisco to Sundoriand, three of the crew jumped overboard to escape cruel treatment, another succumbed to his injuries and a fifth was landed in an almost dying condition. Paynter and k ischer were bota remanded. Marriage of Maurice lSernhardt. Paris, Dec. 29. Maurice Bernhardt, son of the actress, Sarah Bernhardt, and Princess Vir ginia Clotilde JablonowBki, great-grandaughter of Lucien Bonaparte, were married, to-day, in the Church of St. Honore. Crowds surrounded the church, and gave a grand ovation to Madame Bernhardt upon her arrival and departure. Cense of the Russian Students Revolt. St. Petersburg, Dec. 29. A majority of the Ministers have declared to the Czar that the recent rioting among the students was due not to political causes, but to the just discontent which has prevailed on account of the new university statutes, ihe objectionable statutes will prob ably be soon altered. A Promise of Peace. Cologne, Doc 29. The Cologne Cazette's Berlin correspondent says: "Reliable advices from Vienna say that the European situation may be expected to become more tranquil, ow ing to a mutual explanation which is either intended or has already partly been given." Snlltvan Challenge Smith. London, Dec 29. John L. Sullivan has chal lenged Smith to a fight for 1,000 a side, the fight to come off a fortnight after Sullivan's match with Mitchell. Smith says he will meet Sullivan for any money the latter likes after the fight with Mitchell. Cable Notes. Mr. Sextons illness is a dangerous fever. His recovery is not certain. Mr. Gladstone left Paris yesterday for Flor ence, lie wm return to ljondon lor the opening of Parliament Miss Ella Russell, of Cleveland, has scored a triumph in the opera of "La Traviata," in Warsaw. She was presented with a golden laurel crown, on the leaves of which were engraved the names ot a number of the generals and colonels of the Imperial Guard. The man who is accused of corrupting yonne girls, and against whom the charges of the three young girls, who are inmates of the Good Shepherd convent, at Cork, are made, is learned to be Major Bishop, governor of the county jaiL The police authorities refuse to prosecute him. Losses by Fire. Shekandoah, Pa, Dec. 29. A fire in the third lift of No. 4 mine, at Lost creek, operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, to-day burned to the surface, destroying over a thousand feet of timbered slope, the boiler-house and surface pump-hou3e, and two hoisting engines. Loss, $50,000. The mine has not been worked since September owing to the strike. SotTTit Bend, Ind., Dec. 29. This afternoon a fire started in the works of the South Bend Toy Company, owned by Tel & Badet.

TARIFF REFORMERS.

James Russell Lowell Eulogizes Cleyeland,and Sajs Protection Killed Shipping Interests. Boston, Dec 29. The meeting and banqnet of the Massachusetts Tariff-reform League, at the Brunswick, to-night, were highly successful, the arrangements being carried out upon a most elaborate 6cale. There were present a large number of prominent politicians and government officials, both from Massachusetts and elsewhere, among the number being Hon. James Russell Lowell, Gen. John M. Corse, Hon. Pat rick A. Collins, Congressman W. C. P. Breckenridge, of Kentucky; W. L. Wilson, of West Vir ginia, and Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala bama. Shortly before 5 o'clock the guests and members began to arrive, and at 5: 43 a business meeting of the league was held. Resolutions indorsing the message of President Cleveland were unanimously adopted. Officers were then elected, after which the party proceeded to the banquet hail. It was 7oclock when the gentle men, to the number of 312, were seated in the banquet hall, and Rev. James Freeman dark, D. D.. invoked divine blessing. After the Mknquet Hon. James Russell Lowell rapped the meeting to order. In the course of his address 1 Mr. Lowell was interrupted fre quently by storms of applause. At his first reference to President Cleveland Dr. William Ev erett, jr., proposed three cheers for Cleveland, which were given with a will. Mr. Lowell, in the course cf bis remarks, said: "One of the reasons that chiefly suggested the opportuneness of our coming together here has been the President's message at the opening of the present Congress. Personally, I confess that I foel myself strongly attached to Mr. Cleveland as the best representative of the higher typ of Americanism that we have seen Bince Lincoln was snatched from 11s. But we are not here to thank him as the head of a party. We ar here to felicitate each other that the presidential chair he.s a man in it, and this means that every word he says is weighted with what he is. We are here to felicitate each other that this man understands politics to mean business, not chicanery; plain speaking, not paltering with us in a douole sense; that be has had the courage to tell the truth to the country without regard to personal or party consequences, and thus to remind us that a country not worth telling the truth to is not worth living in nay, deserves to have lies told it, and to take the inevitable con sequence in calamity. Oar politics call loudly for a broom. Mr. Cleveland. I think, has found the broom and begun to ply it. But, gentlemen, the President. has set us the example not only of courage, bnt of good sense and moderation. He has kept strictly to his txt and his purpose. He has shown us that there was euah a thing as being protected too much, and that we had protected our shipping interests so effectually that they had ceased to need protection by ceasing to ex ist. In thus limiting the field of his warning and his counsels he has done wisely, and wa shall do wisely in following bis example. His facta and his figures will work all the more effectually. But we must be patient with them and expect them to work slowly. Enormous in-i terests are involved, and must be treated ten derly." Opening of the Cleveland Campal gn. New York, Dec. 29. The Hinrlem Democratic Club gave a dinner to 175 lights of the Democ racy to-night. It was considered the opening cun in the presidential canvass. Among those present were Governor Hill, Senator Vance, Charles A. Dana and Rnswell P. Flower. The toast.

Governor Hill, after expresmg continence m rsew York Mate going Democratic in leSS. said: "I need not allude to the many excellent acts of President Cleveland's ad ministration. You know mv views only too well; suffice it to say that his administration has met the expectations of the county." The Governor then closed bv wishing success to the club and its efforts in behalf of the Democratio partv. Senator Vance, of orth Carolina, responded to The Union of the States; Indivisible For ever.'7 lie said this was the sentiment of all the Southern States. Thev had never com plained of the Union, bnt when a majority un dertook, as was thought, to injure and oppress the minority, tber resisted, 'ihese causes have passed away, no matter by what means, and thev recognized the inevitable, and renewed their love of the Union, which wonld be perfect as soon as a portion of the States ceased to claim the right to interfere with the domestio affairs of others. . lion. Charies A. Dana responded to "The Press." He said: "While it was necessary that the bonth should be put down, it is a melan choly tact that the principle of btate rights was in a great measure also put down. There can be no self-defense without State rights. The grent outy of the people is, the restoration of State rights to th predominance it formerly possessed. 1 hat is the great principle and object. in my opinion, of the Democratic party.
