The democratic party has alway stood upon one constitution, and never could, without abandoning that sacred instrument, in letter and spirit, favor protection, for the sake of protection. Under the constitu- tion, a tariff for revenue may be im- posed, and in adjusting its details, incidental protection to American manufacturers may be given. Not otherwise. But Iam not going to discuss the tariff or any other ques- | tion in this letter.

The chances are that many democrats will leave us and unite with our enemies; but in my opinion, where we lose one democrat we will gain two republicans.
