The Spirit of the People.

We received yesterday g letter from new friend
in Oneida County, enclosing the names of thirty
two subscribers fer the Extra Tribune and the cash
for them, of which the following is an extract:
To tie Editors Of the Tribune
The People of tbs vicinity have recently msds ,;
the very important dscoevry that the niscalled
Democratic party are exclusively their friends
as they would gladly hare them believe. Having
carefully examined their political action for some
time past, have come to the conclusion that they
really are more the friends of the European laborsr
than of the American. Their quibbling and cavi-
ing on the Tariff question, their compelling the
majority to give up the Land Distributes the tar
dy and meagre aid they then gave have determined
me to leave them and to place myself in the ranks
of the much misrepresen,ed and abused Wing party.
Desiring thai the people of this vicinity should be
put in possession of full and accurate information
of the political action of the Wings, and that the
caviine, quibbling, shnffling action CT the Locos
on the Tariff should be fully understood, and what
may be expected from them if they should get into
power, have obtained ,hirtytwo subscribers to the
Extra Tribune, and hope to more than double the
list in a short time, Yours.

J we publish on our first page the Speech of
S1rAs WRIGHT apologising for his vote in favor
of the Tariff bill, and betraying his bitter hostility
to the principle and policy of Protection. Insin-
cere and double-faced as Mr.. Wright's course on
this subject has been he will find that has constt-
uents understand him. They are favorable to
the bill and the whole bill, and especially to those
very Protective features which Mr.. Wright so
humbly apologses and excuses himself to his
Southern allies for supporting, protesting that he
does it most unwillingly. Fifty thousand honest,
worthy, industrious citizens of New-Yorl will OBJ
tain employment and livelihood through the COM
ing year by reason of these very features of the
bill which Mr. Wright condemns, asd which he
virtually pledges himself to aid in abolshing as
soon as his party regain the power. He hopes
most insidiously to excite Jealousy and hostility
between the Agricultural and Manufacturing in
serests of our S.ate--as though our farmers did
not know that Protection to Manufactures is Pro-
lection to them, by securing market for their
products, even if the factories do use some cheap
coarse wool from abroad, for which there is no RI
val produced in this Country. Read his speech,

The Narr Eeforns.

% We have waited sone anys to procure more
complete information with regard to the practical
working of the new act for the Reorganization of
the Naval Service of the United States, but cur
adyices are still insufficient. The simple fact,
however, that the Board of Navy Commissioners
is abolished, assures that the change is real,
beneacent Reform, whereby the efficiency of the
Navy will be increased and its present enormous
expensiveness be diminished. That fact will of
itself commend it to the favor of the Country.
And, though the bill passed in shape that docs
not diminish the csmplexity or cost of the mere
machinery of the service 80 much we thoug ght de
.irable, the increase of direct responsibility of the
Government and the Country viii prove great
public advantage.
We regret that, under some sinister influence,
the bill was so changed as to require the selection
of the heads of the most importan, Burecux from
the Post Captains in the Navy. This is contins-
ing part of the evil which the best friends of the
service we're anxious to abolish. 1t is one thing
to know how TO sail and Fight snip, and quite an
other TO oyersee and direct her construction, arma
rnent, provisioning or repairs. This Post Captain
monopoly of branches of the services for which the
duties of Post Captain impar no special fitness,
has been continued quite long enough. We hope
to see the end of it.
We regret farther that the arrangement was such
that Lieut.. MAyRY could not be called 20 the head
of one of the Bureaux. OF him personally we
| know nothing; but we do know that his writings
in the Southern Literary Messenger in favor OF
Naval Reform have been the principal means OF
calling public attention to the necessity of such
Reform, and Of showing its feasibility To Lieut..
Maury and to the Messenger the Country and the
Service owe debt of Gratitude which we hope
they will not repudiate.
