BORROWING NEWSPAPERS.

We have no disposition to make columns the
vehicle Of our own personal grievances and annoy.
ances, but we have few words to say 10 class Of
persons whom we can reach in no other wayne
mean those who read our paper without paying for
it--who reap the benefit of our toll and expendi.
lure without returning us an equivSlent-who flch
from us--not our good name, perhaps--but that
which in these degenerate times is the foundation
of good name--our money.
We are receiving reiterated complaints from our
subscribers that they are deprived of the quiet en-
joyment Of their weekly supply Of news by some in.
considerate newspaper borrower, and in some cases
our paper has been discontinued for this cause
aloae. lfborrowers knew what perfect anncyan-
ces they were 10 newspaper owners, and 10 pint.
ers, their numbers would diminish rapidly. But
because they not fatty denied the loan Of pa
per, they presume that the loan is a willing one,
while in fact il is n most unwilling one, and is only
submitted to, from the dread of being called un.
neighborly and niggardly. Subscribers do not read
their papers all at once, so that if they were willing
to lend them at all, they are not ready to do so in
an hour or day, or two or three days after their
reception. They want them at hand, that whenev-
er they have leisure moment they may take them
up, and fthey are deprived Of this privilege by bor
rowing-neighbors whom they did not like to refuse
their papers become comparatively worthless to
them.
There is positively no excuse FOR newspaper Dor
rowing. Every man that knows how to read pa
per afford 10 subscribe for one, and il should be
as disgraeeiul for to beg his newspaper reading
as to beg his bread.
There is another evil that our subscribers
and ourselves suffer from not little, and which we
presume Reed but TO be named, to be remedied.-
1t is this, Our papers are deposited at some one
place in different neighborhoods for distribution
among our subscribers in the vicinity, and il is a
matter of frequent complaint that at these places of
deposit, our papers are opened, read, and tumbled
and perhaps torn, before they go into our subscri-
bers hands This is wrong and excessively annoy
ing. Strangers have more right to open our
subscribers papers and read the news, than they
have TO go 10 their stables and borrow their horses
without, leave. Every one chooses to open their
own paper first, and it is their right
We trust those gentlemen with whom our pa.
per is deposited for distribution will be good enough
TO see that subscribers rights are not invaded in
this way

THE TARIFF


Mn EDIToR:--In regard TO this orea, =.
tional interest, the public mind seems 10 1.
greatly agitated. Notwithstanding the mnls.
piled difficulties which il has had to enconn,o-
from some political hot-spurs, and the illiber.l
and mistaken hostility Of domestic oppostion
II is very gratifying TO perceive that "a steal
lily and securely advancing towards mafpt;,,.
and winning for itself the public favor 7,
among the most agreeable OF the ''sipns If ,bo
times" that more enlightened sentiments ana
liberal feelings are difiusing themselves throuaIl
out the Union In regard 10 manufactures ga
that individuals of patriotism, intelligence snJ
capital, have, within the past year, commenced
the erection Of cotton manufactures in seversi
of the States whose Representatives in e.
gress opposed the tariff with most de,err;nnI
and bitter hostility. The general object Of
protecting policy is the encouragement Of do.
nestle industry in all its great branches acr;.
culture and commerce, as well as mapufactp9s.
Its direct and immediate application varies sc'
cording TO the geographical characteristics ana
peculiar circumstances under which il Is an
piled. Whatever may be the branch or M
duct Of industry which is the immediate ob;er,
OF protection in the first instance, it conlers i
its general results, an equal and common bepe.
fit upon the whole community, because the ex.
tension of industry in one of its departments
naturally creates corresponding extension IN
all the rest. Under the present circumstances
OF the country, manufactures and the aericul.
tural products that are employed in them, spch
as WOOL iron, hemp, and fax are regarded aa
among the proper objects of protecting policy
and in most discussions Of the subject, the On,
quiry turns upon the expediency of protecting
and encouraging domestic manufactures by An,
lies on the corresponding foreign articles
Whenever the protection is real and operative
il is Of course necessary 10 the existence of The
manufacture. IL is known, historically. that
one of the principal objects which were kent in
view in The formation and adoption, OF the fed.
eral constitution, was to invest a general eov
eminent with power to secure our own me-
chancal industry against the ruinous inroads
Of foreign competition. The preamble of The
first revenue law which was framed and enact
ed by the same great statesmen who formed
the constitution, declared in express terms, the
expediency Of encouraging domestic manufac-
tures. The projecting policy aims to render
US world within ourselves, deriving from
friendly intercourse with foreign nations, oil
the advantages which we now do, but EXEMPT
from the continual shocks which our industry
has heretofore sustained from TOO close connex-
ion with that Of Europe. Besides this purpose
it also has in view that Of raising the STANDARD
OF civilization and increasing the comfort of the
people, by ditiuslng more universally among
them, the enjoyment OF the necessaries and
comforts Of life by carrying them home as it
were to the doors Of every citizen.

OF The Keene Sentinel seems 10 be somewhat
surprised at our statement that the descent from
the summit on the Bellows Falls route 10 Rutland,
is for the first few miles 80 feet per mile Our au.
thorty is an accurate examination made by DR..
Jackson. Is that satisfactory
The Sentinel has the funniest get off imaginable,
from its statement that the Green Mountains "shut
in" upon the valley of the Connecticut so that no
road can be built between this place and Bellows
Falls. II says, although the Green Mountains are
IS or 20 miles distant, and do not Shut in upon
the valley, yet there are hills there, "and the hills
are all green. Did the editor Of the Sentinel ever
see any thing else greeni
As TO distances, the Sentinel says il means to say
that it is 80 miles further from Boston TO Burling
ton via Greenfield and BetlOios Falls, than via Keene
and Bellows Falls. Who ever dreamed that il was
necessary to go either by Greenfield or Bellows
Falls, TO get TO Burlington

The VINO TARIFF.-While the Locofocos, as a
party, are known to be opposed to the present tariff
and are endeavoring to repeal it, it is fact worthy
Of notice that in the several districts where particu-
lar branches Of industry are pursued, even the Lo-
cos themselves are as warmly in favor of protecting
those interests as il is possible for any Wing to be-
For instance-in Lynn and the shoemaking towns
of Massachusetts, all the Locos are IN favor of keep
ing up the present duty shoes and boots--all in
Connecticut are for letting the duty remain on va
rious kinds Of emotions all in Pennsylvania, on
iron-all in Syracuse, on sat-all in Vermont, on
wool, and all in Louisiana, on sugar. law that
protects and fosters many important interests,
must ofnecessity be judcious one and we do not
despair of converting our Locofoco friends to an
approval of its Details since they admit the pro-
priety of the principle in what touches their own
pockets.

Ma. CLAWS TouR-The locoioco prints affect a
great deal Of disgust at "Mr Clays impudent tour

feared from his addressing the people will the
gin of eloquence enable him to gloss over such
crimes

wherever he goes and the ocofocos would have

him were untrue, from hearing bis refutation of

correspondent Of the Journal of Commerce
writing from New Hampshire, (probably from
Keene,) urges the New Workers. to aid in extend
ing the Hartford and Springfield rail road up the
river, that New York may secure The trade of the
upper valley of the Connecticut. We reckon--if
we know any thing of Yankee character--of Bos-
ton shrewdness-that Boston will not lie idle and
let New York run away with such a nice slice of
her trade from the very heart of New England. 1t
is, in fact to secure this trade that the Bostonans
are engaged in extending the Fitchburg road to
this place.

The militia system of Maine has been virtually
abolished. All parade and trainings are dispensed
with, aud officers are entitled to an honorable dis
charge, on application. The citizens OF suitable
age are, however, TO be enrolled according to the
law Of Congress.-BOstoH Courier.
Would II not be wiser for our own state TO follow
The example Of Maine upon tins subject than for
the Legislature to spend half Of lis costly time at
each session in revising militia laws, the only effect
OF which is to aid in making respectable sized
pamphlet of annual laws to be published at the peo-
pies expense. Militia systems belong 10 the past

"THE HARNoSIous DExocRAcr."-The Iocofoco
State Central Committee have issued an address 10
the rank and file Of the party in South Carolina,
advising them TO send delegates to the Baltimore
Convention of the 9th May. The Calhoun roos-
ter has no notion Of being swallowed up in the in
satate nav al tho Kindsrhook fox.
In Pennsylvania, the locofocos are much dissatis-
fed with the nomination OF Muhlenbure for Govern
or, and there seems prospect of another split such
as elected Ritner in 1885. AT all events Gen Mar
klo, The Wing candidate, will be enthusiastically
supported, and we think is destined 10 triumph over
the divided faction which now rules the State.
The Cincinnati Sun, violent locoioco print, and
the chief organ of the hard money portion Of that
party, has removed the name of David Tod, for
Governor, from its columns. Mr.. T., in answer TO a
letter requesting his opinion upon Banks, said he
considered them necessary and useful institutions

and its author denounced as a traitor TO his party

Locoroco SrIrE.-While the Army sppropria-
ton bill was under discussion in the u s. House of
Representatives, the 10Th ut. an attempt (Which
we rejoice to say did not succeed) was made by
some of the violent locofoeos, 10 reduce Gen Scott
salary, and even to abolish bis Office SO, those who
will not vote to lessen the squad of useless Navy Of
icers that is maintained at the public expense,
would, to vent their narrow minded spite, abolish
an important post that is filed by prominent
Wing. 1t would seem as though the military SER
vices of Gen. Scott, and his wounds received and
blood shed in our "second war for independence,
would appeal to the magnanimity of all Americans,
and save him from this insult But locofocosm
sticks at nothing where an opponent is concerned
