TIE OFLABOR.

This is the title Of a work recently sent us
by Calvin Cotton, the able author of the Life
and writings of Henry Clay. and published
a; the Express office in New York.
Labor is wealth. This labor is always in
proportion TO the encouragement given II.
Hence when necessary it demands pr"tec-
tod from the Government. England has
accumulated immense wealth because her
population performs immense labor. by her
manufactures she has concentrated large
portion Of the wealth Of the world into her
petty territorial dominions. Spain and Por-
tusal. with whom she has enjoyed the priv
ilese Of Free trade for two centuries, have
spent all their resources aud all the golden
incomes Of both the Indies, in purchasing the
manufactures of England. Because they did
not work for themselves they are both en-
poverished.
We rejoice TO see this liule volume, winch
takes the true GROUND. while ne are sorry 10
say that nearly all the works upon Po""c"'
economy which have BEEN published anu
s,udied in our seminaries ofledIning. are not
adapted TO the circumstances IN which we
are placed.
The great object Of MI. c. is TO e'ince The
necessity Of protection TO the Labor Of the
county, as the means OF securing its wealth
and prosperity. The work is written in a
plain aud vigorous style, and adapted to the
humblest capacity. He handles the subject
Of protective policy in manner to con-
vince every one of its necessity to this natIon'
A treatise on the rights Of labor now utterly
abandoned in this country. is just "na' Is
needed at this time.
And we are much obliged to MIR. Cotton
that he has given his manual to the public IN
a form SO cheap that % cents will place ii in
every mans hands. Let every true Tariff
man evince his patriotism by procuring this
work.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

In no respect is the triumph Of the Wing
party in New York more matter Of rejoic-
ing than by enabling that party to Arrest H.
legal voting by restoration Of the registry
law. More :han once has The political char
acter of the State and even Of the Union,
been decided by the caniale Of this great
city. hundreds yea it may be thousands OF
whom, on election days are led around by
locofoco agents TO deposit their votes it may
be in every electoral district in the city, their
mere assertions or oath as the law now
stands being deemed sufficient evidence Of
their right to do 50. 1t appears from recent
presentment of The Grand Jury of the city,
that gangs Of convicts from Blackwell Island
long before their time of service had expired,
were let loose, and sent over TO pollu &c the
ballot boxes in the city Of New York, and
that their keepers who were officers in the
employment Of the Corporation Of the city,
were engaged in planning and carrying on
this nefarious design. The Jurors further de-
clare that they cannot believe that the consti-
tuted authorities Of the city will permit, Purdy
Sutton, Francis or Durham, prominent Lo-
cofoeos, to hold their places, connected as
they were with the disSraceful transactions
Of the night of November tho I'd. Ten of the
keepers and the Doctor Of BlackwelIs Island
have been indicted. These men aided the
criminals into stages AT tho dead Of night,
who were transported to different wards Of
the city, supplied with refreshments, and in
the meantime the boon companion Of a Lo-
cofoco alderman of the city. who paid for the
liquors which lie aud they drank together.
How can the good Freemen of Vermont
rest easy when they sec the destiny of the
whole Union thus jeap ardized by vilainou:
system ofleitiug loose gangs Of felOns from
the penirentiaries OF Men York to neutral
ize the suffrases fjust so many honest and
intelligent voters in Vermont or elsen here.
There can bs no reasonable doubt that ten
thousand or more illegal votes we're cast in
the State Of New York at the last Presidcn-
tial campaign. and that tho political charae-
ter Of the whole Union has thus been mos
fatally decided. And shall our noble rsPub
lie be longer ruled by felons aud culprits who
are thus allowed Ia siiile The voice Of iuielli
gent and patriotic freemen yea, shall the
security of our lives, our liberties aud prop
erty. and the prosperity OF this great coun-
try, be endangered by the fragrant villanies
practiced by locsioco ofIicc-hOlders Of emp
tying the inmates of our peuilenIiaries into
our streets, and pnlluiinS the ballot boxes by
their presence
To show how these things are done in Ih'
city Of New York we give our readers eH-
tracts from recent presentnent Of a Granl
Jury in the city OF y. York. 20 be found II

THE OBJECT OE THE WAR.

A writer in South Carolina paper, can
didly admits that the great object to be gal
ned by war with Mexico is the extension oil
the Southern slave power. and he already
rejoices in the anticipated downfall OF the
North, and the establishment of the South
ern supremacy in all time 10 come. The
object was well enough known before, but
IFS avowal was not expected until the whole
scheme was 'cOnsummated. The blood and
treasure of the North are 10 be used as the
means of perpetually enslaving our people,
and rendering them and their interests ior-
ever dependent upon the vagaries oil South
ern theory, and they are coolly told Of II be-
forchand. The writer says
Every battle foughtin Mexico. and every
dollar spent there bit insures the acquisi-
ton of territory which must widen the field
OF Southern enterprise and power in the lu-
ture. And the final result will be to read
just the whole balance Of power in the con-
fedoracy, so as TO give us control over the
operations of the government in all time TO
come. 1.-THE South be but true TO ihemsel-
YES, the day of our depression and suffer

THE BRITISH IN CONNECTICUT

The Locofoco leaders in Connecticut have

Niles was CONDEMNED 'as unsound in theory
ard erroneous in fact By vote of So 10 20 4;
and resolution. approving Of Vice President
Dallas's vote for the Polko- British Tariff,
was adopted by like vote. We chronicle
this fact for the benefi, Of the Locns in Yer
mont. Not long since. Protection was as
fashionable among the Locos of Connecticut
as il had been in Vermont; they professed
their favor TO it as strongly and as loudly as
any body else: bu; they have abandoned
that ground, and now cast John NJ. Niles
overheard for daring 10 be honest. Well
this is the point TO which the Locoioco party
must come. ere long, every where, those
who 90 for The old fashioned democratic doc
trine Of protection, must be turned over 10
the Wing ranks, with Niles of Connecticut
and Cameron of Pennsylvania-and those
who go the whole for British Free Trade
will stick 10 James X. Polk and the Tariff Of
