The manufacturers Of Massachusetts and
all those who are wringing fromthe honest
laborers Of the country the fruits of their
toll, by the operations of the present op.
Pressive tariff system, are resorting to ev.
cry method 10 avert the blow which beyond
doubt awaits it. BY this scheme Of inus.
tice, and fraud upon the laboring masses
they have accumulated immense fortunes
and now they are using every effort to pre-.
vent its repeal. All their exertions will
prove abortiye. They can no longer say
the arm Of justice, which is uplifted to strike
down a system Of monopoly subversive Of
the very principles upon which is reared
our plain, republican form of government
Afriend in Washington, who is sbrewd
observer Of the events which are transpir.
ing there, thus writes US in reference to the
plan they have recently devised to shape,
according to their will the action Of Con.
gress. "They are putting up a very large
building here, Or the alledged purpose Of
holding national fair. Ii Is intended to
exhibit all articles of domestic manufacture.
The wish to create the impression that
American manufactures can be sold az
cheat as British. The design Of all this
is to operate in favor Of the high protective
tariff vote in Congress. La view Of accom-.
plishing their object, $4,000 were subscri.
bed towards the fair by the tarifites Of
Boston. Take this, in connexion with the
act, that Daniel Webster has received
100000 in manufacturing stock, and
very serious and alarming picture Of cor.
-uPtion presents ITSELF The press should
De loud in its structures upon this gigantic
scheme Of bribery"

resounded in our midst--and summoned
our citizens TO ARMS Hhas summoned

Neither has the call been made in vain.-
AS true and brave a band az ever girded

declared, #.'sa F" ta to# er@'
"our bosdmS we'll bare to the glorious strife /"
This noble band is not composed alone
Of the young, and the vigorous in body
Old veterans whose heads are silvered ore
with the frost Of many winters--whO were
nursed amid therude storms Of the Revolu-
ton, and who fought the battles Of their
country during the last war have voIun.
teered their services and have resolved to
strike for it another blow Their bodies
are trembling beneath the weight Of many
years, but their brave hearts are full of
patriotism, and Of affection for their coun.

The young men who have enlisted in the
service have proven that the noble spirit Of
'76 animates them-and will receive the
gratitude Of their cOuntrymen.
P. S.-Since the above was putito type
we have learned that the rumor published

The following article breathes the righ
spirit, and we cheerldlly give it place il
our columns. Il is from one Of tho people
and speaks the sentiments that pervadei
among the masses. The author is right
\" War under any circumstances is heav,
calamity" but who would not prefer it tc
an ignoble peace, or a stain upon Onr " ma
tons honor or fair name."
For the Kdzoo Democrat.
Mr.. EDITOR.-War under any circum.
stances, even in defence Of life or property
is heavy calamity, and should not be in.
duced from slight or trivial causes-but ali
honorable means used whereby It may be
avoided. But the cringing policy which
would sooner pay for our right than de.
mand it, is calculated to produce ratherthan
prevent war-and peace obtained at such a
sacrifice ofhonor and right costs too much,
to be enjoyed or desired. War may make
desolate our hearth stones, but they may be
rendered cheerful again--it may lay waste
fine plantations--but they can again be
cultivated--it may depOPulate whole dis
tricts If country--but they may again be
PoPulated7-it may lay in ashes large towns
and cities-but they can be rebuilt-but
one stain upon a nations honor or fair
name has no antidOte--it will live in sono
after the government shall die-and the
ivy grown old upon its tomb, and busted
with antiquity, it win still be handed down
from age to age, blackning as it goes
while deeds Of chiyalry and high daring,
fade, and may be forgotten. And why is
lhisl is it because the judgment of man.
kind is corrupt Not at all. Il is because
