The RIGHrs OF LABoR.-Not many days
since we had our attention drawut to a notice of
work by this title from the pen of Mr.. Calvin
Cotton, known as Wing writer of considerable
celebrity.
Having knowledge of the ability of this
Gentleman We felt greatly DESTROYS of exanin-
ing his latest effort, and began to cast about us
for the means of obtaining it. Happening to
call few hours afterwards at the Post Office
We found the book in our box. Our own per-
sonal wishes being thus gratifed we are called
upon to repay our obligation to the writer and
fulfil our duty to our readers, by introducing the
work to the public. The author, as is doubt
less known to our readers is a staunch defend
err of the protective System" advocated by his
party, and his book is most cogent and con-
sistent indication of that system, unmarried by
any appearance ofparty violence. To the wing
and democrat, this work is alike important ar
med with the arguments il furnished the former
need not fear blu, he can credibly engage in the
toughest encounter, while the latter, if he has
carefully examined and met them to his own
satisfaction, may advance with full confidence
that he is acquainted with all his enemy's wea-
pons. We cannot give better idea of the
Book in as small space than by copying the
''Table of Contents" entire.
