JOHN wHEELER-cHAs. IL. MARSHALL

We had intended to say nothing more with
respect to the contest for Member Of Congress in
the With District, but the letter Of J. L. II. in
our last challenges some notice at our hands.
We hope not to be required to speak again.
In opposing Capt. Marshalls election, we mean
no disparagement to him as merchant and
citizen. We believe he enjoys and deserves the
esteem of those with whom, as equal, he comes
into contact. But we do not believe he is fit
man to represent the spirit which the passage of
Douglass Nebraska bill has aroused in the Free
States.
j. L. H. tells US that Capt. n condemns the
passage Of the Nebraska act We never doubted
il. Where is the intelligent man that doe, not
condemn il, unless he has some party or personal
interest to uphold BY taking the eide of Slavery
and compact breaking Bat rhat does Gait.

Coal is higher at this time than it has been for
several years past:

and yet how largely have we all proited by the
large supplies of cheap fuel and power since it
was opeEed. There ape two sides to this ques
ton, and We desire that our readers should look
at both Of them.
Our free trade neighbors have been accustomed
to tell US much of the extraordinary prosperity of
the country, and it would seem but reasonable
that the men to whom we are indebted for cheap
fuel and cheap power should profit little and en-
deavor to obtain some, if even very small, divi-
dends. Free-trade sympathises, however, only
with Wall.st. General prosperity in the view Of
its advocates, consists in enabling the BelmOnts
and the Rothsehilds TO swell their fortunes st the
rate Of one or two per cent. per month, and crush
ing the small trader or manufacturer under their
demands-and this they call democracy!
