The country viii bear us witness that whenever
there happens to be little unusual pressure upon
business--when manufacturing establishments are
made to feel that all is not profit nor even solyency
wearo enlightened by various discussions about the
propriety and necessity Of remodeling the revenue
laws, so as to afford protection to certain branches
ofindustry. We have in tho United States power
fal and paramount agricultural interest which is just
now considerably depressed in consequence Of the
arrangements business during the past season We
do not find the farmers demanding Of Congress spc-
cial protection, aid, or bounty laws TO help thom
along. They are sufferers but they do not expect
relief Of the government. How is such relief to be
afforded to one branch of industry without charging
or taxing another2 1t will not surely be contended
that laws are machines by which money is made
Laws do not make money; they simply effect distr-
button between capital and labor. Now, how is it
possible to speciality to one class without
fixing another to the excntof the benefit conferedg
tt perfectly natural that where capital has been
aggregated into one grand scheme, it should find
organs Of speech and make special appeals to the
legislature for aid either directly or indirectly All
reyehue laws are special god-sends to manufactu-
ring industry, aud to that end we are content to
soc them on the statutc-books and enforced in the
public administration; but we cannot bnt regard
with suspicion the attempts made to revive protec-
tive laws on no better foundation than the constant
lyrecurring vicsstudes Of trade. Another year
WILL in all likelihood, bring back general resump-
ton of business. Money is now Of very triaing
value, is very abundant, and much Of unemployed.
This state Of things cannot long exist and to legis-
a,e change in the affairs Of the public would be in
the last degree absurd Itwould be Just sensible
70 tax tho comet for its nightly exhibitions in the
northwest and make arrangements for a permanent
revenue from that source.

FRA'I'ERNIZING.

The correspondent Of the ST. Louis Republican,
speaking Of the bad prospects, Of Mr.. Lincoln, and
the hopes Of his followers dashed % atoms by the
position of the little giant, 7 says:
The republicans who, party have befouled their
own nest with these filthy BIRDS are now nightly
chop-allen IL is plain now to the most honest of them
that Iincolns position is no anti slavery than
Douglas and that Douglas has the advantage OF being
honest and out-sposen, while Lincoln goes in for human
equality at the North and for white equality at the
south. The republicans tired of this game, and
thousands Of them will go for Douglas out Of pure sy M
pathy for his noble course in the Senate last winter"

Thus far in the season the health of

learn, of all this portion of Kanzas, has
been exceedingly good. We are apprehen-
sive, however, that Bilious diseases will be

great deal of stagnant water on the
