The increase Is only apparent after all, for
last year the canal tolls were extremely low
lower than they ever were before; and in the
present year they are still below an average.
The cause Of the increase Is twofold-irst the
canals which were sadly out OF order,
have been repaired; and, secondly, there was
not much produce to send last year, and
IL was forwarded chiefly by railroad, that IL
might bring return Of cash as soon as posi-
Bile; whereas this year the produce on hand IL
abundant. and though the new has not yet
found Its way to market, il has pushed forward
the old to make room for 1t. In 1852 the canal
tolls amounted TO some s3,I00,o00. But the
canals and the public interests have been i'm
molated 10 the railroad interest In 1872 the
leaders Of the party who tried to break down tho
canals for the benefit of the railroads declared
that the canals could not convey another ton

were then reduced twenty per cent nad yet
the increase Of receipts was half a million of
dollars. a further reduction of twenty per
cent took place. and there was. stiil an
increase of receipts, proving that the ca
pacity had been entirely misrsppesented.
From The beginning the canals have been
mismaeaged. and rendered a sorrse Of pnt''a

created between Northern AM Southern Pres
byterian communions among us, and every
effort has been made to divide the other
churches.
During all this time "the Massachusetts
school, has shown itself to be the constant and
devoted adherent of British interests Its pro-
pagandists have ever sought in England the ap-
pianse and sympathy which has been denied
them at home. We need cite only the conduct
observed towards Mrs. Stowe some years since
and the sympathy to-day extended to Dr.
Cheever, to prove this. At last the time came
to divide political parties in obedience to Bri-
| fish interests, and "the Massachusetts, school,
WAS, as ever, the ready instrument. But Mas
sachusetts' first son stood in the way. The
SCHOOL" however, knew no ties of blood or
kindred, and Webster was sent to his grave
| even bis statue denied place in Massachusetts,
halls, because his patriotism would not bend to
the behests Of British schemers. While these
destructive efforts were going on in the West,
the most strenuous exertions were made to
build up competing interest in the East
American cotton seed American cotton gins
and American overseers were sent to India,
and every possible encouragement has been
given to the cultivation of cotton there, of
coffee in Ceylon, and of sugar in Mauritius and
other places.
These are the great outlines of the labors Of
"the Massachusetts school" and their British
masters; and to-day Mr.. Seward, fresh from
England, and from conference with the de-
structive tribe of British aboliionists, comes
forward boldly to proclaim the "higher law"
whose behests he bad learned in Massschu-
sets, and to urge on the brutal and bloody
''irrepressible conflict" to which he assures US
that Lincoln owns his obligation, and &C.
knowledges that his only claim to the Presi.
dency is, that he ''avows himself, for veal or
for woe, for life or for death, soldier" in its
ranks. Let the patriotic and conservative i'm
pulse in every American heart ponder upon
the awful import of these confessions, and
guard bis hand from giving support through
the traitorous Massachusetts school," to the
designs of the worst enemies of bis country.

Surely the republican candidate for Presi-
dent knows what his own opinions are little
better than General Webb and he sees that the

end is attained, and that "this government
cannot endure permanently half slave and half
Free" We ask any man of candor to say whe-
of the republican creed, the foundation on
which Mir. Lincoln carried on his political cam
paign in Illinois, is not dramatically opposed
to the creed set forth by Chevalier Webb. We
now come to the speech Of Senator Seward
delivered in October Of the same year, and we
also quote it from Greeley's' book, at page
l6l:-
These antagonisc systems continually coming into

this collision means? They who think that Is Ii accidental

Look upon this picture and upon the picture
presented by Master Webb. What can be more
different? One creed is creed of compromise
and peace, and the protection of slavery. The
other is creed of irreconcilabe and never
ending, Incorporating antagonism-war to
the knife against slave labor-an irrepressibie,
enduring confict-which means that the uni
ted States must, sooner or later, become entire
ly free labor nation" Here is the true re-
publican creed, and it is rather too late in the
day for Chevalier Webb to try to substitute
another in its place, when he finds the strong
tide of conservatism setting in against his party
and threatening to sweep it to perdition.

NEW YoRK. Jan. "a
The Tnbuno's Washington coFresp udence
rays no testimony has been given before the
Committee Ot Investigation in any way Hmplica
ting Republicans with John Browns raid. Mr.
Realf states enIpbatically that tho movement
WAS known to but few persons, ss Brown was
a secretiyo man and kept bis own cuunsels.-
None who accompanied him to Harpers Ferry
but Kagi was informed of the plan, which did
not contemplate running off negroes. He says
also that Brown and those in his confidence
were radical abolitiOnists whJ denounced the
Republicans When Senator Wilson made his
speech in Lawrence, they assailed him failing
to spproach their standard of duty Mr.. Wilson
appeared before the Committee and stated that
he had written to Dr. Howe, Of Boston, for
original letters which had been referred to by
Realf That letter was written in May, 1858,
and substantially tells DR.. Howe that iniOrmas
ton has reached him 10 the effect that Brown
intended using arms furnished for Kansas, by
the Mass. Aid Society, in manner not contem,
plated, and advises that they should be with
drawn from him.
Mr.. Blair, OF OOllinsville, who manufactured
the pixies which figured at HarPers Ferry, states
that they were ordered during The Kansas
trouble as weapons OF protection.
Mr Calender, Cashier Of b nix at Hartford.
proves that Brown has friends there which
were drawn on to furnish supplies for Kanas.
Neither had the remotest idea Of the movement
in Virginia till it was published.
The Herald's correspondence says Realf con-
cluded his testimony before ths Committee to-
day. Il was detailed account of the Organi-
zalion of the Brown Provincial Government in
Canada, which has already been published. He
testified that be went to England in 1858, and
knew nothing about Browns operations after
that time. He was requested to examine GER
tain letters found in Browne bag to see if he
could identify, but testified that he knew moth
ing about Browns correspondents or the au-
thofship Of the letters. Itis evident that some
members Oflhe Committee have been disaPPoin-
ted Realfs testimony, he having testified to
nothing OF any Importance that was not before
in evidence.
Mr.. B, b. Menter, the Vermont member ofths
National Kansas Committee aud previously
the leader of q colony at MapletOn, Bourbon
county, Kansas, confirmed the testimony Of
Mr.. Coming. The refusal of the National Com
mttee to furnish arms to Brown in 1857 when
he commenced testifyiug in relation TO the inS
vasiOn OF Kansas by armed bodies Of men,
He was stopped.
Senator Wilson went before the Committee
to-day and informed them that in time he would
produce a copy Of the letter to DR.. Howe cOa-
cerning the movements of Brown, based upon
the information he receives from Col Forbes
He went to Lstick for it.
The Chairman informed him they were wil-
ling to give him his own time to prepare his
testimony. The President sent to the Senate
the name ofThOs, HUyne, as Marshal for the
Northern District of Illinois.
