The American Free Trade League has
issued an address to the American people,
in which we find the following true and i'm
portant statement:
" IF there were no protective tariffs, the
great crop of the west, so much of i: as is
not consumed at home, would procure for
the men and women gho have produced it,
personal comforts of douJle measure COM
pared acih those they nor get from It, So
also of the crops of cotton and tobacco. IF
the whole surplus crop of the west in grain
and pork, and beef, so much as is exported,
could be put into the hands of one agent
and he be authorized to carry it abroad and
there sell it and bring back the proceeds in
the shape of goods free Of duty at our Gus
tom house we would get, for the surplus
crop, thrice as MANY blankets, thrice as
mony clothes, t'eice as much railroad iron
as we now get"

its example, when holder grown ?


If the people are tame now under such
fragrant attractions of Constitutional law,
under such total disregard Of the maxims
of aswise and conservative policy, and of
the Constitutional rights of minCrit;ss,
what, I ask, would such party have to
fear were it to attempt to overthrow eUey
State organization, and to incorporate the
whole OF our broad domain into one mighty
empire?
The rivalry of ambitious spirits that
prefer dominion and government in hell to
servitude in heaven-mig ht indeed render
such an attempt impracticable.
But successful demagogues are often in
toxicated by the possession Of power, and
become like. the wild horse that obeys
neither bit nor curb. To them Constitu-
tons are ropes of sand, and checks and bal
ances are always meant for others, and free
speech only for themselves.
All these things, and more, have been
and are upon us until the consequent woes
are everywhere felt; honest industry is
nearly overpowercd by burdens, and our
government trembles on the verge of ruin.
BY these and similar means all former re-
pubics have died; and thus must ours die,
if honest, faithful helmsmen who guide the
ship OF state are not sustained against mu-
tlnous crews, and mutineers compelled to
give place to more honest and better men
If you, fellow citizens, if we, the people,
will not abandon our factious propensities
and attachments, our political idolatries,
our wild fanaticisms and our damnable am
bition to domineer over others and to reg
ulate their affairs; and, on the contrary
learn to love the Government for the sake
of cherished principles especially wher
the Government secures to the country un
paralleled bessings-and to obey because
obedience brings tranquility; learn correc
principles Of social and political intercourse
and in all cases to cherish sacred regard
for the rights Of others.

Theory vs.. Practice.

Perhaps no party ever existed in
any country that have preached one
thing and practiced another to such an ex-
tent as the Radical party Of the United
States.
When they first set up party they made
loud professions in favor of equal federation.
No,c they make United States Bonds ex-
empt from taxation and take one hundred
and eighty million dollars per year from the
working men of the country to give to bond
holders who stayed at home, while thou
sands of these over-taxed workingmen went
to the battlefield and risked their lives
returning home with shattered constitutions
to work and support those whose patriotism
consisted in merely lending their money at
uSurious rates and shouting tcopperhcad"
and traitor at all those who really believe in
equal taxation.
They at one time shouted Stree speech,
free press and free Kansas" Afterwards,
they mcbbcd democratic printing offices for
exposing the incompetency of their Gen
erals, the dishonesty of their Office holders,
and the corruption of their party generally.
They sacrificed the lives Of 500, 900 men,
estensibly to restore the Union, and impris-
oned all men land even women too) who
would not swear they were carrying on
things exactly right. Now they would if
they dared imprison men who wish to see
the Union restored in all its pristine purity.
They said they believed in abolishing the
slave aristocracy," and did abolish it
Now they have bond-holding aristocracy,
and white men instead of negroes must be
slaves and work for it and pay all its taxes.
They said they were great friends to the
negro, but no sooner was he set free than
they passed law compelling him to pay
Eve cents pound tax on all cotton that he
might raise.
They say they are 10 favor of protecting"
labor, but let white laboring man whish
for fair remuneration, and they import cool
les from China to work for ten cents day,
as is the case in Radical California.
And so might we go on and on to the ex-
tent Of filling our paner week after week,
with the trcachery, deceit and double-deal-
ing of the Janus faced party, which is one
thing out of power and another thing when
they have that power; but we forbear, let
the people recolect these promises, few of
the many only that they have violated, and
when they put forth new catch-alls in their
party platform to stand aloof from them
and avoid them as they would the deadly
Upas tree, for verify all future support Civ
en- them will be but adding more and more
to the enslavement OF the people.

June. The greater part of indigo and su-

Johnson and his Cabinet.

One of the results Of the late imbroglio
in the Cabinet is a strong probability that
Mr.. SEWARD will resign his portfolio as
Secretary of State, in consequence of his
non agreement with the President in re-
gard to the removal Of STANTON. it is to
be hoped that this rumor will turn out to
be true, and that the arbitrator to liberty
will retire to the shades of private life,
where he will be of no further use to the
British government in the capacity of
supple tool and swift friend to that power.
During the war thousands of Irishmen
poured out their life blood in behalf of the
Union, and they were made promises pre-
vious to their enlistment that whenever the
United States should have the power she
would repay their acts of devotion and he
roism by friendly help to enable them to
free their country. How we'll these prom
Uses were kept, we all know in the manner
with which SEWARD acted the part of spy
and informer for the British. Surely, no
one would wish to see the Uuited States
take sides against the English government
without some cause directly affecting her
interests, but still Mr.. SEWARD went con-
siderably farther than he was bound to go
by the rules of diplomacy, and showed
himself very plainly to be friend of ty-
rany and foe to liberty for the white man.
1t is to be hoped that the recent break in
the Cabinet will result in one thing more,
and that Mr.. SEWARD will not wait on the
order of his going, but go at once.

STANTON AND MCCLELLAN.-A New

of the course of Stanton with reference to
Mcclellan, says:
" He (McClclland) was looked upon by
the whole country as man destined to
close the war in blaze of glory. and the
case became desperate for political conspir-
ators in the cabinet To this soldier there
fore, Stanton rcsolutely applied his muir
derous memorable policy, determined to
kill the soldier even though he Killed the
country. He broke that army into detach-
ments, and paralyzed it by hampering the
commander with all pitiful conditions. He
succeeded in forcing the failure of that
campaign, and there and elsewhere destroy
ing the soldier, though, by pushing away
the success then within our grasp, he cans-
ed the war to reach the proportions it did,
and piled up the great debt that now weighs
upon us.

Turning Prosperity into Misfortune.

The New York Ecenia1 Post, radical
paper on all subjects but that Of ''Protcc-
tion," gives some curious illustrations of
how its party friends turn prosperity into
misfortune by robbing the many to make
rich the few:
Last February we had occasion to warn
the country against the efforts OF biologists
and other scientific busy bodies to discover
new mineral deposits within the United
States. What these gentlemen call the
''bounties of nature will presently be the
death of US. Every new discovery OF this
kind, instead of adding to our wealth. only
takes more money out Of our pockets
We instanced then the case of emery,
which is an article of great use and necesi-
ty in various Industries; until lately We i'm
ported it from abroad, and we are able to
obtain it in spite of the distance it had to
be transported, at tolerably reasonable
rate. But not long ago natural deposit
OF emery was discovered in Massachusetts,,
and the owners of it. desiring to work it,
Immediately demanded of Congress to lay a
heavy duty on foreign emery by way Of
protecting" them. The result Of such a
duty, Of course, must be, that all who use
emery will have to pay higher price for
1t than before, simply because we atc so
unlucky as to possess a natural supply OF it
at home.
The same is true of borax, an article of
absolute necessity in many useful indus
tries. Until lately we obtained borax from
Europe; not long ago some prying mlnera-
logist found supply in California and in
stantly Congress was asked to lay heavy
duty on foreign borax to ''protect" the
owners of the home supply. That is to
say, because Providence gave our country
this element of natura! wealth, tinsmiths
and others are to pay double for all the bo-
rax they use.
The same is true of several earthly color
ing materials, chromes, which have lately
been discovered and utilized in Maryland
the manufacturers there at once demanded
protection BY a heavy duty on the for
eign articles.
As though this was not enough, it is now
reported that large deposits of tin ore have
been discovered in Missouri. OF course,
the owners of these tin mines will demand
protection for their Industry )" that is
to say, they will require a heavy duty on
| foreign tin as bounty to themselves
| Thus. a metal of universal use and neces-
sity will be made dear, because Providence
happens to nave given US supply of it in
our own territory.
''The richer we are the poorer we are
bound to be, under this system of ''plotec-
ton If we had no iron in the country
we might be permitted by the protection
lists to buy our iron in the cheapest market;
but as we have unfortunately abundance of
iron ore, we are compelled to pay twice as
much as we ought for all the iron we use.
Is it not little absurd to speak Of our ''na-
tionai wealth. of the ''bounty of Provi-
dence,' of oar mineral riches, while the
protectionists make our laws, and turn into
curse which nature, who is not a protec-
| ZIONIST, intended for a blessing p
