TARIrF FOR PROTECTION.

The true principles Of personal liberty
entitlo every man to purchase what he wants
where he can do so on the best terms, and
to sell where he can obtain the best price.
The conduct Of man everywhere in the bust.
ness of buying and selling is always most
wisely regulated by the law Of intelligent
self. interest. They need no tariff laws, nor
tinkering MD of any XII d from Legislators
to instruct them whore or on what terms to
buy or sell. The laws which control all
intelligent m must be free and an.
written. They are always best regulated
where they are self.regulated.
Our systems Of import and excise duties
are extremely vicious, expensive. and com.
plicated by reason Of the attempt, On the
part of Congress to embrace every article of
production, either domestic or foreign, which
finds a market in our country. 1t is by such
agencies, in connection with an irredeemable
and redundant national currency, that all
prices are inflated to the starving point, the
industries of the country are made to tremble
upon the verge of ruin, and agriculture, the
greatest and most unfailing source Of our
national prosperity, ismade to languish. 1t
is thus that our commercial marine has been
expelled from the ocean, our foreign trade
DESTROYED, and the American people com.
PEELED to pay tribute into the Golfers Of
-other n~ations.
If the people of our country were to-day
free to trade with other countries, restrained
only by a wisely adjusted tariff for revenue,
with Incidental protection, the taxes imposed
upon them, no matter what its AMOUNT might
be, would be shared by the whole CONNER
cial world, instead of by merely the eight
million productive population residing in
this country. As it is we are annually pay
ing millions of tribute TO other nations by
reason Of our restrictive and prohibitOry pei
icy, for which we receive no reciprocal return
from them. II is evident to whatever extent
We trade with foreign nations that the pro-
ducts they buy Of us carry with them the
taxes they bear ; therefore, the more of our
products we sell abroad the larger the
number of persons to share our burden Of
taxation; and of course the freer our trade
the more we sell, because the more we buy.
As we augment the volume of our trade and
commerce, whether domestic or foreign, the
more desires we crafty and the more profits
we make, because trade and commerce,
either at home or abroad, being always con-
trolled by the lave of intelligent self.interest,
will inevitably cease, the moment they cease
u yield the desired results.
Protection cramps and restraints or mis-
directs and demoralizes the energies of the
people. and a day must come when, rendered
desperate by oppression, they viii rise up
and put an end to it forever.

Radical Prescription.

On the Saturday after tho late election in
Connecticut, the Hartford Times contained
the follwing
We have chronicled the fact that the Re.
publican managers of the factories in Rock
willie, have discharged fifty Of their employees
who vote the Democratic ticket. They put
il on the ground that they were members Of
the Rockville Workingmen's League, and
say they will turn away every operative in
the various mills who belongs to shat League.
They have ut tho same time added an hour n
day to tho hours of llbor-making twelve
honrs-and cut down their wages ten per
cent. This infamous prescription of men
who differ with them in politics shows how
insincere the Republicans were in claiming,
before the election, to be the friends and
champions of the workingmen, 1t docs not
cow down tho w~orkingmen SO much Us these
New England slave drivers expected it would;
for the names Of fifty new members were
enrolled on the League tho very night fol.
lowing the day Of this prescription. Many
of the discharged men have dependent fami.
lies and need assistance.
In Portland the most shameful coercion Of
workingmen has for years been practiced by
the Republican employers. Men were told
by open proclamation that they should lose
their situations if they dared to vote tho
Democratic ticket That shameful course
gave the town last year to the Radicals, but
they met some difficulty in repeating the
programme this year, for the workingmen
organized q Protective League, and a%nnoune.
ed their purpose 10 vote. Most of them did
vote and they carried the town, gaining
sixty or seventy votes.
For this assertion of their rights as free.
men, the quarrymen were notified by the
quarry-owners that their services will not be
required for the year 10 come.
But this prescription proved too bad a
dose even for the Republican w~orkingmcn,
on whom the 1uarry-owners relied to contin-
ue work. These men on learning of the
shameful treatment to which their fellow.
workmcn had been subjected, acted like men.
They threw down their picks aud drills, and
told the owners that they would no longer
work.
The result is hat a thousand men have,
since Tuesday, been idle at Portland, aud at
all the q~uarries work has ceased.

Fon wuAr ?-Beniamin r. Butler i

FoR WHAT Benjamin +. Butler is
sending the report of his polcmic ''set 70"
with Bingham On the floor of Congress
throughout the length and breadth ofthe
land. For what purpose? Is it merely
to show the country that if he failed to o.
chieve renown on the field of Mars he is
able to contest with the ablest in the arena
Of disputation aud not come offsecond best?
Or Is it merely to make a sensation By the
boldness of his insinuations touching the
suppression of testimony by the assistant
Judge Advocate that would have demon
strated the innocence Of Mrs. Surratt of ali
completely in the crime of assassination ?
Or does he actually know that Mrs. Surratt
was hung not merely without being proven
guilty, but hung while the proofs of her in
nocencc were in possession of the Govern
ment prosecutors, but kept back from the
commission that tried her that her convic-
ton and execution might be placed beyond
all doubt These are questions which a
justiceIoving public are growing impa.
tent to see answered.

GENERAL LEE.-EothiDg could be more
modest and unobtrusive than the course Of
Gen. Lee since the surrender to Gen.
Grant. He has had nothing to do with
politics, and, as We learn, does not so much
as read the newspapers. His time and
attention are exclusively devoted to the
performance of his duties as President of
Washington college, where, upon a salary
Of $500 or $4,000, he lives in the plain.
ness and simplicity which have always
characterized the man. His example Is
one which should command the respect
Of his enemies and the imitation of his
friends. No one ever bears from him &
solitary word which savors Of -querlonsness
or discomfort. Cheerful and true, he Is
erander in adversely, and, tested by all
circumstances, exhibits an equality Of
spirit which is proof alike against the fat
terics and the frowns Of fortune.1rBalti-

-SISGULARITIEs OF SgFFRAGE.-A nice COM
mentary upon the Radical demand for inn
partial suffrage in the South, says the N. Y.
Sun, is found IN the fact that only eight of
the twenty. two States controlled by the
Radicals permit such suffrage. OF the New
England States, Connecticut is the only one
that refuses the ballot to coIored men. Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont make no dis
t%inction whatever in respect to suffrage, but
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island do. The
laws of Massachusetts, require the voter to be
able to read the Constitution of the United
States in the English language and to write
his name. Rhode Island likewise INDUCES
in q little Know-N othingism in its suffrage
law, by declaring that every native male
citizen may vote. In New York negroes
with certain qualifications are allowed to
vote /; that is, such as are worth two hundred
and fifty dollars, and have been in the State
three years. In Wisconsin, negroes are
allowed to vote by virtue of a decision by
the Supreme Court of that State upon a
technicality. In Ohio the greater part of the
negroes vote, although the lay gives the
ballot only to those who have more than
half white blood. .Dlarkeys who are black
as charcoal can vote there in the Radical dis
tricts, under the half white law. In nearly
all Of the other States, however, the Radicals
have declined, by tests in popular elections,
to give the negroes that which they so
~strenuously insist the Southern people shall
give them.

IGNORANCE AsD SUPERsTIsIox."-Re.
Gently, says the Philadelphia Age, in the
Senate Of the United States, Mr.. Ferry. a
Radical, made use Of the following language
in attempting to explain the result Of the late
election in Connecticut
The vote Of the Republicans vas larger
than that Of last year. The Democratic vote
was increased by the naturaiized vote.
Owing to this cause the Republicans always
had a hard battle TO fight. They must win
accessions Of Americans reared in their
schools and churches, wkiIe the ignorance
and sn~perstaiOn o the Old World are poured
into the ranks IF the party riM which has
colleague acas proud to affiliate.
Whenever the Radicals can insult and
sneer at our adopted citizens they unhesitat-
ihgly do 50. and yet they are continually
trying 70 get their votes at every ballot. box
in the country.

THE Sooner THE BETTER.-The Cincinnati
Enquirer keeps it before the people that 9,
100000 Onion votes have ZIG members Of
Congress, while 3 SOC, 900 Democratic votes
have but sixty members. Well, what of it,
asks the Times. Whereupon the Enquirer
responds There is this about it:
l. It stops, or should stop, the assertion Oh
~ignoramuses that the people of the country
are opposed to the Presidents restoration
policy. They are not, but a majority of 9
million are in favor of it.
2. 1t shows that the pretended representa-
tiyes of the people no longer represent their
will, but fagrantly m~isrepresent it.
3. 1t intimates that s'there is something
rotton in Denmark y something that mus
be corrected, or else we must abandon al
claim to be considered a country under Dem.
ocratic institutions. If 2 500, 900 votes are
to rule 3 800, 900 votes, the sooner it is I'M
derstood the better.

Professor Agassiz. one Of the most
learned naturalists Of the age, recently
delivered a course of lectures in New York
from one Of which, relating to the different
races Of men, We make the following ex.
tract.
Il have pointed out over a hundred
specific differences between the bonal and
nervous systems of the white man and ne
gro. Indeed. their frames are alike 10 no
particular. There is not a bone in the
negroes body which is relatively Of the
same shape, size, articulation or chemical.
ly of the same composition, as that & the
white man. The negroes bones contain
a far greater per centage Of calcareons
salts than those of the white man. Even
the negroes blood is chemically a very
different fluid from that which courses ID
the veins OF the white man. The whole
physical organism Of the negro differs
quite az much from the white mans - il
does from that Of the chimpanzee-that
is in his bones, muscles, nerves, and ibers,
the chimpanzee has not much further to
progress to become u negro than the ne
gro has TO become a white man. This fact
science inexorably demonstrates.
= a
Climate has no more to do with the
difference between the white man aud ne
gro han it has with that between the negro
and the chimp1nzee, or tbanFt has between
the horse and the ass, or the eagle and owl.
Each is a distinct and separate creation.
The negro and the white men we're created
as specifically different as the owl and the
eagle. They were designed TO fill different
places in the system OF nature. The ne
gro is no moro a negro By accident or mis-.
fortune than the owl il the kind Of bird
he is by accident or misfortune. The ne.
gro IL no more the white mans brother
than the owl il the sister Of the eagle, or
than the ass is the brother of the horse.
How ~stupendous, and yet how simple, is
the doctrine that the Almighty Maker of
the universe has created different species
of mon, just as he has different species Of
the lover animals, to fill different places
and Offices in the grand scenery Of ma
ture p
