Fifteon Thousand Workmon Idle.

Our readers will tc prepared, from tho
statistics which we have already given
them' to hear that according to the osti-
mate Of u Now York paper, there arc Gfteen
thousand men i'll the United States out of
steady work, in some. way or another,
come ctcd with ship building. This par
!ic"lar industry wns, at ono time, in most
hourIsh'ng condition in the United States,
giving employment 10 large number Of
ar'izans nnd mechanics, and adding to tho
national wealth. Why is it depressed now :
simply because, by the operation of The
unnatural laws Of protection the builders
arc not enabled to get the materials which
enter into the manufacture Of ships at tl,cjr
market price. The customs duty on iron
has been raised so high for the bcuofi, of II
small class otiron masters in PENNSYLVANIA
.hat 'h"se who nre compelled to usc iron
nave nave |" pay for i, - much greater price than
tney could get IL for elsewhere, And so
with other articles. The iron masters nrc
"pro! octc,l" that the shir.hri,lrrs onJ ,hn
thousands of families dry.eislin. upon shin
building should starv": ,ha, the railroads
shoni" nc 20 burd2nrd with high priced
rams "nl machinery that they must charge
rninons ireights OH the farmers product.
ms - always the why in which protection,
rs rs called, works. y pnrticulnr kind of
industry appears to flourish, but NJ the cost
OF some other forms Of industry With
con' md iron nt their very doors there is
no reason why tho Pennsylvania iron men
should demand protection; or, in other
words SHOULD ask to rob the whnlr comnu-
n'ty fo' their benefit. They ou,ht. with
INC advantage in their favor Of Atlantic
fr'nght, insurance. aud other charges, to be
able to compete with foreign nations in tho
Manufacture of iron. We have 10 doubt
they could for their profits now arc cnor
NOUS the whole capital invested often being
made III single year. The result of pro.
'cciing The iron-masters is,he enhancement
81 the prices Of iron, and this enhancement
forces other people to charge high prices
ierartic!es they mako into which iron en-
ters; or failing to get this increased price,
he industry falls to the ground. This is
always The way in which '.protccion"
works. The United States will never gct
on NC right commercial track until they
drop tho protective system which now ham
rors tho country's progress SO frighlfully.-

Tho Pal MnN Gazette and the ,Sctur
d"y R'use'o arc very severe on Longfcl
lows last volume. The Guzette says:
"fhcy are musical they arc moral
they have all an air of chastcned and
slightly melancholy mediation they all
smell Of morocco leather and there arc
not five separate fundamental ideas ir
the whole batc''; they read pleasantly
aloud; and besides that there really is a
gentle stir Of thought in thcm and have
tho emotional cffoct which even down.
right nonsense produces when uttered
from the pulpit in that tonc. In saying
this we do not mean to deny that Long
fellow has much merit but we do mean
that therc,is great deal more nrt than
poetry in bis productions, that his ait is
often little better than artifce, anu that
his pretty way Of putting common place
ideas has imposed too much and too long
upon the world. &* How.
evor, the Bells of Lynn vii! prove an.
other OF his successes, no doubt, and will
be set 10 music, just as those truly Tup.
perian things. Excelsior and the psalm
of Life, have been. to the admiration o I
ten thousand drawing rooms; while the
very beat Of Longfellow's small or poems,
'rhe Fire Of Drftwood,' remains com.
paratively unknown"
The Saturday Review, which is moth
ing if not severely critical, says:
"Among tho ranks of impassioncd
poets, Mr.. Longfellow occupies vory
low place indeed, or rather he has no
place at all among them. He must be
classified with the large band of pleas
ant versificrs who, without rising to
genuine passion or tho highest emotion
of any kind, are distinguished by a
good deal Of tender feeling of inferior
strength. We miss in his writings any
thing like doep or swift currcnt; We
find no strong and vehement sense of
tho grcat forces at work il human M
turc as in the outer world. But there
is q certain consciousness of the deeper
issues of things. Not that Mr.. Long
follow, eyer gots really down among
those depths, but he cvibccs some sonso
of thcrc boing such depths, and this,
perhaps, redoems him from mcdiocrity
in its worst interpretation. For all
this, however, he is at bottom cmphat-
ically common place.

TIE BLOODY TREASON OF THE NEW
YORK HERALD.
The Now York Herald, of tho It'll
instant, has two articles on tho sub
jcct of the impeachment of the Presi-
dent, which for malignity and falsi6-
cation of history have no parallel in
journalism. While rod handed trea-
son held the pen, bitter unrelenting
cnmity to the Constitution and our
form Of Government fred tho brain
which was bold and wicked enough to
say to the world that what it calls the
"misdemeanors" of tho President
"rendor him liable to impeachment"
Tho transparent design of these ar.
ticles is to move tho minds of weak
kneed Jacobin Republicans up to
their work. Let them take this ad-
vice, proceed in their wicked designs,
and some morning, in other places
and in new condition, they will
roalizo the bitter consequences. In.
decd, as the Herald says, 'tho strug-
gle is still going on" "Tho great
Union movement of tho war will run
its courses" but not rs the Heyuld an
plies ito utterly destroy the Gov
crnment, but to save it, and if neccs-
sary its strong and iron hand will be
invoked to slay the course and pre-
vent the consummation of Radical
troason. The great oath of the Prcsi-
dent to protect and dofend tho Con-
stitution will not be forgotten, and
the people who sustain him, with
their five hundred thousand majority
Of the voting population, North and
South, will not forgot him. Tho
Herala cares not for consequences.
Nothing would please it SO much as
to sec ruin and anarchy rampant.
Lot those who would tako it's advice
beware. ,q
UPON WHOM CAN CONGRESS CALL.
Events have already brought the
Government to the very verge Of an
other revolution. If the Radical ma-
jority in Congress pursuos it's troasor-
able course much longor, tho Govern
ment, in order to sustain itsclS will
have to arm it's supporters. At tho
call Of the President, ,ailhis frionds
North and South, and tho army and
navy willrespond. In such u contest
tho issue cannot be doubtful. Con-
gressmcn may be valiant fighters on
the floor Of Congress, but when they
como to lead their cohorts into tho.
field it will be another thing. The
real armies and great soldiers, of the
Republic willfbe found fghtit,e under
tho Flag! ,Woadyise the opposition
of the determined and fixcd fact that
Andrew johnson will sorve out his
constitutional term of Office. 40 4.
