The following letter explains itself;
CAnRIrsroS, Kanawha O. H.,
n West Virginia, April Z, 1870.
/ Hon. J. s. WIrouER:-
4 DEAR sn:-Acopy Of your speech upon
the tariff has been received and read with
much satisfaction.
It is especially gratifying 70 many here
to know that perhaps for the first time the
special interest Of this Valley (salt) has
been advocated in the National Councils.
In earlier days the old Democracy which
ruled tho State Of Virginia. ignored the
special interests Of the people, and busted
themselves SO entirely with general politics
as almost to loose all local identity. l
think il quite doubtful whether the fact
that salt was manufactured in this Valley
was ever known to any Congress before
the war Certainly not BY the represent
ative ofithe District.
Personally and for our company I thank
Won for your able efforts in this behalf
Very Respectfully Yours,
ISAACN. SMITH.

French SELF-REsPEcT,-Thore seems an
inhorn sense e personal dignity in French
people, whatever their calling or degree: or
it may date from the terrible days when
France inscribed on her banner that she had
risen against tyrants, for this sense could
hardly have existed among nation of eerfs.
Among the inhabitants of other notions. and
especially among thc English, there arc trades
and occunations which appear to obliterate
the morality and self-respect Of ,hose who
follow them. They become identified with
vices and squalor in its lowest forms. In
France, the souls Of the humblest are filed
with vast and erandiose conceptions Of their
part in the worlds business. Each in,iivil-
ual feels himself necessary to. the progress
and completeness Of the age and country
Every man honestly believes, With all his
