There can be no stronger proof Of a sma mind
and an unpatriotic aud dishonest character than
is given by that small class of sal distant Re
publicans who, for soma real or imagined
personal grievance, are now conspring TO
defeat the Republican party They have taken
offense because the President, not appraisinc
them ut their own estimate of themselves has
treated them with less humble Difference than
they claimed, has not given them CT their
friends the offices they demanded, or has W th
held from them opportunities To become speedily
rich through fat contracts, and therefore re
sDlve to vent their wa,h upon the Rnpubl
can party, sacrifice the principles they have
proessed SO highly to cherish, and to do what
in them lies to restore to power a party whose
policy in the future they know will be as
disastrous to the country as it has been in
the past. They dislike General GRANT, there
fore they will ruin the Republican party. They
have failed in some of their ambitious schemes
therefore the welfare Of tho nation shall be
| sacrificed. With such men everything will be
recklessly trampled under foot that stands in
| the way of their own selfish plans, or of the
qualification of their anilnosities Mortified
vanity and thwarted speculative projects have
blinded them to principle, consistency and
justice. They measure everything by this
standard. Suppose General GRANT has been
unable to discover and reward all their assumed
merits and has been blind to their import
ance, does that Justify them in giving the lie
to all their former professions by conspiring
the country? Honest men and statesmen are
never driven by personal considerations to
betray great and vital principles. Only small
demagogues and selfish pettifoggng politicians
are guilty of such crimes against freedom

Honor Where Honor Is Due.

On authority that at the time it believed to
be entitled TO Implicit credit, the New York
Times, in laying before the people of New Y ork
the stupendous robberies committed by the
Tammany Ring, denounced Mayor HALL,
among others implicated in these great crimes,
as a swindler and Micf. Its justification for
this severe charge was the fact that it was upon
vouchers approved aud indorsed by him that
the tax payers of New York were defrauded
out of so many millions of dollars. But for
this approval not dollar would have been il.
legally drawn from the Treasury. That Mr..
HALL knew these vouchers were fraudulent
can only be doubted upon the assumption that
MED that he perfectly understood their char
acter, and ithas been proved that every charge
madc by the Times is true. But while there is
evidence as strong as proofs of Holy Writ that
Mayor HALL did, by his own deliberate act, aid

four and sometimes eight days to write TO and

miles. Ten or dozen of the male citizens
pretend, with more or less success, to cleanli-

have their boo,s BACKED every day. Nearly
every body, large and small, owns saddle

one spring wagon IN the town. You can hear
the hum of spinning wheels in the street. All
the men make and chew home made or coun-

the same. The younger women dress with
comparative good taste, particularly in the
matter of shoes. Everybody call everybody
else captain, colonel, or doctor, on venture,

published in the county. There is no bank, no
money-or Office, no telegraph, no market,

roads, no public lectures or efforts at public
amusement and instruction. no social gather
ings except those Of relatives, no associations
for the relief of the poor no benevolent associa-
tions of any kind, no public libraries, and, in
short, no energy except arrogant pride in the
belief that this county contains more eminent

Protection la the west.

Hon. BEN. WADE in an inte-view with
newspaper reporter, contradicts the general
impression that the sentiment of the West is
unanimously for free traie, and states, what al
close observers have long been aware of, that
protection is popular with the Western people
and that they have placed themselves on a dis
tinctively protective tariff platform. This i'm
provement of public opinion in the great wheat
raising and agricultural States of the West is
in great measure owing to the vigorous and
comprehensive campaign OF the American As
ISOLATION of Home Industries, the dissemina
tion of protection speeches ard documents, and
the establishment of manufactures. The last
element is playing an important part. The
utilization of the magnificent water powers of
the Northwest and the building up Of manu-
features in the large cities have been the birth
of a new sentiment. IL partially rids the PEG
pie of their dependence upon distant markets
for almost every finished product, creates. a
home market for a considerable portion Of their
surplus breadstulfs and provisions saves trans
portation to the East, attracts immigration,
and, in short, by its universal diversfcation OF
industries, adds to the general wealth and
prosperity.
The Western people are growing wise by ex
perience. They see retained at home the val
ues that formerly found their way to the sea
board or across the water, and transact at their
very doors their exchanges Conviction il
favor of a protective tariff is daily gaining
strength with them.
They are fast realizing that the tariff is not
| alone in tile selfish interest of manufa ,turers
and that free trade, instead Of increasing the
farmers profits and cheapening his clothing,
his plows and the other manufactured articles
of his consumption, is more for tho pecuniary
advantage of the importer and foreign manu-
| tacturer

whole gang of Tammany swindlers, including
HALL, to the penitentiary. If HALL did not
keep any of the money himself, he is in the
condition of the thief who steals for others.
1t is said that the famous DTcS TURIN used
to delight in robbing the rich to give to the
poor. But he was no less highway man"
and an outlaw for that; nor did bis generosity
save him from the vengeance of the law. And
HALL is no less thief nor any less deserving
the penitentiary because he chose to rob the
people-not like TURIN to give to the needy
but to enrich infamous associates. Yet be-
cause, when summoned before Halls packed
grand jury to testify to the robbery, the pub
Usher of the Times could not swear that be

Of Halls crimes, rival Republican paper

credit of having exposed to public execration

whole Tammany Ring and to its rare ability,
courage, and persistence is due more than TO

defeat of the swinders at the recent election.
For weeks it fought the battle against the
Tammany power almost single handed; and
the effort of jealous rivals to create an impress

laugh to shame such stupid and malignant
charges. They know how boldly aud honestly
and effectively the Times has fought the thieves,

why We Advocate Protection.

We have sufficient faith in the practical COM
mon sense of our readers, and in their capacity
to understand and appreciate what really con-
Germs their own immediate interests to believe
they will need any explanation of our reasons
Tor the prominence we give the question of
protection to American industry. But still it
may not be out of place to say, that it is be-
cause the welfare Of the working man of this
nation is so absolutely dependent upon and in
terwoven with our manufacturing industry.
That great interest, giving direct employment
to two millions Of operatives and direct sup
port to ten millions five hundred thousand peo-
pie, was breathed into life and is fed and sus-
tanned, by protection. That policy has been,
and must continue to be, the very breath of life
of our laboring classes. In advocating it we
are Influenced far more by our regard for the
laborer than the manufacturer. The capitalist
can, live without manufacture the working
man cant live without labor. Our doctrine is,
direct protection to labor, with incidental pro-
lection to manufactures that is, we are for
protection first, because it is q necessity to the
laboring man. and next, because it builds up
system OF Industry that creates demand for la
Dor, insures it a legitimate reward, and helps to
elevate it to the high and dignifed position it
deserves as the creatoa of all wealth aud the
basis of all enterprise. Demagogues only as
sert that protection is invented for the sole ben
EFT of the rich and to keep down the poor.
Labor would have been reduced to the ten cent
standard once advocated by Mr.. BUCHANAN,
which was then its average reward through.
out the world" but for that protective policy
which has so diversified, aud elevated, and dig
nifed it in this country; and our workingmen
would have been on the same low level as those
of Spain, Austria and Ireland These are our
reasons for devoting so much time to illustrate
the benefits of protection to the American
workingmen.

that "by acting our parts as true citizens.

commenced to coquette with the Copperhead

was a sort of guerrilla war upon President
