(, Mr.. Editor:
We observed an article p tho last issue
Of the Register, addressed 10 the citizens
Of Mason county. and signed "Aristides, !"
which 10 some points ifnOs mis-printed, is
to say the least, nonsensical. The word
Opposition" is evidently substituted for
the word oppression" and we conceived
that the word properly to be used
where the word "popularly' should bo.-
With these exceptions either Of the author
or compositor, the article contains words
Of wisdom, which every candid person
should ponder and make his study until
the 9th Of April. Its well known that
on the above day, the sense of the citizens
Of this State will be taken upon the Am
endment to tho Constitution, better known
by the cOguomcn oftheFlick Amendment
We cannot urge upon the people too
strongly the necessity Of turning out e"
nasse on that day, and giving their undi-
vidcd support to measure which will en-
franchise those who have borne SO long in
silence their disfranchisemeut. We en-
phatically assert that no true Republican,
whether hc be ex.Union soldier or not will
oppose it. You are not bound to vote
against it. There is no party lash in this
election to drive you to tho polls. Then
wo in all candOr say, if you cannot vote
for it, abstain from voting against it. We
fully coincide With "Aristides" when he
says "if you vote against it, it will DO the
last vote of oppression you will give in the
State" The Flick Amendment being a
Republican measure, endorsed by the most
prominent Republicans in the State, VIC
say to those disuffectcd Republicans, if
any there be, your fealty to your party,
your pride in upholding its measures. urge
you to support it. Let it be adopted, and
it will be one of the proudcst moments of
your lives, when you see the DISTINGUISHED
element, walking erect" going to the
ballot-box to exercise the privileges of free
men. To those who call themselves Dem
ocrats, who are opposed to the Flick Am
eudmont, we can say you are no true
Democrat. If you oppose its adoption
what will become Of your boosted friend
ship for the distranchised, and which you
have made the issue so cfectually on the
hastings. 1t will show very evidently
that you did not want your ex-rebel broth
CIR enfranchiscd. The ex-rebels have been
living in your midst since the Summer of
1866, and you have had unlimited bppof-
tuuities to notice their actions, and judge. of
thei rsentiments, and we challenge you to
point out q single specific act of disloyalty
committed by them, This within itself
speaks loudly in their praise, and appeals to
you moro cloquently than our pen can to
vote for their speedy enfrsuchisemeut. We
.-nst Chat when the morning of the auspi-
"a p.,t;:o.o
cious day arrives. that every 4.sr--' ''A
as well as Democrat will be found at his
pOst-the ballot-box-giving battle for the
cause of the right, "By their fruits yo
shall know them" z.

PROTECTION or OUR PRODUCTS

Protect Labor from Slavery and Indo-
lence--Eduoate itS-Entranchise it'll
evate it--Thisis the true Doctrine.
We find the following in one of our ex-
changes which so entirely meet our views
on the subject, that we adopt iE-No
question of the kind, is Of morcimportancc
ITO cur people than the protection of Amer
lean industry. We mean by this, ofcOurse,
that labor should be in harmony with
S.capital, and that both should work together
Tor common good. To this end there
must DO fair protection afforded tothe
American laborer against the unfair COM
petition Of foreign labor. In saying this,
.wo do not imply that American labor can
not successfully compete with any other
labor in,an open field and fur play. On
the contrary,ywe are firmly convinced that
American laborers of every grade. arc full
ly competent to contend in the labor mar
tkot Of the world with any just and equal
competitors. What American labor wants
isprotection against the cheap, impoycrisht
ed igooraht labor Of TIDE ether thfee.quaf-
tiers of tho earth, controlled by abundaht
capital, aud directed by Skilled hands
This foreign capital can buy up the labor
of the Old World at starvation rates. 1t
can compel the foreign laborcr to grow up
in ignorance, to subsit on a.mero pittaacs
Aosabuogate his political. power, aud, there
fore, to produce more, at less price, than
any other class Of laborers. At the
same time workmcu, receiving wages
increased for the purpose, invested
with limited franchise leads his fellow
wOrkmen Of oil inferior grades, to be har-
messed to the machinery Of the foreign ar
ristocracy-the dcadliost foe America has
to encounter,
Just here is the danger against which
the honest industry of America should be
forever on its guard It is on these nc.
counts American labor demands. and
should receive the protection Of judicious
tariff. We should protect our labor until,
by keeping out the goods Of foreign pau
per competition, every man, and woman.
and child in America is clothed, in Ameri'
can clothing, warmed by American fuel,
travels on American iron, writes on Anne
'rican paper, with American ink; aye,
from tho crown of the head to the sole o.
the foot, is at once the author and patron
of American industry.
Our readers may rest assured that'they
will always find in these columns the
strongest arguments that we are capable
-ofproducing in favor Of our people. La
Dor, after all, rules mankind. Protect
labor, as you should. from slavery on The
the one hand aud Incidence 90 the other
educate it; enfrauchise it; elevate it to the
highest planes of moral and political pow
er and you strike death-blow at the hear
of every form Of human oppression and
want and woo throughout the civilized
world.

The Kanawha River.

We desire to keep the subject CT the
improvement Of this river before the peo-
pie, until its importance shall have thor
oughly aroused aud instillcd itself into
the public mind. We apprehend no one
will attempt to deny that the prosperity of
our Valley depends in very great measure
upon the completion Of our rail and water
communication with the markets Of the
world, which arc constantly demanding
just such products as our hills and valleys
abound in. This passive acknowledge
ment however, will do US no good; it never
will improve our river nor build our rail-
roads.
Our old inhabitants have lived and died
here, acknowledging that something must
besduue aud hopiug that something would
turn up by which the improvements could
be accomplished.
We want and demand Of the Board who
have this matter in hand an immediate and
substantial Improvement of the river
The way has been opened to them by the
Legislature, for the accomplishment of this,
aud unless it is done, the community should
hold them responsible. Let them issue
the Bonds authorized by law, raise the
money and put dtodgos at every chute
along the river that ueeus n.~.-
Strengthening so that in another year when
rise shall come, our fleets Of coal and
salt barges can go out without being OBJ
ligcd to break and reform dozen times,
and then we shall be enabled to reach the
market q week or two in advance Of
Pittsburgh.
We cannot but deem the legislation uu-
wise, which abolished the tolls upon in
dividuals passing up and down the river,
for it takes away nearly one-half the reve-
nIe, while it was but slight tax upon in
dividuals who are justly indebted to the
improvements for constant and unintcrup-
ted lines Of steamers up and down the
river. Now instead Of being fairly dis
tributed among all classes, deriving beno-
fits from the use of the Improvements it
falls largely upon few who are mining
our coal and manufacturing salt. This
abolishing tolls would all be very well
were the river in complete order, but till
this is the case let the burden be equally
distributed among those deriving benefits
thegefrom. This legislation should be
amended at the earliest opportunity, but
till then let the Board of Improvement
in crease their vigilence, add see that all
tolls are fairly and honestly rendered by
those who use it. Above all push tho
work Of improvement forward without
delay.-CharlestOn Herald.
