senator Wilson and the Vice PRESIDENCY

Senator Wilson has addressed the
following letter to a political and per-
sonal friend:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. ID, 1872.
DEAR SIR; You disk me how the
withdrawal by Mr. Colfax of his ire
covable decision not to be candidate
affects your position. | have to say,
in reply, that when the Vice President
announced that he should not be a
candidate for reelection, and that the
position might be claimed by the
friends of some eastern or southern man,
many gentlemen, some of whom had
kindly supported me III 1868, and 9th
ers who had supported Mr.. ColfaX, Mr..
Fenton, or Mr.. Wade, said or wrote to
me that they intended to give me their
influence for the Vice Presidency. |
had inst been elected for the fourth
time to the Senate, had entered upon
the full term, and had every reason to
be gratifed and satisfied with my
position. This radiance of the
personal regard and friendship Of
many of the nOblest men
of the several states could not but
crafty that feeling which prizes recog-
milton by the whole country, a feeling
entertained by most men who have long
been in the service of their states.
After nscertaining that the Vice Presi-
dents decision was final, | assented to
the request of friends before leaving
for Europe early in June last. After
my retura and before the meeting o
/ Congress, several leading men in more
than dozen states, many of whom | had
served with in Congress, assured me
that they, and the Republics of their
States, were for my nomination. /
have left tins matter to others, and up
to this date, the 18th Of February, |
have not written word TO any one,
nor replied to the many letters | have
received on she subject. The revoca-
ton bv the Vice President of his dec.
laration was 10 me surprise. 1t
placed me in an unpleasant position,
4 and my first impulse was to withdraw
from the contest; but 10y the advice OF
some of the best Republicans of the
land, East, West ana South, | leave the
question to personal and political
friends. Whatever may be the result
shall be content, and shall do what /
An for the unity and success OF the Re,
publican party, whoever may be It's
candidates. for / am bound to it alike
bv convection and associations. by graft
tide for its deeds OF patriotism and
liberty, and by hopes OF the services ii
may vet render to the country.

sible to frame a system of abstract
economic proportions that could be
universally applicable and beneficient
and, further, that the same principles
could be applied benefcially to England
and the United States. The conditions
OF the two nations are not the same,
but are in striking contrast. En-, land
is a small island, but the United States
embrace almost the entire available
territory OF continent. She is
burdened by an excess of population,
and yexed by the question as to
how she shall dispose of the excess
butour great need is industrious people,
and with us the question is, how can
we increase immigration She has to
import food for half her people, and
her foreign trade is to her what seed
time and harvest are to the countries
with which she procures the breadstuffs
see requires but cannot produce but

because the farmers they supply can
not find market for their crops. She
is dependent on foreign countries for
most of the raw material she works 4:
but we have within our limits exhaust,
less stores Of every variety not de
pendent upon tropical heat for their
production. Her resources are ascer-
tanned and developed, but ours await
development, and in regions, any one
of which is larger than all western Eu.
rope, including the British Islands,
await definite entertainment Her popu-
lation is compacted into narrow limits /;
her railroads completed and paid for ;
but our people are settled sparsely over
half the continent, ana our system Of
roads, for which the capital is yet to
be procured, is to be constructed. The
charges for transportation within her
circumscribed and populous limits are
very light but over our extended and
thinly settled country they are neces-
sarily heavy. Her factories were erect
ed and supplied with machines while
she maintained the most rigid system
of protectioo the world has ever seen;
but ours are to be built as experiments
in the face Of threatened free trade,
which would involve more unequal
competitionthan any against which she
defended hers by protective duties aud
absolute Prohibition. Her average
rate of interest is 3 per cent per an
num- but oirs is never less than per
cent. per anaum, and in large sections
of the county is often 3 per cent. a
month Tie great body of her labor
srs, even since the recent extension
of the outrage, are subjects
without civil, duties but ours are citi-
zens and liible to such duties. She
pays the daily wages of her workmen
with shilhnss but we pay ours with
dollars worth four shillings each, and
give many casses of them more dollars
than she does shillings. And it is pos
sible that tue same economic policy
can be applied with equal advantage to
countries whose condition presents so
many and ssch important contrasts y

Wringing a I4ady's Nose.
From the New York Herald of Friday

On Wednesday evening Dora Welsh,
q very respectable lady, OF No. 1853 East
Twenty-sixth street, went into the shoe
store No 40S Third avenue, owned by
Bernard Striem. She wanted to pur-
chase pair Of shoes, several of which
she tried on, but they not fitting her,
she declined, Of course, to purchase
any. This had the effect to rouse Striem's
anger, and he slapped Miss Welsh in the
face. Not content with this unmanly con-
duet, he caught hold of her nose and
wrung it SO severely that it was bleed
ing when she met Officer Scanlon, of
the Twenty-frst precinct, to whom she
complained of the ill-treatment she had
been subjected to. ShIem was arrested
and arralgned yesterday ut the York
vile Police Court. where he was held
to bail in $500 TO answer. Even in the
court room yesterday the complainant,s
nose bore evidence of the rough hand
ling to which it had been subjected.
Officer Shine stated to Justice Bixby
that Striem's conduct had been the
subject of numerous complaints hereto.

been more or less ill-treated by him.
