We are informed that over one hun
hundred car loads of lumber are annu-
ally imported to this place from the
North West. The building of the Co.
lumbus Il Toledo Il. r. will, it is esti-
mated, reduce the cost of freight about
twelve dollars per car load. The pro-
posed road would thus effect Il saving
to our people of one thousand, two hun
dred dollars on this art icle of merchan-
disc alone.
And so it would be with ether ne
cessitics OF life.
1t is also our conviction that the
market for all farm products would be
Incalculably improved.

The "Fighting Parson" who presides
oyer the Democratic Union, calls our
paper "dirty Sheet" We will state
an incident: Not long ago, some gem
tlemen from Carey came to our office
and solicited the publication of some
communications which we regarded as
disreputable, and, although, Gas we can
prove by citizen of our place) we were
urged with offers of liberal pay, 10 in
sert as an advertisement or publish III
a handbill, we unconditionally declined ;
but the following week said commnni-
cotions were printed at the Union office
and scattered over the county. 1t was
rumored that the job brought fifty dol
lars into the Golfers of that office.
We presume the REPUBLICAN will be
able to survive the unfavorable opinion,
that the notorious turn-coat of the
Uniou entertains of it.

Democratic majority was increased by ut least
Fire Thousand votes.
Can il be necessary to add that government
by the people becomes the dreariest of farces,
the wickedest of shams, if this cannot be
stoppedi That the electoral vote of this State
was given to Seymour and Blair by frauds on
the balot-boxes, deliberately contrived and
carried into effect at the cost Of several hun
dreds of thousands of dollars remOrselessly
stolen from our taxpayers for the purpose, Is
az clear as sunlight. The Sixty Thousand ma
ority in this City for Seymour, the Seventy-odu
Thousand for Hoffman, were manufactured 10
order. They wew fabricated, because the
Tammany Ring supposed so many would make
the result "safe.n Had twice these maJorlties
been required, they could and would have
been c0ncocted; but our City's debt would
have been Two or Three Millions heavier than
it now is.
Surely, the despotism of Car Alexander is
liberty the piebiScitum of Louis Napoleon Is
deccncy, compared with this.
Our laws are partly in fault. AS the Roman
republic did not punish parricide, holding 1t
inconceivable, so the founders of our Republic,
the trainers of our State Constitutions, never
dreamed that citizens of q free community
could be found base enough to corrupt and
falsify popular verdict, declared and anthem
tcated through an election. The ballot-box-
stut,cr, the tc-miScOunter, were to them not
only miscrcants who never had been, but who
never could exist. Hence we understand that,
at a recent day. district attorney intent on
indcting a squad who had stuffed ballot
boxes after the votes were cast but before
they had been counted, could find no law
whereby that crime could be punished
Mr.. John }. Davenport has prepared for sub
mission TO our Legislature an Election Law
! which seem to us quite complete and effective.
1t consists of ninety-two sections, but there Is
not one too many, because the infinite devices
Of ingenious vlainy must be met and bailied
mt so many different points This bill makes
every willful ofIcnse against the purity OF
elections a felony, and Furnishes it by one
to five years confinement in State

British Free Trade harps on the single
string of prices. "The poor mans coat would
cost less if it were not for the Tarif"-an
assertion which has several thousand times
been demonstrated TO be false. If it were true,
it's irrelevancy and worthlessness would be
felt by all the men who cannot sell their
labor, and who, consequently, cannot buy
coats. cheap or dear. Protection, OH the other
hand. does not concern itself about prices, but
leaves them to be determined 10y the quiet
adjustment between demand and supply. Pro-
lection aims to defend our cOuntrys young
industry against the matred industry of
foreign states, and to give complete develop
ment to our material resources. our ingenuity,
our enterprise, our capital, our credit. This
accomplished, prices will adjust themselves 80
effectualy that no foreign goods can be sold
in competition with American. The avenue to
cheapncss is steady Protection. The cheapness
of British goods is the result of five hundred
years of vigilant and obstinate Protection.

1IfEPICiN SHIPPING.

If it be correctly reported that the Senate
sub Committee on Commerce have agreed to
report a bill authorizing foreign-built steam
ships to be registered as American, we may
be quite sure that no such provision will ever
be enacted into law. 1t looks to US like
practical surrender not only of our foreign but
of the better part Of our coastlng trade also
to Europe That there shipping houses

registering their foreign-but steamships as
American, may not only run them from our
ports to all foreign ports, but from New-fork
70 Norfolk, Savannah, Ncw-Orleans and Gal

once abandon the hope of ever again reJoicihg

AS long as he lived, there was no security
against instructions and revolutions. HIS
attempts were not dependent upon resources,
upon cooperation, rot even upon common
sense. He seemed to consider continual activity
more important than success. Others of his
contemporaries accepted defeat as final, and
gave up the fight. Leicester square was full
of rcv0lutiOnists on the retired list, who did
nothing but recall their former combats and
unpack their hearts with words. Victor Hugo
sat in his rocky nest at Guernsey, max
ing the winds and waves the confidants
of his sorrow and his scorn for France and
her ruler. Even KOssuth, who utterly refused
any compromise or reconciliation with the
house Of Austria, had not sufficient energy of
character to make use of circumstances like
Andrassy, or to defy possibilities like Mazzini.
