Tuesdsy Morning, June 24, 1873. Soveral Chicago peoplo woro injured, but not vory soriously, by the destruction, noar Rich- mond, yestorday, of ono of tho sleeping cars o!_. tho expros train for Oincinnati. ‘. Tho workingmen of Spain snd Bwitzerland ho belong to tho Intornational have asked tholr associatos of Now York for pecuninry sup- port for general strike which thoy intend to wake. —s Congrossman Hurlbut, of this Stato, gives no- tico that the Wost Point cadotsbip in his gift will be awarded to the applicsnt who posses ‘most succosstuily through a competitive exami- nation to be held at Elgin, July 8. A fury is now being impaneled in Now York for tho trinl of Mrs. Woodhull and hor sister for publishing obscono pspors. Au attempt was made to secure dolay on the plea of Mrs., Wood- Dull's illncss, but tho Court would not graut it. Cougrossman Dunnell, who hos takon frequent occaston to claim that ho voted sgainst tho sal- ary stenl, i shown by tho ofticial journal of Con- groseional proceedings to have in truth dodged the vote. It is furthor charged that, to support his falschood, Mr. Dunnell attemptod fo get the journal clerk to tamper with the rocord and roport bim ag voting ngainst tho grab, In this ho failed, but ho succeedod in having such » chango mudo in tho report published by the Globe. Pao County Board has unaniniously passed & yesolution condomuing the practico of putting jnnocont persous, who Lave the miafortune to bo witneeses in eriminal cases, inte common joils along with hordened offonders. They suggest that such witnesses in ordinary casos should bo discharged on thelr own recog- nizanco, or on bail, it it can bo given, UG GO Ao us v e oo AVUOGTE 11 tho County Jail bo discharged without unnocos- pary dolsy, whero such action can bo an_!uly taken. ——me The farmors and workiugmen of Richland County, Ohio, met yestordsy, pursuantto ad- journment from tho 18th inst. They adopted rosolutions to thaoffect that both political partics hiad shown themselvos incompotant and untrust- worthy both in local and national affairs, and tloy therefore resolved to sover former political tios and soek roform throngh new instrumen- talitios, The Convention was composed of Ro-~ publicans, Democrats, and Liborals, and the candidates nominated for county officers and the Legialature were takon from all theso parties, to ‘whom they owe no further allegiance. Superintendont Washburn's sunual report gives somo interesting criminal statistica. Dur- ing the yoar, $277,36¢ worth of property was stolen, of which only $95808 was recov- ered. Thero were 81,085 arrests, of which 919 were on oriminal: charges. The Americana lead in numbers, 11,164 of them having been in custody; the Irish follow with 10,691; tho Gormans aro next with 4,825, Drunkooness and digorderly conduct were tho most frequent causes of arrest, numbering 24,012, Of thoso arrestod, 8,007 had no occupation; carpenters soom to bo the most disorderly of any of the regular trados ; thoy contributed 846 arrosts to tho rocord ; noxt to them are the masons, with 404, E—— , Mayor Modill lnst night submitted a timely communication to tho Common Councll eoncorn- Ing the sewerage quantion. Thero fa no mu- nicipal want which surpasses the imperative necessity for a thorough system of city drain- wage. Thore aro 1,000 acres, or threo squaro milos, which must bs attonded to at once if the health of their 100,000 inhabitauts Is to be preservod. ‘This work, tho Mayor says, sould cost $700,000, aud ho recommonds that & number of appropriations of minor importauca e postponed or reducod, and tho amount given to sewersgo. In this woy at loast $711,000 can bo obtained, which will constrnet fifteen miles of gowor this yonr, and rescuo 100,000 of the labor- ing poor out of the very jawe of death. The memory of Lowis Tappau, who died, yos- terday in Now York, will always bo blonded with that of his Drother Arthur. Tho two wero among the moat carnost aud honorabla of the early Abolitionlsts, '[beir father was a Revolu- tionary patriot, and one of Boston's morchants of Colonial days. Hig sons inherited from him the business habits which gave thom so high a cotnmereial positlon in Boston and New York, and the love of liberty and the public good which thoy have illustrated so admirably in their lives. Tho two brothora were first asso- oiatod in business ne dry goods mierchants in Boston, and aftorward {n the Tappan Morcantilo Agenoy. Thoy acquired Jargo fortunes in theto pursuits, most of ‘whlch thoy spont in Jarge- hearted philanthroples.

Almost insurmountablo obstacles aro constantly springing up in its way, until ita pro- jootors bogin to dospalr. Tho dotails of tho rond aro not yot worked out. The track i but 1alt oxplored, nnd tho ngonts who aro control- 1ing ite financial prospects in England scom to bo unable to convinco the Eoglish capitallsta thot thorels any sura foundatiou to the project or any woll-dofined source of rovenue, and, in addition, have to labor against tho sorious disnd-~ vantago that English capital is just now scoking investment intho Aslatio lincs which aro to con- noot Indls withEuropo. Bosides this, the wholo influonce of tho Grand Trunk Road hes beon brought to bear againat it. Commonting upon the discouraging prospects of the schome, tho Manitoban saya: ** A railroad lino of gomae sort is necossary to us, and wo want it at once, Wo have been forbidden to ‘build our own Pembina Road ; the Pacifio is too tedious an offor for us to wait for. We want the Governmont, or the Company, or whoover mny be responaiblo for in- terforing with our own froo nction, to boginn road of somo kind without dolay. It is roported that the Attorncy-General of Illinois bas given an opiniop, informolly, that tho Illinols Railropd law applics to froight in transitu to and from other Statos, ns woll as to that destined to points within the Umits of Ik~ nols. Tho sbeurdity of such an opinion, if it has beon givon, may bo illustrated by supposing that it was for tho intorost of Illinois to fonce tho Btato of Yows, Missourl, Wisconsin, and Minnesols off from tho Eostorn markets altogother. The goographical porition of this Btate s vory favorablo to such an onterpriso. That of Indiana is equally favorablo for the erection of & wall against Illinoia pro- duco, and that of Ohio is woll adapted to eiroum- vent both Indiana andIltinois. Wocan conceivo of » very happy coudition of affairs brought sbout by a general application of such a ntlo, Our undorstanding of thomatter is, that tho pro- visioni of tho Constitution which gives Congress the power to rogulato intor-State commerce was intonded oxpressly to prevent the sevoral States from foucing each otbor in, sud that it was wupon this ground that tho SBupromo Court doclared the tax lovied by tho Btate of Maryland upon each passengor ticket sold by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, over their Weshinglon branch, void. In this declslon it was hold that any impedimont placed in the woy of tho froo and natural transit of porsons and proporty from ono Statd to anotler, by » Btato Leglslature, was unconstitutional. Any difforont rulo would bo especially disas- trous to & Btate situated ns far from the soa~ clude that the report concorning Attorney-Gen- eral Edgall's opinion is erroneou PARTY PLATFORMS. In the litorature of tho proscnt day thero ig no more ceaseloss, unmeaning jargon of words and phrages than tho resolutionsor * platforms of political parties. Tho Ropublicans of Maino have just gono through the operation of passing & weriea of resolutions which, boyond their av- erago stupidity, have no special intercst. Thoy first rosolved that tho principles of the Repub- lican party, a8 ndministered by tho Ropublican party, bad proved by their results that tho party waa tho truo roform party, and wag cesoutial to tho welfaro of the nation and the mainte- nance of the intercstsand liborties of tho people. Having thus declared that tho party was all that was nosded to prevent corruption, thoy pro- ceodod to donounce tho grant of lands and monoys mado to railroads by that party einco it e been in power, and declared that the policy of subsldy tondod towards prodigality and corrup- tion. Thoy furthor resolveyl that all Credit Mo- bilier transactions wore/dishonest, sud, white do- manding pure, official conduct, and the punish- ment of unfaithful men, virtually applauded tho action of Congreesin refusing to punish men convieted of bribory, and tho action of the Presi- dent in appolnting ono of the guilty to o high Qiplomatio offico. They gurther cite, as ovidonco that the maintonance of the Republican party isall that ls ndodod to presorve the purity of legialation, $ho passage of tho salary-grab law, by which nearly 5,000 were voted to oach membor for sorvices alroady paid for," the{Repub- lican party having & two-thirds majority in oach Houso, sud the act bolng spproved by s Ropublican President; they, thereforo, @demnnd that the Ropublican party shall repeal “an act so diegraceful to Congross and odious to the people,” which was passed by a Repub- lican Congress, aud spproved by o Republican TPromdent, This same Convontion doolared that tho salary-grab law, enacted by thd Republicau party, and approved by the Republican Prosi- dout, wag passed in violation of the last national platform of tho party. Ifthis bo o, how is tho matter to be remodied by passing another plat- form which has no binding force on anybody outsido of Maino, and has not forco enough there to induco the membors of Congross -to rostoro tlo back-pay to the Treasury? Tho political platform businoss {8 played out; ond mowhore more so than in tho ftate of Muino. Tho ery of party, and party obligations, and party purity, bave bocomo simply disgusting, Party in Maiuo, ns olso- where, simply means oftico-holding. I[Tero {s an instanco: In {ho Bocond, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Congrossional Ditriots in Maine there iy & awarm of potty Federal ofloors nominally ap- pointed to collost the iutornal roveuue, How much revonuo they colloct, and how much it oosts to colloot it, oan bo soon from the follow- ing exhibit: District Tuz collected, Salaries, Per cent, $30,380.87 BA00 105 470,60 [ Wy 30,683,00 1,2 103 , + 95,011,81 6,230,04 2" Tho averago cost of collecting the tax ig 20,00 per cent of the gross colloction, but the Ropub- lican Btate Convontion of Maino had nothing to eay of this wholosale raid upon the Treasury by office-holdera; they did not quote from tho and Deolaration of Indopondonco that ¥'ag Goorgo liad “ercctod & muititudo of now offices, and sont hithor swarms of ofiicors to harasa our pooplo and ont our substanco,” or deolars that tho Ropublican party had loviod enormous taxes, and sent to Maine n awarm of officors, who ro- colvod ovor 20 por cont of tho gross colloctions for thoir own compousation. Tho holdings of these 20 por cont commisalon offlcos ia precidoly tho solo objoct of Laviug any Rapublican purty in Malue. ! e o ‘WAGES OF LABOR. ¥ Of courso woare " protocting Amotlenn la- | Hor." Thero aon bono doubt sbout that. Do not tho apostlos of protection toll us that, if this blessad systom wore romoved, all our laborors wonld starve in idlonoss, or oles be * ground down " by capltal to suoh wagos as * tho paupor 1abor of Europo™ rocoives? Yot consus yoports rajso unhoealthy doubts in tha mind ovon of tho most dovout protoctionist, Tor oxample: thoro is tho mattor of wages. How can a protoctioniat, however dovout, nrive at o ronlizing sonso of his Llesslngs, whon he roceives Jowor wagos than ho did in 1800, under froo trado? To the pocket, it not to the mind, such n stato of things will suggost tho distross- ing inquiry whothor protoction proteots. And 1t, infooted with o desiro for facts, ho scarchos tho coneus volumes, and discovera that.s largo majority of Amorican laborers are in tho same predicament, will Lo not demand an explana- tion ? According to the consug roports, the amount paid in wages, the numbor of hands employed, and the avorage yonrly wages of each lhand, in all branches of manufacture in 1850, 1860, and 1870, wero aa follows : Hands Wages Year, Woagea paidy employel, per head, 5 240,705,464 57,05 83 SIETB000 1,911, 04 870, 5,684,043 2,065,000 277,50 1870 in goid, wvorago rale connus year, 1263 301.27 Increaso undor froo trade, $257.63 'to $288.04, or 13 11-100 por cont. Tncroaso under protoction, $288.94 to $301.37, or 4 20-100 per copt. Now, it is eminently disgusting to tho pro- toctod American laboror to find that, during ton yoars of free tradoe, his wages advanced over 12 por cont, while during ton yoars of protoction thoy havo advanced only about 4 por cont. Tho poor man first doubts the corractness of the in- formation, but searches tho census volumes and finds tho facts just as wo Lavo statod thom, Thon Lo questions whother tho rato of premium for gold is corroct, but ofiicial rdcords show him that 1253 wos tho averngo prico during the twolvo months onding May 81, 1870, during which the wages wore pald and used. Thon ho doubts his reason, sud won- ders whother ‘protaction” bag really rob- bed him ‘of about two-thirds of that increnso of wages which, if a bonovolent gov- ornment had let him slono, froe trado would by this time have given him. It bohooves Messre. Caroy, Kelloy, aud Maynard to oxplnin this ugly fact imwmediatoly. Do they thiuk the workmen such idiots that they will voto for a systom which robs them of their natural incrense of wages? But whilo théy aro busy cxplaining, the work- man may happon to remembor that tho pricos of & groat majority of articles bought with Lis wagos, and tho cost of living, havo inoronsed sineo 1860 much moro than tho 253 per cent which mensures the dopreciation of currenoy. Knowing that it costs him moro in gold to live and to support a family than it did bofore tho war, it occurs to him that this differonco in the purchasing powor of the wages of all manufacturing employes must more than con- sume tho pitiful 4 por cont of increnso which protection has given, Boing s dovout protec- TIULLSL, BUU Lavaug veves swiy WArnod that tho Bpecial Commissionor of the Rovenuo, Mr, Wells, had been *bought with British gold,” Lo did not pay much attention to tho statistics by which that person tried to prove that tho cost of living bad incrensod GO per cont. But—alas! for tho trinla of tho faithfull—another ofil- cial, oven now in charge of & Bureau of tho Tronsury Dopartment, himself a dovout protec- tionist, haos novertholess printed a rxoport, dated in' 1870, on tho cost of Inbor and subsistonce in the Unitod Statos, which proves pretty much tho same thing ; and, finally, the Suporiutendent of tho Cousus, who has not yot beon accused of taking British gold, has declared in hispublished volumes that, according to the best informationhe can got, the avornge incroase in tho prices of all products of manufacturing and mochanical labor bas been 50 por cent. With great sadnoss tho Amoricsn laborer is forced to confess that his exporienco in purchrscs and his ompty pockot strongly con- firm the testimony of these persons. And yot, it thia ba truo, tho wages of 1870 aro actually worth less than tho wages of 18601 To tha con- fding and much-protected laborer, it is o shock- Ing discovery that the 8877.69 in currency, the avorago wages of all manufacturing laborors in 1870, was oqual in purchasing power tfo only &242.04 of tha wages of 1860, aud yot “British free trade” then gave an avarago of £288.04, or $40.90 moro in actual value, or purchasing .power, than protection gives! What! robbed of 161-5 per cont of his wages by tho blessed systom of protection ? ‘Why, ton years of free trado gavo him more than 12 por cont increaso in roal valuo, bocause aver- ago prices wero lower in 1860 than in 1850, In- .stond of that, does his patornal system give him & losy of 16 por cant ? - By this timo, the plous protectionist laboror bogins to get initiated, and wants to know what in tho mischief his benove- tont rulers menn! Professing such anxioty to bottor hia condition, have they not only robbed him of all tho natural increase of wagos, but of one-gixth of their veluo in 1860 bosides? 'Tho Inborer aforesaid will be blessed if Lo will stand this sork of thing ! Does not auybady got any benefit from this gystom ? Tho grist-mills ylold & larger product in value than any othor brauch of manufacturs, nceording to tho consus, and yot the men em- ployed thero, according to the ofticial roport, avorago lower wages in curronoy than thoy ro- coived in 1860 in gold, and so0 do tho mon om- ployed in saw-mills, and so do the Llacksmiths, while tho carpontors avornge for 1870 just as many paper dollars as they did gold dollars in 1860. Tho coopors, the plastorors, and the paintors, it appoars, receive in wages a much smallor proportion of the valuo of tho product, or work done, than thoey did -undor freo trade, Who lold the prizes when so many have drawn blanks in thiy big lottery ? Who are the potd of protection—the favored fow who monop- olize tho bonofite, while tho rost pay highor pricas and got lowor' wagea? 'Tho salt-bollora ? Yos, tholr wagea have much more than doubled; in 1800 they roocclved 8 conts, and in 1870 Gl¢ conts, & busliol, Tho glassmakors, sugar-rofin- ore, and workers in somo iron and woolon estab- lishments have gained largoly. Dut, taking out those omployed in these, in cotton, silk, rubber, paper, aud coppor establishments,—only 438,447 persons out of 3,063,000, or about ouc-ffth.—wa .Judgo bought with votos find that all tho rost, 1,616,640 Amorican labor- drs employed in manufacturds, received in 1870, undor tho bléased systom of protection, only an nvorngo of £207.08 in gold sench, Whorons tho Inborora omployed in iho samo in- dustrios in 1800 undor froo trado nv- oraged $800.00 in gold! We bog to know why one-fifth of tho proteoted worlimen should get all, tho bonofits, whilo tho rest got losa wagos in gold, and vory much loés in notual valuo, than thoy did undor froo trado? Shallthe four-fifths forvontly bless Messra, Caroy, Kelloy, Moynned & Co. for this groat morey? Thoy aro robbod of park of thoir wagos, theso slxteon hundrod thousand workors, fu ordor that four h.und.rnd thousand, in cortain pot industrics, may make cloth, fron, coppor, glass, rubbor goods, papor, sugar, anlt, for us,—though, it lot alono, thoy would msko theso ssmo things forus ab half the cost, and if they did not wo could buy thom from abroad for about half | But how much do tho four huudred thousand arlstocrats of Amorican Industry got for their sorvicos ? Not onough to mako them botter off than they wero without protection in 18601 Tho afxtoon hundrod thousand aro really plunderod for nothing. For-tho four hundrod thousand havo aotuslly ronlizod an avorage incrosse in wagos of only 57 por cent, and yot the cost of living has increased 56 por cont ! ‘* Qurso this consus!” tho devous boliever in protection may oxclaim; * it sooms to prove that our gront mystom docs no good to any class of Amorican laborers at alll” Woell, that is about what it proves. Tho peoplo who aro bonofited are ovidently mot tho workmen for whom cortaln ecconomists and Oongrossmon pro- tond to bo #o anxious. All thofarmors, all tho consumers of manufaoturod goods, and four- fifths of tho manufacturing laborors, arc robbed —and tbu'nthur fifth of tho Inborers gots only oenough of tho mux}oy to barely componaate for tho inoreaso of prices which this blessod system produces.’ Now, Measra, Caroy, Kolley, May- nard & Co. plonss toll ‘the somewhat worried American Inboror, who bogins to suspoct that ho. has boon *protectod " just a shada too much, where all that monoy has gone! Amorican la~ bor stands horo with empty pockets, and is cloar- 1y not in posacsalon of the plundor. But some- body biea boen robbed. Who Lisy the monoy ? THE POLIOY OF INTIMIDATION, Bomo days ago wo roprinted an articlo from the Aledo (I11) Bannor relativo to & species of intimidation adopted by somo of tho partisans of Mr. Oralg in tho Inte judioial election in the Tifth District. Wo roprint to-day snothor arti- clo from tho samo journal, along with o lottor from one of its mubscribors discontinulng his papor ‘““as soon a8 the now postage law takes offact,” which indicates that this polioy is to bo maintained in somo quartors. It will bo esen that tho oditor of tho Aledo Banner docs not searo worth & cont. It will also bo soon that ho occupios o thoroughly conslstont and defonsible, position, by which he is willing to atand or fall. Tho rolations between tho Aledo Banner and Mr. Winger give & falr ilustration of tho danger that threatons the farmers' movoment, viz: That of failing to recogunizo honosty, virtuo, or opposition to monopoly in any one who rofuscs to applaud and indorso the most extromo monsuros that anybody else can invont. For instanco, proscribing any ono who opposes tho policy of making tho declsions of courts subordinato to tho decroos of town- moetings. . Tho opposition of thoe Aledo Banner to monop- oly has beon as stoadfast ay that of any journal n unnols, and it doflos it withdrawing sub- seribor, or anybody olse, to point to n linoin its colimns which may bo justly constried otherwise. Tho singlo offonso of tho journal wag supporting Judge Lawronce for re-oloction, on tho ground that ho was & more trust- worthy opponout of monopoly than a man who would consont to bo & candi- dato on o platform which undortook to interpret the law. For this, it scems, the Aledo Banner and somo other papers in tho district are to bo *“spotted,” just as certain persons on eloction dny throatoned to *“spot* the merehants who did not vote for Craig, and to withdraw their oustom on this account. The Banner pro~ poses to abide by this ivaue, and to stand or fall upon tho ground it has taken. " Whatover may bo tho temporary disposition of & certain class of tho people, or into whatever extremes and out- rages they may bo botrayed by their passionsand falso leaders, it is on tho side of the law, intor- preted Dby indopendent, unpledged Judgos, that tho controversy must finally bo declded. Tho law 8 broad cuough not only to pro- tect the pooplo agninst tho extortion and abuses of the monopolists, but also to protect them againet tho follics that thoy themsolves may commit in moments of blind rage. Violenco may stop in for o time and sssert a superior strongth, but it will bo followed by no othor ra-. sulta than punisbmont for thoso who commit it, and tho reassertion of tho law after a uscloss eacrifice of timo and temper. E Whenany clasa of poople sock to changethe Im- phrtial charactor of tho Judiciary they enter upon a path that lends to oither despotism or anarchy, The noxt stop is that of proscription, which, as it appears, has actually beon taken Dby some of those who succeoded in clecting s class candi-~ date to the Bupromo Court. Proscription and intimidation have but one outcomo, In a mon- archy, they lead to absoluto despotism ; in revo- lution, thoy lead to Jacobinism or Communism ; in a ropublic, they may lead to oithor of these rosults; but, in every case, thoy moan a loss of .liberty and tho subjection of the weaker to the atrongor. Just now, tho farmors may bo tho stronger, ond, whon . thoy undortake to clect reprosontative Judges on their own plattorms, thoy may succoed, but for every thoro will bo two bought with money. 8o, in tho wsy of proseription, thoe landloss will somo day make the land-owners rogrot that thoy ever stepped upon this dangorous ground. 'Tho courso of the French Revolution wos like that of & lerd of bufraloes, whero those in the roar aro forever pushing thoso in front over a precipice.

From the Aledo (I1L.) Banner. A person who rushoes himsolf into public print during a fit of angor, or while struggling in the colls of ignorance, is an ass, Richard Winger has rushod himself into publia print during a fit of angor, or wiule struggling in the colls of ignorance. i Mr. Wingor oxpressos tho fact that he has had somo interest in the success of the Banner, for which wo aro gratoful. Ho noxt classes tho Banner olong with Tue Onicaco TRmUNE, a8 o monopoly pnper, and says wo willfully abuse and misropresent tho farm- iog class. As to Mr. Winger's attack upon Tnz ToisoNg, wo are at o loss to undorstand what ho means. We have read Tuz TpinuNe carefully for months, and would bo pleased to have Mr. Winge: u'ixmim out one singlo oditorial In which tho spirit of monopoly pro~ ails, to tho Banner boing a paper working for tho monopolist, ita course will nmgly suswer Mr, Wingor'y statoment, Wo ask and dofy the gontloman to point out ouo singlo cditorinl articlo whoreln wo have advocated monopolies. If hio doos not do go, 'the public will take it for granted that he bas misroprosonted willfully, and unloss heo roves to the public what he B0 eweepingly seserts, no other nomo than salsificr will tell his position. Mr. Winger bos mado a cortain assertion, and wo now defy him to back it up with proofs, We ngree rurfflc!ly with him in rogard to tho offorts of political hacks to put thomselvos forward. YFor examplo of this wo cito him the Princaton Convention, ) Mr. Wingor farther thinks that the question on tho 2d of June was, * Shall the peopla govern, or bo governed?” The angry gentloman evident~ Iy looke at tha “'pooplo™ from onlya farmer's standpoint. Ho scoma to think that tho poo- plo” nro only composed of farmers, instead of oll classos. Whon wo consider thatin the late clection that out of about 27,000 votes about 15,000 woa on ono side 3nd 13,000 onthe otler, we ore ot s loss tounderstand what ho means b; the * pooplo.” Cortainly Mr. Winger has not givon the subjoect careful thought, or he would" not call ono of the said partics tho ** people.” It rominds one very much of the Threo Tailors of London, who commonced a petition with ** Wo, the people,” oto, He further thinks that to say tho farniors wanteda * pledged Judge,” or * had sought any plodge from Judgo Craig,” is unfair and Ingulting. Wo think, too, that when any cluss of mon'nsk foro “ pladged Judge,” it is insulting to ask any honest man if ha is a momber of that class, Wo_do not eay that farmors wanfed o * pledgod Judgo,” but wo do tmy that oithor Cralg 10as a * pledged Judgo,” or olso a foarful frand. Now, i Winger, plenso to mark this : That Craig acoopted a cor- tain platform made at Princoton, and in this platform there was a cortain law point stated, of which tha substance is, “ Are railroad charlers condracts in the view that they are paramount to the State?” Tho Princoton Convention said, No! and Craig accoptod the platform, and, by accopting it, bo eithor acted in good faith or he did not. If'ho acted in good faith, ho was a ¥ pledged Judge,” if ke acted othorwise, he wasa fiaudand & porjuror, Tako your choice, but whon you rush into print hereafter, bo caroful and writo with judgment, and do not stato thing. 80 rocklossly. i - Mr. Wingor nover sald 80 recklesd s thing as tho following: “ The only ronson I can seo for your bittor hatred of “tho Patrons of Hus- Dbandry is, that, as & party man, and _working in tho intorests of monopoly, you foar thom,” Wo 8ay we foar them. That is, unloss they do bet~ ter than thoy have frequently done, wo fear thoy will injure themsolves and all othor classos. Mr. Wingor's insinuations that .wo are working in the {ntorest of monopoly is boneath the man, On a formor occasion we had occason to dofond Mr, Wingor against unjuat action of a gectional Tooling in the fownship. Wohavo always bolioved Lim to be an indopendont man, dnd allowing oth- ors tho samo privilogo, bu tho tono of bis fottor would indicato that Lo haa desconded several degraos, aud if ho gooa much lower wo will com- g\mcly {ooso sight of tho man.

If Iig romarks, on the day of oloc- tion, wera mado in fun, wo aro simply glad of it, and many of his friends will bo ploased to know that ho did not allow projudico and bit- torness to swallow up th/man ;. for unless ho had mado this explauation, wd are not the onl !lxr.mmn who bolieved he moant what ho ssid. owovaer, our articlo, ‘* Intimidation," was nob intended for him alone.
