Protection.
The New York .Thy (jap\Ujftep&-Ur?
says "it may be r-afely affirmed that
when the Sontlierii State* air- repre?
sented in Congress, thepower nf New
langland and Pennsylvania to force
high tariffs u]>on the country will }*e
gone." j
There, ?i ,uo question whatever but
that this insatiable thirst for juoney
siuftkitr? has as great ad ;- influence
" Y upon 'thc action of the radicals in
Congress as any other profesaod nio
,tive. Indeed, we3 do not doubt but
. ' f-hat it is at tho bottom of the -whole
destructive measures they propose to
gallop through both houses of Cou
Z gross, but moro particularly the con?
tinued exclusion of the Southern Se?
nators and Representatives. The
iron interest of Tliad. Stevens in
Pennsylvania, and tho heavy bribes
of thc New England manufacturers to
Sunnier, will easily account for the
prominence these radical leaders ex
- h i bit in their persistent efforts to
keep up their rump organization
the "so-called" Congress, until they
can pass their favorite schemes of
plundering every other section of the
Union.
But there is a storm brewing which
will overwhelm the professed ne
grophilists. The great West Ls al?
ready muttering its thunders iu their
loca? elections, and already we see
the signs of alarm in the radical
organs of a high protective* tariff.
They are busy in running from their
presses an immense amount of so?
phistry, every day, to prove that a
high protective tariff is b?n?ficiai to
the country; butwith all their sham
logic, they will not be able ti? con?
vince the sturdy farmers of the North?
west that the other States of the Union
revolve around the New England hub.
Were the Southern members and
Senators to be admitted to Congress,
and thus be enabled to make a union
with the members of the West and
North-west, the days of high tariffs
would be numbered.
Thad. Stevens' interest (that of
iron and iron manufactures) seems to
be the best protected interest of the
country, as will be seen from the
exposition of facts which we con?
dense from the New York Evening
Post. Three casks of wood screws
purchased in England, weighing
4,434 pounds, cost on board ship, in
Liverpool, $454.15. The duty on
wood screws is eleven cents per pound,
which, on the above invoice, amounts
to $478.74-above 112 per cent, ou
the original price of the goods. Ol
course, it will be understood that tho
profits of the importer, wholesale
merchant and retailer are to be added"
to the above figures before the sereu j
reach the builder or contractor.
Again, on other articles of hard?
ware, on an invoiee of sledge and
hand hammers, the advance upon thc
original price was only 95 per cent.,
the duties being equal to 56*? per
cent. On pad-locks the advance waa
88 per cont., and on vises 100 per
cent. On wrought steel-faced anvil.?
the duty of 2,1., cents per pound was
50 per cent., and the whole advance
05 per cent. On ox and log chains
tho duty of 2^, cents per pound is
from 100 to 10G per cent., and thc
entire advance 167 per cent. That is,
what cost &100 to buy in England,
cost $267 when landed in store in New
Y oik ( >n hooks and hinges the dut y
of 23._, cents per pound is equal to
140 per cent., and the cost advance is
260 per cent. On hoes the duty ia
45 per cent., and the cost advance 00
to 100 per cent.
And so it goes on; the great pro?
ducers of tho staff of life iu the West
and North-west, and of the staples in
the South, are thus compelled to con?
tribute to the overgrown and ill
gotten gains of these puritan blood?
suckers. The admission of the South
em representatives would put an eui
to this legalized system of robbery
and inaugurate the dose approach o
tho good old, but now obsolete, doc
trine, of free trade.

The coming session of the Ok
School Presbyterian Chinch, at St
Louis, is regarded with much interest
as it is probable that the question o
a ro-union of the Old and Ne*
School branches will be under discus
sion.
Idtructions have been issued b
quarantine all vessels arriving a
Fortress Monroe and Norfolk Iron
Key West, the same as those from th
West Indies.
A pi>l y ina: thc Remedy
We learn- ttoxn pur North??** ^t

ljpldera'by the rtiiicrTal bf a *gHdi<*?d j
office-holder, and Ibo appointaient of i
a conservative ?mn in Iiis place. All
the office-holders luwre taken the j
?darin, and ure making strong efforts
to save themselves. The radicals in ?
Congress ur?- confident of' x-arrying j
Pennsylvania and Ohio next autumn,
because there is. nu break uuiong.
fliemeclvcK,'bnt if they look home?
wards they will see t-hauge* going on
very rapidly, which doubtless will bc
hastened and augmented by putting j
out of office every "disunioniat."
President Johnson, tims far, ba? j
forborne to usc his patronage to sup- ?
port his iH)licy. Ho hus still in hi?
corps of constitutional advisers three j
men. at least, who ure opposed to bis j
measures; but wc are of opinion that j
the fierce war-waged against him by
the radicals will constrain bini to re- j
move them. All thu sip;ns of the
times indicate the disintegration of j
thc present dominant party, and j
these signs arc more noticeable iu the \
great North-western States. The io- i
cal elections in Indiana and Illinois I
show unprecedented g:\insforthcoon
servative party, and, indeed, from all j
quarters comes a ground swell which j
precedes the earthquake that will as-]
BUredly engulph Hie radical faction. |
We have very little doubt but that ?
the conservative or Democratic party
will sweep the country in the fall
elections, and overwhelmingly elect
the next President. So mote it be. j
From present indications, the r;wli- !
cal "engineers are about to be hoisted
by their own petard.*' If there were i
no negroes in the "loyal" Sbites, the
attempted elevation of Coffee rn a po- !
sition of social and civil equality with
the white inhabitants of the South
would be submitted to by our "North
em brethren'" with extraordinary
equanimity and .sublime fortitude.
But there are in the Northern States
hundreds of thousands of negroes i
who are very black, bumptious,
odoriferous, conceited and insolent.
They have lost, uo time, it seems, in !
exercising all the rights, social and
political, which tho radicals declare
are secured to them in tho bill which
was "made a law despite the velo of
the President."
As the prejudices of color and race
are really much more violent at the
North than even at the South, the
energy with which thc Northern ne?
groes arc just now asserting their i
rights is greatly disgusting the whites, j
Already bas Cuffee claimed the right
to sit where he pleases in the concert
rooms, theatres, restaurants, omni- j
bnsses, railroad cars, steamboats and 1
churches of tho North. Inspired by I
the civil rights bill, he is demonstrat
ing, with unpleasant pertinacity, that I
he is "some pumpkins."
The "black draught," it is very
evident, is working beautifully, and ]
the intense disgust and indignation
with which the Northern papers al?
lude to the practical operations of
the civil rights bill is very diverting.
These complaints are unreasonable
aud unmanly, however; for if Cuffee
cannot tak* liberties with his friends,
what is he to do ? We fear the inter?
est felt by the negrophilist ill the po?
litical and social advancement of the
negro is very like that w hich Artemus
Ward took ni the late war, when he j
declared he would "cheerfully sacri-1
tice his own cousins and all of his i
wife's relatives to preserve the Union. "
They are perfectly willing to see the
Southern negro elevated, but theil"
awn black neighbors must be pun?
ished, if they give themselves airs.

The prospects of the cotton crop

that slavery shall no longer bc per?

will be a great accommodation to the com?

TLLEOUATH LINE TO GKEKXVILLL.-Some
years ago, when .we were suffering from
thc want of a direct line Northwards, via
Charlotte, N. C., Col. Bullock, the able and
energetic head of the Southern Express
Company, made arrangement? with the
Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad
Company, und tho Express Company built
thc line. About thc same time, we learn
that bc proffered som? similar arrange?
ment to the (irc-cnville Railroad Company,
and wo learn that the Express Company
are now running their messengers |and
freight over this road. This reminds us of
the former proffer of Col. Bullock, and wa
have uo doubt that, when the matter is
brought to hi.i attention, he will go to
work and erect the line. This line would
bo of great importance to the people of th?*
State, both in the upper and lower sec?
tions, connecting mountain and seaboard,
and would doubtless bring additional busi?
ness to the Express Company managed by
CoL Bullock.
