We [find the article below in our exchanges, without ?.any credit at? tached to it. It strikes us as being thoroughly illustrative of the princi? ple of protection as understood in the down East States, and was pro? bably written for that latitude. The reader will find instruction and en? tertainment in its perusal: "Protect me," is the iniploiiug cry of a comfortable, well-fed, well-clad personage, whom, at first sight, one would hardly take for a beggar. "Protect me! I own but 10,000 acres of laud in the world. It is my all. It is full of coal; but the Englishmen and the Nova Scotiaus have got coal, too, and they offer to sell it cheaper than thc price I want. Shut out this foreign coal and protect me, un Ame? rican laborer." He looks even less like a laborer than like a beggar. "What makes coal so dear, when the weather is so dreadful cold? God help us poor!" come from between tho chattering teeth of a toil-worn, care-worn, shivering woman, as she measures with stingy eye a scanty fresh supply of fuel to her waning fire. No cry from her to Govern? ment for protection. No protection to her from the greed of the strong, the cunning, the avaricious-. "Work for yourself. Work or starve. Self help. Every one for himself. If Government gave bread or clothes or fuel to the poor, it would demoralize them. Take better care of the pen? nies you earn. Lay them up in sum? mer for a wintry day." Such are the answers she would get if she asked for protection-if she turned beggar. No chance for her to put in a replica? tion. The voices of the coal-owners are mighty to drown hers. If she could be heard, she would say, "How can I lay up my pennies -when the strong arm of Government takes them from me, day by day, as fast as I can earn them, and hands them over to my richer neighbors? On e^ery spool of thread 1 buy, Govern? ment takes from me a penny or two to pay over to the Woonsocket Fac? tory Company, so that they make dear thread and big dividends. On every garment I wear, it takes pen? nies and shillings from me wherewith to fill the purses of the rich men who make cloth and stockings and shawls, and who cannot be content with less than fifty or one hundred percent, increase of their wealth every year to pay them for making dear clothes for the American laborer. When I buy a stove or a pair of scissors, I must pay some of my hard-earned pennies to support the wealthy iron-maker of Pennsylvania. I beg no protection to my labor and I ask none. Let us both alone-me and the manufac? turer. As you let me work my hum? ble way along as best I can, leave him to do the same. Give him no part of my earnings, and I am con? tent with my little share of this world's goods." If it demoralizes society for Government to give the poor food and clothes and fuel, is it not equally demoralizing for Govern? ment to give to the rich and the strong? And when it gives to the rich by taking from the comforts of the poor, is it not demoralizing so? ciety at both ends? "Mother, do give me another blanket, I am so cold," begs a shiver? ing child, of a winter's nigl t, on our Northern frontier. "I have no more, child; blankets are so dear, and all sorts of clothes so dear. John, what makes woolen things so much dearer than they used to be?" "I don't know; but they do say it is all dono to purtect us poor folk. A tonguey man told ns the other night that the Government m..st pro? tect us from the blanket-makers in Englaud and other foreign coun? tries." "Yes, but John, over in Canada they have nothing but English blank? ets, and yon can buy two blankets there for what one costs here. Thc English blanket-makers don't seem to be so hard upon poor folks, aftei all." "Well, I can't toll the story exactly; | but tho tonguey man made it all out | clear. I think ho said, too, that wool | wouldn't grow on our sheep unless j they was purtected." "Well, John, you don't inonu that j they kiver our American sheep with blankets to make their wool grow, and that's the reason blankets uro so j i source and dear?" j ''Well, I don't know about that; i but he mudo out that the sheep must j I bc purtoctod to git tho wool, and then j the men who made the wool into blankets must be purtected; else we'd have to uso the cheap foreign blank? ets, and then, he said, we'd be worse off." "John, don'tyou think the tonguey man was pulling some wool over your eyes? If I could get two blankets instead of ono to keep the children warm, the sheep could do well enough with tneir natural kivering. It seems to nie that we poor folk, what don't have any natural kiver of wool grow? ing on our backs, want purtcction more than the sheep." "Well, that's just what Deacon Welloff says; he says these high prices purtcct us as well as the sheep; and you know the Deacon subscribes j a good deal of money for tho poor." ! "That's all true, John; but then the Deacon don't seem to get any poorer for all he gives away; and the Deacon has got a good many sheep of his own; and whatever is good for his sheep must be good for tho Dea? con's own pocket: and they do say that he owns part of a big blanket factory down in Rhode Island, and so, maybe, the Deacon wrongs us poor folk out of ten dollars and then gives us back one dollar of it in cha ity; maybe, it' the poor bad cheap blankets and cheap clothes:, they ! wouldn't want any charity. You can't make me believe we're any better off for having only one blanket, when. | if they were chea] or. we might have two." The parable of Dives and Lazarus , j might be useful reading for those who are getting fat dividends from coal ; mines and factories. A Boltl Suggestion. The following, from the Washing? ton Constitutional TJniov, irrespective of the merits of the suggestion, fear? fully illustrates tho. extremes to which radicalism has brought the country: For several years past, we have fre? quently declared that the ultimate object of the radicals was the disfran? chising of all Democrats, and the en? slaving of all men who did not agree with them politically. Judging of the future from tho past, and from a knowledge of the character of the radical leaders and of the nature of their pet theories, we clearly saw and predicted this. Having reached a point where they think they can safely advance to this new position, they are beginning to declare their intentions. Every man who is a Democrat will be disfranchised with? in ten years, unless radicalism is checked. I The question is how to check it. If I the traitorous fanatics of that party persist much farther in their treason? able and nefarious designs, war will be the result. But the Democratic party, unheeding our repeated warn? ings for years past, has neglected to organize and discipline its ranks. "Eternal vigilauce is the price of liberty," and for some time past it was simply vigilance to be armed and prepared for the worst. Had the Democratic party boen regularly or? ganized, disciplined, armed and ready to take the hold at a moment's notice in defence of the Constitution, radicalism would not have been half as formidable, nor half as reckless. To avert being reduced into a con? dition of perfect slavery-perhaps sold like negroes; certainly liable, as we have been, to be imprisoned with? out cause, and murdered with process of law-the Democratic party must j organize itself into an army, with the I discipline und drill of an army drawn tup before tho enemy! it is abso? lutely necessary! Jf we do *io at once, we can save the Republic. If wo do not, then farewell to all free government. Death has been very busy during the month o? January among the aristocracy of England. The Mar? quis of Exeter, popular as a states .man, sportsman and gentleman for half a century, was buried within a few days of the Earl of Kingston. On the day a beautiful youug daugh? ter of Lord St. Vincent was buried, the old Countess of Mayo-mother of th* Chief Secretary for Ireland, Lord Nass-died; and, on the 27th, died, at tho age of eighty-two, Sarah Sophia, the Dowager Countess of J ersey. Ben. Butler should be placed on tho Committee of Ways and Means, for the reason that he has such mean ways about him. SPECIAL NOTICES. SWEET OTOFONAX!

MACH BITTERS was struggling into no? tice against the prejudices which every? thing new, however excellent, is doomed to encounter. To-day, it stands at the head of all the tonic and alterative preparations in exist? ence. Its celebrity has evoked many uni- j tations, but no rivals. Physicians pro? nounce it thc only safe stimulant that has ever been introduced into the sick cham? ber. In the hospitals of thc army and navy, the surgeons find it the very b< st tonic for convalescents, and report it as invaluable for sustaining thc vigor of I troops on the march, as a remedy for scurvy and all scorbutic affections, and as the only specitir for sea-siekucss. Califor? nia and Australia have emphatically en? dorsed it tts the Miner's Medicine par ex? cellence, tutti itt Spanish America and all the tropical climates, it is considered the only reliable antidote to epidemic fever. There is no mystery about the causes of | its success. It is thi- only stomachic and alterative in which, are combined thc grand requisites of a mihi, pure and unvitiated vegetable stimulant, with the finest selec? tion of tonie, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic, aperient and depurative herbs, plants, roots and barks that have ever been inter? mixed in a medicinal preparation. It is also proper to state that the Bitters are sold exclusively in glass, and never, under any circumstances, by the gallon or the barrel. Impostors and imitators are abroad, and the only safeguard the public has against them is io see that the Ritters they buy bear tho engraved label and note of hand of Messrs.- Hos tetter Ji Smith, and tho Government stamp over the cork of thc bott i.-.
