‘WHOM DOES PROTECTION
CONCERN‘!
This question, asked as to the tariff, and
as to the greater interests of the poor or
richin Protective duties is a good deal
like asking, TV/to have the greater need to
be defended by the laws, the weak or the
strong’! For, as the strong are able to
live with less aid of laws than the weak,
so can the wealthy better take care of
themselves than the destitute. For the
latter there may he need of poor houses
and other public charities; these, there-
fore, though a purely artificial contrivance,
all Governments find it good to create ;—
but is it the rich who require them ‘I VVe
apprehend not. ‘
Now, to sav that protective tariffs are
adopted for the benefit of the capitalists is
just about as true as that laws are made
for the benefit of lawyers only, or that
poor houses_are built merely for the sake
of the overseers of the poor. But there
are others that have a much greater inter-
est in the existence of laws than the law-
yers,and in that of poor houses than the
overseers. It is all the difference which
a man has between the necessity of living
and that of getting rich. Laws and poor
houses may enable lawyers and overseers
to grow richer ; but the rest of the com-
munity could not exist without the laws,
and the paupers would perish if there were
not poor houses. So it is with laws that,
by what we call the Protcctive System,
create more lucrative employment for
those dependant for subsistence on their
daily labor. The same laws help the cap-
italist-—a man already possessed of some
wealth—-to get more, but what is the little
and vain enjoyment of show, which added
wealth creates for him, in comparison with
the solid comfort spread among whole
bodies of the poor by these laws, which
bring their labor into constant demand,
and advance its compensation still more
in that continual employment’ than in the
mere rate of wages "E
If, then protective duties are to the ad-
vantage of one capitalist, (who could, how-
ever, live without them,) they are of vast-
ly more relative advantage to perhaps
hundreds of poor, in each manufactory,
who could scarcely live, even without
them-, and about wh-om, at any event, they
double and triple, and quadruple all the
security, and comfort, and respectability
of life.
To judge more surely of the fact which
we are asserting, let any one look at the
comparative condition of the laboring
poor, in those quarters where the Protec-
tive System has reared up these artificial
employments, and in those quarters where
it had not. In the former, you see all
busy, diligent and well paid; the women
as profitably occupied as the men, in pro-
portion to their strength ; and the very
children either at work or at school, upon
ilunds which the surples of their own
wages has in reality often supplied. No
rags, no wretchedness, no melancholy
cabin, half roofless, and with floor of mud,
n tattered troop of wild children about it,
a sad mother looking half famine struck,
to be seen occasionally through the dis-
mantle-d door or broken walls, her husband
probably gone fishing or a hunting, be-
cause he, the sole worker for the family,
cannot get employment more than Iialf his
time. .
This latter is the description, familiar
to every body, of the poor of all those
parts of the country where the beneficent
action of the system we speak of has not
yet created employments. Among them,
flttempt lo .MtI.rder the Deputy "T/Varden
of the State P'ri.s-on.--An attempt was made
yesterday forenoon, by a colored prisoner,
named George Wilson, to ta|<e the life of
Mr. lValker, the Deputy Warden. It
appears that Wilson was sawing wood ‘in
the prison yard, when Mr. Walker, notic-
ing that he did it in so slanting a manner
as to saw through dotible the distance
necessary, spoke to him on the subject.
To this he made no reply, but taking an axe
in his right hand commenced hacking very
carelessly. As the \V-arden was passing
him, he noticed that he took hold of the
axe with both hands, and turning round to
be on the look out for danger, he received
the axe, which knocked him down and
partially stunned him. The prisoner then
aimed another blow at his head, but Mr.
Vifalker in his efforts to ward it off, was
struck on the.__call' of one of his legs, by
the edge of the axe, which cut nearly
through the small bone. A third blow
was received from the edge of the axe on
his arms. The prisoner was aiming a
fourth blow at the head of the \Vardcn,
which would probably have proved fatal,
when he was fired upon by one of the
guard, and a ball entered his thigh, badly
fracturing the bone, and passing entirely
through.
The deputy warden is badly hurt but not
dangerously. He has been connected
with the Prison for many years, having
been there under the administration of Mr.
Pilsbury, and has the reputation of being
an excellent oflicer. Of course no human
foresight could guard against an event of
this nature. The prisoner is confined, we
understand, for an attempt to kill. His
term of imprisoriinent is for five years,
two of which have expired. He is an ugly
fellow and once tried to kill Mr. Strong
when he was Peputy \Varden.

confined at his tent at Point Isabel, by
sickness. China, 90 miles above Camargo,
was taken by ll-'lcCulloch and his 75 Run-

In the summer of 18-1-2 a \Vhig Con.
gress finished the labors of a long and
exciting session, by enacting a tariff law,
which after a trial of four years is no lon-
ger in txistence. Previous to the passage
of the act alluded to, which will be loiig
remember:-d as the tariff of 1842, the bus-
iness of the country was in a state of
extreme depression, and universal distress
was seen on every side. But immediately
after its passage a change took place.—
Business revived, and prosperity returned
to a distressed people. '1 he lour years
during which the tariff of ’-I-‘Z was permit-
ted to exist, were years of unexampled
prosperity in the business of the country.
This is a fact which must necessarily be
fresh in the minds of all, and needs no
proof.
We see there an instance of \\'hig legis-
lation followed by a period of great. pms.
perity. Let us now rnzirk the dill'erciicc.
The first session of the ‘.’9th Congress has
just been brought to a close. All the great
measures of Locofocoism have been adop-
ted. Thc tariffof ’-l-‘.2 has been repealed.
The Subtreasnry has been again forced
upon the people in spite of their thrice
repeated dissent. The consequences we
are beginning to feel. We wish to mane
no rash assertions with regard to them :—
we are willing to await the results which
we think are sure to follow, and judge of
the late session by their fruits. Al.cady
we see business paralyzed——and labor
deprived, not only of its reward, but of its
erriployment. VVe witness the reverse of
what we saw after the adjournment of the
Whig Congress of 184-72. The measures
then adopted imparted life, checrlulness
and. buoyancy to every department of
business. Enterprise was stimulated, and
industry was amply rewarded. We see
"(filling of this now. On the contrary we

T/is /lIoo72,.—Sir John Herscliell, at a
late irieeting ofthe British Association for
the advanc.enient of Science, expressed
the opinion that the temperature of the,
moon’s climate must be very high, “ or"

son is, that its surface is exposed for 14-
days at a time to the unmitigated and con-
tinual heat of the sun. At the full and for
a few days afterwards, the moon must cer-
taiuly be the reflector of some heat to the
earth. SirJohn has no doubt of the fact,
but as it has the cliurncter of culinary
rather than solar heat, that is to say, “it
emanates from a body b'-low the tempera-
ture ofignition,” it will be arrested by the
upper strata ofthe earlh’s atmosphere and
thnsabsorhed.
There its only effect will be to convert
visible clouds into transparent vapor. He

he has in his possession against Picketb

a possee to execute the writs, and thecall
