' The Beauties of Protection. The New York Kazpress presents the tax-payers of the country with these figures,. which every one of them will do well to examine carefully, in order that he may the better understand the system of rascality which the Radicals insist up on making him support.

The balance has gone into the pock ets of private companies. The people have paid over fifty millions of dollars in taxes in the last year, for the benefit of those engaged in four different branches of business—the manufacture of pig iron, salt, blankets, and cloaks. The other industrial interests of the country have been required, through the influence of Radical laws, to pay over fifty millions to enhance the profits of these four interests. And this is what Radicalism calls protecting “home industry.” It is robbing the masses for the benefit of the few. It is taxing labor for the benefit of capital-—adding to the burdens of the poor and increasing the wealth of the rich. ‘When the tax payers come to do 'their voting this fall, it will be well for them to understand how' the . candidates for Congress intend to act in regard to the continuence of this system of unwarranted and unjust taxation, and vote agairst those who favor it.

THE CAUSE OF THE FRENCH WAR. From the Chicago Tribuue. L To attribute the cause of the declaration of war against Prussia, by France, to the alleged insult offered to Count Bene: detti by King William, or to the candi dature of Prince Leopold, or both together, is to misstake the shallow pretext for the real provocation. ¢ In his reply to the addressof the Corps Legislatif, Napoleon said: “You are right in recalling the words of Montesque. The true author of the war is not he who declares, but he who renders it necessary. — We have done all that depended on us to avoid it ; the entire nation, in its irresistible force, dictated our resolution.”

Neither ‘lo the address of the French Parliament, nor in the reply of the ifimpe ror, nor in the official circular, nor yet in the- proclamation : of Napoleon to the French people and army, can. be found stated the real cause of the declaration of war against Prussia. And still the cause lies. open to the sight and inspection of all men who do not wilfully shut their eyes and refuse tosee and acknowledge it. The unification of the German people into one nation, under one government, is the “insult to French honor” that has dictated the resolution of Napoleon-to declare war. The “conspiracy against our security, and the attack of our honor,” asserted by the Corps Legislatif, consists of the yearning desire of the German heart for the reconstruction of the Fatherland into one homogeneous nation. This is the unpardonable sin in the eyesofthe French, and to prevent which they march their legions to the Rhine. The world sees and understands it. No gloss can conceal or obscure the fact, which the French have not dared to officially avow, but which dll Frenchmen know anlf’confeas to each other. : .

Five years ago, Germany corgisted of forty kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities, and’ tribes. Germany, on the map, was called the labyrinth of geography. Never since the world was peopled was there a district of territory so curiously and absurdly subdivided ; never was the power of a great people so subdivided, dismembered, and frittered away under the rule of multitudinous magnates and contemptible tyrants. While this condition of internal disunity and impotency continued, France was:bappy and content.—— Her delicate sense of honor: received its. first wound when Prussia reannexed the province of Holstein. And it received a rude wound four yearsago whén thesame Prussia expelled ‘Slavonic Austria from the dictatorship of the German Bund on the field of “Sadowa, ‘and reorganized three fourths -of the Fatherland into ‘theNorth German Confederation, without paying territorial tribute to France to the extent of the Rhine provinces. Jt was this act of the German people that gives France her casws belli. But does it justify it? Have not the Germans as much right to be one nation, with one government; as the French? Has not Napoleon himself for years proclaimed the inalienable right and the political necessity of' all the people belonging to one race, speaking one tongue, and cultivating one literature, to organize themselves under one government ' for their common good and common defense ? The various States of Italy, acting on this Napoleonic proposition, expelled their tyrants and erected the Kingdom of Italy with ‘his consent, approbation, and assistance, - ; If the doctrine of the solidarity of peoples is correct when applied to a 8 Romanie group of dissevered States, 1s it not equally’ true and legitimate for dissevered 'States and tribes of Germany 'to’formi’ one gov: ernment and constitute one family among nations? ; e . Every man who sides with France in her mad, wicked assanlt on the German people must demy their . right to be one nation under one government, There is no possibie escape; from it. No flimsy subterfuge, such as the interview between the King of Prussia and the French Am-. ‘bassador, can concesl the true cause of the war or justify .France id declaring it. The pretended provocations are met & thousandth part as great as the cause of complaint the United States has against Great' Britain, and ‘yetwé 'hive not declared Wwar against’ that power. Not beccause this government is not able to an; ish her adversary to the full extent of her utmost, desires, byt because it was deemed best to rely on time, negotiation, and the ‘justice of our claim, before proceeding fo eitrammition) 1o " sooban 00l o vrt -

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1870.

LOUIS NAPOLEON. - From the ‘l‘ole*do Blade. Tbe word Absolutism as applied to the Emperor of the French is the correct word, for after his own dynasty that 1s the one idea which he represents in both politics and religion. It has been claimed for him | that he had great schemes of making France the equal of England as a commercial nation, and that hence he straightened the streets of Paris, rebuilt the docks of the Seine, held the Great World’s Exposition, and undertook the Mexican project in order to secure the gold and silver of that country and also the gold of California, in the event of the dissolution of the United States. Such schemes be may have bhad, but his own declaration as to | his purpoees in t:ht':»Mexiqsn project show that he aimed to give what he called “Old ' Europe” ideas, that is, Absolutism, a permanent footing on the American conti‘nent, and that he wished to strengthen the Latin race, which now, as always, is the race of despotism, so that it might maintain these ideas in the New World. He claimed to bave introduced the idea of nationality into Europe, and 'hence fought for Italian unity, yet the moment. that unity was about to be consummated by absorbing the Roman States, he threw his sword between Italy and Rome and kept the representative of Absolutism in religion on his throne. When German unity was about to be consummated by the 'victorious carcer of Prussia’ when she drove Austria to the gates of Vienna in 1866, Napoleon promptly interfered to prevent the German people from being ‘consolidated into a ‘nation. ‘No doubt also, one of his present.motives is the absorption of the Rhine provinces into France, provinces which are two-thirds ‘German, in which the German language is about predominant,”and in which the affinities and traditions of the people are Gerwnan. . Thus his idea of natiopality is only a cover of other ideas. These ideas of French commerce ‘and nationality he undoubtedly has had, but the test principle of all his. action is the principle of* ‘despotism. T w3t ifat Running through all his action for the triumph of his “ideas Napoleonic,” (which . are not his ideas, but are those of Cissar and of the Latin monarchs for centuries,) the world has noticed a vein of treachery which has made him, by & large party in Europe and America, the most detested and anatbematized of rulers. He came to the throne by an act of treachery whioch made the Liberal men of France his implacable foes for all time. Under the cover of Liberal sentiments, be procured liis elevation to the position of a consti:* tutional ruler, declaréd himself Emperor and compelled a ratification by-one of his “plebiscitam”. votes. By this same species. of election he has compelled an ostengible support of his Empire. The last “plebiscitum” in which opposition journals were suppressed, printers were arrestcd for printing opposition tickets, and soldiers’ were threatened with punishment if they cast negative votes, is still fresh in the memory of both continents. He selected the aecomplished Maximilian to ‘represent his ideas upon thé- throne of Mexico, sent him troops'to 4id in the beginping and pledged him support, but when he found that his scheme must fall, he withdrew his soldiers and 'left the young Emperor to perish. The Empress Carlotta, who still lingers with her mind eclipsed and with the sympathy of all the world for her. misfortune, appealed to the treacherous monarch in vain for aid. She turned away exasperited at his treachery and overwhelmed with the ruin which' she felt impending and went. mad uader the strain. He instigated the insurrec--tion in Crete, butithe ‘inoment he found: his objects unattainable, he aided in sup: predsing the very insurrection which he had instigated. bt

- This mam; who disappointed the hopes of Italy, who left Maximilian to perish and drove Carlotta insane, ‘who turned false to the Cretans and helped to crush them after several years of struggle and suffering into which bie helped to . lead them, and who sits on.us throne by usur. patiotl and treachery, is now going:to war for the supremacy of the continent of Europe. American sympathy must, of course, be: againdt him, however much we may ‘regret the sufferingof the French people. Liberal mea on both continents must /hape for his overthrow, not so much for his treachery as.for the cause which he represents: ‘That overthrow. i probably ‘ot far distant, nd that Providenéewhom. he has ‘/vexed™ may intend this over‘throw in’ permitting the 'approaching straggle oo Dirg " udsotl }

! . PRENCH AID TO AMERICA. - From the Chicago Tribune. A |, The American apologists for the French invasion of Germany, contend that France has peculiar claims on American sympathy, and good wishes for her success ip her present unprovoked undertaking, on sccount of the aid she rendered the color nies in their struggles for independence, -ninety-flve years ago. Without denying “the importance of that aid, or feeling any disposition to undervalueit; and while admitting that Americans should slways cheerfully acknowledge their sense of obligation therefore, nevertheless, it is due %o the truth of history to state that the French. Government did not rendér that assistance out of any regard or affection “for the colonists or the cause for which they contended. It mattered little to France whether they rebelled in order to establish a republic or a monarchy.— What France was especially interested in, was to secure their detachment from the British crown, and the aid ' she renderedhad for its sole object the infliction of a wevere wound on her hated rival and ene‘my, the British. Bty It was only a few years before the commencement of the American Revolution that & bitter war of eight years duration; between Great Britain and France had terminated with the total extinction of French authority in North America. In that war, beginning in 1755 and ending - with the treaty of peace made in Paris in 1763, the British, activcly aided by the American colonists, captured all the French possessions on this continent.— The very territory. the British now own north of gur boundary was conquered from the French by the joint effortaof the colonial and British forces. The Americans vigorously fought the French and their Indian allies during those eight years, and drove them out of all their possessions west of the Alleghanies and North of the Ohio; and, without this American help, the British eould not have conquered the Canadas and expelled the: French from North America. it

' Smarting under these severe losses and humiliations, it was only natural, only insccordance’with the motives that actuate and govern men's actions, that the French should give aid and comfort to the revolted subjects of their detested neighbor.— The French Government sought revenge, and desired to weaken snd humiliate its rival, and it accomplished both ends.— The polpnis:ts,’_c,_lea_ilx understanding the feelings of the French towards the Brit- - ish, despatclied the long-headed and astate Dr. Franklin to Paria to work up an ‘egfl:‘;'rqi‘lpept .béfweqn those ?owers. of all men, he was the one best qualified for the mission. In ashort time, he obtained sqme surreptitiqus assistance from the French, which was smuggled into the colonies. But it was not until the Americans had withstood the whole brunt of the British power for a considerable pes riod thatihe was'able to mg.uoe the French to espouse their cause. - But they furnished 'no land fotees until néar the termination b}f.fidfi' war, and théir navy was of { little value, ag it did not prevent the landing of a single red-coat, . But they loaned the colonists several ' millions of: silver ‘ money, and sent them considerable quantities ‘of army : clothing; small afins, and - ammunition; without which it was hardly 1 possible for Washington and the :Conti: nental Congress-to have withstood eight Britishcampsigns. | ‘Bft'l\t”tbé "French Governmeént effected, { in great part, what it set out to achieve, viz. v the’ dismemberment of ;the British Empire. “With the aid of theAniericans, the French forced Great Britdin‘to surrendéf all her American colonies sonth of St.Liawrence:iand the great lakes:: They forced her to drink to the drege of the bitet draughit she 'had previously Reld to. their ‘lips.

| For President in 18732, Hon. Thomas | A. Hendricks, of Indiana. From the Oswego, Kansas, Demoerat. We feel that the election of 1872 will be the most important oné to the welfare of the people of the United States, of any which has preceded, since the organization of our government. And in conse‘quence of the importance of it, we may be pardoned for speaking of one man, for that position, better fitted, by his past thistory, his national fame, his fidelity to the grcat principles of the Democratic party, than perhaps any otherman, He is truly a statesman ; and upon all the vital questions of the day; that have presented themselves to the American people, be has universally measured them by the Constitution, and examined them by the light of the precedents of our fathers. We should present a candidate who will be able to control and administer this government, regardless of anything bat the Constitution and the just laws enacted under it. If ability and integri‘ty will give strength to the position, that bas been lowered by a mere tool in the bands of wily demagogues, we must cast about until we find these qualities, combined with an unflinching devotion to the great priuciples of the .Democratic party. : , . ,

We want a man who will care more for “the people than for fast horses, that will prefer the executive mansion to Long 'Branch and Ida Lewis, that will select his cabinet upon the Jeffersonian princi- ' ple, “is he capable, is he honest.” A man - who can grasp in his great mind the ditferent departments of our government, and while recognizing the distinctions see that each performs its respective duSR o ¥ % ‘

Such is the man of our choice, and we believe he will ‘be ‘the choice. of the next National Democratic Convention, unless the Convention is controlled by bondholders. o) ; He is not only & Democrat without blemish, but a lawyer of great ability, an orator of force and power, and one of the ablest statesmen of the age. . His career in the Senate has been as noble as his ability has been overwhelming, and on our financial questions he has made such a record that the workingmen of this nation can but admire him, He is opposed to Bondocrats, high tariffs, land rings, whisky rings, National Banks and all the perfideous acts and inventions of the Radical clan. With his name at the mast-head, the old Democratic ship would enter the harbor of success with colors flying, and civit liberty would soon bless every portion of our land kg The rottenness of reconstruction would be cast off, and grabbers would have to disgorge, and the actual settler would be permitted to ‘enter his home at govern. ment prices. No Territories large enough to make three or four States would be given sway under the administration of our men: Thén we hoist the name of TaoMAs A. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, and we say three cheers for Indisna's ,Frestest statesnan. - Who seconds'the motion ?

I : i - From the Warsaw Union. | To the Temperance Men -of Koscius- . . ko County. I congratulate the lovers of the temper. - ance cause, in this county, on the very happy selection made by the Republican= convention, recently convened at Goshen, ‘of one James McGrew to fill the office of Prosecuting Attorney. A wiser selection could not have been made. His nomination is a perfect exhibit of the justice, wisdom and morality of the Republican party. James is a young.man of rare attainments, having graduated in the school of vice, with the highest honor. Hijs temperament beapeaks his usefulness, being a compound of the slogo and the abdominal, with the mercury at 100 deg fh., it ishard to tell' which predominates. T am very sure however that James will not die a martyr to toil. Ot the size of his bramn and its expansive force, I cannof speak with sufficient exactness, as I am unskill. ed in deeply hidden things. The fact is be runs to hair and flesh, rdather than brains ; so far as obscenity, vulgarity and profanity is concerned, be. has but few equals. ; . ] His more-ale’qualifications are supremely excellent ; having drank deep and ¢opious draughts of the same. Indeed, his capacity is.excelled by very few. - James is not only more ale, but also exceedingly pie ous, and ‘was never known to be backward to partake of a full share iniall pieous proceedings. James is'a lawyer of nosmall dimensions—at least 200 avoirdugois. His practice at the many different bars of Warsaw, has been notoriously extensive. -In fact, he was never known to lose one single case. The ?colgle are sometimes disposed to make slight of his gas, but James is not responsible for their mis‘takes. . - .

Taking all these things into consideration, I feel like saying to the temperance people of this county: Gird anew your armor; prepare foran earnest and determined warfare against intemperance, and at the dar you will find James engaged;to the full extent of his ability, | .

: ' What Has He Made! = The Albany Post thus sensibly replies to a statenient made “in the New York Herald that. during the last twenty yeara William B." Astor has so managed a fortune of twenty millions, as to roll it into sixty millions: , : - “Buappose he has, ‘what then? What has he made by the operation, except increased worriment to keep the run of his increased wealth. Astor, withsixty mil‘lions; eats no more oysters, quail, woodcock and boned turkey, than he did when he was worth ten millions. He ‘dresses no better and has a thousand times less fun. We beat him on the sleep, and bave no lawsuits with tenants and tresggmrs. Robbers lie for Astor every 'time he goes out-doors after dark. They don’t thick of us. ~Astor, with sixty millions of dollars, has sixty millions of troubles: To keep the run of his‘rents, bonds and real estate, Kkeeps Astor in wark -fourteen hours a day, and yet Astor gets three. square meals a day, which is just what we obtain without any niillions; any tenants, any real estale, .and only work eight hours per day., “If men’s happiness increased with their money, everybody should be justified in worshipping the Golden Calf. The happiness increases with certain earnings up to a certain point—the point necessary to secure them the comforts of lite, say $2,000 a %ear.k All beyond this is superfluous. Being superfluous, it is productive of no good whatever.” The richer the man, the greater is the ‘probability that his sons will live on billiards and die in the inebriate asylum.
