He looked upou this at tbt moit diceetou aumfjiioL of rjwer on the part of the Inderal Govern meut, and would, if carried oat and reduced to practice, rubrert erery vestige cf sovereignty which cow reraalm with the State. But, for the purpoo of making himself distinctly understood, he would red from the principil organ, publrfbod in Washing ton City, which bat beeu laid down as cne of the fundamental principles of the order: "Filth. We shall utiutain the doctrine that bo one of the States of th'n Union baa the right to admit to tbe enjoyment of free suffrage auy person of foreign Dirth who has tot first been made a citixen of the United Stites, according to the 'uniform rule of naturalii itioa' prescribed by Congress ander the prorwions of the Consti tution.' The exercise of the power on the put of the Federal Government be understood to be claimed by tho Order every where, lie contended tint Coogreet could txerciat co euch power ia refer ooco to the voters within th limits of any State. TL;t tbt qualification of eleetars was a lubject poeuliar to the State, and over which Congress bad and could exercise no control whatever. Ooogresi could cej even prescribe the quilifica tion of voters for members of Conreos, for it was ccapelled t adopt the quiliücation bxed by the Sutte. The CoLt.tution itself was express apoa tbta point. It if, then, the Sttetbt de termine! and fiifi the chiracter and quilificitiun of the voters for members of Coogteaa, and not the Federal Government. If there have been abates of the ballot box by corruption or by the force of mobs in any Stile of this Union, the remedy it with the State, and not with the Con gress, in tbt paMige of natnraliiition law, lie would assume, aod thtt, too, without the fear of successful contradict ion, that the Federal Govern ment may pass a law nt jralizing foreigner in one month, and the State could legitimately and constitutionally prohibit them from ever voting in tbt Sitte; and, on the contrary, if the Federal Governmeot pass a Uw preventing foreigners from becoming citizeus of the United States until tbey Hve been here twenty one years, the States can, and have the power to admit them to the ballot-box, at socb time as they may prencribe, without any regtrd to the act of Congress oa the Subject of natural;! itlon, and to the erjoyment of all the privileges of the citizens under the State Constitution." The Governor then cited the Cocititution, aod various deciious of tbe Supreme Court of tbt United States in support of hi views, con cluding m follows: "It must now rx apparent to ail that this a power that should be exercised by tbe State, and do! by tbe Federal Government.

Protection to Hard Coal. iFiom tt Cti!caf Tribilie, (Bep.Ji We called attention the other day to the '-pro tection" afforded by the Government to manu facturers of cotton goods, showiag that such trotectlon, now thit the mtnufactare of cotton gode Las becout firmly established io this country, is simply a device for robbing the mil lion for the beut fit of the few. It is a common delusion to suppose that tbe protection of a cer tain branch o( hdustry contributes to increne the wagea of libortrs employed in it. whereas the advantages thin derived goes wholly to the capitalist, and not at all to the laborer. Waget are governed by two thing: let. the amount ne cessary to support the laborer; 2J, tbe law of uroly and demand . Of course tht laborer muit receive enongh wages to sustain himself and bis family, for no laborer could work for less. After that amount has been determined, wages will be high when laborers are scarce, and low when tbey are numerous. Tbe addition of five cents to the price of cotton cloth bv the intervention of Government, or any other agency, does not add a farthing to the wages of the man or woman who spint it, for tie employer it not actuated by charitable c-ouai lrat;on iu bis buainess. lie lookt upon every such rie in the market at bis juat profits, and be docs 'not divide thit profit with bi employees unt'l a acarritv of laborer co 05 pelt him to th so. Hence, wages tad pro teotioa have no connection with each other, ex cept posioly in the case of a branch of manufac ture which is ia in infancy, and which, by diver sifying the occupations of laborers, may, upon being esltblished in the country, aflord em ployment to some who could not otherwise ob tain it. It is generally conceded that the ptke of coal is euorraouily high. Mot houiftholdeie can testify to this fact. Tbe great eoal prod u ein g section of this country iststcrn Pennsylvania. Tb price of anthracite regulates the price of all kinds and qualities of coal In tht bnited Sttte. ALthracite is the most economical fuel in the world, aa l this country has a monopoly of it, (or it is found low here ele, and here only in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Khode Island. Prac tically, the Suto of Pennsylvania baa a mo nopoly of the anthracite trade of the world, end an immense trade it is. If it is poseible to con ceive of an interest which doen not need art i fi ciil protection in ibis country, it is the col in terest. Yet, under our dialing tariff, there it a duty of one dollar and twenty-five cents per ton imposoJ on foreign coal. At the duty is payable iu gold, it is equivalent at tbe prcjeut time to nearly two dollar rer ton. The internal duty on coal is only fire ceuts per t jii. The only dif ference between the internal duty and the import dutv constitutes the r&ctsure of protectiou which tbe law aiTbrdxtcuhe producer cf American coal. If the protectiou were removed the price of coal would necesstrily fall tvo dollar per to.'at tbe seaboard, and in the s&rr.e ritio hero. We will not characterize theexirt'iig Ui ill law as a whole, but we do afbrm that this prohibitory duty on coal Ia monstrous. It it ibeer robbery of the poor for the benefit of the rich, making the poor, poor, and the rich richer, every day that It continues. We trust that tbe representatives of the coal ror.sumipg districts, which constitute at least nine-tenths of the country, will not allow another session of Congress to pass without re ducing tht duty on foreign coalt to tht precise amount of the duty oo the domestic article. There is really less need of protection to toal iu the United States than to cord wood, because nature has given us better coal than other coun tries, and generally more accessible, while other countries have cord wood as good, and as easily handle !, as ours. Coal is an article of prime ceccsjit,' Kvery family mutt bavt it, however bumble, however destitute. Hence a tariff, which enhances the price of coal unnecestarily, it an assault upon the community in tht guise of law. J From the JTw Orleans Republican.) tnequal l ax.atlon I be Ciec State!. Jones and Smith are neighbors. Joses bad a firm of 250 teres; Smith one tf iL) teres adjoininr. Two months ago Jenes sold hie farm for 15,090. Smith did not tell bis, for the pro ceeds of tht mlc, had he made it, would aot aupport his family, and be knows nothing of anv business besides farming. Jones put his $25,000 in 7-30s. This was the proof of his "loyalty." Smith never gave any such proof, for be bad not the money to do it with. All that he could do ho did In when be bade bie two eons God speed as they left the old roof tret to go forward and fight and die for the integrity of their coun try. That was bis investment This fall when the tax collector comes around. Smith will find that, though the little boys and girla went barefoot, and bis wife turned her old drss and fixed over anew her new bonnet, and he himself made tba old coat and hat last through, and all the family denied themselves fresh eggs and other little luxuries that could be sold, so as to make tbe vear come out even, that be is very lucky indeed with all the?e livings bt is cot obliged to sell a cow to meet the demands of tbe collector. Jones baa bo such troubles. His $'25.000 is invested where it brings bim more than legal in terest, and be it by law exempted from taxation the amount that be should have paid toward the debt incurred for bounties, toward building bridges, repairing roads, supporting the poor, 1c, being distributed around among Smith and bis neighbors. General Utnks. Major General Banks was yesterday nominated for Congreis by the Republican Convention in tbe Sixth Masachuselts Pi-triet. New York Tribune. Thit tells the whole storv! It is as ct mhh speaks tbe inner purpoteaof the Republican party louder thin all tbe tcordt Mr. Thurlow Weed or Mr. Raymond can utter between now and elec tion. We quoted largely, a day or two since, from a s seech of Gen. Hanks taLinp the bnl.!et pcn.ole ground against Mr.Johcaon't policy of restoratiou. We aUo printed a report of bit re cent radical remarks at Lawrence. It is well known that at a d;cner given Gen. Bauka ia Bos ton, a week since, he proclaimed in substance that the President must take the back track. And thit Opponent of tbe Executive policy of restoration is promoted t j be Republican candi date for Congress under circumstances which give significance to the rebuke iuter dei to be ad ujiauteisd to Mr. Johuou.'

I know you approve the friendship I have ever profeed to you. and will permit me to contin ue, at heretofore, te manifest it on ail proper oc casions. You are now Washington's legitimate suc cessor, and occupy a position of almost danger ous elevation; but if you can continue, as here tofore, to be yourself, simple, honest aod unpre tending, you will enjoy, through life, tbe respect and love of friends, and tbe homage of millions of human beings, that will award you a large share in secunug to tbem and their dependents a Government of law tnd stability. I repeat, you do General McPbereon aud my self too much honor. At Belmont you manifest ed your train, neither of us being near. At DoneNon, also, you illustrated your whole char acter. 1 waa not near, and General McPbereon in too subordinate a capacity to influence you Until you had won DooeUoa, I confess I was almost cowed by tbe teniblt array of anarchical elements that presented themselves at every point; but that aJrnitte) arty of light I have followed since. I believe you area brav, patriotic aud ju?t as tbt great prototype, Washington; as unselfish, kind-hearted and honest a min as should be. But the chief rbancteriatic is the simple faith in success you have always manifested, which I can liken to nothing else thin the faith a Chris tian has in bis Saviour. Thit faith gave you victory at Shiloh and Vicksburg. Also, when you have completed your preparations, you go into battle without hesitation, an at Chattanooga no doubts, no re serves, and I tell you. it was this that male us art with confidence. I knew, wherever I wa, that you thought of me, and if I got iu a tight place you would help me out, if alive. My only point of doubt wa in your knowledH of grand strategy, and of books of feience nnd history; but I confess your common aerie items to have supplied all thet-e. Now as to the future. Don't sUy in Washing ton; come West; take to yourself tbe whole Mississippi Valley. Let us make it ded mre, and I tell you tbe Atlantic slopes an 1 tbe Pacific shores will follow its dee tiny, aa sure as the limbs of a tree live or die with the main trunk. We have done much, but still much remains Time snd time's influences are with us. We could almost afford to sit still r.nd let these in fluences work.

I'eihaps there never was a time since New V ork was a city that rents were 10 high aud house room so scarce aa atprcent.

In a bouse in Clinton street a party received a notice to leave a fortnight ngo; he wt paying peventeca dollars per month for half of a third floor; the landlord asked twentt five dollar', and got it eaaily. He then although receiving nearly three hundred dollars per month out of this flve-tory tenement bonse wan net satisfied, but gave warning to bis ten ants on the fifth floor to move, aa he wanted to add auotber story. Now tht cause of this scar city of house-room is that there is an exodus from the South and from Europe, all steeriLg to ward New York, and it is impossible to get places for all, to that rents have risen more than one hundred per cent.
