-MARCH 9. 1830
City and Ceunt j- Official Paper.
JJJCiT JIJE.V AY 2VI SEX ATE.
Mb. Wattersox, tlic editor of. the
Louisville Courier Journal, thinks
fit to declaim to tlie farmers of tlie
vest that the country is in danger
from rich men; that the senate is full
of them, etc They are not afraid of
rich men. They know something of
the means by "which wealth is accum
ulated in this country, and that the
scramble is free for all- They have
made money themselves. The mere
inability to make money is not con
clusive proof to them of an exalted
forecast or a high'charactcr. No oth
er qualification appearing, they es
teem ability of this kind more highly
than mero impecuniosity. As a class,
they have something of the respect
for pecuniary standing, attained by
one's own efforts, which in more aris
" tocratic countries is felt for inherited
wealth.
The same bias which led Mr. Wat
terson to think thirty years ago that
slave labor was better than free labor,
that a slave confederacy would be bet
ter than a united republic, attends
him to-day. It inspires him to imag
ine that the farmers, of whom he sees
little, instead of being the ruling class
in this conntry, aro the oppressed
class; that instead of being aided in
their prosperity by legislation which
is the effect of their own votes, they
havo evinced their incapacity for the
suffrage by voting themselves into a
condition of bondage, from which they
need to escape.
The difficulty is in jtfr. AVatterson's
vision, not in the condition of the
western farmers. He is like a fiery
horse which has never been broken to
the presence of the locomotive. He
fears a higher civilization than he can
understand. He assumes that safety
for him and others lies in breaking
away from bridle, harness and gearing,
and smashing through to a supjwsed
liberty, an untamed ideal. Tlie loco
motive seems dangerous to the horse
only because he does not understand
it His noso being held to it long
enough, ho fiuds that his"sole danger
lies in his pursuit of freedom. So the
federal union beemed dangerous to
Mr.Watterson thirty years ago, and the
tariff seems dangerous to him to-day.
He laments that we have no Clay,
Webster or Calhoun in the senate. If
the senate could consist of Clays, Web
eters and Calhouns only, it would be
further from Mr. "NYatterson's standard
than it now is. Clay was an ardent
Protectionist If he were now in the
senate, Watterson would detest him as
an Indian detests a fann, or as men
who are free traders merely from an
unthrifty f anatacism hate manufactur
ing, or anything which is in advance of
them. Both "Webster and Calhoun dis
trusted the influence of the illiter
ate class, "having no stake in the
country," but upon whose votes Wat
tersotfs views so largely depend for
their danger. Webster intimated that
affrage should bo limited to taxpay
ers, and Calhoun believed that capital
should be represented. If Watterson
would stand well with his friends he
aanst not too indiscriminately approve
the policy of "making government a
study."
Mr. Watterson says:
The city voter is notoriously more
corrupt thau his country brother. He
seldom concerns himself about the
man who makes the laws unless he
has some job to put in his hands for
saooessful promotion. For that pur
pose a fool or a scoundrel suits him
better than an able and upright man.
Singular anomaly! The very classes
of voters whom Watterson thus de
nounces constitute the strongholds of
free trade. Those whom ho pictures
as upersons whom none but a fool or
scoundrel will suit'' recognize in him
one of their most superb and accom
plished leaders.
CURED
SCROFULA
Is that impurity of tlie Wood which pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings on tlie
glands of tlie neck; causes painful running
sores on the arms, legs, or feet; dcvelopcs
