In our last issa rottlitkiro4,444y,pcan.
Journal, we published An article art,'lbenab
ject of Book peddling and secticag, and
in reference toe certain liir:4odd l s ; l uveling
-Bookseller now in Pottsville. On Tisueday
he opened, or, attempted to open, Book
Auctiourin a.iooso which he has rented, by a
set timelrof an hour and a half in,.#ength, llll
in which hti sought to iiditinia' - thip Amide!
alluded to; and tyro. the turrezt puhlic
opinion, by synipailietic tipped; to the joatri
-018111 and feelings ot: Lis _ audience. _
6 oding 'that feels were hard - subjects to:stum.
ble upon, he VeryunfortunatelY Alluded
-to the
virtue of being an American citizen, fOrget-;
ftil that respect and el xtdience our:
laws. constitutes' the great principle upon
which the virtue of being a citizen rests. 1
He also alluded to the privileges and rights
of citizenship, dur liberties of speech and!
action., but did not deign to consider, whilst,
attempting to infringe upon the rights of oth*l
era, that "right wrongs unholy." He appral. i
ed to his- honesty his disinterestedness and
iphilanthropy, in disseminating knowledge
among you, as it 'you had never seen a book
in your lives. or there was no place where. a
good book could be sold in the community;
fur he, concluded by saying in lan ir, nice%
manner that he did not wish to "cram yam" 1
Now we happen to know Mr. Judd, much
better perhaps than he does those whom he
so wittily (I) alluded to as "roaring Boos, &c.,";
and when we tell yon that there is' not a
shrewder business man, nor a keener penny-,
saver to be found, you will believe us that he;
is not much of a philanthropist. And not- 1 1
withstanding all his smooth pleadings * and
sympathetic appeals for patronage and sup
port, he is too deeply' interested ' in Western
land investments, to allow of his being gen
erous and liberal here, unless :yea choose to
pay him dearly for it, 'which we think you will
'lnt , feel disposed to do under the circninstan
cl, for though he haa tried fulsome flattery,
yet his compliments have been eminently . un
fortunate. In claiming that his rales would
not affect the permanently established trade,
he very ingeniously remarked that those who
patronize him "were generally "empty treaded
cople," which-we are inclined to believe, who
/ never think of going into a stationary book
store to purchase, but are readily attracted
by the novelties of an auction room.
He tried to ridicule the idea of a circula
ting medium, and said that money , would go
when it was wanted (1) because we had said!
that every dollar took from the place was!
lost to the people here, which we do not think
necessary to argue to your understanding; and
because we said that we should be ashamed
to thrust ourselves as a brazen-faced interlo- !
per, unasked and unwanted; Into a communi
ty like this, under the presfnt circumstances,;
as he has done. He tried to create a laugh
among his tearers at our expense, but with
out success ; though he made use of all the
arts of the: lawyer, and some of those peculiar
to the mountebank, - to effect his purpose.—. l
The sympa hies of the audience were not with
him, and his efforts at ridicule grew weaker
and weaker, until not a spark of life or mean
ing was left in them. He asked the audience
repeatedly, in an artful 'manner, whether he
should sell them hooka or not, agaiaet'the
wishes and the interests—against tne op
position of their own bookselleis, but not a
word was uttered;and he at last concluded,
after exhausting his arguments and wearying
his audience, not to sell.
Alluding to his respectability and popular
ity with the people generally, he very modest
ly(l) remarked, that when he left Lancaster,
after residing theiis about ten years, the peo
ple of that good city, seemed to think that
their very pillar and support was being. with.
drawn. -
But we do not believe in all of Mr. Judd's
disinterestedness. .He is too . much of a mon
ey
making, close-fisted man, to allow of his
being very philanthropic ; in fact we never
heard anything of the kind being attributed'
to him. He claims the friendship of Judge
Lewis, and says that the Judge will sustain
him in the course he is pursuing. This is
rather a singular kind of friendship that he is
displaying, in going round the country,.
the people that Judge Lewis will sustain
hiM4and give a decision in support of the
vi
¢lations of the laws, and that too, merely in
favor, of a friend.
The liquor dealers claim his friendship also,
and state that he will give his decisions in
their favor, but isomehow or other, they are
slow in getting their cases before him. - -But
we should think that instead of such charac.-
tern bei: g the friends of the Judge, they are
his most bitter enemies, and we cannot think I
that 'the Judge would care to be found_ in
such company.
Mr. Judd will have an opportunity to test
Judge Lewis' friendship, it he thinks that our
Jiidges are governed by such motives in their I
legal capacitiesi and insists ou carrying out
his designs; for the booksellers of Pottsvilld
are determined to carry the 'matter through:
They are pot to be , intimidated, as others
have been in neighboring towns, by a lawless
stranger, who attempts by a profusion of
harmless wotds to frighten people.
Now, Mr. Judd cannot be as innocent a
man as be pretends to be, for be knew before
coming into Schuylkill County, that he was
violating the ,laws of the State in coming
here ; and he knew that to evade the law in
other places, parties have been found dishon
est 4 enough o trump up debts as subterfuges,
and then g the Sheriff'to sell them off by
auction. We do notinoir whether Mr. Judd
bus resorted to these illegil practices or not
hims'lf, but we know that he cannot be ig
norant of the fact. .
Mr. Judd speaks of his books being good,
and from his manner of saying it, we should
judge that he inten*d to convey the inipies
sion, that other bnOks kept in, the place• were
not. His may be good, but that would be an
exception to the general rule with_ traveling
book-sellers and peddlers, who generally carry
around the most pernicious books, as we have
every opportunity of knowing, from the appli
cation of themselves, and those persons to
whom they hare been sold, for books .of the ' ,
same kind. His books may be all he says
they are, but it would be only one of the ex
ceptions, which Mr. Judd knows as well as
ourselves. Therefore, taking everything into
consideration, we think the benefits conferred
upon the community, by that Mode of distri
buting books, are much more dim counterbal
anced by the evils, flowing front the pernicious
character of the immense amount of filthy
and other trash, which is principally sold to
the "empty headed," who attend auction sales,
as Mr. :Judd asserted, which, we think ought to
remain empty, rather than be filled with such
matter, as can be gathered from them. -
There would bo no inducement for a man
to build up any business in country towns,
were he likely to be interfered with, or were
there no protection from such traveling har
pies, all of whom do not hesitate to lie, as Mr.
Judd, who appears to be one of the most res•
pectable, did on Thins* evening. Men
who establish themselves in a community,
have a character at stake, which these travel.
ing migratory persons have not, and a com
munity that will not support their beein.ess
men in preference to bud' Persona, are not
worthy of having enterprising men locate
themselves in their midst, end ought to be
cut off from all : the Advantages that such
men bring to a community where business is
conducted fairly and honorably.
We hive no room to discuss this subject
further this week, neither do we think it ne
cessary, since, after making a speech of in
hour and a half, and uttering pathetic appeals
to the people, to know whether be should gall

MIL BANNS . AND THE SPILLICENNUIP.-:,-411
noticing the claims of Mr. Banks to the sup
port of the Pennsylvania American delega
tion for the position of Speaker of the na
tional House of Representatives, ve are nat
urally led to view his position on the question
of Protection, of such vital importance to the
interests of Pennsylvania. When it is aver
red that Mr. Banks by his previous action in
Congress, opposed those measures; we would
ask what has been the course of prominent
Pennsylvania sham Democratic representa
tives in Congrefs, on the question of protec
tion lb Pennsylvania manufactures?• What
could'he expected of the representative of
another and remote State, when our own rep-1
resentatives had not the manliness to stick
through all opposition, to a measure of vital
importance to the welfare of their constitu
ents? To the vote of George M. Dallas, and
the treacherous letter of the notorioua Judge
Kane in the Polk and Dallai campaign, are
the people of Pennsylvania indebted for the
five trade policy which at this moment pros
trates the energy, and causes. that depression
in every branch of business so seriously and
disastrously felt by the nation;„ Protection
to American industry has always been and
is still opposed by the sham Democratic party.
We think that Mr. Bnks' former - course on
• the question was pe fecdy right. As a rep
mafresentative from sachusetts, a State inter
ested in certain modlficatiotts of the tariff, it
was his duty to join ulsue even with the oppo
sition to Pennsylvania interests, to secure
those features. Wecshould deem him recre
ant to his trust if he had acted otherways.—
And what aid we would ask, can we expect
from other sections of the Union, if our own
representatives in Congress desert the inter
ests of Pennsylvania, at the moment she ex
pects the most faithful fealty? Some years
since when Henry Clay was appealed to, to
advocate in the Senate, the protection of
Pennsylvania's interests, he replied, "what is
the use of my making speeches in the Senate
in favor; of - that question, if Pennsylvania
does not send men here who will advocate her
interests." The story is here told in a few
words. The fault lies with ourselves.
We have reason now, to know that Mr.
Banks is all right on the question of Prase
tion, and that the American delegation in
Congress,. from Pennsylvania, can consistently
support him for the position of Speaker of
the House. If elected we are assured that be
Would never disappoint the expectations of
those, to whom the protection of Arnerican
industry is is cherished principle. .
In reference to / Mr. Campbell's course in
voting for Mr. Banks, we have before alluded,
and we feel confident . that his action in the
matter will receive thq watt approbation of
the large majority—the most influential and
intelligent of his constituents. We trust that
the praiseworthy exertions of the friends of
Mr. Banks to elect him will be crowned with
success. He is eminently fitted for the po
siton, and his sentiments are such that the
American representatives Diu Congress, can
with consistency support him. .•
