To the Farmer
Dear Sir-Your communication in the Spy
OF last week, in opposition to the protective
system to the different interests in the United
States, is perhaps we'll calculated to mislead
the farmers in speculative theory which cam
not be reduced to practice. | first thought
" Publius"h had changed his name, but on taking
another glance at the communication. was
satisfied that it was only one lawyer, alias
" Farmer" endeavoring to prop up the argu-
ments of another. A farmer, generally, is
willing to weigh things fairly in the scale, and
draw his differences accordingly. He has no
bubbles in his writings or conversation. The
woolIen manufacturers aver that the system
pursued by the foreign consignees and agents,
in introducing their fabrics directly to the auc-
ton houses, TO sell for what they will bring, :"
is destructive to all regular business, and has a
deleterous effect upon every interest in the
community. 1t has been proved 10 the salts.
faction Of every intelligent mind, not blinded
by prejudice, that the business has gone from
the hands Of the American merchant, and has
passed into the hands of fore; gpers, whose in
terest it is to invoice their goods far below
their value, and which is not denied is the
practice, thereby innundating our markets
with thei. fabrics, drawing from us our money,
running the manufacturer, and defrauding the
revenue. IL these positions are correct, which
IS believed will not be denied, it Will be to be
proved what the advantages or disadvantages
to this country is or will be. On one side we
are told that the English goods are cheaper
than American, and that is sufficient of itself
without further investigation. As this asser
ton is very vague one, it will be well TO
look into its correctness. In every pursuit the
Americans have engaged they have succeeded,
and bid defiance to competition from other ma
tons, But in doing this they have been pro-
tected in the home market from ruinous com.

protection, been able to afford all articles pro-

Congress- bill for the protection of

Killing VOLTA large wolf was recently
killed at Ticonderoga, by MIR. John Cheany,
Mr. Z. fist discharged his piece at the wolf,
and having missed him, pursued and struck
him down, with the butt of the gun. He
then threw himself upon him, and inflicted a
wound in the throat with jacknfe; which
so lar weakened the animal. that he was en-
abied to kill him, by battering him with bis
gun. The wolf, when measured, was found
to be seven feet and one inch in length.

Knowing their inability to choose one oil
their own party it was the object of the jack
son men to elect as feeble man as possible
from the friends of the Administration. For
this purpose, John Mills was selected to op-
pose Elijah II. Mills, man Of whom the Ma
tional Journal has said, tive do not say he
has no equals in the Senate, but he certainly
has no superior" Yet, that is the very rea-
son why he is opposed. II is his ability, his
incorruptible integrity, and the 6rmness with
which he has supported the regularly consti-
tuted authorities of his country, that has en-
listed those against him With whom the oppo-
sition has originated.
Two of the Senators of this County have
through the whole of this business, been found
uniformly voting in opposition to the known
wishes Of their constituents 1t is not for US
to judge the motives of men; they may have
acted from a conscientious belief that they
were promoting the best interests Of their
1chOie country. Such course they were
to pursue. They were not elected by party,
nor responsible to party for their acts, but
appeared as the Representatives Of the whole
County of Worcester. We grant them all
the credit that may be asked for purity and
uprightness of intention, aud still we hold it
TO be the imperative duty of the electors of
this County, to place other men in their stead.
We would prescribe no man for his opinions,
but, when exercising delegated trust, they
cannot conscientiously act in conformity 10 the
wishes of their constituents, in the most i'm
portant cases, it becomes the duty of those
Constituents to supply their places with men
whose views are more in accordance with
their own.
1t is important that Massachusetts should
have her full representation in the Senate Of
the United States. 1t is important. also, that
che should be so represented as not to detrsct
from the dignity and influence she has hereto
fore maintained. Reduced very materially,
in her population, by the separation of Maine,
aud circumscribed to less than one third Of her
former extent of territory, she no longer ranks
as one of the first States Of the Union. The
power, therefore, which she now exercises in
the coniederacy, must be moral power, and
her influence, on the floor of Congress, must
be felt in the ability, rather than in the num-
Der of her Representatives.
Impressed with these considerations, we
cannot doubt that the people will prevent a
recurrence of the scenes which have been
witnessed during the present session Of the
Legislature. They will send men to the Sem
ate who will concur With themselves, and
with the popular branch OF the Legislature,
and who will not lritter away the time of a.
mother session to no purpose. Let them, there
fore, he looking around for candidates for the
Senate, TO whom they can entrust the cuties
devoiving then. With full confidence We
care not what may have been their former po-
litcal distinctions, so that they are men who
will faithfully represent the feelings and wish
es of the electors OF the County.
