THE TARIFF.

Strange as it may seem, there are some men
among us who still affect to doubt the fact that
the present administration is hostile to high,
or protecting tariff With the testimony of such
men as Buchanan, Benton, Walker and other
leading administration men in Congress, tho
declaration of Mr.. Van Ness here on the 4th,
and the practical results that stare the manufac-
turer and farmer in the face, it is, to u.s. surpri.
sing that any man should hesitate. To such as
have honest doubts on this subject, however, we
would say, read the following from the official
| organ. the Globe, of the 9TH of February last.
The editor is speaking of his course in refer.
ence to the tariff and notification.

With wall of logs 50 neatly laid,
And roof of bark 80 nicely pealed,
And well arranged .he rain to shed.
hail thee as the woodlands home
The hunters inn, and stage Of rest
To those who in the forest roam,
IT'S oft the spot where man is best.
How oft, when wearcd in the chase,
And faint with thirst and hunger too,
The rude log cabin is place
Where both are quelled with dainties new.
What traveller by night o'crtook,
And sees no village tavern near,
Would scorn then at thy door to knock,
And seek q welcome shelter there?
How many, fond of pride and show,
Build lofty mansions fine and gay;
Whose hearts no charity do know,
Stceled TO the prayers OF poverty.
Not so the hearts within thee found -,
They We known the wants that man assai,
And ne or the sorrowing bosom wound,
With cold repulse the poor repc..
Necessity here meets relief
The hungry find a table spread,
The weary a couch whercon to sleep
pillow where to lay ones head.
Should then scorn the humble roof
Whose walls the one alone has dressed,
Where often have had such proof
That man may live here too and rest
Not I, indeed, since twas in one
That first drew my infant breath,
This were enough to stay my scorn,
And make me love them till my death.
Oft from log cabins men have sprung
Whose names in history are prime,
And left a lesson for the young,
To initiate their deeds sublime.
Nav we then look with due respect
On dwellings such as here are seen,
And never, when call we make,
Find the latch string once pulled in.

When talk can make the negro white,
And falsehood truth and blindness sight,
Then may Vans speeches make US see
That Martins reign from blame is free.
When Van the tool of Slippery Elm,
Can prove it out that Brtain's realm
With negro subjects all is filed
That Congo, on the Afric main,
With pale faced natives swarms the plain
And white men hold the martial Shield
Then will he prove to Judgment sound
That none but democrats are found
Among the ranks of Martins friends,
Or federalists in Wing train bands.
Till he can prove this clear as day,
His breath is worse than thrown away.

THE WHOLE COMMITTEE BOI TED

The entire Van Buren, Vigilance Committee at Bel
mont OHIO have abandoned all further service in the
ranks of the power party, and rallied under the pa
trotlc flag of Harrison & Reform. We give them
cordial welcome for the Independent and manly pre-
terence OF Their country before their party. Their
address to the people concludes thus
we can no longer support a party whose golden
policy is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer
and whose professions for the people have been so
long and loud but whose practice proves TO us that
they love the loavcs add fishes more than the peo
Pies rights. For these and similar reasons, we can
not support Martin Van Buren, for the Presidency in
the fall of 1910.
