TAX ON TEAS,

Nothing can exceed the shutting Of the
Locos to make political capital out of every
step taken by the present Wing congress to
reform abuses and adopt new measures
Throughout the columns Of their papers, in
this state, appears the watchword "Tax on
Tea, Coffee and Sugar." repeated in their
usual gasconading style, as fetch upon the
Wings. The last enormously extravagant
administration, besides the ordinary income,
spent thirty one millions which they found in
the Treasury, and have left us in debt six
teen millions. TO meet this the present in
come Of the government is wholly inadequate.
The revenue bill was accordingly passed,
laying a tax generally upon all articles be-
fore duty free. The majority Of the Wings
made an effort to exempt tea, coffee and SUI
gar, which they deemed articles of indispen-
sable necessity. But the whole locofoco
party united against them, and by a trick for
ced taxation upon these articles into the bill |;
and now with brazcn cffrontry, they are
cndcavoring to cheat the people into the be-
lief that the wings have done it.
The following account of the proceeding,
which will doubtless be found correct, will
expose their base imposture:
There is one feature in which the bill was partc,l-
larry Objectionable to most Of the whigs-viz the tax
on tea and coffee. The WING members held caucus
on this subject at which large majority determined
that tea and coffee should be exempt from taxaon.-
Accordingly, when the bill was under consideration
in committee of the whole Mr.. Lawrence of Pa, a
prominent whg member, moved to amend the bill by
adding and coffee to the list of free articles. Be.
fore the question could be taken, Mr. Clifford of Maine
a leading locofoco, Immediately moved to amend the
amendment of Mr.. Lawrence by adding to tea and
coffee sugar, moasses and salt."-The whole loco
foco party then united in voting for the amendment
to the amendment and in conjunction with such O
the ultra and ttarif wings wished tea and coffe,
10 be taxed, carried the amendment The wings wer,
thus placed in a very awkward predcament, from
which they attempted in vain to extricae themselves
Mr.. Winthrop Of Boston called for a division OF thu
question on the amendment amended so as TO pre-
sent the question separately but the chair very prompt
y decided that the voteof the committee having join
! cd them together the chair could not put them as
sunder The wings were thus compelled either Il
vote for the entire propositlon or 10 vote the Who'll
down therefore they rejected it entirely. And thu
i, comes to pass that by dcx,erous manoeuvre o
the locos, and coffee to bo taxed. Yet in tn
locos had the harlhood to attempt 10 raise outer
against the wings for taxing articles which entere
into the consumption of the poor! hope you vii
keep these facts prominently before the public, an
let the people see the measures which are to DO re
sorted to, 10 make political capital.

CANASpAIGuA, Aug. )


A discovery has been made in this part of the
country which has excited no little curiosity. A
sturdy oak, one Of the primeval settlers had been
felled for the purpose of being converted into ship
timber. During the process Of saving n number of
missions were discovered which mad evidently been
made with some sharp instrument Of iron or steel,
and these cuts found to lie 400 grains from the
outer bark each grain being the growth Of one year.
According TO this idea, this country must have been
traversed 400 years ago, by men accustomed to the
use OF iron and steel instruments, bu, whether Of
their own manufacturing or not must a, present re-
main amystery.
Discoveries like that mentioned above, are
not unfrequent. This country was doubtless
discovered and traversed more than four
hundred years prior to the voyages of Column
bus, by the Mortimer, from Greenland,
Iceland, &c. There seems but little doubt,
moreover, that the Spaniards penetrated to
the Onondaga lake, overland, from Florida,
in the dayes Of Fernando dc So,o--might
they nothave committed the assault upon the
tree referred to by the writer of the Can
andaigua letter {!

ARE YOU READY1

IN about three weeks the Freemen OF YER
mont will be called upon to choose their
State officers and members of the Legsla-
.ure. Are the wings ready to do their dut.7
Are they united in their several towns on
candidate for Representative Inunion, only,
there is strength.
We presume that there is not wing in
the State who does not feel proud Of the po-
litica distinction which Vermont is entitled
to, contrasted with her sister States. All
are aware that no other State in the Union
has maintained the same steadfast opposition
TO the Executive usurpation and misrule
which characterised the administration ofthe
Government the last twelve years:
Among the faithless, faithful only she"
She cannot now faltcr. Her course is on
wAnD-cncouragcd as she is, by the recent
appreciation Of her principles by nineteen
out of ,wenty-six States, and the hope Of
carrying out thorough reform in tho Gov
eminent. Under these considerations, and
in view Of the bright and cheering prospect
before US, ,ciN not VERMONT be found to be
TRUE, FIRM in the GOOD PATH, defying,
spurning back and scorning every trick and
device Of the enemy TO make her bow the
knee to tho Baal Of Loco Focoism?
The obligation under which every freeman
lives in this Republican Governmental MAIN
tain a constant and jealous supervision over
the conduct Of those to whom power is en-
trusted, should never be forgotten or disrc-
garded. The chief security for the MAIN
tenance of our democratic institutions is to
be found in the unceasng whatchfulness of
the people. If, by an ovcrwecnng conf
dence in particular principles or the strength
of a party which supports them, or an un-
worthy Indifference to public affairs, the
people are induced to forcgo the exercise OF
the right Of suffrage, the first stop is taken
towards the overthrow Of tho institutions
which have been established at so great an
expense Of blood and treasure. But, we
trust We mistake the spirit Of the Wings
llIC uut oCIHVNIuSS SIIIOHtS WIIcl We
indulge insucl, misgivings. All must be sem
sible Of the importance of tho entire wing
force being out at the approaching election.
Our opponents chuckle over the division and
dissenson which has pcrvaded among por-
ton Of the wing ranks. They expect to
gain much by it. 1t will he a shame to u.
II VIC do no, blast this unworthy expectation
VIZ MUST ACT IN CONCERT, If WE WOULD
ACT WITH EFFICIENCY AND WITH SUCCESS
Our candidates for State officers are mer
worthy of the confidence and the support O
the Wings. In their election by our whole
strength we shall witness the renewed triumph
Of our principles, which will be hailed will
Joy by the friends of reform throughout tn,
Union and encourage them to stand FIRM an,
UNITED in tho defence of our country
