New Hampshire at its last session and the 10.
cofoco convention in Vermont a few months
s%ince--it is Nathan SMILES doctrine, that is
LET AMERICAN INDUSTRY TAKE
CARE OF ITSELF,'-and within two weeks
there have been public meetings ofihe l~occfocos
in New York City denouncing a Tariff, and
the like, made up in part OF foreigners and the
Lordly agents of the Monopolists of Great Brit
ain.
LET INDUSTRY TAKE CARE OF ITSELF" was
the unvarnished language of the resolutions of
the Van Buren, State Convention of Vermont a
few weeks since. "Let industry take care of
ITSELF" is the response of the Anti-Tariff NEE
ting in New York-"Amen" shout the British
MonopolIsts and enemies of America.
What say the woolgrowers and laborers Of
Vermont? Is not this a foreign doctrine p
But it is called democracy" by the locofocos.
1t may be their British Democracy-it is not
our democracy--it is not American democracy
it is not Wing Democracy.
1t is policy in the agents of Britain and her
subjects to denounce a National Bank, a Tariff,
&c. in this country, for, having a Tariff of du-
ties on our goods that go to England and also
a Bank of their own they can better affect
injuriously our interests and increase their own
wealth.-Caledonian.
A HARD GAME.-Last Tuesday, a very
gentlemanly and well dressed Englishman
by the name of Fox, aged about forty years
was arrested, tried and for want of bail to
insure his appearance at the next court,
was committed to the Jail in Newfane, VT.
for obtaining money from several gentle
men in Brattleboro', under false pretences.
He represented himself as being a man Of
great property, and had been obliged to
leave his residence in Sharon, N. Y, for
some m~isdemeanor, and told so good a sto
ry as to induce the gentlemen, some Of
them lawyers,to lend him money and other
wise to treat him with great p~olhencss.-
As he wasnot willing to return 10 his home,
he gave n of the gentlemen, Colonel
Chase, who had advanced him moneys at
different times a power of attorney to take
possession of his property, which led the
Colonel to proceed to Sharon, where he
found the said Fox to be a villain, without
property, and Furthermore had escaped
from the officers of that town under ar
rest for theft.-Northampton Courier.
THE TARIFF.--The revenue bill brought in.
to the House by MI. Fillmore proposes to
increase the duty on all goods that pay a duty
of less than twenty per cent. Free goods with
a few exceptions, arc also 10 pay anADvALoREM
Of 80 per cent.-AAas.
The largest items in the list of free goods
are SILKS and WINES, and upon the consumers
of these articles, which nave long been exempt
from taxation, will it fall TO make up the reve-
nue. heretofore received from the public lands.
But 10 this proposition,--and to the distribution
of the proceeds of the ands,-locofocoism in.
terposes every obstacle. Let the people re-
member, these politicians who would deny 10
Vermont and the rest of the States their rights,
for the benefit of the silk stocking wine bi5bers
They should be dubbed champagne democrats.

Science Preparing The way for Religion
The Albany Advertiser says that III. q Co
of that city have prepared some very val.
liable philosophical apparatus which has
been purchased for the use of the Mission
aries in India. One of the greatest obsta'
cles to The spread of Christianity has been
the conflict between the Missionaries and
Brahmins on questions of natural science
The religion ofthe latter strictly forbids the
use of animal food in any shape; the miss
ionary with the microscope shows them
that every drop of water teens with anr
NAL life and that a strict compliance with
their tenets is impossible. The Brahmln be.

thing is true of nearly all their popular pref
udjces; they may be dispelled and a way
prepared forthe reception OF religious truth
by the simplest philosophical inventions.
Christianity and Science may then go hand

Upasian Winds.-The New Orleans Adver-
tiser of the 2sth ult. says For the last five
days we have been suffering under the blast of
the Upasian winds. They bring death on
their wings, and blow from the north east
The sky is clear, blue, and hard as steel ; the
sun shines with a burning fire, but the winds
dry up the skin, pent up are the Keats Of the
body, and soon the way-farer feels as though
he had been beaten ; his eyes become inflamed,
and a general lassitude pervades the whole
system, accompanied by loss of appetite and
indisp osi.ion to action. These Upasian winds
are the forerunners of epidemic disease. They
prepare the way, and if they are not shortly
driven back by the south winds, the Pesiilence
