The above resolution adopted by the locofoco
Convention at Montpelier, June IL, lS4l-at which
wo arc told there were five hundred ofthe leading
Vermont locofocos in attendance. II comes then
by aulhority-it is the avowed doctrine of the loco
foco party-the doctrine of Nathan Smihe-"LEI
INDUSTRY TAKE CARE OF ITSELF The
same doctrine has been avowed by the same party
in Maine, New Hampshire and South Carolina II
is now proclaimed from North TO South, from East
10 West, by the locofocos' What say the Industri-
Gus citizens of Vermontt to such doctrine! Whal
say ye men with your focks upon Thousand hills'
Do you not want any projections? What say the
abore,s whose day wages depend upon the prosper
ity of those around them? Shut out as our pro
ducts are from other Nations by Tariff, shall we
open our doors to the whole world and receive
their goods free, and support our government by g
direct tax in gold and silver!

"a FREE PEOPLE NEED NO PPRoTEC-

At the Great Fanny Wright Locofoco meeting in
New York it
"Resoioed, That we protest against Protective
Tariff, because free people need no other protec.
ton than 10 be let alone"
England don't say so-France don't say so-no
foreign nation says so--al ask duties ON American
products, but we need protection resolve the
Van Buren, party in New York. "Lct industry reg
uaie itse," respond the leaders of the same purity
in Vermont. Such doctrine will do we'll for the
foreign population of ~ York, led on by their ora
tor Major Davezac--but for agricultural Vermont
il is abominable:
The Log Cabin well remarks as follows in re.
gard to this sentiment.
A"free people need other protection than to
be let alone" Well, gentlemen, suppose other ma
tons will not tlet us alone'-what then? To pu,
the case in your eye--Suppose AIgers or Moroc-
co insist on capturing every American vessel their
cruisers can overhaul: the merchants send up a
prayer TO Congress for protection. "Nonsense 2 in
terposes Messrs. Varian, Vanderpool and Harry
Gilbert; "you don't know what ails you. all The

In the Senate, the resolution of Mr. Clay'oi GA
calling the President for list ofremovais &c,
in the Land Office, was debated beyond inc morn
ing hour, without reaching decision.
The Land Di stu buiion Bill was then taken up.
An amendment reserving TO Mississippi two per
cent of the sales on her borders, TO be applied TO
the construction of abroad, was adopted A like
amendment in favor of A labama rejected. A
proviso offered by Mr. Calhoun that nothing in the
bill should be con structed into debt to the States,
or prevent repeal Of the act whenever Congress
should see fit, was rejected also was PROPOSE
ton to include the Territories as we'll the States

In the House resolutions were passed relative to
tho duties foreign coal; and calling for informa-
ton as to the and expenses of the Seminole
War
The bill for the repeal of the SubTreasury was
taken up, and debated, in which Messrs. Hunt and
Merwether supported and Messrs. Pickens and
Steenrod opposed it, the Hill went through the
forms of Legislation, and passed. yeas 1874,
nays 81. Several attempts were mado 10 adjourn,
and questions of order were raised, but all to no

ORLEANS COUNTY CONVENTION.

We learn 1--WE have not seen the proceedings)
that there was goodly number of the sterling
Wings of Orleans County at the Convention at
Irasburgh, and that good spirit was manifested.
IRA Fl. ALLEN, of Irasburgh, was nominated for
Senator for the County-a nomination which, we
belle We, meets hearty response from the democ-
racy Of that growing and prosperous County. Mr.
Allen is an experienced legislator and is familiar
with the ants Of the County.
Orleans is safe with every Wing voter out-and
safe only when all are out. Remember September
1889, We noble Wings of Orleans You slept then
and the locofo cos rode you rough shod-will
you suffer il again (?

CAN'T GO 1T. Mr. John w. Weeks, Of Sails
bury, Addison County, Vermont, who was appoint
ed Committee man by the locofocos, at their late
meeting, comes out in the Peoples Press and de-
clines going with that party longer, for the reason
that they have taken ground against the Farmers,
Mechanics and other ,oorhing.men Of Termont, by
going for free trade. He says he shall not oppose
the Wing measures till he secs something worthy
of northumberland hopes for and waits for good
results
We commend this consideration TO the oppo-
nents of the Wings. Are they not seeking the
good OF the country, by their measures? And why
should they be condemned before trial? The op
position comes from the political bankrupts who
have just been hurled from power by he people,
and why should the people follow them before try
ing the measures of the Wings?

ANOTHER HUMBUG ENDED.

The locofocos accused the Wings some time ago
of entertaining the design OF assuming the State
Debts. Their story went abroad, and it seems that
certain men who Ind loaned money TO some of the
western States seeing it, to the President to
inquire respecting the fact BY resolution OF
Congress the President has been called upon to as
certain if such letters had been received and what
sort of answers had been given. He replied that
several letters had been received and laid aside un
notwithstanding them too foolish to receive
notice Thus endeth another locofoco humbue

We learn that the injunction of secrecy has been
taken from the report Of the Ecclesiastical Council
who have had in consideration the case of Mr..
Pierpoint, which report was unanimously adopted
The report acquits Mr. PIerpoint on the charges OF
immortality and neglect of ministerial duty, blu,
regards the charge of want of Christian courtesy &
kindness, as proved, and censufes the pastor for
this want. 1t does not see cause to recommend
the dissolution ofthe connection between Mr. p. &

staoled them, without changing their food and

that MS cows now gave just double the milk

We hope we may be allowed, with due refe-
renee to dignity" to say, that our friend of the
Richmond Enquirer, with regard to RESUMPTION
Zone OF his hobby's paper) is 'like the cat in
the adage' The Enquirer says
.'Our intelligent correspondent proposes the LIST
OF September, as the period of resumption. The
Lynchburg Virginian proposes the Ist of Octo-
Der. we should prefer, for our own part, the LIST
OF August, or even an earlier day if practicable.-
The sooner, certainly the better. But we must
have an eye to the state ofihe Exchanges between
virginia and the North; and by one of the days
specified, it is presumed the next harvest of
wheat, and the present crop of Tobacco, NAV be
brought to market, and come into rcquisition, and
furnish available funds for the resumption ofpav-
ments and the solid support of our Bank credit.
IL Is bettefto wait short time to allow these In
situations the means of maintaining their specie
payments, when they commence-rather than
precipitately begin the resumption, and then be
compelled to close their vaults again.
We had thought all along that the ENQUIRER
was for ''instant, immediate resumption.'' "No
delay!' The 'infamous banks % &c. &c. Be.
but now, as far off as the Ist of next August ia
named! Is it possible! Will the Eno,lrer per-
NIT its thunder TO sumber all the winter. and not
be heard again till the dogs days! Are the pc
remptory commands of the Enquirer to he now

The incessant rains in Great Britain and Ire
land during the month of October had been pro-
ductlve OF serious injury to the crops of grain and
potatoes. The Leeds Mercury says on this sub
ject-
Every week of the present month has made the
winding up OF the harvest and the prospects of
the country more untavorable and gloomy. The
corn crops, in of the northern and lilly dis
tricts, have been quite ruined; and owing to the
excessive quantity of rain, the potatoes, in many
parts of England and Ireland, have rotted in the
ground, so as very seriously to diminish the guam
tlty OF food for the people, The price of corn is,
consequently, on the advance, and the ports
would soon be open again for the admission of
corn at the lowest duiy.if it were not that the
bad quality Of much Of the new wheat keeps
down the averages. Trade continues to be in a
wretchedy depressed state, both in Yorkshire
and Lancashire: and there is the prospect of
winter of the most severe suffering, if not of ter
ror. There have recently been many ncendiary
fires in the agricultural districts; by what parties
they are committed is yet unknown; but it is
certain that such fires occur in times Of distress,
however criminal and infatuated are the ncendi-
aries.

DEVOTED WOMAN

The mate of the schooner Crusader, Gan ac-
count OF the wreck of which vessel on Souam
BAR par we published few days snce,) says the
nioucester Telegraph, sustained in his arms, in
the rigging, his wife until she perished-a period
OF eight or ten hours. She frequently urged her
husband to let her drop into the ocean, as, she
sad she was satGed both could not survive, sit
uated as they were and it were better for him not
to risk his own life in endravor to save hers.
devoted and self sacrificing woman, who will
not weep for thy fate, or render an honorable fri
butte to him who to the last sustained and en-
couraged you !-Souhern Patriot.

President Tyler, at the late session Of the Grim
inal Court at Washington, requested the District
Attorney to enter no!ie prosequi in the case of
tho prosecution against the individuals indicted
for breach Of the Peace, at or near the Presi-
dents house, in the month Of August last, on the
night following the first veto, which was accord
ingly done. In his letter tho President saws
alt was one of these outbreaks Of popular feel
ing incident, in some degree, to our form of gov
eminent, and entirely evanescent and harmless in
its character. My confidence in the good sense
and becoming feeling of the People Of the Dis
trict, leads me to believe that there will be no
danger of similar occurrence in future, and that
therefore, those who have been betrayed into a
'ho"ghtless proceeding will not be likely to re-
