AS TO BE PROnIBITORY IN ITS CHAR.
ACTER ;,

Such was the excuse of the Post, appended to
the ayes and noes on this bill such the locoloco
presses in Vermont know to be the fact-and
yet they spread their extras all over the state, FL
lea win assertions that their party in Congress is
for protection and the Uhigs against IT, Just so a.
bomnable are their lies Just so bare faced is the
deception which they wlltully practice.
People of Vermont-you who stand on the true
democratic platform, in favor of Protection 10 A.
meriran Interests against foreign aggression: be-
hold the iailhfnness, the integrity, The sacrifices
and the patriotism Of the Wings in Congress be-
hold the reckessness and the lreacIery OF the To-.
coiocos of New England and render your YER
dict like freemen.

Beware !

Beware Of divisions among yourselves. The
Iocofoco leaders stir them up wherever they can
and lie il particularly nored, that they sure TO
get them up among Wings in The close toDnS.-
Wherever they can draw of few Wings by any
means in such towns they will do it. They make
tool of The third party IN that business, WHEREBY
or they can. This in Whig towns the locos know
only hurms the Wings, aud thus helps locofocoism
so they encourage it. Do you ever hear OF the
locofoco leaders stirring up the third party in
strong loco oco topns? Never. They only use it
TO foil The Whigs.

The Bill is Saved =!

The exact anal ysis of the vote is ms follows:
.qyes-l05; sc Wings 10 locos. OF the locos,
9 were from Pennsylvania, 9 from N. Y, from
Massachusetts.
.Noes-l03; II locos, 80 Wings (includng 3
doubtful) OF the 80 Wigs II from the South
were opposed to all protection, and 81 opposed to
giving up The distribution. Ofthe 81, there were
from Virginia g. North Carolina 3, Tennessee 4,
New Jersey 5, Indiana 2, Ohio l, New York 2,
Massachusetts !.
Thus it will be seed that only sir Wings from
the free states voted against the BILL while only 10
of the Iocos voted for it, including but one from
New England !!
And why did the locofocos of New England
oppose this bill u why did locofocoisln and Null
LITIGATION clap their hands for joy" when they
supposed the bill lost on test vote? Read
the answer from the ocoioco organ in New Eng
iand-from The Boston Morning Post:
