only ONE exception, voted wih the Southern
anti Tariff Shareholders in taror Of Mr..
Rhetfs motion and against the principle ct
protection. The Tory members from New
York. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and cUcry
other free State in the Union, excepting
Pennsylvania, roted wih equal undnimity,
on the same side of the question. On the
other hand, the Northern Wings arrayed
themselves unanimously on the opposite side
in solid phalanx, shoulder to shoulder and
shield TO shield. The result was tina, RhcHS
motion was defeated by very small ma or-
ity. When the vote was announced, the
Washington Globe, the Richmond Enquirer,
the New York Evening Post and the Albany
Argus, all leading Tory papers, howled
forth their lamentations in most plaintive
tones, denounced the Northern Wings in
unmeasurcd terms, and laudcd to the skies
the "Northern Democracy" for the zeal and
unanimity with which they came to the
rescue of the Southern Chivalry."
And pray what was the language Of the
Tory press of this State when this vote was
proclaimed and these facts spread before the
People? Did they rebuke those Tory Re-
representatives. from the North who had thus
proved recreant to the interests of their con-
sttuen,s : Was there any thing of reproof,or
remonstrance, or even of admonition in
the columns Of the Republican, or the
Sentinel, or the North Star, or the Pat
riot, or the Spirit of the Age1 Not a
word, not whisper, not breath of disap-
probation or complaint. The Tory press
was muzzled, its voice was mute-or clam
orous only to denounce the friends of pro-
tectve Tariff as enemies and traitors to their
country. Gu what evidence then, does the
Republican base the claim Of the Tories in
this State, to be regarded as friends of a
protective Tariff? Is it on the fact that
they are devoting all their power, and their
acknowledged talents to sustain a party,
which, in every movement it has made,
has manifested the most deadly hostility
to the protective system, or is il on
the fact that Rhen and P,ckens and CAL
houn control the party, with such Convenient
drill sergeants a Wright and Woodbury. and
Atherton for their loving allies! If the
Republican expects to gain much credit for
sincerity in its professions of friendship for
the protective system it must abandon such
political guides as these and enlist under
different colors.
Perhaps, however, the Republican vii
found the claim of its political brethren tc
be regarded as Tariff men upon the follow
ing extract from the Spirit of the Age, the
most frank and Jealous Tory paper in the
State.

This exr act has aluson to the vote on the Tart

1t is little strange that the farmers will not un
derstand this matter. Suppose, to make the sublec
plain, they sell their wool his year for forty cent
per pound and buy their broadclon for one do lar
yard The manufacturers get up tariff of protection
on foreign broalcoths not to protect themselves bu
the farmers; year he sells his wool for sixty
