We believe it has already been stated in
this paper, that Mr.. Tyler has removed
the Postmaster at Cooper's Town, New
York-simply because he was suspected
Of being friendly 10 Mr.. Clay, and has ap.
pointed a Loco, who owes his chief dis.
tncton to the fact, that in 1910. he hung
Gen. Harrison in effigy. We find in the
Albany Journal an account of the pro.
ceedings of a meeting at Cooper's Town
embracing two-thirds Of the people,
held TO express their detestation Of this
tyrannica prescription. 1t appears that
Mr.. Wicklife wrote nm insidious letter to
the Wing editor at Cooper's Town, just
before the removal took place, with a
view 10 pursuade him TO cooperate in the
scheme ofproscrip tion-in which the wor-
thy p. NJ. General was fooled. 1t also
appears that regular system of espion-
age is about to be established on all the
Post Offices and if any Postmaster shall
be heard to express n sentiment, which
may be construed (avorably TO Mr.. Clay,
he is to walk Rich. Wing.

These fifty families are to be succeeded

families shall have been settled on the

Free Trade.

Every week the hard cider papers are shouting
the locos are in favor of free lrade-frce trade
and direct taxation. How UNANIMOUSLY false is
this! We publish some extracts from the speech
ofMr Davis. DEM from New York, in Congress,
which may found in another column showing the
alsitv of these wing charges. Furher-how
much do you hear about the . free trade doctrines
of New Hampshire call the Locolocos in
N. Hampshire are in favor ofthe doctrines of free
trade and direc, taxation" See how false is, all
this too.
Hon. Edmund Burke, one. the Representatives
from New Hampshire in speech made in the

whatever his pirate opinion may be and for that
he is alone responsble-"l WOULD NOT

Tax on Salt.

On the 18th, in the Senate, Mr. Allcn of Ohio,
(,lenocrat,) moved TO strike out the duty on salt
and place it among the free articles, upon the
ground that il is an article used in greater or less
quantities, by every family. The duty is now 20
per cent; the new bill proposes to raise it so that
the duty on Turks Island salt will amount 10 about
100 PER CENT! Vermont produces no salt,
and hence this duty is tax upon her without any
equivalent whalevcr--an enormous tax, for she
consumes an immense quantity on her pork, beef,

We have the qualification TO announce to our
readers this week. that the cause of Reform is
everywhere triumphant The August elections
have resulted with a single exception, Kentucky,
in the complete overthrow Of hard cider and the
triumph Of democracy and Reform.
In North CarOlina-a State that went for hard
cider in 1910 we have carried both branches of the
Legislature, which secures us L. S. Senator, in
place of an anti-Tarill wing. There is yet some
doubt obout the Governor.
In Indiana, another State that wen, for hard CT
der we have also carried both branches of the
Legislature, which secures us another L. S. SEN
ator in place Of Il wing.
Illinois and alabama we have swept comp lete-
ly-leaving only here and there poor iorlorn
wing swearing Justify against such distribution and
as specimen Of cider-emplings,
Ford, the democratic candidate for Gov. in H.
linois is elected by an overwhelming ma jority.
Smith of Indiana, and Graham of North Carolina,
both wings, will have leave to stay at home hcrear
