while you will find upon one side almost the en-

HE Protective SYSTEM IS ESSEN
TALLY AND VIRTUALLY THE WIG
SYSTEM. 1t is a point upon which they MS
well, II not better, united than upon any other /;
while OPPOSITION TO THE SYSTEM Is
ONE OF TIE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARITY M Eastman
! Of NeW Hampshire.
From the Spirit OF the same date last mention.
ed, we clip the following beautiful extract from all
editorial which is perfectly in character with the
editor OF the paper. Speaking OF protective
tariff he says
1.-THE system that builds poor houses and fills
| them with paUpers. Tho very system that fills
cities with miserable vagabonds, starving mendi-
cahis, robbers and midnight assassns. Tue very
system that builds up distinctions between classes;
| gorges one with wealth ana leaves the other wal
| lowing in the ditch"
! During the month of February it was, that the
wings throughout the STATE ted on by the farm
ers the mechanics aud the labOring men OF the
State, held tariff meetings in almost every county,
Tor the purpose of awakening the people to their
true interest and taking measures to petition Con-
gress on the subject of proteChue tariff In the
midst OF the holding of these meetings, the editor
OF the Age sought to insult The lreencn of the
State by publishing in his paper the folio wing beau
uni etfuson, written probably in n it OF rage in
duced by reading the proceedings of sonu Of the
tariff meetings that had already been held in the
State.
In the Spirit Of the 25ih Feb. last, we fnl the
following:
1--WE aro glad TO see the Wing papers in this
state perssliug in their attempts foster arstoc-
racy at the expense of the laborers of the North
Their schemes which they call protection, are, as
every man with half nn eye can see, directly cal
lflH n
er, the old federal doctrine. The common peo-
pie, they think are just good enough to toll and
sweat for the protected nahob. Moi cent more
will the daily aborer get for his work, wlnle all
that he must buy will bo raised, in price, in pro-
portion as his task masters are protected
We have no comments to offer on the following
extract taken from the Spirit, lllh March last Our
leaders may make their own comments aud con-
tras the with the articles in favor of uroiec-
ton on WOOL &c. which appear in HAT paper
about these days. This one extract should of IT,
sell induce every honest man to withdraw from
The paper his support aul forever abandon lnr-
~ which thus fosters aud suStans paper thur so
ruthlessy stabs at northern Interests mud seeks TO
reduce our own labUrimg population TO u level with
the slaves OF The south. See how Ike demag0gue
he seeks to haiter and caiole the work ing men by
asking them TO believe that the Wings in striving
to protect them from the pauper labor OF Europe, |
are prompted Ivy n fiend-like malignity towards |
them, and wlo the better to crafty their Eaciou,
propensilies, take this method ~ hurry them on to |
ruin But to the extract
"LGborcrs OF Vermont Of the Norl--hear, we |
heseech you to hear, one moment These |
schemes OF protection, that IRE Matching on all |
hands are fer your uln !! They are schemes which |
Will rob yon OF your ALL, your LABOR They !
are schemes That tott compel yoH 10 ioOik for
than you gel notc, and pay double for all you buy.
Ihcy are schemes devised by men to iire up0n gour

upon yoW SOeat and That OF your children. You |
men of Vermont! who live by your daily labor, |
WHO PRODUCE NOTHING, The PRICE |

These sly and crafty creatures are getting up meet
lngs all over the State 10 petition Congress pass
laws to protect yea " lib the protection we have !

show their petitions to you and talk, aud wheedlc
and caloe you for your names to 20 along with |
theirs. Don't touch one Of their petitions! If yuu !
DO any thing about it, PETITION TIE OTHER |
WAY"
Yes, "petiton the other way" Such is he adj |
vice given by the Age to the ireemen Of Yer
mont. Petition for FREE TRADE aud II necessa.
ny consequence, DIRECT TAXATION. Let
this once he effected and what a condition of |
things should we have in Vermont, with prices on
oil articles of foreign imports abou, the same us
they now are tax galherers wonld be as thick MS
the locusts of Egypt, collecting from S4200 900 to
S45O,OO0, which Vermont would have to pay an
nually, as her share TO defrny The expenses OF the
General Government. FREEMGS OF VERMONT
what say ye to TO this?
Once more and we are done with the Age for
to-day. In That paper of 18th March last is pub
lished free trade speech OF John c. Calhoun
from which we extract the following:
sit is full time for the North aud more espec-
tally New England 10 pause and ponder. II they
would hear the voice of one who has ever WISHED
oil fl.,fI ia .xf.l a..
protective system woull be one o! the greatest ca.
lanites that could befa you. Whatever incidrn-
tai good could he derived from il, you have already
acquired. 1t would, if renewed, prove pure
unadulterated evil. The worry reverse is your true
policy"
"The very reverse Tree trade) is your true pol
lcy,' cries Mr. Calhoun, and the Age man echoes
the sentiment, muugre the ruin II would entail up
on New England interests
And now after these manifestations of the sAge'
Editor IN relation 10 n tariff, what kind OF faith or
confidence the freemeH OF Vermont pace III
lis recent professions. Do you not see in them the
miserable shifts Oft hypocritcal drnagogue, who
Is constantly stabbng your dearest interests ex-
cept ut such tlme0 when he would attempt to
wheedle you into the support Of the perncious
and destructive principles OF his party, 10y jesuit
cally affecting friendship for measure that he
at heart contemns.
FELLOW CITIZENS we call upon you one md
all 10 arise in your ma esly und overthrow at once
and efiectually these political luggers. Put no
confidence whatever in their recent professions of
friendship for your interest. OFFICE, OFFICE, is
with them The great end and aim of their exer-
tons; nor will they spare any means, however
wicked and hagitious, to accomplish their ends
Their emissaries are already The alert, like birds
oi VI omen Their screeehes are again heard upon
the breeze, and most desperate effort is making
TO drag Vermont from her high estate and link her
destiny with the free trade siaUeites of the SOUTH
We cannot, will not believe that you will remain
indifferent 10 your interest, aud quietly permit
the most unprincpled aud contemplate party that
ever cursed II free government 10 ride rough shod
over your interest and trample your dearest rights
