MORE REASONS FOR THE vEro.

1t is pretended in some quarters that John Ty-
Ter would have signed the Tariff were it not for
the land question. Look through his message
does he say that' See what lie says of proec-
tlon-does he hint at any thing more than mere
incidental protection, and that invariably coupled
with manufactures alone 2 But infesences are un-
necessary. The fact u.s. that John yer, like Cal
houn and Woodbury. and the rest of the locofo-
cos was opposed to that bill because il is loo good
for proteciion-imposes TOO HIGH DUTIES
We quote from his official organ, the Madisonian,
which also is ditto to the Globe" in politicsgen-
orally. At this date the Tariff was IN the Presi-
dents hnnds--" on the cooling. board"
From The MaaiSonian Of Aug. 6.
"That Protection is the main object of The bill
which has been discussed in the Senate, there can
be no doubt.--A rerenue bill mot such Il bill Of
abonlnallons,' as Mr.. Calhoun termed the one now
Oh the cooling boardl will afford all the protec-
tlon--lncldentay, accidentally, or inevitably
that the intelligent manufacturer dcsircs-lf
tins Wing Congress could fix this bill of abomi-
nations on the people this year, it would be torn
to pieces The next when The Republicans t!) will
be in power. Even now we have republican
President ~ who will not shrink from his duty"
Now hear this organ after the Veto:
i"c 'eSucuce GuneS levlei on lie most I'M
porlant articles IN the bill Just vetoed, would have
brought down the revenue to II milIions."--
From the most accurate calculations that can be
made at the Treasury Department, it appears that
the big Tariff BILL if it had become law, would
not hive yielded revenue exceeding IL millions
The reason assigned is that the HEAVY DUTIES
OH many of The most productive articles, uouid
haue excluded them from The market."- .Nadisonan,
.4ug. ID.
Let it be understood, then, that 1'y Ter and the
locolocos in Congress concurred in opposing this
bill, because it was PROTECTIVE. Congress,
then, must abandon Protection as well us the Pub
hc Lands or the tyrant and his ocofoco allies will
prevent protection, by the veto power What say
the people of Vermont? Give the verdict which
your Republican fathers would have given to such
insoent demands from the palace.

NOW WE'LL CATCH ,EN.

At the Locofoco Convention at DanviIle, reso-
lutiOns were passed proIessedly friendly to Pro.
tection. Some of these same men passed reso-
luton in State Convention last year, TO LET IN
DUsTRY REGULATE ITSELF but n portion of their
party were getting to DC Whiggsh or rather he.
coming convinced by Wing arguments that Pro-
lection was necessary for the salvation of the
Country, and unless "hoodwinked" would vote
with the Wings, the Lo'ofoco leaders gat some
one TO introduce Wing resolution, which The
Committee did not see fit to endorse, aud il WIS
published with the proceedings. They became
frightened at the tendency they found in their par
~ to 90 with the Wings, aud so they set this trap
to catch such as "caut smell rat" Any one
must he stupid indeed to be caught in this way.
Look at thar party in Congress aud all the Loco
loco Legislatures dead against Pfolecnon-and
yet certain leaders in this stale would make the
Tariff men Of their party believe thNt the LccJto-
co party were There are some that see tn ough

THE RHODE ISLAND CASE,

Is still ridden as a hobby by The Patriot while
it is perfectly evident that the people of Rhode ISL

aud order, how can any body justify that attempt
10 do violence to the popular will, by rapno and
murder? We are not mistaken in our facts. On
the l2th inst. q letter from Gov. Dorr himself was
produced in evidence on one OF The tfiaiS in Rhode
Island, an abstract Of which has been published.
We quote as follows:
at was a very painful duty for him TO dismiss

The New York Journal OF Commerce fully
sustains us in our position that the clap-irap a

the Wings TO save time and Tie bill: still the loco

Uj- Without protective tariff we shall have
free trade. Free frdde--hat sounds well, but
what will be the consequence? Surely, an unm-
tied importation of foreign goods-much beyond
what we have witnessed and consequently the bal
ance OF trade against us, and that balance greatly
increased from former years.-Our debt to British
merchants will be increased and how we to
pay t,-how but in gold and silver? No other

make us tributaries TO British wealth. Shall we
go with the party claiming to be democratic into
these measures, calculated as they to exat a
foreign nation and distress our own, or shall we,
with becoming respect for our country, cherish
our own institutions and protect native industry

A STRONG FXECUTIVE

Parties are reversed or names have been chang
ed. In olden times it was the ultra federal party
which went for executive power: in these it is
the selfstyled Democrats Recall TO mind the
Vetoes of the last twelve years, and note the sub
Jects on which that power has been exercised
the Currency, The Land Bill, and The Tariff OF
all questions, these are most important: every
one has touched the business and interests of the
people us with fire, and spread universal ruin in
their train. And al-yes, nll-has been the fruit
of the ONE MAN POWER, approved and sus.
'nined by party which has gathered its strength
and perpetIaled its enormilies under the name of
Democracy! Away with such an abuse of terms
let iOcofoco stand as the sole and only nome of the
party which jusfes tyrant in lramping upon
he rights OF Congress and the interests Of the
people.
We'll does the Boston Atlas present the true
point of Ile late Veto, thus:-
"The only real and plain question cannot be

THE VETO MESSAGE.

The Wings in Congress have succeeded in drawing
another veto message from the President, which will
be found in this days paper So far, complete sue
cess has crowned the efforts of the Wings, and
should they now adjourn without passing bill which
the President can approve, they will have accom-
plished their whole scheme. While protesting to be
ultra tariff, they will have prevented the imposition
of duties above 90 per cent while protesting opposi-
ton to the compromise bill, they will have so man
aged that that bill shall continue in force-whe pre-
tending to be the friends of the manufacturer, and
anxious to give him protection against foreign COM
petition, they will have proved themselves to be his
greatest enemies. They make the Tariff question
hang, not on its merits but the distribution of
the public lands. The object with them is not the
benefit of the manufacturer farmer, but the plum
der of the public domain. 1t is not to secure home
market for the productions Of our manufactures but
to divide the proceeds of the public lands and unless
they can carry this measure, they determined to
prevent the passage of tariff. In this course the
Wings in Congress appear to be supported by the
Wing newspapers throughout the country, and we
presume the result will be that no tariff will be pass
ed until the people elect a new Congress. The re-
suit of this Wing Legislation in Congress will exhibit
to the people the hollowhearted reachery Of Wing
gerry Claiming to be the genuine tariff men, they
prevent the passage of tariff bill. Claiming to be
the exclusive friends of tariff their acts show them
to be its greatest enemies

ceedings of numerous meetings held in various
sections, approving the measures proposed by

meetings, soon to take place.
