tEj-Our ncighbor of the Burlington Free Press
was liue netlIed at whit he terms, our Inter.
ference between Mr.. Young aud his constituents"
and has made reply, denying any intention of
condenning MIR. Young without hearing.
Having among our readers uoi few of the i'm
mediate constituents Of Mr.. Young, we deemed
interference" in this not only right, but re-
quired by tie duty which we owed to them. We
wrote under the impression that The Free Press
had condemned MIR. Young and # mistaken, as
bound from the +. P's. denial to presume, we are
glad OF it. Most sincerely do we hope That other
readers of the Free Press have not fallen into the
same mistake.
The Free Press pretty sharply condemns us
VhfercnlIaIy, at amy rate for an aledsed incon-
siseDcy. We have said that the bankrupt bill
was carried by the votes OF the ocos en- masSe, aud
characterised them as iaccus and again we have
said that we were unwilling to condemn the vote
OF any man Oh his subject. Well when we "put
that and that together" it really looks quite laugh
able at first blush hut let us sny that we did not
condemn the uoies oithe ocofoco members ST. ict-
~ speaking: by the unnniny which was oxhib-
tied by them, while the Wing pnrly was divided,
we were forced to believe that their votes were
given without reference 10 the merits of the bill,
hut rather in Iactious spirit and for party end !;
and II was that spirit and motive which VIC did ,
and now do, utterly condemn. From this, how
ever the Free Press aIledges an implied "c con-
domination" of Mr.. Young, OH our part! This
won't DO the inference cannot possibly be force 4.
The very fact that Mr.. Young voted against the
majority of his own party, is the strongest proof
that he acted from any thing but factious or party
motives.
The FREQ Press in ore breath concus with us
in condemnng the locos and straitway urges, in
strong language, an implied condemnation (by us J
OF Mr.. Young, because he voted with them We
submit whether the Free Press can NATHAN its
position against us, without most emphalically
condelnning" DR. Young ITSELF 1t must with =
draw one of two things-its own disclaimer as 10
condemniDg Mr. Young, or the inference which,
it endeavors TO lasten upon us.
Finally, our neighbor protests that he does not
think Mr.. Young green enough" to have voted
for the repeal with the expectation of The passage
of n new bankrupt act. We have not alledged
that this was his position, having only suggested
that it might have been. 1t strikes us to he a good
position naugre the contempt OF the Free Press.
If bankrupt law is half as necessary and popu.
lar as ii is said to be, the people would shortly find
means to force il through Congress

COUNTY CONVENTION.
'-shall the winter Of our discomfort
Re mnde Cloiious SUMMER

The following are tho Resolutions adopted by
the county Anli-slavery convention held in this
place on the 9th inst.
l. Resolved, That we of the North have right
to demand the abolition Of southern slavery, on
the very ground On which the South demands our
silence in regard to slavery OF the duty of
nou-interlerence with the rights Of olhers-iuas-
much us slavery interferes with us continually,
and cannot exist without embittering our enjoy
ments nluriug our pecuniary interests, invading
our rights involving us in the common disgrace OF
the nation, aud putting our lives in peril.
2. Resolved, That If law, as lis learned sages
assert, is the perfection of reason; = its dwelling
place, "the bosom of God " lis object, the prolec-
lion of rights and the redress Of wrongs il SHE
law of nature, dictated by God himself, is superb
or in obligation to any other binding over all the
globe in all countries and at all times" and 4" no
human laws are Of any validity il contrary TO
this !" il such human laws as are valid derive all
their force and all their authority from this origin
al ; if no human legislature has power to abridge
or destroy those rights which God and nature
have established such as life and liberty y il all
men are endowed by their Creator with these in
alienahe rights, and to secure them governments
are instituted among men, deriving their just pow
er from The consent OF the governed; then slave
ry, wherever 1t exists, is an UNLAWFUL INsTITU-
TIoN, inasmuch us no government or legislature
can make any law for the reduction OF a man TO
slavery which he is legally bound TO obey, or en-
powerlng man TO be a STAKEHOLDER, which he has
a legal right to enforce
3. Resoiped, therefore, That every stakeholder,
every legislator who attempts to sustain slavery by

THE TARIFF WAR

Has already been commenced in the Senate, and,
os was to be expected the locofoco lenders BEGIN
10 show their humid From them-nnd we fear
from the locofoco party generalIy--the friends of
American Industry have nothing TO hope. Some
are welded to the phantoms of free trade advo-
cates,-others are committed to their former Jack
son notions of "judcious tariff" the sad effects
of which the country is now reaping-and others
still are inclined TO go with their party wherever
il goes In Ohio, we notice that the locofoco le-
gisature has rejected resolutions in favor of pro-
lection TO agriculture, which were presented and
supported by the Wings; and in our own state,
we find the locofoco papers (see Patriot of Feb.
and H. hiding under the doctrine of incidental
protection" which they aledge was the doctrine
OF the resolutions of our last legislature. We
shall show them one Of these days that The broad
republican-yea, JefTersonian, Madsoniun, and
Monroevian --dpclrine Of Pcfecfion was couan-
ed in these resolutions. IN he mean time let our
locofoco friends stick to their text, if they choose
AS matter of party policy, We ure glad to sec
them thus demonstrating that all their prcdiltc-
lions are Anti TurG, Ami. Republican md Anti
American.

Correspondence Of the NJ Y. Tribune.
Wednesday, Feb 2.
In the Senate, Mr. Woodbridge presented a
petition of citizens of Pittsburgh, Pa for the pas
sage of the Excheqner Bill particularly retaining
the provisions relating 10 exchanges.
The resolution of Mr. Clay ameudatory of the
Constitution, was taken up, Mr. Buchanan spoke
at length in reply TO Mr.. Clay and in defence of
the veto power, as a conservative ower, to pre-
vent impure and hasty agitation, to guard the mi
noriiy, and not so liable TO abuse as maintained by
many, in proof of which he noticed the fact that
out OF the six or seven thousand laws passed since
the organization Of our Government, but about
twelve had been vetoed of which four were
bank bills, six for internal improvements and one
for Distribution.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
In the House, Mr., Everett gave notice that he
should call up tho Apporornent Bill on Tues
dny next.
The unfinished business, on resolutions to CEN
sure Mr. Adams, was taken up.
Mr.. Adams then offered the resolutions for in.
formation from the Departments of which he had
previously given notice TO the reception OF which
objections being made, Mr.. Adams commended that
the information was absolutely necessary TO his
defence. The first resolution calling on The Pre-
sident, if not incompatible with the public inter-
est, for copies OF the correspondence between the
Department of Stnte and The Minister of Great
Britain; also of the correspondence between the
Governor of South Carolina and The late William
Johnson Judge OF the Supreme Court of the U.
States, relating TO an act oil the Legislature of
South Carolina, directing the imprisonment Of
colored persons arriving from abroad at the ports
Of that State also for the act or acts themselves,
and any opinion by The said Judge Johnson of
the unconsItutonality thereof, was read
Mr. Gilner moved TO lay this resolution on the
table.
Mr. Jones of Md. moved to lay the whole sub
ect on the table.
After some conversation, in which Mr.. Adams
expressed his desire to proceed, and called ON
every friend Of the right Of habeas corpus oftri-
al by jury and of the right of petition TO abstain
henceforth from any vote Of laying on the table
or poslponement of the subject or any but faye"

MR. EDTroR,-On the I'd Of this month, among
o!her OF our citizens. attended an examination
of the Grammar School ia this village. under the
instruction OF MIR. Calvin Pease, Principal, and
Mr.. j. 3 ID. Taylor, Assistant. The recitatons of
ihe pupls ~ their various departments were high
y credltable TO them and 10 the Institution.
The Glasses in Geography, Arithmalic, Alge.
bra, Astronomy, Philosophy, and Chemistry, &c.
quilted themselves well, and showed most clearly,
that they understood the principles Of their stud
les.
The class of young ladies in Horace, happily
confirmed the truth, that the female mind is ade-
quate to the comprehension of classical beauty
Tor they read the epsIle of that writer with great
readiness and propriety.
The declamations of the young men were good,
and the selections chaste and several OF them en-
celent in their rhetoric.
IL seems to me the citizens of Montpelier and
vicinity would find their money well invested
were they to build a new and more commodious
edihce Tor this institution - as there appears TO be
no greater obstacle TO an increase of The number
OF us pupils than the want of more spacious
building. AN OBSERVER

THE TARIEE

The object of this number is to show the ad.
mission of goods, free of duty, from those nations
who refuse to receive our productions generally,
has produced most of the embarrassment under
which the country now labOrs.
By the official return from the Comptroller ofthe
Treasury to the Senate, tappears that, in the year
ending the first of Sept lS4l, S64,765,440 value
was imported free of duty, and $685. 1884 in val
paid duy-the law, enacted AT the extra session,
imposing duty of 90 per cent. on goods hereto
fore Free not having had time TO 60 into operation.
This represents the ratio of the importation Of free
and dutable goods since the compromise law of
1888. BY the compromise law, all silks from Eu.
rope, linens, stuff goods, and many other articles,
10 great amount were TO be admitted free of du-
~. BY the same law, the duties were to be redu-
ced bienniay, on the residue. The effect of the
introduction of one half OF the Foreign nerchan-
die free OF duty, and gradual reduction OF duties
the other half has been TO increase the imports
very much over the exports In the six years
following the compromise law, it appears by the
return to the Senate, that the imports exceeded
the exports by $205, 1885 695-S34 10000 each
year. This statement is from our own official
documents The question will be asked, how
was this immense balance paid. The answer is,
il was paid by the Stale bonds, railroad stocks and
bank stocks. Most OF these have become worth
less or unsaleable. Many ofthem received as col
lateral security, have been sent home to bring
what they will bring. This is the immediate
cause of the deep embarrassment which pervades
every part ofthe country. 1t causes constant drain
of our coin, to pay either The interest on those
stocks, or the principal Of those returned.-What
is the remedy for these difficulties? The answer
is, such duty or such prohblory laws, as will
prevent an influx of foreign merchandise from
those nations that prohibitsthe admission of our
products, particularly those of the Middle and
New England States The nation is now in a
false position. BY the operation of the Revenue
laws, the importation of foreign merchandise has
been encouraged and stimulated, without the
means ofpuyment. How can an excess of "a, $40,
600, for six successive years, of the imports over
exports be paid, without ruinous sacrifices2 II
our -four, our Tobacco our ashes, our timber, md
other products were admitted, this immense ex-
cess of two hundred and five millions might be
paid. AS we are now situated, it must be paid in
stocks deprecated in value. or in coin.-.AlLas

take it back, mud sent another message re-

result is that the Wing minority have compelled
the message TO be inserted at full length on the

rules be recorded What adds TO the disgrace OF

FACTS IN REGARD TO THE TARIFF.


l was in business in this city when a duty of
six cents per square yard was laid on manufacture
ed cottons beyond the Cape OF Good Hope. Those
then, as now, who advocated Free Trade, said
our manufacturers would charge just what they
pleased for domestic musns, and the Poor would
be obliged TO pay for them at extravagant prices.
twenty-five cents yard was the curren, retail
price then. Now we have an article made from
american cotton made in this country for eight
cents that will wear three times long as the In
dia co,tons Calicoes Of the most inferior kinds
brought 25 cents yard, and never sold for less
now we have as good made here sold for six
cents yard, and who is Jared that buys now al
Blk sents what used to bring 25 cents?

Ashes -SpOntaneOns Combustion. This seems
TO be no humbug. In Sillimans Journal for JAM
1912, we find articles from Professor o. P. Hub.
bard of Dartmouth College, and DR., John p
Plunmer, of Richmond Indiana in which four
instances of the spontaneous combustion of wood
nshes are gven-one under the immediate obser-
walton of Professor Hubbard, one of President
Lord, and two Of Dr. Plummer. In the case of
President Lord, a mass of ashes in his cellar,
which had been accumulatng for two years ION
the ground with brick walls on three Sides WIS
found in II state Of complete ignition, the fire per-
vading tho whole mass. We think there can be
no doubt that combustion will take place sponta-
neousy in ushes; certainly none, that by adding
hot ashes, or Goals, to ash heaps, however old one
may ignite the whole muss. This last is abund
anly proved Ivy President Lord. IqJsrenee-ihe
