nPTbe Locofoco State Convention resolved tina,
Saltons,al s and Forwards Tariff Bills do not Of
fer sufficient protection 10 wool, and that they ia
vor the manufactures more than tho WOO grower
And these very men who voted for this resolve
know that there are not dozen of their party in
Congress who will vote for more than two-brds
as much prote elton wool is proposed by either
of these bills And as 10 the assertion that tho
manufactu is favored above tho wool grower, II
is in fact naked untruth and designed excite
prejudice against manufactures and cast odium Up
on the cause OF Protection. Mr. SIS Bill is more
favorable If any thing, TO the producer of wool
than to the manufacturer, and being nbout equal is
as it should be Would these suffer the factories
TO be crushed by foreign competition and leave the
producer to hunt whore they might for market
foi their wool
The kind Of protection, if any, which the loco
focos favor is, TO find fault with every thing the
Wings propose, and stick to and go with the free
trade and "British party" This is their position
in Vermont.
1t would have seemed quite proper in This Con-
vention to have passed resolutions calling upon thoir
party in Congress TO advocate and vote for Prolcc
ton instead of opposing, inch By inch, every effort
by the Wings TO secure Protective Tariff Why
did Mt they blaze away at their own party friends
in Congress from tho free States and affirm that
they wouldn't san ction their alliance with the
South in support Of that system of free trade which
Great Britain proposes for our adoption, aud which
has been sustained by them to this day ? This
would look as though they meant something-as
though they were IN earnest, and not aiming to
deceive those Of their party ,oho honestly the
friends Of protection soiM the belief that they arc
! seeking to protect american Industry.
We would not SANDER any honest man in Yer
mont by accusing him Of being so thick skulled as
| to be imposed upon by these fault finding and do.
| nothing, humbuggng protectionists.
Last year this same Convention resolved ''ro
LET INDUSTRY REGULATE ITsELF"-this year they
are little cautious, yet the manner IN which
| il is done shows that they mean about the same
| thing.
| A SWEET PRESENT. Mr. WIN. LOCKE, of Tyn.
don, has kindly presented us with three specimens
OF maple sugar of his cwu ufacture the present
season-and the sugar is not only sweet but beau
] tiui and the whtest and prettiest have ever
seen OF the product Of tho maple. Thank you, Mr.
Locke, for remembering the poor a0 4m
JAoKsoN's FINE. The proposition 10 refund Il
Gen jackson the $1,000 with interest, the amount
| he was fined at New Orleans, introduced 10 the
senate ny the iocos anu suPPo''eu Wy '"e'n VII uie
Gnal vote, has been rejected. If we recoilect The
story Alright Gen. Jackson did not pay single
cent of this fine; it was paid by subscription, the
ladies' paying good share OF il. If refunded the
donors, in justice, should receive it. Gen j. has
done much public service, but has SO managed thai
! he is somewhat wealthy.
Late accounts speak Of the General as in very
precarious state of health
