CONSISTENCY OF JOHN TYLER.

The Richmond Wing has gathered up soma
of the opinions of Mr. Tyler in regard to the
Compromise Act and the dist button of the pub
lie land moneys. Some of these we copy. In
a speech Of Mr. Tyler in 1889, he said:
"The public lands not mentioned in the COM
promise bill nor could they hare been thought Of by
Congress The fact is, that the land bill at the
moment of the passage Of the compromise bill in the
Presidents pocket So far as Congress was con.
cerned the proceeds Of the sales had been disposed Of
by what only wanted the signature of the President
! to become law. HOW THEN CAN THE COM
PROMISE ACT BE MAIDEN ANY WAY DE-
PENDENT ON ANY DISPOSITION OF THE
PUBLIC LANDST
In 1910, Mr. Tyler sent letter to the Pitts.
burg Wings, in which was the following:
my opinions were fully expressed at ST, Class.
vile and at Steubenvltc At both places, in regard
10 the question what your opinions az 10 the Tart

TO these, the Richmond Wing in addit On
cites Mr. Tylers Message to Congress, on the
opening Of the extra session IN June, ls4l, n
which he repeats the same opinions. and urges

A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

To some il may at first blush seem strange that
high Tariff should reduce prices. Any one, however,
who examines the subject for moment will see that
such must be tho natural consequence, and for the
following among other reasons:
lst Ii encourages capitalists embark in the bust
ness with their money, thereby leading to compettion
among the manufacturers themselves, which Is sure
to lead to reduction of prices.
I'd. A high Tariff gives assurance to the manufsc-
turer OF steady and sure demand for his goods,
thereby enabling him to embark large sums IN the
improvement of his machinery and the extension oil
his business
Sd. The skill and ingenuity Of American operatives
are not cxcelled by any in the world, and in Soma
speciesof manufactures they actually excel oil others
| as in those Of hats, axes, &c.
4th. The facilities every where afforded for the os
adjustment Of manufactures on durable streams o.
water, cheap materials in most cases abundant sup
plies of the raw materalow price oil fuel and llgh
taxes
All ask in this matter from those who raise thu
cry that Protection increases prices is to bring Tor
| ward their proof We have never seen them DO |
! yet they always deal in vague generalities. wei
if Free Trade writer's will not do this, then we ash
those whom they attempt to deceive TO examine 10
themselves, and they will find that the pretence ha

POLAND.--MAJOR TOCHMAN.

Below will be found the resolutions which
want of space denied us the pleasure Of publish

At The close OF Major TocHMAss las, lecture on

THE STATE NOMINATIONS.

We laid before our readers last week the
proceedings of the Stale Convention which
re-nominated the State ticket of last year.
This nomination meets our hearty approval,
and we anticipated no other course on the
part of the Convention. The greatest har-
mony prevailed, and our assembled friends
gave the most cheering accounts Of the
activity and determination Of the Wings
throughout the state.
The desperate and vile minions of Radi-
caism have already commenced their false
and insidlous attacks upon Col. Paine, and
meauly seek by inuendo and implication to
give currency TO the despicable and ground
less ISLANDERS propagated agains, him las,
year. Repeated challenges were thrown to
these bush-fgh,ng towards to come ont, if
they had any thing to come on, Without
mum was the word. Ii better suited the
assassin-like temper of tie apoogists OF
traitors, to stab in the dark, leaving the per-
son attacked, no better defence than the hon
est Indignation which rose on every hand al
the base and underhand method resorted to
against him, by these INSCRIPTIONS hacks.
These coneenial appliances of Locofoco-
ism succeeded in raising small, dust, which,
combined with the general apathy Of lhe
Wings, prevented Col. Paine from being
elected by the people at the last election
Blu, the people have observed with what
high hopes this circumstance inspired the
arch enemy, and they are pretty generally
uniting in the determination not to permit
this triumph to last long enough to affect the
Government Of the State at all, or to MAKE
any change in the steady and even tenor OF
their affairs. Col. Paine will be elected BY
the people, and by this act they will a, once
vindicate him from the insinuated lies o
sneaks and towards. ard themselves from
the impua,ion Of having believed such le
on such authority.

THE SUMMIT LEVEL OF IMPUDENCE.

II is actually true, incredible as il may
seem, that some Of the reckless organs OF
Locofocoism are mingling the Rhode Island
question with the other pie-bald issues which
they seek to make with the Whigs-and
lauding the traitor Dorr with high flown Gu
logies, while every grade and species OF
falsehood 10 resorted to, in order to crente

Island are exercising atrocious cruel.ies upon
