"a Iocofoco from great agricultural State, viz:
Pennsylvania moved to strike our per csnt.duy
on all wool costing less than ceuts per pound +,
and nsurt per cent. He said there were many
manufacturers OF coarse wool in his district, who
would be seriously injur ed by the proposed duty
Heretofore, woods under cents had been imported
free, and the articles manufactured Of the wool
were liable to duty of So per cent. Now the
wool costing between cents and GEMS a pound
would be 80 per cent, and the articles manufac
turad out of il be subject to but 40 per cent-ths
thus giving home protection of but 10 per cent,
and making, compared with former laws, differ
ence against the manufacturers of coarse wool of
40 per cent. This truly, strange way Of

the manner in which the state shall be districted
for the choice of Representatives, will determine
whether the voice of Vermont shall he still heard,
and her weight be still felt in the councils of the
nation, whether both shall be nautralizad by
the success of party whose principles are those
deadly hostile to every measure which you believe

IL is past all doubt, that The advocates of the WING
principles of protection to domestic industry and

But let neglect his own duty, IN reliance up
