States in ls40, all but one nre Locoioco now,
while the Locoloco vote is absolutely 1928 less
now than in 1910. These elections, then, afford
no evidence Of changes among the people they
show only that the Locoioco party have beaten
the Wings by bringing OH, their strength, aud that
the Wings have suffered the elections to 60 against

Messrs. Editors;-I perceive in the Vermont
Patriot Of the 10Th inst. that the report Of the select
committee on the resolution of the Senate, con-
demnng the doctrine Of reputation as practised
in some States, was opposed by MIR. Villas, by Of
fering an amendment approving of showing faith
in this respect by works, "asserting that Massn-
chuselts had ropudiaed reputation, and yet re-
fused 10 pay her o,on Stale deLL" This declaration
appears 10 me surprising, because | had always
supposed Massachusetts had neper falered in pay
ing her State debs. What does this mean Can
you give any explanation? ~
We had not seen the statement said to have
hcen made by MIR. Wins, in the Vermont Legisa-
lure, until mentioned Ivy our correspondent in the
foregoing communicaton-bu HE assertion that
Massachusetts has refused 10 pay her olUn Scte
debt, any part of it, either principal or interest,
is entirely unlouuded and utterly false.

STARTING CHILDREN IN THE
WORLD.
WORLD.

The following extract from The works
of living writer, is replets with sound
philosophy and coramen sense. 1t is well
worth the attention of parents:
Many and unwise parent labors hard and
lives sparingly enough to give his children
a start in the world as it is called. Setting
young nan afoa. with money left him by
his relatives, is like tying bladders under
the arms Of ono who cannot swim; ten
chances TO one he will lose his bladders
and go 10 the bottom. Teach him to swim
and he will never need the bladders. Give
your child sound education, and you
have done enough for him. See to it that
his morals are pure, his mind cultivated
and his whole nature made subservient TO
the laws which govern man and you
have given what will be of more value than
the wealth of the Indies. You have given
him start which no misfortune can de.
prive him Of. The earlier you teach him
to depend npon his own resources the bet-
ter.

Near the iron mountains in Missouri,
there is ledge of some extending for a
half mile in length, and several hundred
yards in with. This stone is very strong

strongly so indeed, that it is impossible to
ride well shod horse over it. A gentle

revolutions his horse was brought up

his patience became exhausted and he sent
for blacksmith. The son of Vulcan soon
arrived and found the horse standing still,
and 10 all appearance as immovable as the
rock of Gibraltar. Various expedien.s
were resorted to to relieve the horse but all
failed. There he stood, and 10 all appear

literally glued to the solid and impervious
rocS. AT last the blacksmith's eyes glis-
tened, he laid it sure smithy for his shoeng
tools, which were soon forthcoming. wien

to unclinch the nails which bound the hor-
ses shoe to his hoofs!-One by one the
nails were unclinched, The whip WAS applied
to the horse, ard as the last nail gave way
he escaped with bound but left his shoes
welded TO the rock.

THE NEW TARIFF.


We publish the official copy of the new Tariff
at full length. The wool-growers will see that
we have correctly stated the provisions Of the act
heretofore, while the abominabe deception of the
locofoco newspapers is fully exposed by the act.
The first section imposes duty of 5 per cent.
on all coarse wool, costing cents or under and
on all other Uool, cents per pound and 30 per CT
ad valorem; also contains the provisions against
frauds, which we have frequently alluded TO.
Section / nclds 0 per cent to the duties in Ger.
tain cases.
Section IL requires duties to be paid in cash.
Section l6 requires an appraisal at the average
price in the principal markets of the country from
whence exported. This in effect requires the nd =
diti,ion of the profit in the foreign market over
the first cos paid to the producer All costs and
charges Except insurance. and also commissions,
are to he added TO the foreign cost-,he total be-
ing the sum on which the duty is to be paid.
Section II requires IN additional duty of 50 per
cent where the appraised value exceeds the in
voice 10 per cent. This is to punish attempted
frauds in invoicing. Section 10 provides fur
ther punishment.
On WOODEN manufactures the duty is 40 per cent
generally, and the clause in The original bill, I'd
ding 10 per cent in 1s43, is stricken out.

THE PRESIDENCY.

Every day brings new Developments, we
are to take all the movements of the presses and
the politicians as true signs of the popular eur
rent But we do not regard tho question of
candidate, on either side to be very well settled
yet The Wings generally seem to acquiesce in
permitting Mr. Clay's friends to try their strength
He does not yet consider himself the Wing candi-
date and judging from his barbecue speech, he
has reserved that point. In the mean time he has
been unanimously nominated by Wing State Con-
venions in Maryland, New York, and Ohio and
the elections of October and November will defin-
iely determine whether Mr.. CLAY will become
the Wing candidate. In case he does, honest
John Davis' of Massachusetts will probably run
on the same ticket for Vice President We should
not be sorry 10 see him presiding in the Senate, or
even ut the White House, should he be placed
there providentiOIy or otherwise.
On the loCoioco side there is n warm contest
and we regard Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Yam Buren,
as the two between whom The candidacy now lies.
Calhoun is supplanting the lauer--don't laugh
among the locofOcos Of Ntw England! Wood
bury, the leaden-headed, is eagued with him, for
the Vice ship The result in New York in No
vember will settle the question as to Mr.. Van Blu
ren if the state is Wing, Should Mr.. Van Buren,
he driven from the course, then comes Col John
son-and to he beaten down by Calhoun. If we
are correct, the elections in New York and Ohio
are TO have vast influence in determining the no.
limitations for the Presidency; and until the results
of those elections are known, there is little Use in
specializing upon the subject Mr.. Calhoun has
recently been nominated for the Presidency in
preference was expressed for SiIas Wright of N.
Y. us the ocoioco and free trade candidate for
Vice President.

NEW YORK,

The election comes off in November, and there
will lie a spirited contest. On Wednesday the 7th,
the State conventions of both parties met ut Syra-
cuse. The Wings nominated Hon. Luther Brad.
ish of Franklin Co. for Governor, and Hon. Ga
briel Furman of Kings for Lieut.. Governor, and
the locos nomina ed Messrs. Bouck and Dickinson.
Bouck run in 1910, and run well, though defeated.
Bradish will command very heavy vote in the
NorIl. and West particularly, and if the river and
Southern counties do their duty, lie must succeed.
The Tyler men go for the locofoco ticket, and why
should Mt they? the locos support King Veto
The Wing convention, on motion of q veteran
Democrat, the Hon. Erastus Root, unanimously
nominated Henry Clay for the Presidency, and
resolution was adopted recommending National
Convention at Baltimore TO nominate q candidate
for The Vice Presidency. We notice, W it'll great
pleasure, that the Wings Of New York rally under
the truly republican banner:
