THE FARMER NEGLECTED..

The following extract from the speech of Mr.
Hastings of Ohio, on the tariff bill, will show how
the farming n,crcs, is regarded by the wing ma
jori'y in Congress;
The bill further manifested an utter disregard to
the interests of the farmer. The duty on leather
was fixed at from 33 10 40 per cent, and the same
on shoes; while on dry and sailed hides, they laid
duty Of but one cent pound about from to
10 per cent.--giving the tanner considerable nd
vantage over the farmer at difference of no less
an amount than from 25 to 80 per cent They al
so laid duty of from 20 to 60 per cent on wool
len fabrics. and only per cent on wool offs cents
down--ihcrcby giving the manufacturer an advan-
lage of from ID to 60 per cent. over tho farmer !!
The farmer had 10 pay most of the local taxes to
support his own State and county governments;
and this bill taxed the harness. leather for his hor-
scs, and also his shoes, 40 pet cent the iron and
steel for his p'oughs, shovels, &C.. was rated ut
SIS per cent; his sugar, 80 to IS per cent on the
anti-climac products that he could not raise on his
farm he WINS taxed to the amount of $50 per cent !;
and even the very bullet that he put in his rifle to
shoot, perhaps. the enemies of his country. he
was taxed nj the rate of 100 per cent; while on
two of his staples-coarso wool and hdes-he
was favored with per cent, on the former, &
from TO 10 per cent. on the later-both, at pres
cni, duty free

Democrats of Windsor County, are you clrCula-
ting the Age in all parts of il Are you meeting
the organs Of Jarvis s. Co, rofuting their libes up
on the democracy? Or do you subscribe to the
doctrine, uttered aud prncticed by the Spanish Hi
dago Of Weaiherstied that the rich mans money
is equivalent to the poor man blood, thereby de-
prving freemen of the most sacred blessing confer
red on MANI Such are the kind of men you have
to deal with; men who tell yon that their i'll gotten
lrcre is to buy your hearts blood, the birthrights
Of your children and the virtues of your wives.-
viii the democrats Of Windsor bow the knee to
these traitors Of God S laws, which declare all men
free and equal and which are so appropriately a.
dopted into our Constitution to party that o.
penly espouseS the cause of the Charter Party in
Rhode Island, thereby carrying into practice n
theory which is based upon property qualifica-
lion, denying TO those freemcn who are poor in
this worlds goods, but rich in truth and virtuous
integrity the bood-bought privilege of participating
in the administration of government but neverlhe-
less force them to support by the sweat of their
browse Will they ever submit to the dictation of
these men, They never will. They are awake
TO their true interests, and they will adhere to
them with tenacity not shaken by the political
chcancery of their insolent opponents.
Friends of Constitutional justice be active and
do your duty this fall and you will wipe away from
yourselve very grea, Sin. Let every democrat
be engnged-see that the .Age is in every mans
hands, tina! he may know the true situation of ar-
fairs-see that your town and State committees
are actively engaged, let every one arouse himself
for the coming fight for this is no idle farce, but
battle, the victory of which will be to the active
and the brave.
Look ye to it, that you ale not weighed in the
balance and found wanting, but that you bring in Il
fair book and exhibit just accounting and save
yourselves from the wrath to come.
Much is expected from you at this time, by your
brethren in other countless and let us not be disap-
pointed you can give us a hearty lift, one which
