FARMERS OF VERMONT.

FARMERS OF VERMONT.
What think you, brother farmers, of those hire
lings, who rank you as aristocrats and monopo-
lists because you advocate the reservation of the
home market for the benefit Of every working man
of every occupation in the Union, not excepting,
when properly viewed, the cotton-grower of :ho
South ?-Or rather. what think you of those trad
ing dough faces, who would deprive you of the
rich resources OF wealth which the God of nature
has given you, by permitting foreign capitalists
10 roam unrestrained over the land, like so many
hungry wolves, whose insaliabe appetites can
never be appeased, until our very lile-bIood is
drawn from our veins TO nourish foreign strength
and iatne>s2
And who are the men, who by exterminating
commerce and manufactures, are compelling our
marketers 10 hawk about Brighton, 10 get two
cents pound for mutton. forty cents for good
pelts, and corresponding price for our wool and
every species of agricultural produce? Look at
statement of the vote on the question of referring
the Presidents message, so far as relates tn the
Tariff, TO the committee on Manufactures, in this
weeks paper The whole delegation Fl ON New
Hampshire, and every loco Gom New York voted
against pro,ec ion, while every wing member
from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and the Northern and Western
States generally, voted for protection. Add 10
this the rawlings of the Globe, Kendalps Exposit-
or HIPS Patriot, Evening Post, and nearly every
loco papers in the Union, and mass of evidence
is concentrated on this point which sets refuta-
ton at defiance.
Yes farmers, were it not for the protectivs asis
OF the whig party, every large manufactory in the
country would ere-whie be closed, hundreds OF
millions Ct capital would be sunk, 80 millions of
sheep would be slaughtered the home market
the only solitary resort for the produce of three
fourths of the Union glutted and ruined, and your
farms sold for wretched moiety of the price
which they cost you. And all this mighty sweep
ing destruction is to be brought upon YOU by the
wreiched thralls of Southern influence at tie
North. who 10 sustain themselves in power,
crouch with as much abject humility to Calhoun.
Benton ell IL omne genus, as slaves under the lash
oil Their task-masters. per6dy soruinuus would
have excited throb Of patriotism in the bosom
OF Catalina or Benedict Arnold.
What will be your situation six months hence.
If some sdlutary measure is not inerposed to i'm.
pede the tide OF misfortune which is whelmino
you to the bottom? You see the Tariff on the
Isl of January, instant, reduced in an EIGHT fold
proportion more than ever, and on the Is, of JULY
next, t" horizontal impost of 20 per cent ad val
orem, upon every species of importation.
Farmers Of permont, are you ready for the mus
ter? Your rights, your interests ard your hard
earned gains, are the subjects of taunt and ,idi-
cuie IN Congress, by the self-styled demncra ic
party, ever obsequous 10 tie nod of SOU bern null
iIheis. Let US have an interview upon this sub-
Ject- Let us in county conventions speak out
boldly and freely, and send our manlfestos 10 be
read in our halls Of legislation, whether our ser

may be that The Dagons of party will bow to The
ark oil the people, when they come up with it in
Tue majesty OF their strength. Let the waves of
popular opinion, aroused from The north. the mid

Is ne time our grievances should be explained
IN burning language. There is now dec;ded
