GOVERNOR DORR,

We see by the papers that the Rhode
Island renegade, Dom, under the patronage
of his Locofoco Excellency of Connecticut,
is prowling up and down in the latter State,
and concoctng plot for another attempt
upon the life of his noble old father and his
other quondam fellow citizens. This nigh
ty Governor, who holds the right, under the
"People's Constitution" ESQ says Locofo-
coism) of lording it ever gallant little Rhody,
and is wickedly prevented from the fruition
of the honor and glory of such high post
seems to be skulking like sheep thief around
the borders of his native State, instga,ing
treason against her, and afraid to enter her
territory lest he should meet the merited re-
ward of his vilainy. The Sentinel said the
other day that the triumph of law and order
in Rhode Island. over Dorr democracy, was

THE TARIFF.

There are now three Tariff Bills before
Congress, each prepared with great labor.
LIST. The bill reported by Mr. Saltons,all
from the committee on Manufactures of the
House.
I'd. The bl! prepared by the Secretary of
the Treasury, at the request of Congress.
Sd. The bill of the committee of Ways
and Means of the House.
The first and third repeal the clause of the
land bill which suspends the distribution
whenever duties are raised over twenty per
cent The second according with the re-
commentator of the Presidency does not re-
peal that clause, but in effect retains the pro-
ceeds of the public lands in the Treasury.
Every one of these Bills will be opposed
by the Tories. Nothing which the Wings
propose, however reasonable it is, and how
ever necessary it may be to restore the pros
perity of the country, will be supported by
the Tories. While they are bowling mos
hideously about the "hard times" which
their own policy has brought upon the coun.
try, they will neither do anything thems elve.
to improve them; nor will they allow thu
Wings to do anything if they can help it.

ADVANTAGES OF IRON STEAMERs-The adj
vanages possessed by iron but vessels over
those oi wool are many and important. la re-
spect 10 we CHI; an iron vessel OF the same
strength and dimensions as one OF wood Is less
than one haf that Of the latter and it may be-
farther observed that properly constructed
wood vessel weighs on an average 1900 to eve
nv register ton, while an iron one OF similar dl-
mensions seldom weighs YER 700 TO the ton.
The iron built vessel is also far less liable
to spring leak than the one of wood. Almost
every plank in an ordinary ship IS forced from
lis proper place through the action Of steam, and
not unirequenty considerable mechanical power
is necessary 10 bring the plank to their original
position. Furthermore, in wood built vessels,
the plank, however firmly bol,ed 10 the timbers
| w,thn, are entirely uncunnected with those
| above or below, the consequence of which is
| that the ship is liable to stra n whenever an un-
usual surface OF canvass is exposed. Under
these circumstances the mas,s operate as pow
eriul levers on the upper works, and the cargo
| below endeavorng TO maintain an upright posi-
ton, 1t follows that IN proportion as the vessel
| keels over from the action of the wind will be
| the strain on her upper side, which having d.
rect tendency TO open the seams between the
plank, it IS not uncommon for vessels to spring a
| leak, from this cause that were before perfectly
sound. But in respect to iron built ships the
case is entirely different here every sheet of
IRON with which she is closed in is adapted to its
particular position, from which no cause exists
to remove II, and since every sheet is firmly
boted into all those that adon it, as also to the
iron ribs on which they are laid, the vessel Is
almost as compact as II 1t were one entire cast
ing.

Mn. CALHOUN IN THE FrELp.-A great mass

ATTENTION, WIGS!

Our readers will perceive that tho County
Committee have called Convention Of the
Wings of this county at Wiliston on We'd
nesday the 29th of June, for the purpose OF
nominating candidates for county Senators
and transacting such other business as may
come before them. 1t is Of the utmost inn
portance that every town in the county should
be fully represented. 1t will be seen from
the call of the committee that it IS contem-
plated, at this convention, to appoint Dele
gates to attend the State Convention which
meets at Middlebury on the 9th of July next.
Again we say, let us have full and general
attendance from every section of the county.

LET 1T BE REMEMBERED

By the people of this State, that Ed
WARD ID. BARBER. whom the Tories
have just nominated for Lieut.. Governor of
Vermont, last year introduced and advocated
the following resolution in the Tory Stale
Convention:
"Resoired, That the true principle of the Federal
Government is TO contine lis action to the ohac 5
specifically enumerated in the Cons tuition, LEAV-
ING n d TRY TO TAKE CARE OF IT
SELF"
This, according to Edward d. Barber,
is the "TRUE PRINCIPLEm And the
last Tory State Convention have formally
endorsed the doctrine by unan'mously nom
mating this same Edpard ID. Barber fol
the second office in the gift of the people,
Every one will see that the sentiment of the
resolution is utterly hostile to the doctrine %
a Protective Tariff. Calhoun himself coulo
go no further. This, then, is the true issue
between the Wings and Tories. Let TIN

tection,- that is the question"

the only Wing victory which had happened
this spring. Be that as 1t may, the Wings
are far from feeling any Discrimination to bear
the credit of the overthrow of such precious,
hypccriiical scoundrcls. The Dorrites be-
gan their unhalowcd warfare with lie in
their mouths, namely, that they we're con-
tending for the extension Of suffrage. Their
hollow pretcnsons we're adroi,ly exposed by
the action of the Legislature in calling le-
gal convention, which offered the cut-throa,s
a better constitution than they could ever
make, if they sat in session as long as the
Rump Parliament" And in all their
hypocrilical cant about equal rights and the
extension of suffrage, offered as an excuse for
their treason, they have been cheered on and
encouraged by Locofoism-whch goes to
prove what every body ought to have known
before, that the sole object of the whole
movement, was to effect in some way or other
summerset in Rhode Island, which would

MURDER N WINDsoR.--The Vermont Chron.
icle brings an account OF one OF the most shock
ing and unproyoked murders which we have
ever hadto record. Il seems that on Thursday
the second inst three sons of Mai, John Pettes,
and an lrishman named Peter McCue, accom-
panied by a negro lad, named Homer Cooper,
only four years of age, were at work near the
Connecticut river, About two O'Clock the
work had all been completed, save that of Fred
erick Pettls, who was lett alone with the color
ed lad. McCue returned to the field, pretend
ing that It was to help Frederick ; but when he
(Frederick) had finished his work, and was show
ing the lttle boy how TO handle the hoe, McCue
attacked him with a hoe, and followed up his
blows until he supposed he had killed both the
boys. Young Pettes recovered so as to call for
help, and it is hoped that he will survive but
the colored boy d ed of his wounds on Sunday.
McCue escaped by swimming the river, and a
reward OF 500 s offered for his arrest. Des-
criptiou 30 TO 30 years of age height about
five feet seven inches rather fair complexion I;

A person nearly answering this description
has been arrested, and is now Thursday in
the Jail in this village

and is now in prison here.
