The locos in Congress OPPOSED even the
moderate duties put wool by the new Tariff
When You hear their apologisis here attempting to
excuse their vote the Tariff, by saying that the
bill was not good enough put this fact in their face,
that they tried 10 make il ieorse An eye witness
writes thus to the editor OF the Burlington Free
Press:
As understand mn effort has been made in your
Slute 10 represent the Wigs in Congress as being
hostile 10 The wool growers and TO represent them
as wishing to build up the manufacturers at the
expense of the farmers, think it important that
the facts in the case should be fairly presented TO
your readers. | Will therefore state, for their in
formation aud wish to call their particular atten-
ton to it, thu when the article of wool was under
consideration in committee of the whole, james
Roosevelt, OF New York Guy, and Cave Johnson, o.
Tennessee. two of the most prominent Loco Fo-
cos in the HOUSE, each submitted motion 10 re-
duce the duty on wool to much lower rate than
wrs originally fixed in the Bill-and that they oere
both sustained by The great mass Of The Loco toco
members The u higS, however, united against
them, and voted down their propositions. The
Vermont Delegation went before the Committee
of WAYS and Means, and prevailed upon them
through their Chairman, Mr.. Fillmore, 10 submit
II proposition to raise The duty on this article 20
The rate at whirh it now stands in the Bill. TINS

Messrs. johnson and Roosevelt, also prepared a

country is not exerted 70 countcract this bias OF
foreign legislations
These things, fellow citizens. should not, must
not be; and through the candidate whom we have
nominated. we advocated revision Of the pre-
sent Tariff, 50 as TO impart protection to domes-
tic industry, provide an ample revenue, restore
the national credit and repenish an exhausted
treasury. without aggravating the burdens impo-
sed on the other great interests Of the country.
We believe also, that the proceeds of the Pub
lie Lands belong righ,fully to the Statcs-that
tho expenses of Government in time Of peace
should be met from other sources, and that the
present system of distribution ought not to be dis
turbcd.
We are i'm favor of restriction Of the Presi-
dental service to a single term--of retrench-
ment ofpublic expenditure in the Legislative, Ju-
dicial and Executive Departments Of the Govern
ment--of strict accountability of public officers
of uniform currency, based alike upon the
public faith and private resources, and Of total
separation Of the purse and the sword.
In the support OF these principles we ask your
cooperation, and as their ADVOCATE in times past,
their CHAMPION in the hour of peril. and their on

you, emo and ali, to rally in behalf Of ''HARRY

FROM RHODE ISLAND.

The complexion OF tho news from Rhode Is
land is similar TO that received yesterday. All vas
hustle and excitementand preparation fer an ap-
pretended conflict. The State had been placed
under martial law. and new recruits were hourly
swelling the ranks of boil, parties. TO Judge
from the statements in the papers, it would APP
pear that the crisis was fast approaching
The Legislature of the State, which had been
in session at Newport, adjourned on Friday to re-
assemble at Providence on Monday. Before adj
Joarning an act was passed au,horising the Gov
ernor To place the whole or any part OF the State
| under martial law. They also passed an act call
ing a Convention of the People ofthe State for the
purpose of forming new Constitution, or form of
government. The election of delegates to the
Convention is 10 take place on the last Tuesday
OF August, and the Convention is To- assemble ut
Newport on the second Monday Of September.
The Constitution that shall be agreed upon is to
be submitted to the People.
This prompt and liberal action on the part Of
the General Assembly had produced no visible
| effect on the partsans of Dorr, who were assem-
bled at Chepachet, though an article in the Ey-
press newspaper, the organ of the Suffrage party,
would seem TO Indicate disposition on its part
for still further parey, rather than at to urge
hoStlities to an extreme point.
The general expectation at Providence was,
that the insurgents would Oh Saturday attempt
10 carry out, by force of arms, their revolutionary
designs and in anticipation thereof, all the mill
tia oil that place. together with the volunteer COM
panes which had been transported thither from
| Newport, Warren, Bristol, &c. were under arms,
making in all force of about three thousand
men.
| The latest accounts from Chepachet, the en-.
camPment of the Insurgent forces, represent their
numbers at ten or eleven hundred, of whom about
! four hundred were without muskets, but the par
ty were well supplied with fed-peces and had
plenty OF ammunition. Mr.. Dorr arrived there on
Saturday morning. Their encampment at Woon-
socket had been abandoned, in order to join their
forces at Chepachet.
The Providence Journal says that from all parts
OF the State, except the disailected portions Of
Providence county, the people hocking in to
maintain the Government-that the crisis is inn
mediately at hand, and the men who are now rail-
lying around the Government will not be disband-
cd until the question is settled

FRANCE AND OUR TARIFF.

In France there is notion that ill-will to that
country prompts the enhancement of our Tariff.
Mr.. Waleh in his Sas letter to tile Editors Of tho
Inteligencer, calls attention to this. "Nevor.
SURELY" says the lntelligencer, "did more
groundless suspicion enter into the heads of a
jealous people. Nothing is more certain than that
the universal feeling in this country towards France
is the very of i'll will. How notion
could have prevailed to the contrary is TO us as
unaccountabie as the notion itself is without the
shadow of foundation. The duties laid in this
country upon imports may in some cases operate
adversely to the interest of the growers of French
products, Of wines and silks for example, but they
ale laid with such intention. but with a single
eye to the purposes of revenue necessary 10 the
