BETTER TIMES.

Ii is really amusing to witness thh immense
efforts made by the loco prints to satisfy the
people of what the wings are constantly insist
ing that the times are hard. But do they in
their imaginations so stultify the people as to
suppose they cannot perceive that the present
deplorabIe situation of the country is the le-
ultimate effect of the war, which for ten years
past they have waged against the currency and
protection to domestic industry. Should the
loco representation in Congress Withdraw their
opposition against protective tariff, single
month of wing Legislation would bring US the
BETTER TIMES all are Sc DESTROYS to witness
But no. This won't do. The wings would
have the credit, and the spoils would be lost
forever. Party, party, party;-our party, is
the startling cry and the din of factious oppos-
ition must forever drown the voice of patriot
ism, and retard the progress of measures de-
manded by the .imploring voice of downtrod-
den people.

From the New Orleans Picayune.

| The steam ship Neptune, Capt. Rollins,
from Galveston, arrived yesterday at 10 O'Clock
bringing Galveston papers of Monday the 21st
inst.
! The intelligence received contradcts the
statements made by the Mexicans who captur-
Ell Capt. Ferguson at Goliad. They stated
that three thousand men had gone TO Bexar.
Here we have positive Intelligence that it was
only seven hundred. The force That Captured
Goliad amounted to only three thousand men,
consequently the whole Mexican force at Co.
lad and Bexar does not exceed one thousand.
We cannot but feel more confirmed in the be-
lief that these two detachments comprise the
invading army now in Texas, and we sincere
ly hope, the brave volunteers that have muster
ed in the west will not turn back till they have
captured or slain every Mexican that has plac
ed a hostile foot on our soil
The Mexicans have abandoned San Antonio
and more than two thousand Texans are in hot
pursuit.
The brig of war Wharton, the steamer Ia
valla, the steamer Lafitte, and TWO other YES
sells, with men determined on that exploit, left
Galveston about the 18th.
GoIiad was taken by fifty Texans, and the
great invading army, at the latest accounts,
was travelling back to Mexico as fast their
legs would take them.
The following letter from President Houston
to 4 gentleman in Galveston, published in the
Civilian, it will be seen, gives altogether a new
aspect TO affairs:
CITY OF HoUsroN, March IL, 1912.
Dear Sr,-The news by express from Aus
tin up to the 18Th instant. is that the enemy
have evacuated San Antonio, after having plum
dered the place. They were laden down with
baggage and march slowly. Col Hays is har-
assing them on their march. They only march
about eight miles each day. The troops from
Austin and those on the frontier are marching
10 Overake and beat them.
War shall now lie waged against Mexico, nor
shall we lay aside our arms until we have Sc
cured the recognition of our independence
Until then will never rest satisfied, nor will
the people of Texas. We invoke the God of
armies. Your friend,
HOUSTON.

A great and enthusiastic tariff meeting was
held last week at Troy, and an address and
memorial to congress were adopted.
TARIFF MEETING. In Franklin County a
tariff meeting was held at ST. Adams, on the
25th ult. at which resolutions in favor of pro-
lection were passed. Both parties united on
this occasion. Delegates were appointed to
the Home League soon to be assembled in the
city of New York. Another tariff meeting was
held at Bennington, on the 18th ult which pas
sed strong resolutions in favor of protection,
appointed committee to draft a constitution
for home league, and another committee to
circulate petitions to Congress, asking for pro-
tective tariff. Another great and enthusiastic
meeting was held on the SAe day at Montpe-
lier, and memorial to Congress adopted.
A PARTY QUEsrIoy-Whilet there seems to
be peculiar unanimty among the people in
favor Of protective tariff, the leaders of loco
focosm in Congress and out, and the loco press,
are almost uniformly out against it. The YER
mont Patriot, issued on the day of the tariff
convention at Montpelier, contained an article
intended to deter its readers from attending the
meeting. Locofocoism is welded to southern
interests 1t cannot sustain itself year in the
United States without going with the South.
It's dominion Is that of Shareholders to whom
its leaders cling with the tenacity of death
grasp, and should it again prevail, bankruptcy
and ruin are as sure to be the fate of this conn
try, as the return of summer and winter.

LATEST FROM TExAs.-From adyiccs recei
we'd at New Orleans from Galveston, it appears
that Texas is invaded after all, and that the
ret reat of the Mexcans from San Antonio was
a mere device TO allure the Texans on before
they were drilled and disciplined.
Extracts from letters are published in the
Galveston,papers in which the writers estimate
the Mexican force at $1,000 strongl in two
divisions, one of 5000 which was advancing
on the Metamoras road toward Victoria, and
the other of $4,000 on the upperroad marching
upon San Antonio. The force which recently
Gently captured San Antonio constituted the
vanguard at IL 900 commanded by Vasquez.
General Burleson with the Texan force, it
was thought, would follow the vanguard until
il fell back upon The main army.
The truth of these accounts is much doubt.

WOOL! WOOL!i

We have often been reproached by the dandy
locos in the streets of Middlebury, who seen
TO be IA careless of the interests of this coun
try, as if they were citizens of Muscat, of be-
ing all for wool. Regarding the sneers of thi:
sort of gentry with the contempt which they
deserve, we frankly acknowledge that our i'll
terests are nearly allied to those of the wool
growers, that shall make it our primary oh
ject 10 watch their interests with scrupulo us
vigilance. 1t will be seen by the letter of Judge
Strong, of Rutland, who is now at Washington,
that while the interests of all the various
branches of manufactures are represented BE-
fore the committee on the tariff, by their pecu-
liar friends, the claims of the wool growers are
almost without an advocate. Nor have we =
tced in all the memorials to Congress, single
one for making specific demand for protec-
ton to wool. Even in the memorial from this,
the most wool-growing county in the Union,
this most important of all other interests, was
not particularzed. Measures should speedily
be taken to exhibit to Congress our wants dis
tinctively. But whether this is done or not, it
seems impossible that branch Of industry,
which is second to none in the Union, can be
overlooked in Congress. No tariff should be
passed which does not place the shepherd upon
an equal footing with other classes of produc-
tive labor. Nor can we persuade ourselves
that members in Congress, who represent wool
growing districts, will vote for any revenue bill
which does not give his constituents fair
chance among those who to be favored by
protection. No man in his sense. can regard
protection to the few manufacturers, otherwise
than as incidental to he protection demanded
to the agriculturalsts, who compose 16-l7ths
of the population ofthe Union. We have new
er permitted ourselves to believe that the man
ufacturers of Lowell would endeavor to snatch
peculiar advantages from the success of the war
which we are wuging side by side with them
for projection, and attempt TO grow rich by OBJ
tanning our wool al % cents per pound. Fair
and equal protection to all the various interes Is
of the country, is the motto of the wool grow
Every interest should be cherished in pro-
portion to its Importance; and if agricultural
industry, which is tie very basis of national
comfort and prosperity, is not protected. well
may locofocoism charge upon the friends ofthe
tariff. the design of exclusive legislation for
the sole benefit eff monopolists and manufac-
lures.
