A COLD WATER ARMY.

Al the recent meeting of the Vermont State
Temperance Society il was resolved that during
the present season, Vermont would raise a ''C1d
Water Army" OF 10000 Agreeably 10 this deter
mination, the operation of recruiting has common
ced in several parts Of the State, and the children
and youth arc emhody wing themselves into Temper
ancc Societies, in the towns and villages, and form
ing companies, 10 make up the 10000 oonsid-
cradle number OF The children and youth (undcr
lG years of go)resdng in this section of our town
me; last Thursday afternoon at the meeting house,
and after some explanation Of the object and the
pledge, the singing of"cod water melodies, &c,
came forward and ensied-whcn they marched
up and down the street, with banners, upon which
were inscribed appropriate notices. a medal was
presented 10 each one after joining, upon which
is written, "ihe bearer is member of the
Total Abstinence Society The pledge runs thus,
"liore we pledge perpetual hate
To all that does intoxicate.
The children were much animated, and scpara-
ted with the anticipation Of general muster"
about the 4th Of July, when they hope TO join or
be joined by other branches OF the army in neigh
boring towns and villages. The Inscriptions on their
banners read thus-"The cold water army

The Wings have lost Connecticut We were
about to say how, but it is useless to multiply
words upon subject Of that kind, Yet it is worth
while TO seywhat causes are assigned for this re-
sdft,- m pleasant, il not SO unexpected.
Th%New York Evening Post, regular Loco
F4sT and consistent free trade paper, gives the
following opn ion
1--WE more pleased with the result in this
State, because the battle has been fought upon the
question OF protection no protection. The dem
ocraiic papers have conducted The contest with
great ability and spirit, and the friends Of tho ab
surd and pcrnicious restrictive system, were delea-
ted in argument, long before they defeated at
the ballot boxes. 1t is TO be hoped that The demo-
cratic party, in all the other States, will prove as
faithful to the broad and benevolent principles of
their creed-freedom and progresses the inielli
gent and incompatible democracy OF Connecticut
have done
So, then, the Locolocos have trumphed IN Con
neccut upou the anti tariff question. They have
avowcd themselves opposed to protective duties on
foreign productions, and thus have defeated the
Wings. And it is 10 be hoped, says The Post, that
The democratic party, in all The other States, will
prove faithful, &c. So that the Locofoco soi
dts7nt democratic party rallies on The anti tariff
ground. Letthem stick to their doctrine.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The Iocos have lost, it is stated, 900 votes in
Conn. since the Presidential eleciion-that is, have
defeated the Wings by avote 900 less than it
was then. They have carried the Stale by gen
eral rally while the Wings relying upon their own
strength for success said at home. The Wings are
now jus, awakng from their reverie surprised that
the State is not theirs 1t will teach them good
lesson, and we only regret their present defeat on
account Of the election OF u s. Senator, Gin the

however no choice ofState officers, but the Legs

LOCOFOCO LEGISLATURES AND A PRO
TECTlVE TARIFF

The course pursued by the locofoco party in ref
erence 10 Protective Tariff is 50 we'll ca lcuatod
deceive, and is dishonest too, that II
should be held up to view that 1t might meet The
scorn and deIsion Of all honest men Now and then
paper Of that party, in this State especially comes
out and says, 'they Cor reasonable tariff, ard
at the same time that very paper which makes
this declaration is throwing odium upon Protec>
ton, and ermiug it a ewing Hobby" We have
hardly taken up paper of this character for two
months that did not exhibit this mode of fdroring
Protective Tariff.
At the same time we see the locofoco members
Of The Legislatures OF nearly every State voting
down or voting against resolutions calling upou
their embers in Congress to vote for such Tar
i'll. And further see, with but very few
exceptions, the members of Congress of that party
voting aud making speeches against Protection -
Now what does all this mean9 Ii means tina, the
party, especially the leaders ofit are opposed to
Protection but as there among the industrious
portion OF that party here and there individuals
who are in favor Of Protection, their papers come
out with the declaration that 'they are for q rea
sonabie Tarif," and thus they seek to humbug
them, and keep them still attached to them, TO Sc
cure their votes. Yet this ia all these Tariff men
get. Nothing is said TO show the necessity Of a
Tariff, and they dare not publish Wing Tariff
speeches, nor Locofoco Free Trade speeches. Do
they hope 10 satisfy reasonable men by such a
course?
And why is it that the Legislatures do thus and
their Congressman vote as they do? Is it for any
other than TO show the world especially the
South, that their party are not for Protection. 1t
can be nothing else Thus double game is play
ed-to cheat and deceive those who are willing TO
be deceived and cheated

HERE WE HAVE II ?

The ocofoco papers in some quarters are con :
graduating themselves that their momentary sue
cess in Connecticut is triumph over thu Tariff
Party meaning the Wings. They say the ques'
ton decided was, "Prolection or no Protection.
This looks like being friendly to Protection, don t
it? 1t won't do for the papers in this State to
avow openly in this manner, because there happen
20 be among tho locooco farmers and mechanics
of the State few Protection men-but it answers
very well in New York and also South and West.
