FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2l,1843
THE TYLER NOMINATIONS.

We omitted to notice last week the pro-
ccedings of the Loco Convention held at
Essex on the 9th instant. Ransom Jones,
of Richmond, and Henry s. Morse, of Shell
burn, were nominated for County Senators.
We call these the Tyler nominations, from
the fact that the Tyler cohorts of the Gus
tom House, the Pos, Office, and the Break
water were well represented, in the Con-
veniion, bv Mr.. Parker of Wllison, and
McsSrs. Wms,rw and St. Tammanv O'las-
well, OF Burlington. Winsow and II.swcll
were on the committee Of resolutions. and
though Parker's name does not appear in
print, we are assured he was present and
took an active part in the proceedings of the
Convention. Thus are John Tyler and c,
p. Van Ness busy at work, through then
hircling agents, in pulling the wires and ma
king the family arrangements of the Loco
F'ocos for this county. We shall see wheth.
er the Green Mountain Boys will brook sucl
interference. 1t has not been our custom
here in Vermont to acknowledge the dicta
ton either of Virginia Slave Drivers, or SUI

AMERICAN ARTrsTs.--1n concluding our
interesting article on American Artist in the
July number of the Democratic Review, Mr.
GRrENoUcH, himself a distinguished sculp-
ton, beslows this generous eulogy upon an
eminent contemporary, native Of this State,
who is now acquiring fame for himself and
adding TO the renown ofhis country in Italy.
GAS confirmation of the statements we have made
and IN support Of our view Of then we turn with pride
and hope to Hiram Powers, as the most remarkable
instance we have ever met with of natural and
beautiful Development.
Disciplined by his previous occupations to the cx-
ncles mechanical execution he brought 10 his first
effort in sculpture, hand and eye, rift from God
and fruit of toll which made his first effort IN its walk
a master piece. The series of portraits which came
from his hand during the three four years previous
to his leaving this country are unparalleled by any
modern works in that class which we have seen. In
the portraits of private citizens, he displayed the
breadth as the classic models, united TO the force, the
evidence, and the unfnching exactness of the Dag
ucrrcotypc.
In his bus, of Ex-President Adams, he lns given
the type by which the forms Of other portraits of that
statesman will he tested in that Of Cen Jack SON. the
indomable will and high purpose Of the old hero
ncarnale. His bust of Mr.. Webster is perhaps his
chef d Guvre OF portratlre. it has the indNduaIr!
of Ioudons Noltairc united to the Grand breadth o.
Chantry's Scott. Whether we regard the action o
the head the attitude of the features or the detail o
the forms, we find nothing wanting. Compare thu
Demosrhenon bust with some ofthc lowering carac
lures which libel the late Secretary and YOU will SEE
the difference between the grasp of genius ant
the shift S of mediocry.
During .everal years past, considerable portion o
Mr. Powers time has been devoted to a statue q
Eve This work will doubtless soon be sent to TIL
| country. We have 1t in the Germ in the flower
and in the full rich fruit. 1t IS worthy its author
We hope and trust that its exhibition here will not on
confirm the fame which italy has accorded TO hin
but wi remove from his path in foreign land, som
or the b'tees' thorns by which the feet Of genius
eondcd IN rs march toward perfection. We will no
| believe ,iai, even in these timc America will allow
mar who has done well, to he punished for his d,
yotion to his art, and 10 be made TO suffer from hi
love Tor those connected with him"

FRIENDS OF PROTECTION BE
READY

From overy portion Of the Union we have
accounts Of the revival Of Business and the
increased employment of Industry under the
New Tariff. Property is generally appre-
cialinr in value, in spite Of the runous con-
traction of the Currency, which is at tits
moment smaller in volume than at any time
since 1880. Manufactures Of various kinds
are commencing and new branches Of pro-
duction are opening in the South and Vest,
where it was formerly said that only Agri-
culture could be prosecuted. This is what
the Country eminen'ly needs-a better diff
fusion and proportion Of its nduslry--and
this the Tariff is ellccting. Three or four
active Manufacturing villages in Indiana aud
Illinois, which would attract thilhcr the SUR
plus Female Population of the East, and
give employment to any which may be un-
employed IN the Wcsl-wouId reduce the
price Of what those States must buv, aud
raise .hat Of every ding they have to sell,
thus increasing the value of all the Land,
Timber, &c. in the West. Money, now al
most total stranger to whole Counties,
would be largely put in circulation every
thing which has any value would possess a
cash value, ard we would no longer hear OF
good horses sold at the Saeril's post for 81
+ and cows for 81 so, as they have frequently
been during the past year. Our Protective

HAIL STORM.

A violent hail storm passed over the towns
of Essex and Jericho in this County on Sat
urday 9Th inst. The stones were Of uncom-
mon size, some Of them being as large as
an ounce bullet, and none much below those
dmensions-As might be expected, very
lamcntable destruction of crops, trees and
windows was the resuIt-Many houses had
but here and there pane Of glass lief, unbro-
ken. Stout corn was totally demolished, and
the tender foliage Of fruit trees quite strip
ped of. Several gardens were completely
bcreit Of any green thing TO mark where
thrifty onions and hecls had been. Wheat,
rye, oats and barley were converted into
stubbes, without cutting, and even herds
grass was in several Instances extensively
beheaded. We believe nothing like this IN
severity, has ever before occurred in this re-
! zion. The storm seemed to travel northeast,
cutting out belt about half or three quar-
tiers of mile wide. We are sorry on Prof
ESpy's account, that we are not able to give
scientific description ofthis rare curiosity in
his line, but perhaps it may have thrust its
nose into the garden Of some .Saran, who
may be induced in dudgeon thereat, to ex-
pose its wandering depredations to the gaze
of the public.

THE TRUE DEMOCRAT.

This paper devotes two or three columns to
to us this week which we must contrve to an
swer in brief paragraph. The burden of
our neighbours complaint seems to be that we
called him a Z" foreigner" This, he insists,
is an inexcusable outrage upon deccncy and
good manners. True, he admits that he is
" foreigner" but then he considers it gross
scurrilily in us to call him so. To be sure,
err" lie seems rallcr inclined TO plume
himself upon the fact that he is one. And
in what, then, pray tell us, consists the " m
deceacy" of our charge? If it is no re-
proach to a man to be called a foreigner
and we certainly have never pretended that
it was-in what respect was our language
"scu,rilous 2" Our neghbor would do well
TO look a little more closely to his logic.
The Democrat next undertakes to apollo
gise for its indecent and filthy assault upon
General MArTocKs, and that our readers
max see with what dex,erity the editor ex-
cuscs himself we will quote lis language. 1t
is as follows:
The indecency of our Iemarks was derived from tho
subject of which they treated. What was ever yet

"HONEST JACK" SUSTAINED By A LOCO
FOCO

From the moment that John Mattocks received the
nomination for Governor, we have been sure that he
would have the unanimous and enthusiastic support
of the Whig party and that he would also be sustained
by not few Of the loco.ioc party, who know the
man and know him only 10 admire. But confess
that the idea that he would be most efficiently sup
ported by loro- foco press, had hardly found place
in our specuIations. BY such press John Mattocks
is now most vigorously commended nr the approba =
ton of the people In short the Spirit Of The Are is
most rWainousy dbuSino him. or course the Gen
eral will he trumphantly elected. Eastman pumps
