FROM THE INDEPENDENT.
SHERIFF'S SALES.
Mr.. Editorials the time

Mr.. Editorials the time is
approaching when our Legislature
|convenes, it becomes the editors Of
the different journals in our State, to
Iexpose fearlessly the evils which
have befallen US, on account of the
Eunwlse laws which are now in force.
Amongst the manifold statutes that
cave been sources of affection and
misfortune to majority of the citi-
gems, the one repeating the law which
required the Sheriff to advertise sales
IN newspaper, stands out in all liz
Ahideous deformity. From the period
when that statute was repealed, the
debtor portion Of the-StHte have beer
bowed down by the stern and merci
less DEGREES Of creditors. How many
industrious and worthy men have had
their property sold, and the titles pas
lsed to other persons, without any
knowledge of the notice given Of the|
time and place of sale2 Yes, count
less instances have occusred in this|
State, where men were toiling in the|
field and struggling to support their
families and TO retrieve their fortunesI
that their houses have been sold over
their heads without their knowledge
and have awakened to the sad reality
OF their misfortune, by the visitationI
,ot the purchaser to take possession of
the property. What is the notice rel
CURED under the existing law 10 be!
given to defendants in execution? n
That the Sheriff shall post up at five|
public places in the county, small
piece OF paper, specifying the cxecu-
ton, the parties, and the time for the
sale. Now, can it be possible, that
farmer living at the distace of 5 or go
miles from the county seat, can at all
times see or hear Of such notices? II {
is against reason and the experienced
OF exery one, to come to such con-
clusion. But to expose the imbecili-
ty and impolicy of the law, let ms take
1t in IFS operation as it is executed byN
the Sheriff. Say, for instance, that a
defendant has 5 negroes or the same
of bales ofcotton levied upon.
In this case the owner must be aware
Of the levy, and must know when the
sale is 10 take place: for the officer
goes on the premises 10 seizeth the prop
erty. Under these circumstances the
is sold. Where then is the
and injustice arising from
such a sale? 1t consists in this, that
the notice has not so extensively cir
as to bear the news of the APP
preaching sale to all those who are
IN the habit of purchasing, and who
have means, and desire to buy such
property. The object in selling at
public vendue, is that every person
nay have chance to bid, so that the
property may be sold for its market
or current value, and not be sacrificed.
Justice and mercy dictates that the
Unfortunate debtor who has fallen in
o the iron-graSp ofthe law, shall have
he highestprice that his property will

cal estate is to be sold. Say that thew'

A FARMER.

MExIco.-The Picoyune says
R"We have Mexican files, FIVE or six
kdays later than have been before re-
Eceivcd." Here is the substance:-
The Mexican government has sent
Ia vessel to CampeachY with the reply
Iof Santa Anna to the conditions of
1 the Campeachanos, which were sent
to him by Ampudia for his approval.
The political affairs ofMexicolook
more and more threatning. The cool
|est-headed merchants are expecting a
revolution, more bloody than Mexico
has yet seen. The times are so crit.
Ical that men hold converse with each
other with little show of confidence,
so fearful are all that an unguarded,
or impeiuous remark may be report
led to Santa Anna, whose spies swarm
Through the country. The fact that
this military dictator is shortly COM
ing down to his hacienda of Manga
Idel Clavo, leads many to believe that
Vera Cruz will be the stage upon
which will be played the first scenes
lof the expected revolution.
The conducta, with the $4,000
for the United States, reached Vera
Cruz in safety on the goth inst. The
Dolphin was to take it on board, and
was expected to sail with it on the esd,
bound for this port.
A letter which we have seen from
Mexico, since writing the above states
that Santa Anna was at Tucabaya,
where he had foti6ed himself. Wheth.
err this be true or not, it indicates the
excitable state of the public mind in
that country.

J. @. ADAMS ON ABOLITION.

Mr. Adams waited on at Pittsburgh by a
Committee of the political abolitionists, urging him
to meet and address them. This he declined, avow-
any of them, and especially to the representation
ofSaves in Congress, but expressing his opposition
to the Abolition measures of the day as follows
&c With regard to the subject mentioned in this
note,-the annexation of Texas, and the abolition
of slavery in the District of Coumbia,-l have no
opinions which | wish to conceal. The Texas
question is very delicate one, and it is probable
it will occupy much of the attention of Congress the
ensuing session, my views of it have been already
avowed on more than one occasion. On the sub
ject of Abolition, Abolition societies, Ant-slavery
societies, the Liberty Party Il have never been
a member of any of them But in opposition to
slavery go as far any of these my sentiments,
believe,very nearly according with theirs. That
slavery will be abolished in this country, and
throug hout the world,I firmly believe-whether it
shall be done peaceably or by blood, God only
knows, but that it shall be accomplished have no
doubt, and by whatever way, I say let it come.
AS to the abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia, have said that was opposed to it
not because have any doubts of the power Of Con-
gross to abolish slavery in the District, for | have
none. But regard it as violation of republican
principles to enact laws at the petition of one peo-
pie, which are to operate upon another people
against their consent AS the laws now stand, the
people of the District have property their slaves.
do not admit that these laws are in accordance
with JUSTICE for it can never be true that one
can rghtfully have property in another man. Still
these laws have had an exstince since before that
part of the country became the District of Column
bia, and was brought under the power of Congress;
and Think they should not be altered arithout the
consent Of the people Of the District. This consent
believe will yet be obtained, and slavery will be
abolished there

DEATH OF DIR. JOHN S. WoLCoTT

This event is one of deep interest to all who have
ever known the deceased. 1t came so suddenly
that we can scarcely persuade ourselves that VOL
colt is not still in our midst Seldom has death
happened in this village which could call forth so
many demonstrations of grief, so many sincere and
kindly regrets, so many affectionate tears. Our
friend was comparatively young. He retained all
the freshness of heart which characterized his ear
lier life, united with variously gifted intellect,
at once masculine and elegant, flexible and ener-
getic He was bold man he thought, felt and
acted for himself. Like his fathers who have gone
before him, he took nothing upon trust He ex-
pressed his opinions without regard to human favor
and would have maintained them in the face of the
world.
By those who are best qualified to Judge he is al
so reputed to have been man of great skill in his
profession. Those advantages which were so pro-
fusely lavished on him by his friends, to finish him
in the studies of medicine and surgery, seem to
have been faithfully improved. In his practice as
a physician none was more assdous and self-deny-
ing, more charitable to the poor and unfortu-
nate. If others have lost friend, the afflicted
have lost father, brother,a benefactor.
When we stood around his grave, and saw him
committed to that earth who is our common moth
er, all felt that the familiar form and face over
which the dust was crumbing, must long live i'm

Ivoted for the Tariff Of 1916, 1924 and 1882. I 1
think they were all reasonable and moderate, at
the times they were respectively passed. In the
infancy of manufactures, the object being to ac-
Qure the skill and accumulate the capital necessa-
ry to their successful establishments greater degree
Of protection is expedent, than is requisite after
they have made considerable progress. The diff
fculty lies in fixing that degree In 1916, we were
without much experience, and failed to make, IN
all cases, proper adjustment of the measure OF
protection. Eight years. experience in 1924 ena-
bled Congress to fix it with more equity and pre-
cison. Eight years Of progress in our manufac-
lures in 1882 justified some reduction in the
amount of duties, and generally the Tariff of 1912
is more moderate than that of 1882. AS our man
ufactures advance and become perfected, less and
less protection will be needed, until many articles
will be able to compete with the foreign rival art
cles, without any protection at all in the form Of
duties.
was not in Congress in 1928, and therefore did
uot vote for the Tariff of that year. The duties in
many instances imposed by that Tariff were extrav-
agantly high, and other duties were imposed which
were not called for by any interest. That Tariff
was fraudulent production. 1t framed by a
combination Of some members from the South, and
some from the North, who were afraid openly to
vote against Tariff, and yet wished to obtain cred
it for being favorable to support Southern interests
1t was shaped with the design of defeating the
passage of any Tariff; because it was believed that
II was so injurious to the manufacturing interest
in many respects, that the honest and true friends
of that interest would not vote for it, Had it been
defeated, those Northern members who united in
connecting it, would have returned home and as
serted that they were the true friends of protec-
ton, and that its really honest friends were mimi
cal to it. But it was not defeated. The genuine
friends of manufactures resolved not to be cheated
by such combination, and determined to take the
bill for the sake of the good that in it, notwth
standing the bad, which was put there against
their consent The scheme not having succeeded
as was designed the Southern members who were
concerned in it, afterwards bitterly reproached their
Northern confederates for the disappointment.

TROUBLES IN BRIDGEPoRT.-It seems deter
mined at last that the railroad bonds must be paid
somehow, and for want of other means the private
property of the citizens has been levied on, and
Deputy Sheriff Smith, of Stamford, has given pub-
lie notice that I" the goods seized will be sold at
the post, to the highest bidder on the 9th of De-
cember" This Is pretty hard upon private citi-
tlzens, who have thus become, in their individual
capacity, subject to the public burthens, but it
seems that the city, in its corporate capacity is no
better off, as appears by the following paragraph
from the Bridgeport Farmer of yesterday:

THE JUNIUS TRACTS.

We welcome with gratitude the efforts Of " Jun
ius' in the Wing cause, and we are glad to under
stand, that the State Central Committee, at their
late meeting at New-Haven, were unanimous in
their desire to see these tracts circulated the
State, through the County and Town Committees
They can easily be obtained from the Tribune Of
fee, New York, where they are published at so
a hundred, or $2o thousand. The numbers al
ready issued are entitled as follows: l. The Test,
or Parties tried by their acts" 2. " The Curren-
cy." 8. s'The Tariff" 4. "Life Of Henry Clay"
S. &c Political Abolition" Each of these may be
said to be equally important; but the one on po-
itieal abolition is especially so, as it demolishes
that heresy most effectually.
1t is to be hoped, that these tracts will be intro
duced into this and the other counties in the State

of them, they will be in quick and great demand.

which the editor attempted to fortfy by quotation
from Mr. Adams As follows, viz. "Will you fight
under what John Quincy Adams calls the blood
red flag of the duelist % We noticed the extraord-
nary fact that the editor should quote Mr.. Adams
for the purpose of aspersing Mr.. Clay when it is
well known that the venerated statesman and pat
riot had supported and given his vote in favor
of Mr.. Clay for the Presidency, and we added he
would do so again at the approaching Presidential
election. or this last fact did not expect to be
furnished with evidence so soon but we have it in
the subjoined extract from an address by Mr.. Ad-
ans to the people of Covington, Kentucky, town
on the Ohio opposite to Cincinnati, where, speak
ing of Mr.. Clay, he said
"Not only have received these invitations from
public bodies, and cities, but also from individual
citizens, among the first of whom was that great
man, your own citizen, who, during a very large
portion of his public life, and in several instances
in matters relating to your interests, has been my
associate and friend; and the recollection of whom
brings me to acknowledge before this whole assem-
bly,; that in all the various capacities in which
have known him to act, whether as my assistant or
associate, or acting Independently Of me and in
his individual character and capacity, have ever
found him not only one of the ablest men whom
ever co-operated with. but one of the most amable
and most worthy. / have received cordial invi-
tation from him to visit him at his residence"
Here it will be observed that Mr.. Adams decla-
red that Mr.. Clay was not only one Of the ABLEsr
MEN whom he ever co-operated with, but one of
the MOST AM1ABLE AND MOST WORTHY. What
other aegis does Mr.. Clay need to ward off the
shafts of calumny than to be pronounced by John

Chinese La5orerS.-The throwing open of the Chinese empire, amongst it's other ef- fleets, may bring the labor of its hordes of inhabitants into competition with the labor of other countries. It is very possible that it may supersede the labor of the free blacks III the West India islands, and they, there fore, would find it necessary to export them- selves to the States of America, where there are already too many of that class, who would be farther reduced by this increased competi- tion-or to England, where the poor white nhabltant can now scarcely obtain bare subsistence by his exertions-or back to the country in which they had their origin.
 This suggestion takes the coloring of a movement of the times, from the fact that Lord Stanley has recently stated in the Bri- 'lsh House of Commons, that he had received q communication from persons engaged in the West India interest, making direct propo- sals to seek the laborers of China for the British West India plantation labor They say that cheapness is at the bottom of this proposition. It IS, we presume, well known. that Chinese laborer can be had in his own country for not over three dollars month. We hope 1t may never be when American la borers shall be reduced to work for :. ten cents day and find themselves"-let hum- bug politicians eroak about the miserable false notions of political economy as much as they may. Plenty of work and good nav we vote for, for all honest laborers on inc free soil of the United States.
