In four weeks the Sd volume Of the Age

cur friends we shall do all We proposed
sometime since. The iwO Agents who have
Forwarded us money to assist us in our

These Of cur subscribers who have come
forward promptly and paid us their dues,
have our thanks also; and as for the rest,
who have done nothing for us, we shall not
return them the same coin: We shall do
something for them, by the middle Of May!
There is no reason why man should not
pay for his newspaper as we'll as for any,

We intend to print paper, either for the
good Of the cause, or for their own benefit
without any compensation, they'll find
themselves mistaken As true rs we live

This is the result Of federal policy The
democrat. take the opposite ground. They contend
that duties should be laid for Revenue, and that
Il Revenue 10 the Government and not protection
to individuals Is the Legitimate Object ola tariff
Consequently they oppose the old doctrine of pro-
lection per SCI and declare that no Que class in com-
munily have right to demand and receive from
the Government Protection per se,alld in this they
must be acknowledged 10 be right, whatever may be
said 10 the contrary. TO advocate Free Trade,
we repeat, is not 10 advocate the nonlmpos OF du-
lies for the support Of the GOVERNMENTAL direct
taxation. Mr. Calhoun's motto, is:
GREE TRADL; Low DUTIES; NO DEBT;
SEPARATION FROM BANKS; ECONOMY; RE
TRENCHMENT; AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO
THE CoNsrIrurIoN.
If then he advocates "Low Duties" Of course
he does not advocate No Duties. The doctrine
embraced in the motto, is,-the expenses Of the
Government, reduced to the lowest possible frac.
ton, sufficient duties laid TO meet the expenses
and then our people left to trade free with every
Nation thu, will trade with them on The same terms.
Is not this the true doctrine Is it not democratic
and doctrine of Equal Rights We believe so,
and We believe that The day is at hand when this
doctrine will be cherished and iriumphanly sus-
tanned by the luboring mass Of the people will,
whom old federal Protection will he as odous as
The old federal National Bank now is.
On this subject we beg leave TO suggest 20 the
wing people Of Vermont, tina. more reading for
themselves and less adoption Of the opinion Of
their leaders will be beneficial.

The Fairfield, at New York, from Port au

riot army WAS II, Lcogone, and amounted to
l6, 000 men, on their way for Port au Prince,
where President Boyer had but 1000 men under
his command. They are determined to drive Boyer
rom the land.
The prncipnl demands Of tho IIay'iens are a
revision Of tie Constitution; for the one in force
since lSlG, provided that it should be revised in
nine years, which Boyer has ressled-lhat the
President shall hcnceforih be elected for five or
