NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. d,

Below We give all the returns that we have
been able to receive of the. recent election

the opponents of Radicalism have accom-.

its total overthrow, unless their recent les.

We now recur TO one Wing pledge, and

that pledge, and utterly disreearded it
through the Ahole term of their power ::
they kept on constantly increasing expenses
from 1928, with occasional diminutions,
just TO show their own consciousness of a
guilty dereliction of duty. In 1885 they
made large diminution that it ,Das just

REVOLUTION IN HAYTI.

In conversation with Capt. Smith, tho in.
telligen, commander of the brig Sea Eagle,
arrived here in short passage from Port
au Prince. we have learnt many interesting
particulars, not detailed in our letters, re-.
speeding the revolution in that Island.
President Boyer was actively engaged in
certifying the town Of Port au Prince, and
in collecting his soldiers about him. He
had made a road from his country seat,
which is situated out Of the limits of the
town, 10 the sea side.
The insurgent army had arrived at the
junction of the main roads from Port au
Prince to Jacquemel and Jeremie. They
were supposed to be about 10000 strong.
1t was believed TO be their intention to sc.
cure the South of the .lsland-for which pur
pose, 5000 Of their troops were to be sent TO
Aux Cages, and 1000 10 Jacquemel-and
the remainder were to proceed againt Port
au Prince. The instruction originated at
Jeremie-although the movement was well
understood in the other principal towns.
Boyer had determined to hold out, and
not to yield to the demands of the insurgents
but the general impression was, that he
would fall. The insurgents. although mod
erale in their demands at FIRST, had become
at his pertinacity-and had de.
ermined 10 be satisfied With nothing less

CONNECTICUT.

The Annual Election in eur sister State
takes place on Monday, April Sd, and we
do hope that the Wings are preparing to
give good account of themselves. In adj
dition to their whole State Government,
four Members are to be chosen to represent
the State in the next Congress, which Gen.
gress is to determine whether the Tariff
shall be sustained or subverted. We appeal
to every manly citizen, to every lover Of
honesty and fair dealing, to mark the re-
spective attitudes of the two parties on this
vital question. The Wings are openly,
frankly, uniformly, in favor Of sustaining
the present Tadff,and of amending it,should
it need amendment, in perfect accordance
with the Protective principles on which it is
based. The Loco Focos are in favor Of
what +? You cannot tell from their papers,
their Convention, their Resolutions. At
heart, the leaders are all deadly hostile to
Protective Duties, as were evinced by their
inviting Levi Woodbury. to deliver his Free
Trade Address al New Haven, and unani-
mously approving its doctrines. But the
party dare not take this ground Lefore the
People, and so it skulks and palters. and its
Governor twaddles about Incl
dental Protection in order to throw dust in
the eyes of the People. The Loco.Foco
papers do their utmost, by indirect and dis.
honest means, to make Protection odious
to the People. yet are careful not to avow
their hostility. and try to keep the subject
out of the public mind. But it cannot be
shuffled aside. Tribune.

THE CURRENCY-PRESIDENT
JACKSON-MR. McDUFFIE.

10 his speech in the Senate little before
the close of tho late session Of Congress, on
the resolutions offered by himself relative
10 the condition Of the country and the cur
rency, mr. McDuffis said:
"President Jackson had certainly COM
miIted very great error in removing the
disposiies and in selectingi certain State
Banks as the depoitories ofthe public mon
les, with injunctions, almost amounting TO
law, to furnish those accommodations which
the U. S. Bank had been in the habit Of do
ing. Under that system every one was a.
ware of what.took place. All that bad been
predicted BY the most sagacious actually &C.
CURED, and the currency ofthe country was
expanded to a degree that had no PARALLEL
the the tide of time. Such was the wild
delirium in every possible species ofspecu.
lation, that penniless adventures entered in.
TO it to the tune of hundreds of thousands,
on the paper furnished them by the banks;
and, az was the inevitable consequence, a
general suspension followed"
All this is very true. Mr.. McDufie has
a good memory: and others. who recollect
the doings Of the days he has recalled, will
also remember that in 1881 we think il was.
perhaps 1882, he made very full and able
report in the House of Representatives in
favor of the National Bank, in which he
showed how admirably it had performed its
duties, and served both government and peo-
pie, by collecting and disbursing tho mon
eys Of the former without tho loss Of cent,
or The cos, Of cent, and by furnishing the
latter with 4 perfect currency currency
better great deal than gold and silver, be-
cause, while il was every where instantly
redeemable in geld and silver. it could be
carried about, or be RENTED, without ex-
pence or burden.

one of the most enlightened merchants in
the country, then in the U. s. Senate, chair.

and always q democrat. General Samuel
Smith. also made report on the same SUBJ

fie's, but quite as decided in commentator
of the bank for the perfect success with
which it had fulfilled all the important pur.
posses for which il had been created. The
idea of National Bank had not then be.
come obsolete; and unless tho nature and op.
erations Of trade, and the utility of . sound
and convenient circulating medium in con-
nection Herewith, have oil become obsolete

that has ever yet been able to furnish good
national currency,in this. country, can have
become incompetent to do that which it al.
ways has done whenever tried, and which

METHOD OF MAKING MAPLE
STJGAR

The Vermont Chronicle gives the mode
of sugar making, adopted BY Mr.. John Pal.
mer Of Williamstown, farmer who annu-
ally makes from 1000 to 1000 lbs. Of the
very best Of maple sugar. The writer says,
that the only secret is to keep every thing
perfectly clean. Mr. Palmer has q sugar
lot Of $50 trees, and 10 it two cheap sheds
ono with three fat sheet iron boilers,
moveable-the third q small one to sugar
of in. Fire arches, with = chimney, are
built for these. The other shed is for wood,
which he fills in the summer, and thus has
dry wood for use every spring. Tapping
is done thus,-a "a inch augur hole is
made in the tree, 10 the depth Of "a Of an
inch, and sheet iron spouts, from three TO
six inches long, are driven into the bark IN
der the hole, and the tubs arc suspended by
q nail driven into the tree. At the end Of
the season these nails are carefully Temov-
ed. For sap getherers he has two hogs
heads, each on a sled, into which the sap is
always strained, through cloth strainer fix
ed to the bottom Of large tunnel. The
object Of having two hogsheads is, that the
man boiling can draw from one while the
other is being filled. In boiling, the sap is
kept constantly running into the boilers
from the feeder. just in proportion to the e.
vaporation and in running from the feeder
10 the boilers, the sap again passes through
a wooden strainer. The syrup is again
strained hot from the boilers, and when cold,
eggs or milk are added for rising the scum.
The syrup is then put into the small boiler
Zone third full, or little over,) and sugar.
ed off quick over q hot FIRE. If tho sugar
rises, put in small quantity Of butter.
The boilers are in shape such as described
by Us two weeks ago.-N. Waterman.

CHINA The N. Y. Commercial con-
tains letter from, Canton, received by the
Great Western, from which We extract the
folio wing:
"Commodore Kearney, wko is now here,
and will in day or two leave China in the
Constellation, for Manila. to return in q
month or six weeks. has lately addressed a
communication to the viceroy, which, from
the tenor of the reply, we infer was to ask
that the American trade might be placed
upon the same footing hereafter, as the Brit.
ish trade with China. We have not had
an opportunity of seeing copy Of the com.
modore's letter, but have seen translation
of the answer, which is civil one and sat.
isfactory also. The Governor states that
the Emperor is aware, as be the Governor
is also, tina: the American merchants have
been better contensed and more observant
Of the laws than those Of other nations. and
that therefore he is well disposed to pay at
tention to the communication made to him.
He then informs the Commodore that as
soon as The high commissioners and Sir H.
Pottinger arrive here and have arranged re-
gardiDg the British trade, he the Governor.
together with the Lieutenant Governor and
the Tartars' General, will! consult and make
a representation TO the Emperor regart::ne
the American trade, and that its isterests
will be attended to-"

THE MILLENNIUM.

In the days ofths Apostles, not only were
there those who thought that the end Of the
world was then near, but we read Of Hy-
meneus and Philetus, who held that the res
direction was past already, and overthrow
the faith of some. The end Of the world
was also predicted and expected A. D. 365,
on the ground that our Savior, after reading
Of the acceptable year o. 9th; ;;e Lord and the
day Of vengence Of our God, said, "This
day is this scripture fulfilled in your years. :"
Hence many thought that this acceptable
year was prophetic year, or 365 common
years, and that the day Of vengence Of our
God, or the day Of judgement, would imme-
diately follow.
The doctrine of the millennial reign of
Christ on earth was held by Irenaus, and
Justin Martyr, among the early Christian
Fathers. and was opposed by Origen. In
the third century, Nepos, an Egyptian bish-
op, taught that the millennium was to COM
mence after the resurrection, and described
the happiness Of the saints as consisting in
great degree in the grosser pleasures Of
sense. Dionysius of Alexandria, disciple
of Origen, confuted and suppressed this er.
ror by public discussions, and by two books
on the divine promises. During the same
century, scot called Chiliasts fourished,
one class of whom held that in the millen.
MUM the the spiritual enjoyments of Chris.
tians would be much greater than at PRES
ent, while the other expected all kinds of
sensual delights, and the free indulgence of
all, even the most exorbitant lusts.
About the middle of the fourth century,
there were those who held that in the mil>
lennium, Jerusalem would be rebuilt, and
that the land of Judea would be the abode
of the saints who were to reign on earth
thousand years that the first resurrection
would embrace not only the early martyrs,
but that after the fall of Anti. Christ, all the
Just were to raise, and all that were on earth
were to live this thousand years; that Christ
would come down and reign on earth during
the whole period, and that the Saints should
then enjoy all the delight of an earthly Par
adise.
In the tenth century, the Christian world
was thrown into great commotion by the
belief which then prevailed that the end of
the world was near. This opinion origina-
ted in the preceding century from this fact,
that in Revelation xx 2-4, the binding of
Satan for 1000 years is spoken of in con.
nection with the end of the world. The

PROTECTION.

Does the imposition of protective duties
increase the price of the protected ar,icles7
The advocates of Free Trade insist that
it does. We say no. Our opponents have
always commended that every kind and de.
gree of duty is just so much addition to
price, aad therefore, thot no protection can
be extended, in this way, 10 the producer or
the manufacturer. except at the expense of
the consumer. Those who reason in this
way are generally willing, however, that
small duty should be laid for revenue, this
being The most convenient method of rails.
ing supplies for the government.
Row we insist that tho only duty that nee.
essarity passes into price is the mere reve.
nue. duty, when it is SO small that it affords
no protection 10 the manufacturer. Tho
reason Of this is very plain. A revenue du.
ty has no tendency to excite competition a.
mong the producing classes. Protective
duties, on the contrary, while they encour-
age homo production, invariably contribute
to reduce prices, by stimulating competition
among the manufacturers. Nor is this all.
Another benefit, still more important than
the effect on prices, results from protection
We mean the better distribution of capital
and labor, which is the natural consequence
of the growth Of manufactures. By contin.
uaIly increasing The number of those who
consume the products of The country, and
are not engaged in producing them. the
market for those products is constantly e1.
tending, and this, also, il is plain, indirectly
enhances price.
Thus the farmer Is benefited in Two ways
by protective duties. The growth of manu-.
features, when duties are high, constantly
operates to sustain the prices which the far.
mer receives, and to keep doson those which
he has to pay.
But, at this stage Of the argument, Free
Trade Locofoco walks up, and asks us how
the manufacturer Is TO be benefited, if the
result of protection be to keep down the
price OF his fabrics. The answer is easy
and conclusive. The effect of permanent
and steady protection, and of the COMPETE
ton it exciles, is to improve the skill and
economy with which the business of manu-
featuring is carried on, in all its details, and
thus enable the manufacturer TO make as fair
a profit, on lower price, as he could, in
tho outset, derive from a higher. The nat
ural operation of a uniform and stable sys-
tenn of protection, therefore, benefits all
classes of the community. Under it, the
rich man finds safe investment for his cap.
ital, and the poor man for his labor the far.
mer sells high and buys low the manufac-
lurer is enabled to pay better prices TO those
he employs the number Of producers is d.
unfinished, OF consumers increased, and pro.
ductive capital is, therefore, improved we
export more, import less. thus keeping the
balance Of trade in our favor and adding 10
the circulating medium Of the country; hon.
est industry is encouraged, daily labor re.
warded, business becomes brisk, the people
conenied, and the country independent and
happy.-Bxrlington Free Press.
