Noah Webster, in reference to the

and perhaps unaccountable, they are
neither new MOI alarming. He says:
.In the dark. day, May 10, 1880,
The heavens were covered with a
dense cloud for three Or four hours:

that business could not be transacted

cast, and wavv. The waving Of the
light was visabIe, and some persons

bridge over the Wall Kill, TO witness
this extraordinary phenomenon, but

we have obtained knowledge Of their proceedings,
thew have acted in concert with the feelings OF their
constituents at the least republican portion olthem oil

cnn citizens of the North EastenDistct ofhe State

purpose of taking into consideration tho state OF our
foreign aiihirs.
Hon. Azarias Williams, in the Chair
Gen. JOHN MATTOCKS, Secretary.
Resolved unanimously, That while we feel just
resentment at the commercial resolutions of France,
we have held with the deepest indignation the deter
mined continuance and rigid execution Of the British
orders in council unparalleled in their hostility and
subversive of the first principles Of our independence
Resolved, That while we view with doubtful ap-
prehension the views of the British Cabinet in the late
adjustment ofthe iudigniy offered to our Govern
ment in the atrocous attack on the Chesapeake, we
approve of the prompt deception of the proposal ofhc
British minister; proposals which emnnated from
conviction believe, that the late decisive policy
of administration and the tone ofpubc sentiment;
imperously demanded some ntonement at the shrine
of Justice
Resolved, That nothing short of immediate salts
faction for injustice received, active preparation
for and declaration of WAR, will satisfy the
able demands of our injured nsuted, and at length
enraged people, Jealous of their rights, tenacious of
their Liberty and irnmovably determined to submit
no longer to Diplomatic Chcunery, insult and In

LOcOfOcO Deception.

Our Wing friends are not perhaps, OF the
unwenried pains taken by the Loco Focos TO create
the impression that the coming election is not Of
much importance far as the question Of the Tariff
is concerned. That the Presidential election is the
time, when the merits of the question to be put
to the test. We wish to undeceive those who may
listen to such syren song TO lull TO sleep the truth
is, that while the Loco leaders wish to keep this ques
ton out of sight, it is The question that must be set
tied after alIs Vermont for tariff that shall pro-
tect her wooden interest, is she not? Let the Lo-
carry the state, ard Immediately from Maine TO
Georgia, the shout goes up from the Loco Journals,
Vermont has repudated the Tariff It will do more
to strengthen the Free Trade party than though South
Carolina should forever go Free Trade. And the rea.
son is obvious enough. The country expects that
South Carolina will always obey J, c. Calhoun, and
seek to destroy the Tariff While on the other hard,
it is expected that Vermont will sustain that policy
that sustans her interests; or in other words, that she
will sustain the Tariff. Tho question then arises,
what course will 60 to sustain the Tariff! Certainly
not for those who go for its destruction. But,
says an objectordo you mean by ths,.o say that the
Locofocos are opposed to tariff?
