WHAT WILL BE IT'S EFFECT1 What will
be the effect If Vermont decides in favor Of ocoloco-
ism II will encourage Van Buren, and Calhoun and
the South TO push with vigor their plan for 70
pealing the Tariff. They will say that Vermont is
with them and they will strike holder blow than
they have dared yet TO do, against protection to our
industry. All the locoiocosgabrond well understand
that the ocofocos of Vermont arc with thcm-at least
the leaders, and are ready to go for Calhoun any
other free trade man, us the may be. So then
they will every vote given for the locofoco par
ty as on their side-for Repeal Of the Tariff.
On the other hand, every vote for the Wing party
counts on the side Of Protection, and says to the free
traders, hold -stop-save our induslry-our Tariff,
and load voice this side in Vermont will inhu-
these TO urging their foreign policy.
Will candid men of the other party consent TO tho
sacrifice Is not the independents the very
salvation Of our state, agricultural State, worth
tho sacrifice Of all party considerations? Tho new
Tariff is money in every mans pocket-and is party
worth more than tho general good-more than the
country
Ofen do your papers ask you to turn ont and sup
port the locofoco candidates md place Vermont poIit
ically by tho side Of New Hampshire. Well, all
know that not member Of Congress from New IIamp
shire for ten years past has voted for Protection-
All their members in the last Congress voted against
the present Tariff, because, they sad it gave too
much protection. All OF the present members are of
the same opinion, yet while hypocritcaly protesting
to be for protection these papers ask you vote
the ocofoco ticket and thus join Vermont politically
with New Hampshire.
Are you ready, we ask again, for the sacrifice

"MAKE SPECIE PLENTY"

Benton, Van Buren, and the locofocos promised
years ago to make specie plenty. It was TO be 20
abundant to aow up rivers,f the people would
only support locofocoism But il never came, while
locofocoism ruled in congress. It has now come to
us. Since the new Wing Tariff passed. the Reports
show that THIRTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
have been brought to this country. This the result
OF one Wing measure passed by the only Wing Con-
gross we have had for Is years. This money is now
rapidly circulating from the cities into the country. II
is getting into vermont.
Are the people ready to give up this measure and
send back this specie other countries instead Of the
products Of our country TO pay for what we buy OF
other natons' If they they have only to FOR
the ocooco cand dates for office. They threaten to
do ii when they get the power.
