DopeING THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The
OF all the Loco Foco asprants for the Presi-
dency to the queries OF the Indiana Convention are
most marvellously non-eomnittal on the subject OF
the present tariff law, with the single exception of
Calhoun. Messrs. Johnson, Van Buren, ,Cass and Blu
chanan do not throw the least light this point
They all profess to be utterly opposed to protective
tariff, but of them tell the public what they mean
by protective tariff, which is rather important
consideration than otherwise. All, except Calhoun,
in favor of incidental protection, but
dertakes to show where protection ceases to be incl
dental and becomes direct-where duties for revenue
cease to be such and become protective. This is a
vastly easy way Of lodging the question. But will the
friends of in the tariff States rest satisfied
with men who thus shrink from meeting this most i'm
portant question boldly in the face Will they not
ask them, in many words, is present tariff too
high, and if So in what Are you in favor of reduce
ing existing duties to obtain revenue by the inn
portation Of more foreign manufactures This is
the great point issue land this they do

FHenry B. Stacy, recently removed from the
p o. at Burlington has been appointed Clerk of Chit
tenden County Court vice William Noble, removed.
The Loco Focos of Burlington intefered in and pro-
cured the removal of Mr. Stacy by the hand of their
friend, President Tyler and got the editor of'her pa
per at Burlington appointed in his stead. BY way of
an Offset the Wing members Of the Chittenden bar
unanimously recommended to the Court to appoint
Mr. Stacy Clerk, in the place Of Mr. Noble, whose
political friends had caused the removal Of his
cessor from the Post Office. The Court therefore
made the appointment and Mr. Stacy now enjoys an
office with better salary than the P. o. afforded.

The New York Commercial Advertiser of Satur-
day says: "The general appearance of business is
daily becoming more satisfactory. The large impor-
cations Of specie in return for the crops Of the coun
try and its gradual diffusion throughout the interior
in place of mportatons of merchandzo, have placed
the pending business upon the soundest possible basis
Stern necessity has for the last three or four years
compelled The practice ofthe most rigid oconomy'a land
the restoration going forward may be considered
as its fruit So aas business is concerned matters ap-
pear to be resumng their former channels,and more
cheerful and confident feeling pervades the commune

been made as low per cent, and from present
appearances the prospects favorable for consin-

lEFMr WEBsTER's Baltimore speech is calling
forth extensive criticisms from the Press. His idea
of regulating impost duties by treaty is generally
pudiatcd. Among The many notices of the speech that
have appeared, we copy the annexed, by the Trib-
une;
"AIr Webster argues against his own facts. He
shows clearly that we have been duped in cur Reel
procty Treaties, so called; that have lost by
them, and damaged our Navigating interest very Sc
rously and then he undertakes persuade US to in
volve ourselves far seriously after the same
fashion 1t is though n joker should say to SIM
pleton, "Nly clever fellow you have put your hand
into the lions cage and had couple Of fingers bitten
off: suppose you try the experiment of putting
your head I'M / should MT wonder if you made
good spec by it, II strikes the experimenter, if
not too great a smpleton, would answer, "No,
thank you sir; I have got enough Of that-I'm per-
fectly satisfied
.Mr. Webster is eminenty right in saying that the
Country ought to settle upon some clearly defined
Commercial Policy, and stick TO IT, Why does he
not respect his own conviction? We have admi
rabe Tariff now--adj usted with great anxiety and
care, after months of earnest scrutiny and debera-
ton by an able Secretary Of the Treasury, and three
Of the best Committees ever formed in Congress-
Every Home Interest was regarded and cherished in
its formation. 1t is working well; raising the Coun-
try from the depths Of bankruptcy and depression;
filling the land with the Specie it greatly needed,
and paying off our Foreign Indebtedness by millions
per month. Why not stick to it , Why put every
thing to sea again? Why "unnerve every working
mans arm" by rumors of changes and revolutions to
be effected by arrangement 20
"We could not make an arrangement for more
extensive trade with Great Britain which would not
be damage to this Country. If she produces any
thing we cannot, and which is useful to us, let us
take it feeIy-take it without arrangement and let
her do the same by As 20 the articles which one
nation produce well the other, let each fab
ricate for ITSELF If our Tariff is defective, let amend
it, but at Washington, not at London

;UPThe Wig Convention, the notice Of which
received last week barely in season to insert ii,
though it is to be holdeh at some distance from the
northern towns, should not therefor be neglected.
1t is important, and we trust that such will be the
case that there be as many towns represented from
the northern counties possible under the crcum-
stances; and to effect this it will be necessary that
the Wings in each to should select two indi-
viduals delegates, and is common in such cases.
share the expenses of the journey with them. Gov
Paine us we understand the matter, has sgnifed to
his friends his intention Of declining the nomination;
therefore n new tnan must be selected, and who that
man shall be is quite important to the continued sue
cess Of Wing principles in the Mountain State. lie
should be man of talents, prudence and judgment;
also who will unite in his support all the true
Wings Of the State-not like the stall fed aristocrat
put up this year by opponents-but true & gen.
uine republican. Such men we have-who true
and goed-and such a man we must have for
next Governor. Upon whom the nomination is likely
TO fall is to us very uncertain. We have heard
ed, Gen. JOHN MArrocKs, 1t. Gov. CAMP, lIoR-
ACE EVERETT, and the Hon. WILLIAM SLAD E, all
true and good men; and the one who will most cor
daily unite the Wings is the to be selected.to be
triumphanty elected by the people.

which occupied one hour and twenty minutes in its
delivery, altogether of commercial character
He seemed avoid studiousy all reference to polti-
/ cal matters. About hundred gentlemen were

| notice appears in the Boston papers calling
meeting to make arrangements to give MIR Webster
n public reception on his arrival at Boston.
In his speech at Baltimore Mr. Webster urges the
importance Of pernanency in our impost duties, and
to make them thus he thinks they should be settled
by treaty spulations principles Of mutual reeipro
city, between and other nations. The speech ia
more particularly interesting to commercial mon than
to any other class Of men.

the FIRST principles of morality. and that it is
exceedingly moral to be dishonest. And we

We expect, however, that the repudiating
candidates for Office will canvass the State
