would have been safe to offer bribe of any sort.
! The People were quite too much in earnest for
any thing of that sort.
But illegal voting Well, sirs, where2 We
have not vet heard where the first Illegal vote was
poled to make Gen. Harrison President Doubt
less there were a few on each side-we are sure
fewest on ours, because the raw material for lIege
| voters is ten to one against us-but ooih parties
were too active to prevent Illegal voting, ana ours
too confident to think ofresoring TO IT. The only
evidence in support OF the charge OF illegal voting
is the fact that the vote vas very heavy. But did
| not every one know it would be SO, months before
the Election That was inevitable; still the vote
was in no State equal to the number of legal
voters, and it was highest IN Neu- Hampshire
and in the Loco-F Foco portion Of that State; merit
highest in Illinois, also Loco-Foco We need
say nothing more on this head. If there be any
evidence that the Wing vote was corrupt, it is
high time it were given. But the charge is grossly
false.
There remains nothing to countenance the de-
falnation of the People by the ex-Presdent and
his hackers but the fact that the Wings built Log
Cabins and talked of Hard Cider'-provoked in
each case by the unwise taunts OF thciropponents.
That they drank more of any thing hard than
their opponents is not in evidence and we do not
believe it, vastly superior as they were in numbers
But they built Log Cabins, and what of it Did
that circumstance change Loco Focos to Wings
Wpb b.,,n 1o,,h{ tho of uoO6 hDt
it was what was said in Log Cabns-the facts
and arguments there adduced IN favor OF a change
in the National Policy-that did the work. II
we have not Log Cabins, we shall doubtless find
some places in 1874 to expose the mschiefs of
Tyler Loco. Focoism as we we did those of Van
Burensm in 1910
Let not, then, the defamcrs Of the Peoples YER
dict in 1910 lay the hattcring unction to their
souls that they shall obtain reversal Of that
dict in 1874. On those who choose to proclaim
themselves fools, drunkards and swindlers in 1910
they may make some imprcssion but on the
Twelve Hundred Thousand Freemen who sober
y, earnestly and patriotlcaly voted for Gen. Har-
rison and change of Public Measures in 1910,
their abuse must have an effect opposite to that
they would seem desirous of producing. These
will be but animated to greater exertions to vindi-
cate their fair fame and to show that in $40 they
acted deliberately, nteligently, and in the spirit
Of Freemen.
D- The Ecening Post is arguing that the
Manufacturers will soon get sick of Protection.
Why so? Why, the Iron Works at Saugcrties
have stopped! Of course, they only need open
ports for the introduction Of European Iron as
ship-baast to set them going merry again
If there is any body 50 dull as not to know
that Manufactures may be made losing busi
ness under any sort of Tariff, by injudicious oca
ton, production, &C., why then that body's
: experience is likely enough to be severe IN
deed. We can't yet make the Post understand
that the Tariff was not enacted for the special
benefit of Manufactures or of any other class
Its case is the melancholy one wherein an lnvete-
rate perseverance in asserting what is mistaken
has led not merely TO belief in it, but almost to
an oblivion to the fact that any one believes 9TH
eryyise.
The Post has tender in Ulster County which
thinks this stoppage OF Iron Works is an argu-
lIleuL dydlhSt al UtSh.--
neighbor, how loW Protective Tariff is it not an
argument against? Do come out OF the fog,
and let us know what you mean.
II The american is too hard upon the cere-
mony of kissing the Ladies which was performed
by President Tyler at several places during his
recent progress. 1t strikes us that If young
damsels do not object to being kissed before
folks by widower of ffty-six no one else has
any right to demur. John Jones's malaprop IN
quiry whether they kissed the man or the office
will of course make some of them feel rather
qualmisl, but they must rcmemberthat 1t is John,
and that stupidity is way he has. Our ncighbor
should let the girls alone despite the Presidents
bad example.
GE- The New Hampshire Loco Focos at their
late convention bravely resolved that they are
opposed to HIGH Protective Tariff. Very luni
nous and definite. They appear to have forgot
ten to resolve that they are opposed to high
pile Of boards or a high wind. The Chiyalry
of South Carolina must delight in such manful
allies.
The Vice Presidency.
