We publish the above article a, the solicitation o
gentleman who is known TO us, and !. what h,
processes to be locofoco in his politics and far
mer We may add moreover that he is a gentle
+ man for whom we have no other feeling than that
respect and in whose character we have seen mucl
to like. We do no, feel competent to advise tn
farmers OF Vermont as TO the proper time Of sellin
their produce, and indeed we have found that The
need but little advice from any one in regard to ma,
tiers Of policy. To this highly respectable and in
telligen, class C. himself belongs and therefore hi
suggestions are entitled to consideration. Wit
his views in tho above article we IN the main mos
cordially assent. We do expect great things from
the operations of this much abused aud we fear i'll
fatsd tariff. We thank C. that, while the locofoc'
press are literally deuging the country with thei
'free-uade' doctrines and assaing this 'Blacl
tariff with all vehemence, he has the honesty an
magnanimity TO give his voice in its favor. We viii
only add that cannot answer his questions in AM
way to DroVn doubts, as to the danger Of trust
ing this tariff to the hands of the Locos We thin
Locofoco politicians dare do almost any thing il
the way of trade. We cannot forget that but on
Locofoco in Congress from New England, on its Fl
nal passage, voted in favor of this BILL while erer
one from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Soutl
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee
Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Ohio, Ind
ana and Mississippi, voted against it. This wa
coming to the rescue with a vengeance
