Burning Bibles.

The following keen satire, from a correspondent,
of the Troy Wing is review Of the Roman Ca,ho
lie Bishop Hughs Circular respecting the late burn
ing OF Protestant Bibles at Champlain N. Y. We
commend it to the attention OF our readers.
The Bishop says, ~ lose not a moment to ex.
press through the medium of the public press the
indignation with which condemn the proceedings
there reported, so far as the same NAV turn out TO
DE true, AS the whole account to which he al
ludes has turned out to be true" the Bishop has
already had full scope for indignation" in refer
ence 10 this act of outrage against God, ard the

hearor read declaration which seems strange, and
somewhn, unaccountable taken in connection with
tn" person who u,ters it, and the circumstances in
which 1t is uttered, am disposed to pause little

not say that Bishop Hughes did not feel all that
indignation of which he speaks IN, say, it is
very strange If he did. Were | a Roman Cath
oile Bishop. would make no such defamation
would cherish no such indignation :" and
Will assign my reasons
Such Bibles MS were burned at Champlain.
were hereticai Books and for burning books Of
this character there is good authority in the Cath
Ole Church. In note, in the Rhemish Testament
on Acisig; ip--Svo have the following "A Chris
tan man is bound TO burn or deface all wicked
books Of what sort soever, especially HERETIcAL
books" 1 know Catholics, when they are hard
pushed, deny the authority of this Rhemish Test
ament but j, was prepared and published by the
authority Of the jesuit College at Rheims and an
Edition including the old Testament translated
by the same authority at Doua, was published a,
Dublin, in 1916 under the direction Of all the
digntaries Of the Roman Hierarchy of ireland
and nbou, three hundred others Of the mos, inhu.
entail subordinate priests Why, then. should
the Bishop be so indignant because a priest Of the
Romsh Church has done what "Chrisftan man

WOOL AND THE TARIFF.

Mr.. EDIToR,-As this is the season when
sales to large amount are made in that sta
pie commodity, of which Vermont can boast
of producing more in proportion to her pop
ulation, or extent OF territory. than any other
State IN the Union, would it not lie well to
caution the producers of this article, who
are certainly entitled to the benefits of the
highest prices, to beware that the manufact-
urer and the speculator do not get the van
tage ground.
Aside from log rolling and Office seeking
politicians, all political parties in Vermont,
are satisfied with our present judicious ia
riff. A tariff which the writer Of this article,
although lccofoco, in the common accep-
tation Of the term, cannot directly or in'iI-
rectly vote for its repeal. Nor will the
northern and eastern member of either party
Tor political, or any other purpose, dare to
unite in the next Congress with the domi.
nsering insolencs ofthe south. to check, and

TARIFF.

The Salem papers say the shoe business
at Lynn, was never more fourishing and
prosperous than at the present time. Every
workman is fully employed, and wages have
risen to the average which they have main
tanned for the last few years.
We have in this fact another evidence of
the beneficial effects of the tariff. Had it not
been for that measure, boots and shoes from:
France and Germany would have flooded
this country, and those who are now employ
ed in the manufacture, at high wages, been
compelled to work COR low wages, or to come
upon the parish for support. And yet we
will venture to say that two thirds of the
Lynn shoemakers are Locofoc os, and direct
ly hostile to the system which puts the bread
into their mouths. Sc inconsistent is human
nature so ungrateful ale the mass of man
kind to those who ale their greatest bene
factors.
Had it not been for the stand taken by the
Wing party liz Congress in behalf of the ia
riff, the condition of this country at this
time would have been wretched in the ex-
IRENE. The worthy Lecofoco shoemakers
of Lynn instead of receiving their 50 per
day, and Partaking of 6. roast beef" or what
ever other comforts they may have a taste
for, as they now do, would either been thrown
out OF employ altogether, or if EN- ployed,
been PAID but mere fraction of what they
are now paid. Is it any more than lust rhen.
that they who passed the tariff should cali
upon those who are especially benefited by
it, and request their support and encourage
ment to perpetuate the same?
The tariff is threatened by its opponents
with repeal. And although to repeal it
would be to commit an act Of such utter and
inexcusable madness. as has hardly been par
aleled in the history oflegislation, yet when
we reflect upon the total abandonment Of all
principle and all regard for the welfare of
the nation, which hath over and over again
characterized the legislation ofthe Locofoco
party. we cannot conceal the appalling truth
that the continuance of the present tariff is
greatly endangered by the present aspect of
affairs.
The next house of Representatives will,
in all probability. contain majority of Lo-
cofocos; and although the Senate will prob
ably contain a small majority of Wings yet
it is to be feared that few Southern Wings
in that body cannot be depended upon should
the question of repeating the tariff actually
come before them. The danger which threat
ems the tariff seems therefore to be imminent;
