Repeal Of The Union. Not of cur Union but oil

which has kept eight millions Of u noble race of
people III bondage second only to that Of the A

Britain it is the struggle, perhaps the last strug-

and the rescue OF The Irish people from their most
ieporable and degrading condition. O'Connelis

venge for The wrongs so long inflicted upon her
no separation from the empire but she does
seek the restoration of the Irish parliament, and

merous meetings have been holden in n. York,

{" The Anti Bible Ticket elected" Such are the
strange words used in giving the result OF recent
election in New York city just as though the
Bible mad been the object of political strife and
was outvoted, or voted out And this, ineasuraby,
is true The Catholics in New York object TO
having the bible read by their children, AMI there
fore must keep either their children the bible
from the public schools. They choose the latter,
and in the recent election of school commission
ers there were tickets for and against excluding
the Bible from the schools. The former was sue.

lion decided Without reference to politics, but ii
was not entirely successful "The Bishops men,
we apprehend, were brought out en- masse. We
understood some days. ago, that measures had
been taken TO secure this point" We quote from
the Journal OF Commerce the Bishops men"
constitute the catholic party, and we infer that
;hey were brought into play with The locoiocos.

The coons have vast deal TO say about the
democrats being opposed 10 protection. We adj
nit that some, nay many, OF them are. The en-
tin South, without distinction of party, are op-
posed 10 protection. MIR. Calhoun and this class
of men generally advocate horizontal tariff
that u.s. an equal rate of duty upon all imports, and
il is estimated that il would require go or 25 per
cent. duty to raise The revenue sufficient to deiruy
the expenses OF government Now we ask tho
wool-growers OF Vermont how much they would
lose by exchanging MIR. Tyler and the late Con.
gress Tor Mr.. Calhoun aud Congress of his faith
On cheap wool, which comes in competition with
the average of Vermont wool, aud is about lie
only wool that is imported, there Is Il duty Of 5
per cent. Should Calhoun and his party prevail
the duty on and ine wool would be The
same, probably % per cent How mneh should
we lose P ". Patriot.
The above is copied and so far endorsed, by
the North Star. Gentlemen, are you ondeayoring
TO prepare the Vcrmontcrs to swallow Calhoun /?
Is il with you, as With him who prayed good
Lord or good Devil'--not knowing into whose
hands he might fall 4? At any rate, the Patriot is
mistaken in two points. In the first place, the av.
erage duty ON foreign wool is now about double
the 20 per cent? which the Patriot thinks a hori-
zontal tariff would give. The wool. growers
would therefore lose equal 10 about 25 per cent
OF the value of tho foreign wool imported. In
the second place, the Patriot mistakes Mr.. CAL
houn. He is in favor Of discriminating Tariff
but discriminating only for revenue. See extract
from the South Carolina address, in another col.
umn.] This is worse Than horizontal Tariff, be.
cause protection is entirely excuded-the great
point being 10 get revenue, not by high duties on
small importations, for that gives prolection-but
by small duties on large mportations. To this
plan free trade with large foreign importalons is
essential, thus running domestic manufactures
All this is embraced in Cahouns plan. How
then, would it fare with wool? Wen tell you
British cloths would cover the land, and there
would be just no demand at all Tor WOOL

WOOL.

hOOLt
We notice an article going the rounds Of tho
locofoco newspapers, from S. W. Jeweu of Wey-
bridge. He has had the reputation of being an
intelligent farmer, and we are sorry that he should
suffer that reputation 10 be furnished by the mis-
takes and gross absurdities by which the article in
question is characterized. For instance, he as
serts that the new Tariff is calculated ito reduce
the price OF our wool, instead of protecting u.s."
and bases this position upon the ground that the
cheap foreign wool is not sufficiently guarded a.
gnnst We fully agree in the premises. The du-
ties upon foreign wool certainly are not high
enough and be it remembered that for that, the
northern iocofocoS, toith ucry JetO ercspons are
entirely responsible. Our Wing representatives
were faithful, though unfortunately unsuccessful.
| But the conclusion of Mr.. J. ia utterly absdfd. -
Though the duties are not high enough, they are
sill far higher than they would have been had The
old law continued and therefore the tendency of
the new tariff clearly is TO increase prices. The
fact is, that Inadequate us he duties Oh foreign
wool, they have sill diminished foreign importa
tions 10 a vast amount as is shown 10y the follow
ing statement OF imporlaons at Boston:
From Sept !, lail, to March 81, lbs .y y9Iuc e.
1872 there was imported 3,SJ2,pD Sl3f,ll
isi3, thcro was lmpoltcd EaAi5 500
Making difference of 2,3o,ojj sl72loo
Here it will he seen that the importation OF the
low priced wool has fallen off more thin four
ftihs in quantity and nearly seycn-eighths in val
ue during the first seven mouths alter the new
tariff But why are not prices increased? Be
cause of the immense stock OF foreign wool i'm
ported in the year previous to The l., Of last Sept
before the new Tariff went into operation be
cause there now ut east two full clips, und W.
think nearly hrec of domestic wool on hand
because locoiocOsm has raised tc cry Of d" re
peal repeal " and has n MINORITY in the mex
Congress, thus crushing all confidence Of nauu
iaciurers for the future. These are ample reason,
for depressed prices and they indicate the RENE
dy. The wool-growcrs must put down locoloco
ism, md sustain the long-lried and raight.f for
ward friend, Of Protection.
