sAFE-Jones is re-elected by an increased majority
and Of the members Of Congress elected are Wings!
Well done Tennessee! Nobly have the EoPLE re-
linked the unprincip ed conduct Of the actous thlr-
teen. The battle has been openly and boldly fought
for THE TARIFF and the U. S. Bank, and nobly has
the cause of good principles triumPhed over faction
treachery and Loco.Focoism. The Wings have
| elected FOURTEEN Senators, and the Locos but
eleven. This gives the Wings majority of THREE
in the Senate.
The House so far stands 80 Wings, 80 Locos; six
to be heard from, which will be equally divided but,
even if the Wings lose all, it cannot affect the result
The WHIes HAVE ALREADY ELECTED a MA
JoRIrY.
Better and happier than all this we have now the
mower to prevent the repeal of Of the wisest and
mos, beneficial laws that he found on tho Statute

serve, nviolute measure that has brought

pecuniary embarrassment and DISTRESS 10 state of
fair and honorable prosperity, We now hold
try with the precious metals-which has greatly
duced our foreign Indebtedness which has enabled
our commercial and manufacturing interests to
lieve themselves from the vast burthens with which
they were oppressed. The grand cry of "REPEAL
-REPEAL"-whic has been echoed and re echoed
from the LocoFoco ranks, will now be but as an idle
and Intellectual sound The present thrice blessed
Tariff system will be preserved, and protected from
the mercess angs Of the free trade LocoFocos. The
system will now become the settled policy of the
country. Blessings Blessings upon the noble Wings

preservation.

THE OLD "a MILLS STORY REVIvED-PAY-
ING DEAR FOR THE WHISTLE. While the Tariff

passed, the people were repeatedly told that ii
would afford no Protection. and especially to WOOL
We told by the ocofoco leaders that DOL would
be protected only % mills per pound, that Cacoes

The Tariff has operated one year Calicoes are 25

But in the mean time these locofoco writer's have
continued TO repeat their stories of Protection aud
so generally have they made their readers believe

estimate the value Of the article.
We have inquired into this matter some in this
quarter, and we know that in where locofoco
newspapers read almost exclusively wool buyers
have made their purchases, this year, on an average
20 per cent. chesper-or Whereabouts they did

at the markets and not at the q mills eleconeerng

The reply Of the wool seller TO s. w. Jewett the
"Weybridge Farmer,' as the locos call him, but a
locooco candidate for the Senate in Addison County

got for his wool "No SO much as 7 should if you
had minded your DUN Jusiness,' was the reply The
locofocos have, for political effect written down the
price of wool and we sincerely believe that from so to
100000 less money has been paid to the Farmers of
Vermont for WOOL on this account than they other

their leaders out of their votes and money out of their

These things the result Of the 81 mills locofoco
humbuggeries. The story teers may &c, votes, but
