Cause and E6ect.-We have observed for ssSe-
raj weeks that the columns of the Spirit OF the
Age aviruent locofoco sheet, published at Wood
stock, W. 10y the Tyler Postmaster, Mr.. Caleb G.
Eastman, have been filed with coarse abuse of
the Faculty aud Corporation of the University of
Vermont at Burlington. We have looked CAFE
fully Tor some definite charge of NAL conduct
which might at least give show OF plausibility
10 an attack so gross aud so out Of Mr.. Eastman's
proper sphere. But the point of the charge seems
to lie that the authorities of the ,otoa permit those
students, who are legally qualified to do So TO
pote az the election, although they possess no
property qualifications which this lcliy iocofoco
editor deems essential, as lll his Old master, MIR.
Van Buren,, in the New York Convention. From
what we CT gather, the real cause of the editors
grief may be found in these two facis,-that he
was expelled from The University some few years
since for disregard of his duties and for general
immortality; and, secondly, that he was not allow
ed 10 deliver speech 10 the students in coDnec-

JUNIUS ON THE TARIFF.

A pamphlet has been published by the author
| OF the "Crlsis OF the Country" circulated in
1910. The following is the authors summing up.
The propositions are clear and distinct and should
be pondered upon.
WHAT WE HAVE PROVED.
| 1t will probably be admitted that the following
things, among others, have been established:
l. That the great bulk OF the trade of this coun-
try is domestic
2. That buying too much in our foreign trade
has been the cause Of all our commercial and
currency difficulties.
3. That it is impossible that such difficulties
should arise from the action of domestic trade.
a. That this buying too much draws the specie
out OF the country, aud undermines the currency
D. That the only way TO prevent this buying
too much is to establish aud maintain restrictive
aud protective policy.
g. That the only parties benefited by this i'm
mensc injury TO the country, ure foreign govein
mentS, lOrdign manufacturers, and u lew import
ng merchants among ourselves.
Z. That we can never have foreign trade
profitable 10 the country, or otherwise thnn iDju
rious I'LL This practice OF buying too much from
foreign nations be suppressed.
.. That the importance OF foreign trade is com.
monty overraed, and that American self depen-
dencc is Il more safe reliance.
3. That the products of manufacturers are
cheapened, and the wages of labor enhanced, by
10 Thnt both American labor and American
capital are victims of European capital ond labor,
un The platform OF free trade.
H. That American freedom and independence
nre put in jeopardy by our foreign trade, as here.
totore conducted.
~ That the entire controversy is between the
rights OF American labor and the claims of Euro
pean drspolism.
IL. That we are a world in ourselves and have
no need 10 desire or seek a commerce with fore
elgn nations that will not render an equivalent
for that which we bestow,
Ia. That foreign trade unregulated, is compe-
tent to destroy both itself and domestic trade, and
that such isits tendency.
10. That domestic manufactures employ and
put into active and profitable use vast am cunt of
American capital, on which labor depends, and
that the grenter the number and extent of home
manufactures, the better the chances OF labor.
10. hat the commercial systems of Europe
are hostile 10 American interests and require
counIervang regulations.
IL. That the British policy contemplates the
revival of colonial dependence on our part, and
that such 10 the tendency Of the actual system of
trade between the two countries.
10. That II protective tariff is indispensable 10
our prosperity as nation, and is as truly patr-
otto measure, equally important TO all sections of
the country, and classes of American cizans, if
we except few importing merchants, leagued
with agents of foreign and hostile interests, who
ARE willing IN make their fortunes on the ruins of
great country And sundry other cognate re.
suits, for which we see the text.

loves me not-he loves me - he loves me not"-
only one leaf remained -"he loves"-the flower
was gently Withdrawn and the hand that held It
pressed pussionalely 10 the lips of noble looking
youth who had stolen unperceived around the
tree. "Lel me speak for the last leaf Lizzie" he
whispered, "He loves thee more than life Dear
one, may he believe his love returned" Lizzie
smiled through her tears-he drew her TO his
heart!

softly on the fair lableau then passed, and LETT it 10

husbands eyes, which were bent iondIy upon her,

Pleasant and comfortable, but simply furnished,
was The cottage in which The schoUlRhsltr and
his beautiful and happy wife passed the first few
months OF their marriage. But Charles grew
restless then, and he pursuaded Lizzie - who
could never resist his persuasions-to take little
journey with him.
In their own humble chaise, they travelled
through the delIgh Iful and richly cultivated couu-
try, and Lizzie was enchanted with almost all she
saw. There was but one draw back on her Ian

bic from chdhood-her sympalhes were too
powerful too allow her to behold poverty or mis-
cry IN any shape Without pang OF pity aud an
ardent wish 10 relieve il-and this her humble
means would not always allow her TO do AS she
passed some beggars on the road, 10 whom she

GREAT RACE TO COME oFF.-1he great Feyton
Stake, to be run for over the Nashville course ear
ly in October, appears to be exciting unusual in
terest umong the gentlemen of the turf II will

MEXICAN CARPETING.

The great advances, in every branch of manu-
iac'ure' shows what American ingenuity can do
whenever II has fair chance. 1t was boldly said
IN The British Parliament few years ago that We
could not compete with low priced foreign labor
and The superabundance of foreign capital; bur
"hner The action OF our present Tariff we have
already convinced foreign statesmen that we can
successfully compete with any nation, whatever
may lie lis moneyed power, or the price of wages
The progress we have made, in the manuiac

many proofs, OF the correctness OF these remarks

porous and independent of foreign countries He
talks like a good farmer, good planter, a good

we should all foster agriculture aud manufactures

and buy among ourselves, and buy httle
