In fact the gain is far more than this; we think
the quantity already sold this year must be nearly
equn to TWO clips, and tina, the actual gain to the
farmers, by the operation of the Tariff on wool
alone, has very far exceeded The above SUN.
Finally the Patriot thus "sums up the whole
matter"
$40 sum up the whole matter: The very man
ner in which this wool was bought shows that il
the effect, not Of The tariff, but OF II combna-
ton Of the manufacturers, or spectators, to pur-
chase all, nearly all, tho wool in the country, al
a low price, at once-at blow. Suppose you The
tariff could produce this effect ?-cUuld cfeate
wool buyers in all parts OF The country at once !?
Magical indeed !"
That is, The increased demand for wool is all
owing to the demand for ii! But how came the
manufacturers 10 make this rush for wool, and to
increase their prices? Why should they make
rush TO buy up the wool "at low price, at once
at a blown" We can tell the Patriot that it was
The Tariff which revived manufactures, and thus
created this active demand for domestic wool, -
it is the Tariff which has essened the foreign i'm
portions, and so far compelled the manufacturers
10 take the domestic. And we can also tell that
print, that If the manufacturers have now made a
rush to buy at low prices it is simply because
they know that The Tariff is Gaity operating 10 in
crease prices. They clearly see, what the Patriot
is so unwilling to acknowledge, that under this
Tariff wool has already advanced 20 per cent, and
that il probably will advance still more. Indeed,

THE OLD TRICK.

For year the locoloco editors in Vermont have
been grossly abusing our delegation in The last
Congress, especially in reference their lobors in
behalf of the wool-growers. Mr.. Slade has most
conclusvely rebuted these accusations, by stating
the facts and publishing the correspondence with
The Secretary Of the Treasury. This statement
he requested the locooco editors TO publish Tor
the Information of the people. They OM not do ii ,
Remember, that these same editors suppressed the
proceedings Of Congress on ,oool, when that sub.
ject was considered in the House. Wool growers

These are certainly Ineligible issues.

These are certainly Ineligible issues.
Questions of State policy seem hardly to be
alluded to. The debt of Tennessee is small and
taxation light. Their public works of iuterna
improvement have been suspended for the las
three years. and so far as we can learn, neither
party propose resumption. This being the case
politicians are forced to take issue on National
questions. The election of ten members of Con
gress probably adds to this current.
We perceive that clear-headed and uncompro-
missing reformer, Cave Johnson, is in nomination
for Congress- and, we trust, to be elected; for he
is one of the most useful men in that body. No
kind of public extravaganza either of friend or
foe, meets hisapproval. Such legislators, are in
valuable.
AS to the result of the canvass we cannot speak.
AS usual, before the battle, the wings glory in
their triumph. The democrats make no preten-
sion, but moved by that steady energy which ever
impels men actuated by fixed principles, they
march on, if not with certainty, at least with the
cheering confidence that they deserve the victory.
