OUT AT LAST.

The Editor of the Star in late editorial
on the subject of the Tariff says, that the
democrats as a body favor no higher tariff
than is simply sufficient for revenue purpo>
ses. This tells the story just as we always
supposed il to be, viz: that our neighbor
next west and his party generally are hos
tile to protective tariff. making pro-
lection the incident and revenue the primd-
ry object of a tariff" says the Star, ''the
Democrats are generally DESTROYS that all
branches of American industry should be
equally encouraged" Now, we have So
good an opinion of the intelligence of man.
kind in general that we believe there is no
man, who knows anything upon the subject,
but that knows, that tariff "simpy suBf'
Gent" for revenue purposes affords no pro-
lection whatever to American industry, and
that making protection incident to revenue
instead of giving equal protection to all
branches of American industry, gives abso
lutely no protection to any branch thereof.
The Star says, the democrats "are willing
that the farmer should receive his share Of
protection as we'll as the manufacturer, the
artizan and the mechanic" Wonderful
man does not the farmer receive double
benefit by protective tariff, first by the
direct duty laid on foreign agricultural pro-
ducts, and again by the brisk home market
created for his wool and other products
whenever the manufacturers begin to opc.
rate and require them for their own con-
sumption ? Away with such a system. 1t
is a high Protective Tariff that we need in
Vermont, and not virtual free trade under
the delusive name of incidental protection.

will exceed the most sanguine expectations
of the Clay men in the State. In the prin-
cipal streets, spread 10 the breeze, was the
star spangled banner, with these simple
notices, "HARRY OF THE WEST" and
HENRY CLAY"
At about o'clock A. NJ. the delegations
began to arrive. some on horseback, some
in carriages, some in five and six horse

Church, in the afternoon at the Reformed
Dutch, and in the evening at The First Pres.
byterian Church; appearing to be in good
health and cheerful spirits, after his weeks
fatigue, which, from Buffalo to this, has
been a scene of continual excitement and
we may add, of honorable triumph to an
honorable mind and a grateful heart.

expressed as the general wish of our citizen:
meet and exchange gratulations with them

ScoTcH DEPUrATIoN TO AMERICA We
learn by letter from Robert Baird, dated
London, June 22d, in the N. Y. Observer,
that the seceders from the established
church in Scotland, are about to send del.
egation to this country for pecuniary aid
DIR. Baird had returned from first visit to
Scotland where he was surprised TO find the
seceders, now organized as "The Free
Church Of Scotland" so numerous and ma
king such progress. Already 40 pastors
had given up their places, and he thinks
the number of congregations will soon reach
700. The Wesleyans and other Indepen-
dents in England render them friendly aid.
Upward of a milH1n of dollars had been
subscribed in the Kingdom to enable them
to build churches, found a Seminary. &c.
But much more is needed. Some 80 young

Silent are man and beast-no slightest breath
OF AR stirs wave or tree, or shrub, or leaf
No minstrel bird gives vent to joy or grief
No noisy insect tunes its rough shrill song
No echOing woods the brooks light sound prolong
On placid lake, in vale, on verdant hill,
In sky and air, Natures deep pulse is still
AT such an hour, when clouds of every hue,

Looks down upon this earth with lustless eye,
And longs for purer, sweeter, nober rest!

John Smith.

The LOcotOco convention, which met iIf
this place on Tuesday last to select can
didate to be voted for by the party as Il
representative for congress from this Dis
trict, nominated the Hon. John Smith Of
St.Albans.-It gives us pleasure to rccip-
rocate the civilities of our neighbor of the
Sentinel, towards Mr.. MARSH, by admit
ting, as we do most cheerfully, that SO far
as we know any thing Of him personally.
Mr. Smith is a gentleman of irreproach-
able character in his private life. I'm ma
king this admission, we hold oursclf at
the canvass his political opinions and his
public conduct with perfect freedom.-
This privilege We presume Mr.. Smith
would himself be last to deny us -and we
shall accordingly Pay our respects to him
as politician at our earliest convenience
But though WE are not prepared to dis
cuss his claims as public man this week.
we have collected several extracts from the
writings ofhis political friends which show
with sufficient distinctness, in what estima-
ton he is held by them. And in the first
place we ask the attention Of our readers
to the following extract from an address of
the Democratic" district convention held
in August, 1884, which address was
signed by I77David Smalley, of this
town, n. J.. Whittemore, of Swanton, and
DR.. Dcming Of Milton, patent democrats
of the most approved brand. The follow
ing is its language:
ale, (Mr. Smith, belonged to the old
Fsderat party, was the opponent and revil
or Of Jefferson and Ma,iisOa-the strenu-
Gus opposer of the last war, and found ex-
erting all his influence to thwart the gov
eminent in the prosecution of it: and if Xc
may Judge from his past political co1rsd
he has not discarded the principles by
which he was then governed. '-Democrat-
&c Address, AHg. 1884.
Such is the testimony of democratic
convention composed of the leading men
from all parts CT the district, men familiar.
it is to be presumed, with Mr.. Smiths
character and early history. But this is
not ALL Our neighbor of the Sentinel,
whose democracy no one will doubt, endor-
sed this opinion of the democratic conven-
ton in the following words
"John Smith was opposed to the last war
"has altcqys been a rank federalist, and ii
"he did not live to oppose the election and
administration of Thomas Jefferson, he
''has rendered himself equally culp1ble
"with those who did, by jealous opposl-
"tion throughout his whole political career
''to Jeffersonian principles. Will the wrI'
"ter or editor of the Journal deny this T.
"Why has the writer lin the FranklinJoaT-
"naI) with such jesuitical 6nesse, passed
"over the charge of federalism made npon
"Mr. Smith in the address! Does he think
"that the democratic freemen viii be Dc
"ceived BY this puerilc attempt at white.
washing his former political character.

who arrived Just now in the Southern train,
states that Gov. Wickliffe, Postmaster Gen,
eral, while on board the steamboat, with
his family, returning from Norfolk to Wash

it is said, of the late Assistant Postmaster
General. What the result Of the wound
would be, whether fatal or not, could not be
ascertained when the boat arrived at Bal

board the boat. We have no doubt that
these circumstances are substantially true.

EMIGRANTs AND IMMIGRANTs.-About
1870 Wyandot Indians from the northern part

and are now on their way to the Indian
country, west of Missouri, where lands are
given TO them by Government. and by trea-
ty $4,000 has been appropriated to pay the
expenses oftheir journey. They will trav.
ell by steamboat to Westport, on Missouri
river. and thence on foot and by wagons
to their new home. About one.third are
children under IL years ofage.
