THE DUTY OF WINGS. In view Of the n'o
mentous questions TO be decided by the approaching
election, il becomes the duty OF every Wing, nye,
every patriot to bestir himself and put forth Inns Mt
most inf "a ence make that dccision it should be
in favor Of the great Of the Wing party.
What, we ask the farmer, will be the value of his
lands, his ocks and herds, the fruits Of his toll, if
he cannot be protected in his industry and property
Reduce Tariff, and not only will the products of
the farmer he reduced and thrown out Of market By
lessened demand, but his farm also will depreciae
in value, and lie become poorer
And when the products of labor become lessened
in value the aborer suffers reduction of wages
Let the principles Of the Locoloco pnrty be carried
ont, and we have not only protection, but Texas
in the bargain with her in Congress ready 10
keep us out Of protection to our Industry, and slave
rule becomes the predomina,ing power of tie land.
Looking simply Mt this question, every farmer,
mechanic or laborer in whatever pursuit, is called
upon to he wide awake, not in politics simply, but
for self preSerpation,fo the protection of his hard
earned property, and his future labor.
The country is rising the people coming up

banner upon The outer 'caA!'
TIE DIFFERENCE. The locos of Washington
County recently held county meeting and nominal
ted Jacob Scott, jr. Of Barre and Roderic Richard
son Of Waitsfeld for Senators. They had out fam
ing call for a long time for mass meeting, and we
supposed from the great hurrnh they would have a
mighty gathering-and we learn il was quite respect
able in numbers yet, says the Waterman, it was moi
so large as the meeting of the Montpelier Clay Club
held the same EVENING" They CREASED Polk, Texas
and no-protection and swallowed the dose: Texas by
'ntimating that Annexation would tend TO abolish
slavery in the old States, SC. This is all humbup-
The most that be said under this head is might
open market for of the slaves of the old States
draw off few and lessen the number, but not abol-
sh it, But this is the way the leading Northern To-
cos have concluded to smooth down the NATTER hop
