o. The Freeman reiterates the locofoco lie in
reference to Mr. Clays arrival at New Orleans, and
skulks behind an admission made by the New
York Tribune before the facts were known
The whole story had been branded as lie, by COL
Bullitt of New Orleans, who met Mr.. Clay Oh land
ing and accompanied him to his lodgings-and
even the very locofoco from whose letter North
ern paper concocted the charge, had come out and
conradcted it; yet after all this the Freeman vir-
tually endorses u fllsohood by an antecedent, and
of course exploded, admission of New York cdi-
tor! This is a bad specimen of manlness, not to
say Of morality. At the same time the Freeman
claims that the Tribune admits that Mr.. Clay left
Louisville on Sunday and arrived at Mobile on
Sunday. What then? These pretended admis-
sions, Of a paper thousand miles from the scene
of the alledged events, prove nothing. The Tri
bune run before it was sent, as to the New Orleans
story-it was greatly at fault, and may prove G
qually mistaken in the other points. We again
say to the Freeman-Le sure you are right, else you
become the echo Of ocotoco libellers

On the day mentioned above the wife of Mr.

Home Manufactures Cheaper than F0rega.-Snco the manu-
ctuTe OF Cotton Goods commenced in this country 1876 the
prices have been reduced ON average about thirds Wool

Here are important truths-statements which
every man will see to be true when he compares
the present price of the article named with the
price forty years ago. Yet the Vermont Patriot
gravey tells us that the locofoco Tariff will sane
as much by reducing the duties according to the
Locofoco Tariff. I his is Free Trade doctrine and
false doctrine If true, with what grace can we
ask for duty on wool Snnposn that eynry body,
save the wool-growers, should adopt the Patriots
doctrine, and say-we can saUe ourselves something
By reducing The duty on wool: the Patriot COM
plain if they practice on its own preaching? And
this would ruin the wool-growers. Neighbor Pat
riot, away with this sort of humbuggery,-
preaching high duties on wool and low duties on
every thing else,-and come out, either a conss-
tent Free Trade man or consistent Protectionist.

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON

Recent advces from private but we'll informed
sources assure of the following important facts,
viz;
|. That John Tyler has defnitivey determined
to stand as candidate for President, on independ
ent grounds.
2. That Convention of his friends will assem-
bic in Baltimore on the 9th of May, and formally
present him for that office. Who will be his Vice
President?l
B. That he will run as the open, avowed advo.
cate of terminating directly the Joint Occupation
of Oregon and taking Military and Judicial pos
session of that region; also, of Annexing Terus
to the Union, and on such grounds appeal to the
People for support.
A friend suggests that he will probably get the
unbroken vote of Texas and Oregon, while the rest
will be divided between Clay and Van Buren,.

o. Some of the Locofoco papers aver that ].
Q. Adams and Mr.. Clay endeavored to purchase
Texas during ]. @. Adamss administration; but
this negotiation was by Mr. Adams, under Monroe
and Gen. Jackson in his recent letter, AYERS thai
Texas might have been had then, and blames Mr.
Adams for not taking It. This shows how near the
truth these Locofoco editors get
P.S Here's another but: the reply of Mr.. Ad
ans to Jackson was, (the complaint is an old one
now revived,) that, by order of Mr.. Monroe, tn,
treaty which excluded Texas, was submitted to Gen
Jackson for his advice, and he approved of ii. Thi
jackson denied, when Mr.. Adams produced hi
journal and proved the fact upon the General.
