In Justice to Tennessee, we ought to
say, the campaign of eighteen hundred
and fosty-four was really opened by her
last August, when the thunder tones OF
her victory aroused the Wings from their
apathy, all throughout the Union. A sue
cession of defeats brought on by the dis
traction caused by the Vetoes, had induced
the Wings to let the elections 60 by de-
fault in all quarters. The Wings OF Tenn
essee changed this policy, and thoroughly
aroused the party and from that hour 1t
has been marching of steadily from VIC
tory. Who can doubt the result The

THE RESULT.

Since the campaign OF 1874 has opened
elections have been held in ten States,
which have been well contested; and as
far as they so, we are willing to take
them as the test Of public sentiment
There have also been partial elections IN
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and other States,
70 fill vacancies in Congress, that show a
still more decided Wing gain than the
general elections in the States. They all
indicate unerringly the complete triumph
of the Wing party when MIR, CLAY takes
tie field. We have not shadow Of doubt
rbat his majority will b. as large,if not lar
ger, than Gen. Harrison's. We give this,
not as idle boosting, but as our opponents
10 show any change of public opinion, as
indicated by the elections, that have taken
place within twelve month, that can in-
validate this result. The only States that
voted for Harrison. in regard to which any
doubt can be felt as to their voting for Mr..
Clay are Maine, Michiganand Mississippi,
that give 90 votes 10 offset which there is
much reason to expect that Virginia and
Arkansas, giving % votes, may vote for
Clay. But let US look at the States in

of grateful citizens whose lives, whose for

face of all this fearful array, the brave and
magnanimous Judge dared single handed
to maintain the supremacy of the law,

cannot but utterly despise the mean and
sycophantic hypocracy Of a certain class
of political adventurers, who blubber and
buster about doing justice to Old Hicko-

z. TARIFF IN DANGER.

@ Because they are protectionists, and
few loco leaders pretend they are in favor
of tariff for protection, many of our hon
est farmers of the loco party boldly deny that
their party as body is opposed to a tariff
No reference to congressional proceedings,
to the ayes and noes-to the avowals Of their
men in power, their public journals, and their
candidates for office, can produce the least
conviction upon their minds, steeled by pre-
judice, and blinded by the most cunningly
devised scheme of deception ever played of
upon popular credulity in the annals of po-
litcal intrigue. But we prophecy that few
days will make Developments of loco oppo-
sition to protection in the House of repres-
entatives which the father of lies himself can
not gainsay. 1t has been known for several
weeks that the House committee of ways and
means have been employed in framing rev
enue bill which is materially to reduce the
tariff. Letter writers say that Silas Wright
is the arch scheamer of this political conspir-
acy, and by retaining protection on Iron to
cOnciliate the support of Pennsylvania, hopes
to carry his reckless project even through the
senate. New England of course is to be
sold to the Egyptians by man who has ever
been an enemy to the tariff, and will ruin it
if possible.
Would that congress who, are carrying
dismay into the ranks of all business men and
whitening the hopes of the farmers, mer-
chants and mechanics, could be induced to
adjourn after transacting the indispensable
business of the session. Instead Of rioting on
the petty spells of Office TO the acquisition of
which we are sacrificed, the nation could
well afford to bestow upon each man Prince
dom. The loco House has done nothing but
engage in broils and brutalities, in trampling
upon the laws and constitution of the coun-
try, and are at last aiming a death blow to
the only vital measure Of prosperity which for
years has gilded the horizon of the nation.

One instance which has lately been made
public ought not to be suffered to pass without
the most pointed rebuke,-we allude to the
conduct of the loco foco candidate for State
Treasurer, CHARLES Fl. POND. This
man, it is stated by his townsmen, has been
busy in distributing the "Iiberty party" paper,
miscalled the " Christian Freeman" amongst
the wings, assuring them that it was ga very
good thing"
Did he circulate them amongst his own
party and endeavor to induce them TO vote the
Liberty ticket ?"-not he 1t was the wings
that he endeavored to have vote a third tick
ct; whilst those who were likely to vote for
the ticket on which has name stood as a can
didate heard nothing about the good thing
which he recommended to the Wings. MIR.
Pond is not alone in this thing; other loco
focos are exerting themselves to induce wings
to vote for the third party ticket. How in
sufferably mean and contemplate is such a
course.

GEN. JACKSON'S FINE.

The following communication from
Senator Phelps takes the right grounds in
relation to refunding Gen. Jackson's fine.
The laurels which encircle the brow of
the hero of New Orleans should be kept
forever fresh in the grateful remembrance
of his countrymen. But they should not
be interposed as a justification against one
of the most high handed attempts of the
military power to trample upon the civil
authorities of the country, that an Amer
lean Commander ever dared TO perpetrate.
Even were it constitutional for Gen. Jack
son to proclaim Marshal Law at the COM
mencement Of the campaign, no pretence
for its severity was left when Loualier was
arrested six weeks at least after the enemy
had been repealed, and long after the
news of peace had arrived. Severe should
be, and severe has been the penance which
this nation has paid for the servile homage
which they have rendered to the man who
flushed with the popularity of his military
renown, has done more to strike down the
laws, the constitution, the liberties and
the prosperity of the country, and debase
its political morality than whole genera
ton of successful reform can restore.

Hall from all censure, was highly honora-

DOINGS ON THE ODD.

Long will this day be remembered in the
annals OF the wing party, as the day on which
the first impulse was given to that spirit Of
union, organization, energy and perseverance
which secured the triumph of 1874 and rem
dered this the most free, prosperous and hap
Ply nation on earth. Throughout the whole
union it has been regarded as a day of Jubilee,
and devoted to enthusiastic gatherings of
thousands and tens of thousands ofpatriotic
wings, to band themselves together, envigo-
ratio each others resolutions, and VOW defeat
to the treacherous barterers of their country's
prosperity. 1t would almost seem that every
whig felt that the command Of heaven was

The FUNERAL. The awful calamity Of
the Princeton has struck the people of Wash
ington dumb at the extraordinary nature Of
this dispensation Of Providence; and it is trl,-
ly wonderful, that in his message to Con-
gress, communicating the sad event, John
Tyler makes no allusion OF the overriding
hand of God in relation to this appalling trag-
edy.
All the public buildings, all the great aven-
ues to the city are hung in the sombre habili-
ments of mourning. Thelegislative depart
ments Of government have suspended all bu-
siness until the dead are buried. The same
may be said of the other departments of the
government and the citizens, all sharing in
sorrow for the melancholy event, which has
at blow struck down so many eminent citi-
zens in high official stations. The papers are
filled with the details of the funeral obsequies
and furnish very little else. Our Congress
ional journal of course is meagre.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Under the new law, Agricultural SOcio-
ties have been formed in nearly every
county in the State. Cbittonden County
has already published a grand list of pre-
miums which together with the condI~
tons and regulations under which they
are to be claimed occupies four or hvo
columns in the Burlington papers. We
can hardly believe the farmers ofAddlson
County will be behind any in the Siaie'
in appropriating the advantages offered
for agricultural Improvements by the
bounty of the State. This paper contains
notice to the managers and agents 10
bring in their list of subscribers, to enable
the managers 10 announce the premiums
on the first of April if the amount of funds
should authorize them. Whether the 90
cietv shall be sustained or shall fail to the
utter disgrace of old Addison, depends
