HOW TRUE.-Daniel Webster was one of COM
mitee who reported the following resolution, among
others, at meeting in Boston, in. 1920:
"Resolved That we are equally incapable Of diseov
ering its he prohbitOry Tariff effects upon agriculture
since the obvious consequence Of its adoption would be-
thai the farmer must give more for all he buys, and re.
ceiyes less for all he SELLS"

/ Dear SiE-I hasten to lay before you, as far as our
own knowledge extends, the resu Of urelection in our
county.
The democratic townships, so far have done nobly,
and the whg townships, so far, but mtseraby. Tod is
"a ahead and three townships TO hear FROM which gave
last year. about 100 whig majority We hear that the
wings had moi their usual success in these townships
Yesterday and if such be the ease Tods majority will
be from 10 to 90 in the COMMUNICATING gain since
last year OF about so votes If they gan we are lost
but we have had every thing but Hi itself to fight
against, and but one or two Of US to dbi If weard
defeated it cannot bel by more han votes. The wings
claimed IL majority. Hurrah for Tod II other coun-
ties have done asweil as ours he is elected. We will
give Polk majority Of 30 in November.

COON DRAGGING BEFORE ELECTION.
/ We can get some clue to the wo-begone faces OF the
wings the great democratic vote in Ohio, from the
following from the New York Tribune, just received:
A letter from wen Informed, but sangune, friend

months that Ohio is just as safe as Vermont or Con-
necticu, From the very best data within my reach
entertain no doubt of the election of Mr.. Barley by
majority OF from 7 to 10000 votes. We may go ovel
the highest figure, but have the sangest conviction
that we cannot gotelow the lowest"
The calculation they put forward was THIRTEEN
