the established duties. If that
were the case, the measure of
yearly fraud would be S4,4l3,-
326, and the yearly average
revenue of the custom-houses,
faithfully collected, ought to be ll,O33,3l6.
| know, from evidence not to be doubted,
that in certain custoin-houses the proportion
given by DIR. Mora was for years the correct
one-thc practice being that on the arrival
of every cargo, the merchant and the En-
ploy6 together made out a full calculation
of the whole duties lcviable thereon, the
total amount of which was divided into three
equal proportions, of which the first the
merchant had to pay to the per ured villain
and his p%crjured coadjutors; the second to
the plundered State or "Patria", and the
third he kept to himself, he being in reality
the worst off of the three, in having to run
the risk of low markets, bad debts, sc. SC.
before he could realize his share.

II The Devil of the Malone Palladium grinds
out some pretty good ideas sometimes, as will be
seen by the following, which was bolted through
after throwing in the Vermont election returns in
to the hopper.
Hurrah for Vermont and her evergreen hills
Hervallies of fruit and her murmuring rills,
The home of the freeman, the land of the brave,
The foe of all tyrants, and tyranny's grave.
Her sons, with song, came rallying out,
Her hills re-echoed the gathering shout,
Each valley sent up the watch-word and cry
'Hurra for our HARRY We conquer or die
And well was that signal with emphasis given,
As back from her soil were the enemy driven,
And FREEDOM reposes on hill-top-in vale,
As the twill of the People is borne on each gale.
Hurra for the Wings ofthe Green Mountain state,
orthey are victorious, their spirits elate;
Their hearts never falter their aurelS neer fade,
While woven and worn by the patriot SLADE.

Polk and TEXAS ALLY-If it be fair
to form an opinion, from their daily and
weekly contents, then it is certain that
it is the object of the miscalled Liberty
party journals to do as much injury to
the Wing, and as little to the Polk and
Texas party, as possible. Just in pro-
portion as the former resists southern en-
croachments, and the latter shows a dis
position to go at all lengths in support of
slavery, do these diSintcrcstcd and impair
tial journals anathematize Whigism, and
says little or nothing respecting Polkism

Democratic party, it having made an en-
tirely new issue with its old opponent.

GAMBLING-THE LOCOFOCO DEL.

The Locofoco delegation which left this
city for Lyons, on Tuesday enening, in the
canal boat, had paraded on deck large ban
ner representing, among other things Henry
Clay with pack Of cards. But their con-
duct ON the way proved the truth ofwhat had
been frequently asserted, that those most for
ward in repeating the ISLANDERS upon Mr. Clay's
character. are the most notorious gamblers
and blackIegs IN the community. No soon
err had the boat left the port than four card
tables were set, at which the democracy"

depravity, and who had upon deck such an
such an Infamous SANDER upon his character,

They also had bar on board at which they
frequently paid their devotions to the spirit
of Locofocoism, so that by the time they
reached Newark, the Democracy Of some OF
them was of the ''reeimg' order. This was
not all. After iufusing new spirit at Lyons
they came to the conclusion that cards were
too respectable for such company so they

MORMON NEws.-The Warsaw Sig
nal keeps apparentlya pretty keen eye up
on the Mormons at Nauvoo. That paper
states that Lyman Wright, one of the
leaders of the Mormons, has left Nauvoo
for the pine regions of the Wisconsin, with
about two hundred followers, comprising
the most reckless of the Mormon commu-
nifty.
Sidney Rigdon is said 10 have left for
Pittsburgh, and it is added that large
number of the English will soon follow
him.
Discussions are said to exist among the
Mormon leaders. Mrs. Smith, the widow
of Joseph Smith, is accused of withhold
ing the transfer of property belonging to
the Church, held in 10 Smiths name.
There was a rumor that she had purchased
property at Hampton, where Law and the
seceders reside.
Brigham Young preached sermon at
Nauvoo last Sunday, in which he said to
have ayowed the spiritual wife doctrine
a matter which had been charged upon and
denied by them.
The Temples going ahead with aston
ishing rapidity, great portion of the pop
ulation being employed upon it. The
leaders prophecy the re-apPearance of
Joe to consecrate and dedicate it to the
Lord, and TO hasten this event, the poor
fanatics are exerting themselves to the
utmost.

Surely, child why l long to see him ;
and did think 1 should see him once
more before l died.
At this instant the door softly opened,
and Charles approached, cautiously-in-
quiringly.
Mother said Alice, 'here-can you
look up? do you know who this is?
who is it, Alice-who is it T inquired
the half wild but still concious mother.
Mother softly whispered Charles, as
he kneeled down and kissed her cold
cheek, mother, my dear mother, oh, will
you-can you forgive your long-lost, but
penitent, broken-hearted childP
Charles, my dear Charles is it indeed
your said the now dying mother, at the
same time endeavouring to put her wan
and feeble arm around his neck. My
dear boy, you have come; yes, | said you

praise God. One question, Charles, and
l can die in peace-Is my boy penn

Mother said Charles, his tears nearly
choking his utterance, that Bible, and a
mothers prayers, have saved me. have
come, and in season to ask forgiveness.
Father, l have sinned against heaven, and
in thy sight, and am no more worthy to
be called thy son. Mother, my dear mo-
Their, and will you forgive me Also
Enough, enough said the departing
mother; yes, it is enough y her counte-
nance beaming, as it were, with seraphic
JOY.

go, my dear Alice, and publish it to the
mothers of the land, what have found
true-and will continue true as l"ng as
praying mothers exist
''1is loveing kindness changes not"
For few moments following, it was
tho't she had ceased to breathe; but she re-
vived sufficiently to press once more, gen.
tly, the hands of Charles and Alice and
then she was heard singing, in faint and
scarcely audible tone, those beautiful
lines which she had often expressed
wish that she might have occasion to
sing:
"Soon shall pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;
Oh may my last expiring breath,
His loving kindness sing in DEATH"
The prayer was answered. His loving
kindness. were the last sounds which
were heard. They ceased here only to
be resumed, and to be sung by the glori-
fed and triumphant saint before the throne
of God.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 25, 1924.

"Heaven smiled upon and gave us liberty
and independence; that same Providence
has blessed us with the means of national in
depence and national defence. If we omit
or refuse to use the gifts which he has extern
ded to US, we deserve not the continuance Of
his blessing. He has filled our mountains
and our plains with minerals-with lead, iron
and copper, and given us climate and soil
for the growth of hemp and wool, These
being the great materials Of our national de.
fence, they ought to have extended to them
adequate and fair protection, that our manu-
competition irith those of Europe, and that we
have within our country a supply Of those
leading and important articles so essential in
war.
81 will ask, what is the aIsituation of the
agriculturalists2 Where has the farmer
market for his surplus producel Except for
cotton, he has neither foreign or home
market. Does this not clearly prove then,
when there is no market either at home or
abroad, that there is too much labor EN-
ployed in agricultural Common sense at
once points out the remedy. Take from ag-
riculture in the United States six hundred
thousand men, women, and children, and you
will at once give market for more bread
stuffs than all Europe now furnishes us.
In short, strive haze been too long subject to the
policy Of British merchants, it is time we
should become little more Americanized,
and instead Of feeding paupers and laborers of
England, feed our own, or else in a short time
by continuing our present policy ICE shall be
reduced to pdupers ourselves. III is therefore
my opinion that careful and judicious Tar
if is much wanted to pay our National debt,
and to afford us the means of that defence
within ourselves, ON which the safety of our
country depends, and last, though not least,
give proper distribution to our labor,
which must prove benefcialto the happiness,
