county, wish to announce to our Democratic
friends that we have renowned Locofocosm, and
hereby declare our intention to support Henry
Clay and the tariff, and we go for Wing measures
out and out. We have voted with that party
styling itself Democratic God save the mark)
too long, but seeing there is no true Democracy
in them, we are constrained from a sense of duty
love of country, and desire to see the glorious
Republican institutions under which we live per-
petuated, to come out and abandon that party
with which we have heretofore acted, and to ar
ray ourselves hereafter against Locofocoism, and
upon the side of our common country and Clay,
FreDghuysen, Pratt, and the tariff of 40, and
we will use every honorable effort to secure their
elections. We are, gentlemen, with much re-

ANOTHER GREAT OUTPoURING OF THE PEOPLE
OF BALT1MoRE.-The last great rally of the Wings
of the different Wards took place last night, upon
the invitation of the Wings of the Tenth and
Twelfth Wards, at the junction of Greene and
Lombard streets, and we feel gratlfied at being
able to state that the turn out on the occasion
was larger than any similar meeting this season.
The speakers stand was erected at the south.
west corner of Greene and Lombard streets, and
was most tasefully arranged, being in the shape
of temple, with an open 'front.' 1t was hand
somely Illuminated with coored lamps, and most
beautifully decorated with wreaths of flowers,
flags, and appropriate notices.
On the northeast corner, along the Medical
University wall, on both streets, very fine stand
was erected, which was brilliantly lighted and
filled with ladies'. The windows of The houses
along several of the streets in the vicinity were
handsomely Illuminated, many Of them having
flags waving from them, and others being filled
with flowers.
The meeting was called to order by Major Ed
ward Spedden, who nominated the following Off
GERS:
President--Mic Warner, jr, Esq.
Vice Observation-Disclosures l.. Wood, and VIM
R. Fisher, Esq.
Secretaries-Joscph Trimbe, jr. Elliott Old.
Poor, Esqs.
After the organization of the meeting, the Pre-
sIdent announced that, as the assemblage was so
very large, it would be addressed from another
point as well as from The decorated stand. Hon.
John 7. Kennedy was then introduced to the
meeting. and commenced very spirited address,
while John McKim Duncan, Esq, addressed the
people from post in Greene street, above
Lombard.
Several distinguished advocates of the cause
were also present, among whom we noticed Rev.
erdy Johnson, George Il. Richardson, Charles H.
Puts, $. Teaclle Wallis, and VIM. Ii Watson,

A mammoth convention ofthe democra-

the 30th, meeting of 10000 to $4,000
took place.
The democrats of Ohio are also aroused
to the greatest degree Of excitement, and
the State may be set down as safe. AT
Massilon, some two weeks since, there
was an outpouring Of the democracy Of not
less than 1000 in number. The process
sion, an Ohio paper before us says, was
about SIX MILES in length, and not half
the people in it. About the same time a
mass meeting was held at Dayton, at
which from 10000 to $1,000 were pre-
sent. Gen. CAss and Mr.. WELLER made
speeches.

Il invssted.s is'true, that n order to
fasten ths policy e6eslsalIy upon the coun-
Try, and to denonstssts the truth q the
ridiculous position assumed by the wings,
that high duties make low goods, the man
afacturers did, fer The frst Gin or eight
months, content themselves with small pro-
fits, and domestic goods Of = certain kind
were bought at unusually low prices; but
the object being accomplished the prices Of
these same fabrics soon began to rise, and
they now sell at an advance Of 30 to 40
per cent, and are still going upward.
The competition which we were told was
to regulate and keep down the prices Of
goods has not yet exhibited itself in it, ef-
fects; but on tie contrary, there is reason
to apprchend that league exists among
the monopolists to keep the prices up. The
manufacturers no longer depend on the
home market alone, bat have found pro-
ftable outlet for their goods in the Chinese
and South American markets. They are
willing, therefore, to let in portion Of
British manufactured goods; but instead o.
nnderselling them, us they would be amply
able to do, with q handsome profit, and as
the tariff contemplated they should do,
they straightway put up the price Of the
domestic article TO that Of the imported,
with the heavy duty added on, and become
competitors in the market. The enormou,
: profits which they thus realize from the
goods sold more than compensates them
they calculate, for the loss of portion o.
the home market. Indeed, the manufac.
turers themselves, we see it stated. viii
