in consequence of the Tariff, but better price. There is as little truth ill one statement as the other; but as you have probably already ex- posed the weakness of this latter argument, by a comparison of the prices current of former years, with the prices obtained since the pas sage of the act of 1S42, 1 will not trouble you with statement of the prices paid here at dif- ferent periods.
 We are gratifed continually with cheering reports from your State, and it is equally pleas ing to be able to return favorably account. The Democracy of New England were never more firmly united never in better spirits, and never enjoid more confident hope ot suc- cess in Presidential contest

 LOW PRICES OF FARMERS, pponr.
 The Whig papers are becoming ev..s er.,. uneasy under the exhibition in the Dsm ic papers of the extremely low prices @ aS mers' produce. Whig parlisans areeaa.'] ed by plain table of facts, and as tbsl. sort of despair, they pronounce the,s s,l ments s'unscrupulous."
 To sustain all the inequalities of tb. :, ent tariff, some of the most reckless '. insist that produce is not lower than : been in years past. The farmers vh. now receiving l2 cents per pound fo, butter, under the influence of the a' market," when in 1S42 they received lS, l7 cents per pound, and for their wbss cents, where they used to receive SO {, and for their beef2 cents pound when used to receive 3 cents, may think thsi s prices are lower than they have been bd and even below liring proft. Let K Whig editors who probably get ther ad the counting-room of some manufactur, among the hard working farmers of dN cinity or on the fertile lands of Wesen \ York, Ohio, Michigan, Ilinoise, or Ww sin, and they will tell them that they b not been so poorly remuaerated in yeaa they are under the present Whig prices The sugar, the molasses-the duties which range from 50 to ii0 per cent-I

This is the pOS in which the Whig party now stand sl born facts are crushing them between tie| per millstone of large profits for the n facturer and the neither millstone ofloE ges for the farmer This picture is tool \ fest to be mistaken. It should also k membered that this effect was foresan at the time of the passage of the tariff Yia was insisted that the farmers would not 4 dollar by that bill.

From Me Richmond Enquirer. WEBSTER us CLAY.

The Editor of the Madisonian has lately put to press, along with the Presidents "Let- ter of Withdrawal" some very remarkable productions, which emanated from the pen of Mir. Webster, two years ago. They strip the vizor from the designs of MT. Clay, and show up the true qualifications with which he is endowed-and the fiery ambition by which he has been animated 26 years. There is no doubt of the authenticity of these pa pers--as the originals in MT. W.'s hand-wrl- ting are still preserved in the Madlsonian of- flee How such man, who draws such portrait of MT. Clay, can now reconcile hlm- self to support Mir. c. for the highest office in the Republic, puzzles, we confess, our lln- agnation to comprehend. It IS apparent; that he does it with no hearty good wll.- The name of Mr. Clay never escaped his lips in his studied speech at Albany, or his intro ductory speech last week, at the great meet ing at Taunton, Massachusetts, over which he was called to preside. There are 6 or of these Nos, or ''Essays," as he calls them They all appear to proceed from the hand oi a master:

FIVE CHILDREN BURNED TO DEAru!--Mr.
Cha's Lockwood and wife left their house in Cam.
den, near Kingston, Canada, short time since,
leaving six children, the oldest about thirteen years
of age in the house 20
During their absence, the house by some means
took fire, and all the children were burnt to
death, one the second Oldest, who crcpt into
kind Of root house that communicated with the
house and was saved before that part of the house
was burned, although scorched on her soulders
Mr.. L. returned home alone, having left his wife
behind sick, and in nearing his house awhe fire.
He then galloped on, shouting the alarm as he
passed and arrived in time to save the one child in
the root house, but all the others were consumed.
On asking her why they did not follow her, she
said that she called to them but they were so alarm
ed and were screaming so much that they could
not hear. The house was log house, with only
one door, near which the fire seems to have be.
gun, thus the children's escape was cut off before
they knew their danger. The children were in
bed, and the one saved can give no account how

ISRAEL MUNsoN's WILL

We understand that this esteemed son of New
Haven has left his large fortune in very judicious
egacies, not forgetting relatives or public insttu
tons His estate we understand is inventoried in
Boston at about s36O,OOO. We have published
lcgacies to Yale College and other institutions a.
mounting to $4,000. In addition to these he has
also given TO Mr.. Barnard his former partner $40
600 $1,000 to Mr.. Barnards son and $1,000 to
Mr.. Spelman a strong friend all of Boston. The
balance Of his fortune he has divided between
twelve Of his nephews and neices, attached 10 the
following families:
The children of Mrs Hill, Mr. Munsons only sur
wing sister, residing in Wallingford, VI. The
children of his late brother Mr. Isaac Munson, al
so residing in the same town. The children Of
the Rev Mr. Thatcher, Methods. Clergyman,
who married sister of Mr.. Munson now deceased
one of whom is the wife of MIR Luther Gilbert Of
this city Another da lighter Of Rev Mr. Thatcher
residing in New Jersey. These constitute bis
neices and nephews The sum left to each will
average nearly $4,000 Mr. Munson graduated
at Yale College and studied medicine in this city
with the late Dr. Obadiah Hotchkiss and for a
short time prac,ised his profession in Brandford.
Not succeeding in the practice Of physic and
having acquired taste for business operations, by
having charge Of small store occasionally when
| its owner was absent, he removed to Boston and
went into trade with small capital After many
years Of successful operations, he failed in bushes:
bu, subsequently, he paid off every farthing of hi
Indebtedness and died worth over half mlllirn o.
dollars,
The life ofsuch great moral worth, business tao
aud personal integrity is full Of instruction. W.
trust that some of his Boston contemporaries vii
furnish the details Of his usefulness and business
operations in that city, New Haven Cour
