Mr.. EnIroH:-Wlile looking over
one Of The late numbers Of yoar paper,
my attention was accidentally directed
10 an article over the signature Ct .jLai-
ison, tic author of which seems to be a
very enthusiastic protcctionist, and also
10 be more than anxious to realize the
exquisite pleasure Of "brcaking a lance
with u Democrat upon the subject Of q
protective tariff. Wei really l thought
the Wings, and their renowned leader,
had at length consented to put the sub
ject OF protection al rest" Bat instead
Of that | see TIE energies, even ola mod
crn Madison" exerted in behalf Of the
darling child" Now | profess TO be
but Slightly acquainted with the truly
obstruSe and intricate subject Of a Tariff;
not sufficiently skilled in it, at any rate,
10 venture 10 come in contact with the
genius, wisdom and penetrating sagacity
Of Il "lIadison." | confess that | need
some cn.ightening upon the subject, and
probably "AIadison' is the very man
for that business. Therefore the object
of my remarks will be nothing more nor
less than a manifest desire on my part,
to excite and stir IN the latent powers
Of ''NIadlson's' gigantic mind, Ia the
generous task Of investigating the prin-
cipIes Of lheproteetiv policy, and there
by cnlightening Il readers upon the
subject.
madison" if you could only succeed
in proving to the minds of the agricul-
~turists generally thattLey would be on
sulling their own interests in aiding in
the establishment of a protective Tariff,
your extraordinary genius and powers
of mind would certainly receive the ad-
miration Of a grateful people, and emit
tie your glorious name TO a prominent
place among the bright stars of the \
merican galaxy, As you seem very ca
ger for a discussion, | hope you may
find a Democrat who has the time and
ability to give you a small "raking down.

that YOU may receive a speedy pardon

TO the writings CT such men as Wash

a sentiment that will justify the Wings

The DIFrEREHCE.-Wc have had a
good many conflicting reports rs 10 the
relative strength Of the "Hards" and
'Softs" in St. Louis city and county
Penn has uniformly c0ntendcd that the
lizards" were Just ono where" in st.
Louis-that the softs would beat them
five TO one &c, &c; but we find by ey-
animation of the vote for the hard and
soft candidates for the Legislature, that
PENIS statements were gross misrepre-
sensations; and BY reversing them we
cat much nearer the truth, as will be
seen: The aveSage vote Of the regular
democractic ticket for the Legislature,
was 1902 votes. Averaging the vote Cf
the Penn or Independent ticket, we have
oS4. This may be considered a fair test
Of the strength Of the two parties in St.
Louis, and shows that there are more
than two hards for every soft, in this
bcasted strong hold ofthe "Idependcnts.'
But let that pass-the Young Hickory

The following hit is from the Asylum Journal,
whose crazy editor gets out some of the most SEN
sible and witty things that come to hand. We
sometimes doubt whether the managers Of that pa
per are more than half as crazy as their neghbors,
Notwithstanding they are confined in an insane
hospital.
ARGUMENT IN DEBATING SocIETY.-I shall
proceed, Mr. President, to compare riches to pow
erty in such a manner that you will plainly per-
ceve there is no comparison at all. The man
possessed of wealth, Mr.. President, may decline
his meagre and emaciated form upon dashng So
fa but, sir, when he draws the dark veil of futuri-
ty, and allows his imagination to retrograde into
the dim ancestral "reminiscences of coming time,
can he-I repeat it. can he look on these with emo
tions half so pleasing as the man possessed of pow
erty? Happiness, Mr.. President, is like crow
perched upon neighborng summit of some far
distant mountain, high above the sports of the
fowler, which are in vain set to no purpose. He
looks at the crow, Mr.. President, and the crow
looks at him; but as soon as he endeavors TO en-
snare him, he vanshes from his sight like the
deep, schsmatic tints Of the MISUNDERSTANDING
sir, seated beneath the shady shadow of some UNI
brageous tree, he calls around him his wife and
the rest of his children and distils into their juve
nil minds, useful lessons to guard them agans
vice and immortality.

TOrrev Meeting,
H. CLAY.

The friends Of human liberty met on Sunday
evening, the 18th inst, at the Free Church in this
village, to consult upon the case of Rev. Chas. T
Torrey, who has been torn from the bosom of his
family, and confined in loathsome prison, and is
about to be offered as victim upon the bloody
altar of slavery, for the aledged crime of assisting
some of Gods poor and crushed children in gain
ing that freedom which is the common blrthright
Ofah. H. Y. Barnes was appointed Chairman,
and ]. Poland Secretary. The meeting was small,
from the fact that nearly all the Priests and Levites
passed by on the other side, and left this christian
brother to die of his wounds, lest the Sabbath
should be desecrated, or their sacerdotal robes
should become soiled by attempting to bind up the
wounds of this brother, who had fallen among
slaVeholding thieves and robbers. One house was
refused US on the ground that they expected revi
val, and it might draw off the attention of some to
have the claims of an imprisoned brother present
ed onthe Sabbath The pastor of another church
in giving the notice of the meeting, informed his
hearers that he thought it was dissertation of the
Sabbath to meet and express ur sympathy for a
minister in bonds and devise mea MS if possible to
relieve him. However, we had good meeting,
and adjourned to meet Tuesday evening 18th.
At the adjourned meeting goodly number were
present, and it was a very spirited meeting Those
however who had SO much sympathy for Mr..
Torrey, but were afraid of desecrating the Sab
bath, did not make their appearance.
The following resolutions. after being ably dis
cussed were unanimously adopted.
Where as, the Rev. Charles T. Torrey has beer
arrested and cast into prison in the city of Bati
more, on the charge of having assisted slaves il
making their escape from slavery, which humane
conduct has been construed to constitute a crime
against the laws ofthe United States, therefore,
Resolved, That the principle to be decided by
the United States Court in the case of Mr.. Torrey
is one Of vastimportance to US alone in which
our liberties as citizens are deeply involved, ant
also our duties as christians in obeying the com
mand of God notsto return him that is escape
from his master, and to do unto others we wou
that others should do unto US.
Resolved, That it is our duty to obey God roth
er than man, and that in His name and by tn
assistance of His grace we will endeavor to do SO
let the decision in the above case be what it may
Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with Nj
Torrey in his deplorable condition, and denounc
the laws by which he has been imprisoned as cor
trary to the law of God, deserving of the loud co
dennation and undisguse adherence ofthe Who'll
civilized and christian world
After the passage of the resolutions a coectio
of$7, so was taken up to assist Mr.. Torrey in tn
expense of his trial. The meeting then adjourn
ed without day.

BAR TO MARRIAGE.-The government Of the
principaity of Valdez, in Germany, have given
public notice that no license to marry will hereaf-
ter be granted to any individual who is addicted
to drunkenness; if he have been so, he must ex-
hibit full proofs that he is no longer slave to this
vice. The same government have also directed
municipal and police authorities, upon petition
for license to marry, the report shall distinctly
state whether either of the parties DESTROYS of Gu
tering into matrimonial connection, is given to in
temperance or otherwise.
