TARIFF ON WOOL,

! writer in the Geneva Courier has pre-.
scented this subject in practical way, and
with much clearness as follows:
You, my friend, are Farmer, and we
viii suppose Locofoco. What, ask,
doesiit avail you, should the v. Buren, Tariff
pass. and You loose 10 cents per pound on
your wool7 By the present act. wool
costing over 7cents per pound is taxed 3
cents per pound specific and 80 cents adj
valorem under Van Buren's new act
The specific duty is entirely abolished,
while the value of the imported wool is to
be estimated in effect by the price put I'D,
on il by the foreign importer. Under the
proposed act, the protective duty on your
wool will not in effect be over TWENTY-FIVE
per cent, while under the present law it is
about forty per cent.
Your Loco friends may tell YOU that
wool costing less than cents per pound
is under the present act, taxed 5 Der cent
and under the proposed act Is per cent .
but how many of you let me ask. ra;se
wool worth less than 7 centsl How
many of you, know not that this wool is
mainly of foreign growth, imported in a
great degree from S. America d. therefore

Tbs Oregon and Iercs Coalition Di,soir-
ed.-Our readers, on referring TO the pro-
seedlings In tho House Of Representatives
Will find that
Mr.. Hughes offered resolution, declaring
our title to the Territory of Oregon, and that
il was the duty of the Government TO take
Immediate possession of it, and demanded
the previous question, whessupon Mr.. Black,
of Georgia, offered for a modification, that
cit also is the duty and interes, of the Gov
eminent that Texas should be re-annexed TO
the United States, SO soon as the necessary
steps shall be taken TO that effect" This
was accepted as modification, aud the pre-
vious question demanded. Mr.. J. r. Inger-
soil moved TO lay the resolution on the table,
and demanded the yeas and nays, and the
following is the result Yeas LOG, NAYS &c.
So the resolutions were laid on the table.
Thus dissolYes the Oregon and Texas Goa
iition. The two Senators from South Caro-
lima, and Senator from North Carolina, not
being willing to 80 TO war with England forth
with for the Oregon, the Oregon army has
bolted, and both resolutions sleep upon the
table.
The plan in Washington has been, as we
understand, to have Oregon and Texas hunt
in ccuples,-but the plan does not work, and
both aro weakened by the conjunction.
The profound attention of all thinking peo-
pie in this country, should be given to these
movements in Washington. Texas has to be
slipped into the Union by secret treaty 10
be sprung unawares upon the publc. Ore
gon was to be taken possession of. at the ex-
pense of war. blood and caEuage, the confa-
grafton of our cities, and the sackins of our
frontier townsl
Public opinion has exploded, and these
schemes sleep. The Press has done its duty
with glorious eaergy,-and the voice of the
multitude has swollen up till all are abashed
IN Washington. These schemes however,
hu; sleep. till after the Presidential election.
Upon that result turn all these things.

MIR. VAN buren, ON THE TARIFF.

The y. Y. Plebeian in the course Of long
article on the Tariff, authoritatively states:
"Whatever doubts may have heretofore
existed in certain sections of our country, as TO
the degree Of protection advocated by Mr..
Van Buren,, those doubts are happily remov-
ed. The Free Trade Democracy of the
South and West are now perfectly satisfied
that on this ull-important question. Mr.. Van
Buren, is, at least, equally sound with Mr. Cal
houn.'
The above paragraph coming as /, does
from the confidential friend and organ Of Mr..
Wan Buren, in New York, may be taken, OF
course, Cd indicative Of the real opinions of
that gentleman on the Tariff question. We
therefore call upon his friends in this county,
and especially npon bis organ the Troy Bud
get, TO say whether they approve Of a candi-
date for the Presidency whose sentiments on
the Tariff question are as ultra as those of
Mr.. CalhOun.-Ifthey do, we are inclined TO
believe that the mass Of the American people
do not. Troy Whig.

reqmired,and these sins are absolutely commit
ted BY the agents Of the Constitution. There
is no escape from this.
The Freemen still sees no distinction be-
tween the moral right of an individual to for
bear obedience to sinful law, and the poliii-
cal right of the same Individuals to annul such
law. None are SO blind as those who avllt
not see. The individual may forbear obedi-
ence, yet he annuls not the law he will hon
or it by suffering the penalty, if one is enforc-
ed. for conscience sake. The asserted polit-
ical right to annul does not follow from this ;
but rather it follows that when this party be-
comes state, and attempts to enforce its dog
ma. it will be treated as traitorous TO the Con-
stitution and compelled to submission. Our
moral rights come from God, and he judges
US. Our political rights are limited by the
! Constitution, and its tribunals can and must
Judge us in respect 10 these.
Letthe third party have the Legislature.
| If they do one lot more than the Wings have
lawfully done already, they will forbid the
officers of the Federal Government in Yer
mont from executing the admitted constitu-
tional laws of Congress. Congress will in
sist on obedience. Here comes clash OF
arms; and one or the other must submit
w dI0 SN
this; men of ordinary sagacity cannot be so
blind. Who would provoke contest OF this
kind needlessly, when without such contest
every individual may refrain from violating
his conscience No man is yet compelled to
take an Office from the Federal Government,
which would carry with it the necessity OF ar
resting fugitive slave. The error OF the
third party is, that it wants the offices, and at
the same time refuses to do the duties of the
Office.
The Freemsn says it has quit the Wings
"because of their everlasting duphcity and
hypocrisy upon this very subject of slavery"
a good reason-iG true. To your proof; go
to the statute book, 60 TO the journals of Con-
gress, and tell us what your party can consti-
tutionally do moro than the Wing party has
done or is ready to do. 1t is notorious, sir,
that the Wings of Vermont have always
assumed and maintained the highest consti-
tutional ground on this subject-and you, SIR
show in this very discussion. Go to, with
your base charges, or prove them. Have you
been q miserable hypocritc ever since you
were in the Wing ranks !-Watchmau-

THEY CANNOT BEAR THE TRUTH. The
Locoforo majority in the House Of Rep
resentatives still refuse 10 allow a call to
be made on the Secretary Of the Treas
ury for statement Of the amount OF du-
ties which have accrued since the lst OF
January under the tariff. The reason is
obvious. They know that such state
ment would thoroughly expose the falsity
of the argument which they oppose to the
present tariff, when they say that it pre-
vents the collection of sufficient reyen-
ne to meet the expenditures of Govern
ment.-They are a precious set of legisla-
tors How can they expect TO lcgislate
wisely and benefcially for the country,
while they refuse TO seek for Information

impostors than those who constitute the

TARIFF AND ANTI-TARIFI

This great issue which has been so long
delayed by the adroilness of the Kinderhook
special pleader, has at length been formed.
Martin Van Buren, now stands forth stripped
of his thin DISCUSSES, an ant-tariff man. Even
in his Indiana letter last year that precious
specimen of double entandre, in which he at
tempted so to mistify his opinions that the
enemies of the Tariff mig ht think him entire
ly committed to them, while its friends might
not see his utter abandonment of protection,
he goes no farther than to advocate tariff
for revenue, and discrimination for revenue
only. But the south wanted stronger proof,
and in his letter to the editor of the Rich
mond Wing his echo at the south, he explie-
lily promulgates his opposition to the presen,
tariff sin principle and detail" And what
principle is denounced but that of protection
which the south hatesl 1t is an excellent
protective tariff. In raising a revenue, it ey-
erywhere discriminates for protection to
homo industry. In this respect it is working
most benefcially for the country. From
Maine to the waters of the gulf, all the indus
trial classes OF our fellow citizens, are cheered
with better times and more brilliant anticipa-
tons of future success. The Treasury is
likely to be filed to overlooking, At the very
first alarm of repeal all the agricultural, man
ufacturing and business interests of the coun-
try hasten to send in their remonstrances
against it. And yet Martin Van Buren, has
recklessly dared to denounce the tariff of
1912. This party in Congress have adopted
his dogma, and are pressing forward with
desperate resolution to overthrow the present
tariff. Tho Globe, Plebeian, Evening POST
ana scores of lesser luminaries are keeping |
up an incessant fire for free trade. By Mr.. /
McKay's bill scarcely incidental protection is |
to be allowed. In 1S45 the tariff which now |
affords in numerous instances specific protec-
ton, and in all other cases to average at least
forty per cent, ad valorem, is to be reduced to
nearly horizontal duty of 25 per cent, only
five cents higher than the compromise bill I'M
der which in 1s4l the country fell. All posi-
Dility of retreat is now denied the intriguer.
Mr.. Van Buren is identified with free trade.

Of .hs protective policy sd Of the As. Of

Of tbs protective policy ahd OF lns ACT Vi
1912.
That Act is designed to effect both objects:
10 increase the value and the production OF
labor by diversifying its pursuits, and to d.
nlinish expenditure by supplying by our own
industry, in some measure, what we have
been accustomed to purchase from others.
Sir, We need the aid of no subtle sprcula-
tioss of theoretical PHILOSOPHERS, no imported
theories from foreign nations, whose condI-
lion is different, and whose interest and policy
are antagonist TO ours, TO teach Us our true
economy in this particular. ! choose rather
to borrow my opinions from the sound judg-
mem and practical ssgaeity of my ancestors
to look to my native New England for the
element of an economy which has been there
so successfully practised;-to generation,
now past and gone, who, though located
among her rocks and hills, upon barren soil
and beneath wintry sky. have yet exhibited
TO the world an example of industry and econ
om7 and of comfort, competence and Thrift
sorthy tho emulation Of any people upon
earth.
Sir, The radical principle Of their econo-
nv, principle equally applicable to nations
a, 10 individuals, is comprised IN this simple
maxim. Procuce as much as possible by the
efforts of your industry, and keep your ex-
penditare within your income. While this
simple and Ineligible maxim is observed we
can not fail to prosper.
TO effect the first of these objects the great
desideratum is proper distribution of labor.
Tha great difficulty is that we are too exclu-
sirely agricultural. Of many articles there
Is m orer-production already, while the dis
parity is daily increasing by the tide Of emf
grafton rolling SO rapidly to the fertile regions;
Of the week. In this state of things you add
nothing to the value Of agricultural produe-
ton by increasing the quantity. When the
maximum of demand is reached, further sup
PLY is valueless, and additional labor is thrown
away. BY diverting portion of your labor
into new ehannels,-to manufacturing Pur-
suits, yot, take nothing from agriculture
while YOU add to the aggregate value of labor
to the amount of your manufacturing pro-
duciicn. At the same time you diminish TO
the same extent your expenditure-the tax
upon your agricultural industry.
TO be Continued.
