THEIR AIM AND OBJECT.

The thousand md one ISLANDERS put alont by the
locolocos now respecting Mr. Clny-old and stale cal
umnies, hundred times refuted-are designed mere
ly TO turn the attention Of the people from the great
questions which the true and Legitimate issues be
fore the country viz: Protective Tariff and sound
and abundant National Currency. To draw Off
attention from the fact. that the ocoocos in Congress
are now pressing a reduction of the raitT,thcy would
ain stir up old affair long since forgotten, about
Mr. Clay or somebody else, with England
upol the Oregon question. They dare not meet o.
peny the proper and the only issues TO be decided in
the coming contest An occurrence which took place
at public meeting in Connecticut previous TO tho
election eucidu!es their plan of operations One Of
their orators said, 'Ifu Wing says anything to you
bout a Tariff, sag 10 him, bahr' Yes, this is it,
When the Tariff policy is mentioned say, 6ahi-nt
least ill il is runed--the north sold and decided o.
yer by Van Buren, TO the South for and in considera-
ton Of Southern votes TO be bestowed upon ca North
with Southern principles" When
throus cut, why, then may talk about i'roec-
lion If we can
Let us tick TO principles nnd our measures
We must talk Of Protection nobody else will We
must demand il nobody will do it. When the
Wings cease 10 claim Project ION none will be found
to claim it, And talking about ii and voting for ii is
the only way expect to get it. Let not be
deceived and cheated by this old but newly played
card Of the locofocos. Van Buren, is an old and we'll
skilled political gameser, and he gives the word of
command 10 his friends.

We have already npprised readers that ID,
murderous duel is riked up by tho jackas of Loco
iocoism for party effect They tried thui game The
time, when the facts were fresh in the pphgt mNN-
and tried it in vain. Perhaps they hope tAcvyM W.
been forgotten, and that r0lsehood may nov sta.
abroad uudetecied, but they will doubtless Fl,
themselves mistaken. We call 10 mind few point
First -Cilley and Graves were not enemies sj
when the latter first called upon the former for EXT.
nation, he did explain satisfactorily; and to scrsa
whole matter forever, Graves requested Cicy to Il.
duce his explanation 10 writing, There was tiar
earthly question between them but this simple q,
whether Cilley should put upon paper the explara,
which he had uttered.
econd-Cilley took time-the fatal step. b
political friends were consulted; they urged him
refuse, and thus inevitably bring on fislt he pm
tscd hour after hour at rifle shootng he was nace
fo his success; and at last ollured the fatal step By
assurances that he would kill his man and crown ln.
self with glory by Kidding his party of such OrI'
nent as Graves.
Third-Thus beengured and led on by his lON'
foro associates, he gave his nnswer--nn ansHe
which he knew would lead to the fields and 10 the fel
he went, confident Of making Graves his victim he
chose his weapon aud the distance and found hs
grave. Certain il is that his friends expected df.
fcrent result The fact came out at the time, aud i
now confirmed in another quarter as follows

little more than that number in the evening" making
about hundred, old and young, bringing with them

lJeA letter from Washington, dated April 3, and
published in the Tribune, says;
Ipaid Mr. Calhoun visit yesterday. lie is in
most excellent health and Spirits and looks really ten
years younger than when he was here last session
But, strange to say, found him very sanguine that
he would be able to bring about the Annexation Of
Texas; and he is infatuated enough TO believe that
when the question seriously comes up before the Sen
ate, there will be not only majority but two-thirds
found 10 vote for it, Is not this extraordinary And
now, for all, give the quetus to the statement
in Tuesdays Herald that the Southern Wing Sen.
otors will vote for Annexation; they acM all role
against it, unless it be Henderson"
Henderson has been instructed by the locofoco
Legislature of Louisiana to vote for annexation, and
he probably will be the only Wing to vote for it,,
while about three .fourths of the loco members will
probably vote for annexation

THE PATRIOT ON THE TARIFF.

Ever since the passage Of the Wing Tarid,the Pat
riot the North Star, and the locofoco leaders in this
section have most penacously insisted that it did
not give Protection enough to Wool. This assertion
has been industrous'y spread among the people, and
has tended to keep down the price of wool Indeed
many farmers have been induced b. it to sell at low
prices and thus spectators in Vermont have undoubt
eddy transferred thousands of dollars from the rpock.
cts Of the farmers into their Notwithstanding
the whole influence Of locoGocoism has been 10 keep
dotOR The price, and 10 defraud the TURNER'S, Wool
has risen than so per cent under this Tariff
the impoations of foreign wool having been greatly
reduced-und the market for domestic has been en-
arged and kept active by the revival of old manu-
features and the introduction Of new At this point
comes tho Locofoco Tariff Bill, threatening to reduce
the duties on the wool which completes with our own
and to destroy the wool maket by prostrating manu-
features: the Patriot apologies for the bi!-virtual-
y supports it!-and while bound, out of some regard
to consistency, to growl little wool, yet mark
for the roleign WOOL which completes with ours, it
barely asks that the cents specific may be restored
which would leave the duty just as the Wing Tariff
left it! 1t asks for no increase.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The Waterman complaints bitterly of the new Tar

Let us The bill proposes duty of 80 per cent

Competing, flannel, ready made clothing, boots and
shoes, cotton baggng, manufactured hemp, chains,
iron wire, pins glass ware, hats, wines, paper mace,
nutmegs, and various articles too numerousyto mem
ton. After Sept. |, lS45, all duties brought
down to 25 per cent. Now, We recoect a by
the name of Henry Clay, who, in 1913, introduced
into the u S. Senate bill, commonly called the
"Compromise," which produced gradual reduction
of the Tariff, until no duty should exceed 20 per
cent In his recent letters this avows his deter
mination 10 stand by the principles of the Compro-
mise act. The Waterman is a jealous advocate of
this mans election the Presidency, nowithstand
ing. The w. will not and cannot pretend that the
bill before Congress is not altogether more IA
vorable 10 the Northern interests than Cay's Compro
MISE to which he still adheres: and ct it denounces
the bill but nppauds and glorifes Mr. Clay! This is
Wing consistency! ~
The w. and N. Y. Tribune insist that the bill
will ruin the woo-growing interest 1t is true that it
takes off the per cent specific from wool costing O.
yer cents in the foreign port. We would rather it
had been retained and still the quantity of such wool
imported is small compared with that costing cents
and under, and hence the great importance rests
cheap WOOL the duty on which is trebled, raised
from to l 5 per cent. This, however, consider
Inadequate for revenue purposes. Although three
times as high as the duty imposed by the Wing tariff
of AZ, the duty wool costing7 cents would a
mount to but trife one cent per Id. and so
down along according TO cost. (2.)
One thing is clear, that Vermont will make hand
some saving, should this bill pass, on cotton goods,
silks, iron, manufactured and unmanuiactured, glass,
SALT paints and almost every description Of imported
articles, raised, manufactured in the State. (3)
