si,as tyri.ht and ,he .rarief.

We have letters from ST. La wrcnce County IN
'o.ming US that Mr.. Wright has taken the stump
n earnest for Polk and Texas, and has started on
taul through the Northern Counties to aid the
desperate fortunes OF Loco FocosIn IN that region
Nr. wright is personally a popu!a. man II the
,ec,ion % the State where he resides and we are
,o surprised to ie.. that MS ettuIts have heea 'e-
,afd, 4 BY the party as OF The last importance 10
n, IN IN this State Ec understand, however, ,ha,
g has been .e;uc,.atly forced mo the business,
and scarcely conceals tue cold chagrin with which
ne views both the make shif. candidate CT ms par
t. and the new issue which they have Grated
indeed, his views upon Annexation az openly
avowed to DC IN accordance VIZ. those Of M Ven
Buren,.
But upon the subject of the present Taria we
save something farther to say % VI. Wright and
MS course. The Loco ocos held Convention
a, Potsdap, ST Lawrence County, on the 18th
inst. a, which Mr.. Wright made speech, whic.,
Is thus noticed By very respectable citizen, VII
ting to Us from the ground:
After speaking at some length Of Gen. Jack
son, the battle Of New Orleans, and Major
Davtzec, he approached the subject Of the TaIiii.
lie sad II was subject Of vast Importance, and
,hat in whatever i4hl j, was viewed ii was a
system oi Government Taxation. This taxation,
on some accounts, ought TO be popular, and he
Vas glad that It was popular among inc people.
lie was no: in favor Of z horizontal Tanti, but
wished every branch Of industry protected IN pro.
,yrtiGn u us wents-sald the present Tantf was
defective in some points though he APPROVED
OF IT GENERALLY. He alluded 70 The
Woo.grower-sad that he Uas not enough pro-
'ected The duty on Coarse Wool was not nigh
enough. Il was Jolly to say that foreign Wool at
cents and under did not come IN competition
with Woo! grown by cur farmers. He OH.
Wright saw IN Vermont lately factory for the
maklnc of Satinet, IN Brattie5orO, believe, N
shch this kind OF Wool was used 10 the entire
exclusion Of that grown IN that ncigh5or.lood.
Now who would suppose hat the Mr. Wright
who delivered such sentiments as these on the
stump in ST. Lawrence county, is the identical
ION. Siles Wright who no longer ago than the
3 Is, Of last May declared by his vote in the SEN
,te of the United States, that " the duties impos-
I'd BY existing LAYS on ifnportstions are unjust
,nd ougAt TO be reduced2" And yet, if YOU Will
tu-n 10 the proceeding OF Congress Of that date,
sou vii! find this t. be the case. The following
IS The record
Mr. ALLEN proposed TO amend the resolution Of
he ComnIitt.e on Finance by striking out all after
IL. word "ltat and u insert ''tbe duties imposed
~ existing laws are UNJUST and ought 10 he redu-
ed" Thst, ne said would enahIe those Senators
Who desired 10 DO So, 10 give direct vote on the
merits Of the bll.
The question then taken, by yeas and nays
~ Use amendment Of MIR ALLEN, and decided III

ne "approves generally" of the present Tariff,
and thinks especially that the (" Nooi-grOuer rs
