probably was the mistake of the printer.
The Hudson Gazette of this week attempts to
break the force of our statement by representing
that hrec Of our nnmhrr never voted at I'LL ; that
tvo had voted e. Loco Foco ticket only OCCASION
ailr, and oac voted the Loco Foco ticket last fall
itisa we'll known fact here, that the men whose
names are appended to the card III question, have
always been decided supporters OF lte Demo
cratic party. have often been N D,mocraic
caucus with them, and koOg ;Aey were honest
advucatC5 of that cause. Three years ago the
Loco FocCs offered to nomiu4tt. 3ir. Parker for

these papers attempt TO prejudice tho American

sympathy, which | must confess is not great,
Judging irern the abusive conduct of the Loco.
| Fuco papers toward them of late. 1t strikes
that 1t is unfair and unjust IN the conductors Of
newspapers to attempt to prejudice one part of
the community against another on account Of
their religion or politics, or the operative against
the employer, particularly ii the object be the
acquisition of political capital. The Gazette la
me:Its with reverend and pious sorrow at the
gross impositions heapcd upon our heads by our
employers; and ills rather singular that we shonld
remain so stupidly insens!hlc TO our suffering
condition, aiie5 being reminded OF II so often by
the Loco foco papers.
Let US look ut somc Of the miserics we endure
| Many families have made money enough out Of
the factories here, beside supporting themselves,
To purchase good farms at the West, and are now
thriving farmers. Mr.. Marshal! pays out abDu'
| S5. 900 It month for wages. The Cotton Mills of
Mr. Wilds the Woolen Factory of NJ. Scott, ana
the Paper Mill Of Mr.. Chittcndcn pay Ca fur
wages amounting TO about S;5O,h00 per annum
All the factories in Stockport paw cash fer wages
aud the whole amount is over Sl250ii0 year.
Al all of these establishments tha hands IRE at
perfect liberty TO trade " here thcy p'essc.
1t is said our wages have been reduced 20 per
cent since the Tariff Of 1912 One OF the culion
factories here was compelled to stop in con>e
qlcnce OF the dlsast'oGa fleets Of thc low Tariff
! and the 7agds consented to small reduction ra
thsr than have the factory stop. This was about
The time of the passage .; 'lic Tail' bill that was
vetoed by Mr. Tyler. Since then the wages
have been advanced IN some OF the departments,
and the operatives are ncw making more money
than within five years past. Al the PRINT works
The block printers wages have been increased ~
per cent since the low Tariff uincs, and now In
stead of working quarter and half time a. they
did then, they Rave full and constant employ.
ment, aad double the number OF workmcn are
employed.
The manufactures here are great consumers
Mr. Marsha's print works consume annually
1890 tons Of Coal. They pay out every year
Sl5,000 in cash for wages. They also pay out
over 100000 annually for dye drugs lumber,
castings, non, h'es, cutlery, starch, flour, &c.
They printed during the last year between two
and three millions Of yards OF cotton cloth.
The cotton factories in the town work up
about 269, ,00J pounds ofthis cotton annually,and
MIR. Stott works up more than $4,000 worth Of
wool year, which he buys OF the tarmers.-
| These facts have ascer.alned from authentic
sources, ard they can be safely relied upon.
il would be difficult thing to nuke the local
merchant believes customer who huye 1900 tons
of coal OF hm every year is an enemy to his bus
ness. The mechanic who gets lair wages and
constant employment, cannot dcnouncc his en-
ployers as "petty tyrants." The farmer who
finds steady market and fair prices og his wood,
beef, pork, vegetables butter, che; -, hay grain.
&c IN his own town or State. will never prefer
the foreign market, which is ale'Ass uncertain,
and risk and cost of transportation greater. The
farmers in this vicinity do not look upon the
manufacturing interest with JEALOUS eyes; they
find factories are too profitable customers to be
destroyed by thcir influence and their votes.
You will please pardon the imrcrfections Of
my composition, as | am plain mechanic, and
not used to wiring for the newspapers.

t1olmes member of Congress, and the Charleston
Mercury, think a Tariff President and Tariff
Congress will be elected.
What then Why, they are content to wait,
thcy will honor the democracy 20 far until Mr.
Polk is defeated, before they act. If he is de-
ea,ed, disunion foiows-so they say. Ii elected,
the Tariff fails, and Texas is annexed.
