resuscitate her is on account of the physical abil
ty which is IN the family.
1t is thought however that nostrums can't save
her as she begins to bloat already-her last obse-

the monument, who can tell
Gov. Ellsworth's address was most respectful to
his opponents-his arguments and his manner in
presenting facts are daily telling in favor of the
cause he so ably and zealously advocates. He has
truly created political revival, and many have al
ready been brought in" and are now at least with
holding their influence from their rejected cause
My word for it the cause ofthe Wings never prom
Used so well in this town as it now does
The buster the Locos now make in every part of
our county are only signs Of distress-'tis strug
gle with Hope, but her pinions spite Of them will
bear her peaeefullXa away. B.
Mn. EDrToR,-I these degenerate times, when
the periodical press throughout the whole land is
almost daily crowded with literary nonsense, po-
Ii teal twaddle religious controversy, it is quite
refreshing occasionally to fall in with something
| which as literary production is keen and racy,
and at the same time, as political article. or the
outline Of political creed, is denuded of all those
extraneous matters with which politicians are &C
| customed to surround their views and opinions
on subjects which are often so embarrassing, and
which lays down important political principles
with such cfearness and precision as to be rarely
equaled- The browning beauty Of which howev-
er, in case to which are about to aHude, gives
zest to the dull and pressing subject of politics, by
an exhibition of great good humor, immaculate
honor, and fine display of wit. But am keep
ing you too long from the subject matter itself.
The all union and harmony" party of Salisbu-
ry, appear in the Columbian Register of the oath
ultimo, in series of Resolutions, over the sigma
ture of Horace HOllister, ESQ.,, as Chairman, which
I think it will be conceded, are but family char
acterlzed in the Sketch above given. Mr.. H. him
self, is the very pink of political consistency, as
much so as the sprig Of Tylerism who assisted in
getting up these overwhelming resolutions, and
both are fully as consistent as John c. Calhoun or
Captain Tyler himself.
Presenting that the whole world will be moved
by these resolutions, and particularly the Locofoco
party of Salisbury, will not occupy your paper by
quoting them at length, but you will allow me to
suggest that the lst Of the SERIES which urges up
on all [patent1 democrats the necessity of united
efforts in opposition to Henry. Clay, is true, and
that Locofocoism feelst to be so, in letter and in
spirit, and that even these united efforts will not
( save them.
The second is exceedingly beautiful 1t sets
forth the &c harmony which pervades the party,
and evinees> that sterling integrity which is so
shockedatthe thought of brides, that the bare in
culcation of the idea of Office, however remote
in Gospect. held out to the obsequious followers,
! tq given " now or hereafter sends thrill of
| 81 ow through all the ranks of patent democra.
I css The Sd setting forth the sudden pretensons
9d The ns s in favor of high PIstee, oe Tariff
a whig newspaper or other wing document of au-
thority, urging the adoption of high Protective
Tariff. And all the country Except the aforesaid
gentlemen) knows that the" suddenness' of whig
movements in favor of Tariff. of the very short
j growta, H " i0ng series of years.
The assertion that Henry Clay avowed himself
opposed to the Protective Tariff In mis- letter to his
Georgia friends being false. any man may by
reading the whole ofhisleter to his Georgia friends
needs no refiltation, except with the aforesaid |
&c HOLSTER" and he probably has not seen the re-
turns of the late Georgia election
The 1st paragraph of the 4th resolution APP
proves of exactly such Tariff as the Wings have
adopted, and the remainder of the resolution,
condemns said Tariff, because ii makes the rich |
richer, and the poor poorer, and yet when these
pure minded men find one of their followers who
goes for the present Tariff they say to him did not
we pass the TARIFF could the Wings have passed
the Tariff without the democrats? Such conss-
tency makes the whole subject as clear as n,ud Mr..
Editor, but should like nevertheless, to the
argument to prove that this Tariff taxes the many
for the benefit of the few. The proof that it does
not is rife through all the land, and the people feel
it too.
The beautiful consistency of that party m rela-
ton to a Tariff is indeed jewel. How did their
representatives from New England in Congress
vote on the present Tariff How did their Senator
from Connecticut vote on the same? How do the
Connecticut members now vote on proposition to
repeal the Tariff? What the arguments set |
forth in MIR. Van Buren's leading papers in New
York in favor of I" Free Trader" What public |
journal Of the patty comes before the people, as
decided advocate Of Protective Tariff! When I
the gentlemen reconcile the conflicting opinions
which they erpress on ssubject, 1--WE say express,
for some of them must express favorable opinions,
or the game is up with them) we will canvass the
matter with them.
The 5th and 9Th resolutions contain all the brill |
liant scintllations Of the genius of Salisbury Loco
focoism, and are the most racy specimens of COM
position, wit, and humor, to be found record in
the archives ofthe party for the last fortnight for
notwithstanding the holy honor which they enter
tain of associations designed to do he dirty work
of pary' the aforesaid Locofocos with the illusri-
Horace at their head, continue to IS associate as
often as there is meeting of the Clay Club, and |
make most tremendous efforts to destroy the tnlu-
ence of this Club, which is so annoying to them,
and which through "the lessons of foreign petit
foggers" promulgates doctrines which the people
| approve and sciN listen to-.
| But ct wonder oh heavens, and be astonished oh
earth at the moral and political purity of this i'm
maculate party, which is exhibited in this 9th res
olution, in the reiterated" wonders at the thought
| OF "who pays the fees"
Gentlemen, they are not paid by an assessment on
the salaries of defaulting public oficers-nor out
of the 9TH instalment of the distribution und-npr
out Of the Navy Pension fund-nor out of the
| Smithsonian bequest, nor out OF the avails of
Van Buren's sale of the United States Bank stock,
for all these and many other funds had been squan-
dered by Van Buren,s administration, long before
the Wings got hold of the empty boxes Of the
Treasury. -f,.5 l- N.
