A FAR DRAWN CONCLUSION.

Mr.. Webster made speech recently in Bos-
ton upon the subjects of Texas and the Tariff,
and because he did not, in an incidental allusion
to England, denounce the Established Church,
the logical editor of the Madisonian infers that
he is in favor Of that establishment! Was ever
such nonsense heard of? Lord Kames, in his
Elements of Criticism, enumerates, among the
characteristics of an imbecile mind, proneness
to observe faint resembIances, and to associate
thoughts remotely connected. We humbly think
that the deduction of the Madsonian above ad-
verted to, would serve as we'll to illustrate the re-
mark of the philosopher as the passage he cites
from the garrulous Dame Quickly.
1t is hardly six months since Mr., Webster emil
nently distinguished himself as the defender of
our voluntary system of supporting religion, as
contrasted with the very State plan which the
Dame Quickly Of the Madisonian infers that he
is in favor Of

BREAKING DOWN THE TARIFF.
The Albany Daily Advertiser says:

The Albany Daily Advertiser says:
"Mr. Bib, the new Secretary of the Treasury,
has actually decided that Sumatra and Java cof-
fee, imported into this country in Dutch vessels,
is free of duty, whilst that imported in American
vessels is liable to duty of 20 per cent. thus
making discrimination in favor of the foreign
vessel! The Secretary will soon use up the Ia
riff at this rate''
1t is time that Mr.. Secretary Bbb's recent cir
cuars, respecting Java coffee and Portuguese
wines, should be looked to- By them he puts the
laws of Congress at defiance, and orders such du-
ties to be levied as he for Mr. Calhoun, ratber,)
pleases.
Before Judge Bib was made Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Calhoun made two or three at
tempts to commit the Treasury Department to the
absurd and unlawful course Of policy in relation
to the articles received which it now pursues,
but was each time baked by the decisions of Nc
CLINTocK YOUNG, the then Secretary ad interim,
and JAMES N. BARKER, the Assistant Secretary
of .the Treasury. Judge Bibb is the devoted
friend of Mr.. Calhoun, and ready, at all times, to
follow the bent of that ignis fatuus luminary.

A BIG SCREW LOOSE.

How far the following paragraph, which we
copy from the Washington correspondence of the
N. Y Tribune is correct, we have no certain infor-
nation; we have heard it rumored through the city
that such was the fact, and upon the authority of
one aoho ought 10 knoo Com. Stewards opinion up
on the subject
commodore Stewart, who may be considered
as some authority as Democrat like the hon
orable and high-minded men of his party, takes
decided exception to the nomination of Mr.. Polk,
and MONT Vote for him. He says the party de-
serted its principles at Baltimore, and though he
can't place himself in an attitude of public hosti-
ity, still his private feelings are averse to the
support of any such diminutve and obscure lead
er. He has further stated that the Committee at
Carlisle, which addressed M. Polk for his def
mite opinion of opposition or favor to the Tariff Of
1912, and whom he refused to ans,oer, are Ste,oart
Democrats of old standing, and reliable men, and
that in his (Democratic) judgment Mr.. Clay will
carry the States Of Pennsylvania and New Jer-

The Tammany Hall and Pewter Mug Loco
ocos of the city of New York, with all the char
acterstics of high,oaymen (excep, the redeeming
necessity of meeting the victim intended to be
robbed face to face) uubushingly demands of
every officer, State or National, portion of his
money to maintain the ascendancy of his party
We trust there are many, who, like the gentleman
alluded to below, will not hesitate TO throw the
demand back in their teeth, and take an appeal
from these flchers TO the people.

The following begging address was sent to a
good Wing, supposing him to be Locofoco The
gentleman returns the appeal to the public, and
is mortified at the suspicion that he should have
been taken for Locofoco:
"The Democratic Republican General Com
mittee at Tammany Hall, require funds to carry
on with vigor the present political campaign in
support Of their candidates Polk and DALLAS, for
President and Vice President of the United States,

Here is THREAT FROM TAMMANY HALL:
"TAMMANY HALL, Aug. Is, 1874

Resolved, That the Chairman and Secretaries

FOREWARNED FOREARMED.

The New York Express says =" A gentle
man of the utmost veracity informs us that he
has full knowledge of plan that is on foot by
the Locofocos to let Vermont go by default, and
to colonize their forces into the State of New
York. This same system of fraud is to be prac-
tised along the line of Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. We have
no doubt the greatest system of illegal voting
will be practised ever known. The Wings must

or 80 U. s. sailors paraded our streets on Tues
day with music and flags bearing the insignia of

themselves peaceably, and made no noise but with
their music, except when they passed the DWELL

SERIOUS EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIFE.-We
learn that on Thursday one of the workmen en-
gagged on the fort at Bucksport Narrows was re-
gazing himself by smoking cigar while sitting
upon keg of powder. Several persons present
demonstrated with him for thus exposing him
self, when in sort of daring bravado he declared
there was no danger, and applied the end of his
cigar to a few rains of loose powder--the whole
ignited, and in an instant he was blown to great
distance and instantly killed. Seven or eight
persons were injured, some of them seriouly.-
We have not been able to obtain any names, and
only to pick up these facts as they were passing
from one person to another about the city

VIRGINIA RIsING.-At large meeting of the
Wings of Richmond on Friday evening, VIM. II.
mcfarland, Esq, who had lately returned from a
visit to the western part of the State, assured
the meeting that both from personal observation
and from information derived from the most au-
thentic sources, the Wing vote would be greatly
increased over that of lS40 and that although
as to the Polk majority in Virginia, he had been
unable TO discover any signs which could insure
their confidence, but, on the contrary, such as to
subject them to the apprehension of most signal
and meriled defeat

HE SPIRIT OF GAMBLING.-A pugilist named
Shelton, after days pleasure at Hampstead,
England, gambled away his money and clothes at
pitch and toss, upon which he tossed with bis
companion to see which should hang himself, the
survivor to have the money and clothes of the
loser; the lot again fell upon Shelton, who &C
tually borrowed sixpence to purchase the halter,
and then fulfilled his engagement. A Waterman
came up at the moment and cut him down, for
which service the poor fellow was knocked down
by Shelton in the excess of his Indignation for
the interference. He was tried for the assault,
and deservedly sentenced to three months i'm

THE BRITISH PARTY.

Reasons why the Federal Blue Light Loeofo-
cos are appropriately styled the British Party:
1st Because the leaders, James Buchanan, Sc
nator Wall, Chief Justice fancy, and thousands
OF the like kidney, the backbone Of the Locotoco
party, opposed the last war, and sided with the
British.
3D. Because the whole Locofoco party oppose
the protection of American industry, and advocate
the doctrine to promote which British gold is sent
to this country-which will take bread out of The
mouths of American citizens, and give it TO the ar
tzans of England and France.
Sd. Because Polk is the favore of the monar-
chica party of England
4th. Because the Locofoco party are, like the
British tories, in favor Of fostering English indus
try, rather than the industry of the United States.
9th. Because the Locofocos are in favor of inn
atng England, by extending the territory of the
Government, in violation of treaty stpulalions
and common honor.
9th. Because the Locofocos are in favor of en-
rlchng men in office, while they oppose the true
Interests of the people.
TN, Because the Locofocos are opposed to ex-
tending equal rights to alias seen in their con-
due. in New Hampshire where they prohibit
Catholics from holding Office.
9Th. Because the leaders of the Locofoco party
are precisely like the advocates of the alien and
sediton laws, and only wait to get the pow r to
revive the expressions of the period referred to.
GJVide Senator Wrghts vote in the Senate in
1924, against allowing the people to vote for Pre-
sident
9th. Because the Locofoco party are arstocrat-
lc in principle and practice, and only wait for the
acquisition of power to make the iron heel of des-
potism felt on the backs Of the PROSTATE masses
of our people, D'Vide the declarations Of Sena-
tor Buchanan and Senator Tappan, that mechan-
les and laboring men in this country should work

HEMP-The following statement of hemp re-
ceived at New Orleans may help to show the
rapid increase of the cultivation of this important
New Orleans were only I2l1 bales; in 1912
and lS43 they rose to $4,000 bales and in lS43
and 1914 they reached $4,000 bales or about
5000 tons-the increase being almost exclusive
ly from Illinois and Missouri.
In the census of 1910 the return was made of
hemp and flax together, and the agricultural sta
tstics published by the Patent Office are made in
the same MANNER so that they afford no nforma-
ton as to hemp alone.
