had only reflected little and endeavored
to dispell the "musty vapors" which ho-
yer around his pericrauium. ne would not
have been so foolish as to think otherwise.
As to the 6rst quotation. we still "take
the liberty Of saying that the duty upon
articles 1mroRrED-imported remember,
becomes to the consumer part Of the price.
In proof Of this, we gave the " Chronicle
an example in our last number. Brandy,
which he has not thought " ,corth aohile
TO notice.
AS to to the second-from the " oat-
side," why did not the Chronicle have
the fairness to give the whole paragraph.
Is he in the garbhng line !! We will quote
the next sentence to the one selected from
our " outside by the Chronicle. and then
leave our readers to judge how it conflicts
with onr s. first proposition -
We might go on this way through the
whole Of the Tariff. 1t is true that when the
duty is so enormously high as to be wholly
prohibitory, the price of the article is not al
WAYS raised in proportion to the amount oil
such cases, the duty is so heavy that if it were
added to the price, it would make the price
so exorbitant that few would have the means
to purchase.
"The increase of price is, however, even
in such cases, an approximation more or less
near to the amount Of the duty imposed, and
Mr.. Clay, in laying down the rule that the
duty is included in the price, uttered an i'm
! at
he pronounced the severest condemnation Of
the Tariff, which he now calls moderate and
benefciaI.'
Thewrite of the above quotation is on
ly showing that when the duty is prohibi.
tory that is. when it is so high that the ar.
ticles upon which it is laid, cannot, on tina
account. be imported, because no one couc
afford to pay both the prime cost and the
duty cost, that then the manufacturers O
these articles in this country, must, if they
intend to sell them at all. dispose of them
at lower price than the prohibitory duty
and original cost together, tor the obviou.
reason that otherwise there would be NJ
purchasers.
But under these circumstances is It no
obvious that they can ask just so much fo
such prohibited articles as they think thei
consumers can pay, without amy regard Il
the justice Of such charge.
In regard to the quotation from our ''in
side" of .'Oct. 4th," we still say that tn.
duty imposed upon articles, such as Cot
ton, Cheese, Tobacco, &C., which we al
ways export. but never import. as matte
of course, has no influence whatever, b,
it great or small, on their price. for tn
simple reason that 1t is never imposed.
In conclusion, we would say that tn
main proposition we laid down, and which
we still maintain. is, that high duty i'm
posed upon articles which We now reai1
import, becomes part of the price Of thos
articles to the consumer.

UNEXPECTED VICTORY!!
When the Intelligencer ascertained that the
Wings, instead Of carry ing Marylan by 5000
majority, would carry it, if at all. by the skin
of their teeth, it made great flourish over
DELAWARE, giving the whole Of the returns
from that State, with the exception of Sussex
county, which county was expected to increase
the Wing majority.
The N. York Commercial Advertiser like
wise shouted over the victory in Delaware, as
follows:
DELAwARE.-The election for inspectors
was held on Tuesday. and the result is sue.
cess to the Wing cause. In New Castle
county, the whig majority is 90. In Kent
county. 1872. In Sussex county, the only one
remaining to hear from, Harrison's majority
in 1910, was 463, and Rodney's, (W.,) ir
1912, 7S.
Of course, thought the Commercial, Ola,
will not cause any falling off from the Whis
majority for Harrison, and so, should SUISSE,
: go as it has gone, Delaware must give a viii!
victory.
Well, Sussex was finally heard from. w

THE BARGAIN.

1t is well known that Iocofoco committee
came to this city some weeks ago from New York
and made bargain with the President, the con-
sideration of which, on the part of the latter, has
not been fully made public, though one of the
conditions agreed upon was the withdrawal Of
that functonary from the canvass for the success
sion, and further stipulation his part to WELD
all the patronage of the Government for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Polk This is certain. 1t was charged
by some Wing letter-writer that the President
was to receive at Mr.. Folks hands foreign mis-
sion. THIS the Madsonian, the organ of the
President, has denied but that paper has not
had the hardihood to deny that a bargain nas
made. So far from denying the fact, it has been
thought advisable to let one important item in the
interested, in order to nspirt them to persevcring
action. That paper few days ago said in refer
ence 10 the bargain that there was no doubt Mr..
Polk ,oould take care Of tn. Presidents friends.
We profess not to quote the precise terms of the
declaration, but merely the import, without a
shade Of exaggeration.
Let the people 60 to the polls, then, in October
and November, remembering the fact that cor
rupt bargain exists between the acting President
and the friends of the Locofoco candidate, and
that the former is pledged to exert all the influ-
ence which his station and the peoples money
gives him to accomplish the election of The lat
ter. Beware, then, fellow-citizens, of all who
come to you, in the name Of John Tyler, TO de-
fraud you, upon any pretence, of your rights.
Remember the corrupt bargain.

lHE LEAD REGIoN.--It is impossible to con-
celve the value OF the many lead mines recently
discovered IN Iowa and its neighborhoods. A
miner by the name of Booth, at Dubuque, while
sinking shaft, came ont at considerable dis
lance 10 large cave, containing the richest veins
OF lead ore that had yet been discovered in that
country. The cave is 1000 feet in length and
10 to Az IN breadth, and from IL to 30 feet in
height But the peculiar charm of the cave is in
the mineral it contains. Descending bv small
sha't on the hoo into drift, the glittering ore

lays 10 detached junks, some weighing probably
thousand pounds, embedded in the usual red
siiica put by what wondrous chemistry, and

that would gladden. the eyes of any miner. 1t is

the cave will yield. Experienced mine,s cav !,
is good for three millions, and it NAV possibly
greatly exceed that.

Urging various objections against it. A gentle
man present interposed and asked" But ,ohat II
England should seek to gel possession Of Teras 2"
General Cass Immediately responded, with great
emphasis" My Con, SIR. IF ENGLAND WANTS
1T, LET HER HAVE IT. We DON'T WANT IT."
Mr.. Howard then, in the presence and hearing
of the whole meeting, comprising gentlemen OF
both parties, declared that if Governor Cass, or
any authorized friend of his, would publicly deny
the substance of this statement he pledged him
self personally, as man of veracity and honor,
to furnish proof of its truth We will only add
that he is man who will make good his pledge.
The Advertiser of the day following the publ
cation of the above contains a letter from the
Hon J. M. HOWARD, fully verifying what is said
above, and concludes as follows:
AT moment when the General did not feel
the full influence and power ofthis Texas ques-
ton, when he gave utterance to the unstudied
sentiments of his heart, he exclaimed-aJ- "MY
GOD! IF ENGLAND WANTS TT, (TEX-
AS0 LET HER HAVE TIVE DON'T
WANT IT. And for this well known oppos.
ton to annexation he received, as he Justly de-
served to receive, the cordial and uneigned ap-
pause of his friends and acquaintance here.

GOVERNOR CASS AND TEXAS.

The following statement is from the Detroit
Daily Advertiser, and may be, doubtless, relied
on for its accuracy. The position in which it
places Governor Cass, that of unqualified hos
tility to annexation, until he found Mr.. Van Bu-
rem occupying similar ground, is quite in charac-
ter with the most thorough demagogue and time
server Of his age. We have long ago lost all
respect for the political integrity of Governor
Glass; His demagogueism is of the most grow
cling and contemplate character betraying an
all-consumng lust of Office, without the ingenu-
ity necessary to accomplish his object, or the art
to conceal his longing. With the genuine spirit
of dough-faced Yankee Locofocc, which, as
regards politicians, is synonyme of all that is
mean-spirited and despicabe, he has for years
courted the South, hoping to be taken up as a
second 0Northern man with Southern princi-
Piles - but in reference to Texas the issue being
characteristic conpacency to General Jackson,
would 90 for annexation, and therefore he (Cass)
determined to take the opposite side of the ques-
tion consoling himself with the reflection that he
had nothing to loose. All of sudden his hopes
were exploded by the appearance of Van Buren's
letter against Texas, which left the Hero of Chip
pewa not an inch of ground to stand upon north
of the Potomac. He therefore threw somerset
inst1nter, and became a most uncompromising
advocate OF annexation but to no purpose The
chivalry determined is have a man of their own
mould, imbued thoroughly with the Texas fever,
as well as the doctrines of free trade. In cast
ing lots among themselves flor the dough-faces
were not allowed to compete for the honor\ the
prize fell to little Jimmy Polk.
From the Detroit Daily Advertiser,
We understand that Governor Cass leaves
this morning for Ohio, on an eectioneering tour
through that State. He will labor with all hi,
power, and all his influence, to induce the free
men Of Ohio to adopt this odious scheme of an
nexlng Texas to the Union. II becomes our du
ty, therefore, to furnish our Ohio friends, from
his own mouth, with the antidote to his poison.

on vague rumor, but will state facts and re

SPIRIT OF THE WING LADIES.

We love to record facts like the following II
gladdens the very soul 10 find the gray-haired
danes of Revolutionary generation engaged
now, as IN former times, heart and hand with the
Wings OF the country But TO the story !:
Among all those who threw wide open their
doors at The Great Wing Mass Meeting in Zanes-
vile on the memorable l4h Of August, was a
venerable lady living on. South street, a little east
OF Filth. Anxious 10 contribute her mite, with
her own hands, entirely unaided, she prepared a
bounifui repast, made up of all the substanias
and dellcacles the season afforded and when
spread upon her hospltable board, with commend
able qualification she surveyed her contribution
TO sustain that party, to which in all her life she
had given freely all her energies. She then sent
forth her sons, with directions to bring to her ia
blea score good Wings, and not to return with
less than that number.
AT the dining hour fifteen or twenty "stout
men and true" stoad at her board whom she thus
briefly and thrngly addressed: any friends,
we are all Wings When you 90 home say to
your neighbors that at the great Mass Meeting of
Wings IN Lanesvilleyou were the guests of an
old lady whose head was white with the SHOWS of
eighty -four winters; hat she prepared, solely
with her own hands, all that is spread before you,
as 1t may be the last act of life already extend
ed beyond the period allotted man ; that in her
youth she was for years an inmate of the homes
OF both Washington and Jefferson, and having
there learned from the lips of those worthless les
sons of genuine Wing Democracy, she has never
forgot them, and is therefore found at this day in
the midst OF the same great party with whom
those Revolutionary fathers acted Eat, them
Tor you are welcome And may The same sue
cess attend you now that awarded the heroic
struggles OF Washington and his army of Wing
patriots
The old lady's guests were from our sister county
Guernsey, and we will warrant that their efforts
IRON this time until the first of November will
tell well in the Wing majority of our neighbour
ZanesviAe Republican.
